SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS תזכורות, אירועים ופעילויות של בית הכנסת

Please see several last-minute announcements at the bottom of the bulletin.

  • Yeshiva gates. There have been some changes regarding the eastern gates to the yeshiva campus, and their status may be in flux over the next few weeks. The current situation is that the north-east gate (near the Ra'mim apartments) has been locked by the Iriya, and will remain closed. The south-east gate (near the gym) has an electronic lock for week-days (code on the member's only page), and will probably be open on shabbat.

Last week's Basement:

  • Town Playhouse presents Stephen Sondheim's award winning musical “Assassins”, based on an incisive book by John Weidman, which imagines what nine men and women who attempted to assassinate the president of the United States (four of them successfully) would have said to each other and to us if they could.  A tragic comedy about how a country built on dreams can lead to chaos and despair.

  • The Hadara Yehudit Emunah Chapter of Rehovot is collecting Purim costumes for the Emunah kindergarten in Gedera. Many of these children come from families who are living below the poverty line. All the children are dressed up from costumes in the gan, which are used from year to year. But due to wear and tear they are in need of simple costumes for 1 year-old children as well as those for 2 and 3 year olds. NOT bee costumes or ladybirds. The costumes should be clean, and in good condition. Please phone Barbara Pfeffer if you are able to donate something at 054-5581 300. We are also appealing for clothing in good condition and CLEAN, as well as shoes for these children from the ages of 6 months to 5 years old. Also, children's books in Ivrit and toys all in good condition, are always welcome additions. To donate, please phone Barbara Pfeffer at 054-558-1300.

 

Late arriving announcements (Please note..This is the LAST TIME the Bulletin will accept additions after the regular Wednesday evening deadline):

  • We received numerous substantive comments to the AGM minutes, resulting in some major changes to this document. We ask the membership to please take a second look here, before the minutes are ratified.
  • Scholar in residence. We are pleased to announce that Rabbi Dr. Yissachar Seussowitz will be our scholar in residence on Shabbat Zachor, Feb 23-24. He holds a PhD in psychology (though he now strongly eschews secular studies), and his life's work has been dedicated to discovering and re-introducing little known chumrot. His seforim portray his educational philosophy, suggesting that children should be taught as many of these chumrot as possible. Please make an effort to come, as we believe that Rabbi Seussowitz's approach reflects the values to which our community should aspire. He will be giving three lectures:
    *Friday night, Feb 23rd, 8:00 PM. "Do not Hop on Pop: The important mitzva of kibbud horim: Your parent is not your friend".
    *Shabbat morning, after kiddush at 11:00. "I can read with my eyes closed: Studies in kavanah". 
    *Shabbat afternoon after mincha. "Fox in Socks: Topics in tznius". Why the Women of Rehovot should wear socks, especially in the summer".
  • In deference to Dr. Seussowitz the kiddush next week will be conducted with gender separation. Signs will indicate areas where the men and women may (separately) congregate.
  • Bermans and JOFA- The Berman shul together with the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance is pleased to invite you to a Purim lecture by a renowned rabbi from one of the leading pre-military mechinot. Our speaker was recently featured in a video instructing his students as part of a marriage-preparation class. He stated that women's greatest talent is in the arts, namely kippa knitting, that they cannot attain the spiritual heights of men, that they babble, are less intelligent than men, are poor drivers, and only pretend to multi-task. Lecture topic: Tshuva.

BE HAPPY IT'S ADAR
