Chaim
Sarasohn, one of our hard-working Youth Committee volunteers, will now be
overseeing the weekly Shabbos-morning and monthly Shabbos-afternoon
groups. If you have any groups-related suggestions or comments, please
feel free to contact
him. Thanks.
All your
past work on behalf of our community's young men & women is greatly
appreciated, Chaim! Hatzlachah rabbah in this new undertaking.
---back to the top---
A wide
variety of joyous events are planned over the course of the next few days,
including but not limited to
·
the shul's annual
Melaveh Malkah;
and
·
subsequent to a
well-received set of Taharas Hamishpachah shiurim for married women by
Rebbetzin Neuberger of the Bruriah faculty, the first of two Taharas
Hamishpachah shiurim by Rabbi Herman for married men
(both sets of shiurim are sponsored by Mikvah Tomer Devorah)
For
details on these and other events (both past and planned, both specific to our
community and basic to the Jewish life cycle), please consult the online calendar. In fact, as we
regularly update the calendar, please check it weekly! As always, if you
have any comments or suggestions on it or any other aspect of the Website, feel
free to reply to this message. Thank you, and have a wonderful and
restful Shabbos!

Rabbi Herman's two-part Taharas Hamishpachah shiur for married men will not begin tonight, due to today's snowstorm. Instead, Part I is rescheduled for this coming Sunday night, 19 February, and Part II will i'y'H' take place on the following Sunday night, 26 February; as before, both shiurim are scheduled to begin at 8PM. Thank you, and please stay safe during and after the storm!

Mrs. Geiger just finished sitting shiv'a for her father, Henry Spatz a'h'. She came back from Massachusetts late last week, so many community members may not have been able to visit & provide comfort during her shiv'a (or, indeed, may not have been aware she was sitting shiv'a in her home). If you can, take a few moments and call her (tel#: 908-351-2475) or write up & send a condolence card (ZIP: 07083-7754). Thanks!

The meteorologists promise colder weather, but here in Elizabeth, we're bringing the heat! After enjoying a wonderful Shabbos with family & friends, come on down to the JEC gym (a/k/a the Levy Auditorium) for what promises to be a truly-fun evening with a serious side: sample food & drink together with your neighbors while you consider your Purim-s'udah, Pesach-saider, and other culinary needs -- no speeches, we promise! -- and raise funds for your community's school.
Does it get any better? Of course it does. Rabbi Avrohom Herman will i'y'H' (weather permitting ;-)) be giving the first of two shiurim on the topic of Taharas Hamishpachah this coming Sunday evening for engaged and married men. You will definitely learn something -- please come!
Have a really-special weekend, recharge your spiritual and physical batteries, and stay tuned for new announcements next week!

One more
announcement before Shabbos: a newsletter for our
shul! Kudos to Sheila Nashofer and Alex Flomin for working night &
day to bring this newsletter to you -- we wish them much hatzlachah in
continuing
to bring us JEC Elmora Shul news and shul-related features in a
beautiful, compact format.
A guten Shabbes to all!

As indicated
in the weekly bulletin,
two minyanim are scheduled for Monday morning: one at 7:30AM, to take place in the
JEC Reibel ("street-level"/"old") Bais Medrash, and the
other at 8:30AM, to take place in the main shul. A third minyan, at 6:40AM, will i'y'H' be held
in the Reibel Bais Medrash, and it (not the 7:30AM minyan) will i'y'H'
be preceded by a 15-min. Mishna Yomis shiur to be given, as usual, by Rabbi
Herman. Thank you.
