This week we are opening up “shop” for the kids to redeem their tokens for prizes and games. The “store” will be open during Kiddush time, and everyone can shop and choose prizes which will then be placed in bags, with their names, to be taken home after Shabbos.

For halachic reasons unrelated to carrying, prizes cannot be taken home on Shabbos. If the parents cannot pick up the prizes at a time when the shul is open for regular davening, you can contact Yona Posner at 847 677 1770 x305 to arrange another time.

The new JLI course, Money Matters, begins this Thursday. We have a new video from Rabbi Yochanan inviting you to register now!

The video, more info, and especially REGISTRATION are available on the website atwww.SkokieChabad.org/JLI

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Judi Superstein תבלח"ט  on the loss of her father,  Mr. Kalman Glustoff  last Shabbos. May they know only Simcha in the future.
