A special farbrengen for men will be held in Shul on Motzai Shabbos, September 17, in honor of Chai Elul. The farbrengen is being sponsored by Moshe and Alexandra Melton in honor of their sons’ birthday(s). For more information, contact Rabbi Yochanan Posner or Rabbi Raices.

Summer may be nearing its end but the weather is still pretty great, and it’s enjoyable to be outdoors. We would very much like to install several comfortable benches in front of the Shul building for people to sit on and relax on during these pleasant days. This would certainly add to the comfortable atmosphere and experience of attending Shul. Please help us meet our fundraising goal of $2,000 for two benches, which will be installed by the Village of Skokie. For more info please be in touch with Rabbi Yochanan.

This Shabbat (9/10) during Kiddush time there will be a special meeting for ALL KIDS. Please make sure your kids are there and do not miss it!!! 

The Jewish Youth House kicked off this week in style!

On Tuesday we had our monthly CTeen event, The teens enjoyed a great program discussing "Perception: Does it limit or free us?", enjoyed edible sunglasses, got confused by optical illusions, and more. A great time was had by all.

This event was made even more exciting by the power outage! Thank you to Howard Kaplan for providing a generator on super-short notice.

On Wednesday the Jewish Boys Club had our first Pizza, Parsha, and Games. We did those three things and also enjoyed popcorn and more.

On Thursday the Jewish Girls Club had our first Pizza, Parsha, and Games. Once again, we did those three things and also enjoyed popcorn and more.

Thank you to Main Pizza/Chalavi for the delicious Pizza!

Mooz Teen Lounge hours are this Sunday, from 4:00 -6:00 pm for teens from 9th - 12th grades.

This Wednesday,  the Jewish Boys Club will be meeting for Pizza, Parsha, and Games from 5:00 - 6:00pm. The Mooz will be open till 7:00pm

Now is the time to place your Schach and/or Lulav & Esrog orders. To be sure that you have a kosher Lulav and Esrog to your liking, let us help you get exactly what you need and want. We check each Lulav and Esrog before it is sold to make sure it is fit to be used for the Mitzvah, and we will assemble it properly for you. All you have to do is come and pick it up. 
We can also arrange for evergreen Schach or bamboo mats, delivered to your home.Just click here to order. 

As we do every year, we will have a communal Simchas Torah lunch on 10/21. The food is always great and the atmosphere even better. After a long week of celebrating Sukkot with delicious home-cooked foods, this might just be the ticket! This meal was founded and organized for many years by Manny Scheer, a”h.

This meal is by reservation only – reserve here: http://www.skokiechabad.org/1613759 

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Steve Friedman on the passing of his father last Shabbos. He is sitting Shiva until Shabbos at 4137 Emerson in Skokie. “May Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayaim.”

We extend a hearty Mazal Tov Avi Scheer on his forthcoming wedding to Jillian Schutkin of Milwaukee, and to his mother, Ellyn Scheer. May they have only Nachas and Simcha together.

Mazal Tov to Miriam Rivka Lapson and to her parents Dovid and Galya Lapson on her recent celebration of her becoming Bat Mitzvah. May they have much Yiddishe Chasidishe Nachas!

Mazal Tov to Meira Superstein and to her parents Dovid and Judi Superstein and proud grandfather Kalman Glustoff on her becoming Bat Mitzvah. May they have much Yiddishe Chasidishe Nachas!
