- Current affairs discussion on Zoom. As part of the initiatives to keep Berman's members in touch during these challenging times, Steve Simpson will be hosting a weekly current affairs discussion group, the TGI Kiddush Night - Current affairs chat. The group will meet Wednesday evenings at 20:00. Topic: "Is there still room for middle-of-the-road Judaism". The Zoom link and future topics for discussion will regularly appear on the online calendar.
- Membership renewal. The shul continues to function, if differently for now, but most expenses continue. As always, the community has mostly been cooperative with registering their membership for 5781. This is especially gratifying as we contend with these difficult times both as individuals and as a community. If you have not yet paid your 5781 membership, you can deal with it right now (payment instructions - www.bermanshul.org/payments, registration form – www.bermanshul.org/rhform). Your prompt cooperation will save work for our administrative volunteers.
- Board meeting. The next board meeting will take place on Sunday Oct 25th at 20:15 via Zoom. https://weizmann.zoom.us/j/96900991828?pwd=YXZkM09xSk11WFhreHJRTy9QL3pEZz09. The agenda is posted on the member pages (login required).
