We have changed the combination for the lock on the alley door. The old combination no longer works.

If you need to be able to gain access to the building at times when it is not open to the public, please speak to Rabbi Yosef Posner.

We are glad to announce that some people read this newsletter very carefully. Several weeks ago we announced that we are in need of some cars, and that we are gratefully accepting donations. Somebody read that and was inspired to donate two beautiful cars. We sincerely thank this generous and anonymous donor!

There will be a breakfast for men at Shul on January 13, 2013, 9:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. Rabbi Posner will discuss some interesting Halacha of Business case studies. We thank Hiam Naiditch for being the driving force behind this event, and his committee of Yehuda Leib Burgeman, Evan Loiterman, Rob Phillips, Dr. Berel Polisky, Steve Rosenberg.

Please join us for a Hilula dinner in honor of the Baba Sali, Rabbi Yisrael Abichatzeira zt”l. Featuring guest speakers Rabbi Dr. Hanania Elbaz of New York, Rabbi Reuven Matusof of France, Rabbi Daniel J. Raccah, as well as live music by Isaac Bitton of Raya Mehemna fame. Monday, January 14, 2013, 7:30 pm promptly (doors open at 7:15 pm) at Lubavitch Chabad of Skokie, 4059 Dempster. There is limited seating available and advance reservation required.

Reserve now for this event at www.SkokieChabad.org/Hilula

We thank Tal Adar and Shlomi Fedida for taking down the Shul Menorah, and Noach Dov Shudnow and Yankel Raices for helping to pack it up for transport to the warehouse.

We thank the “Menorah Dream Team” for taking down the giant Menorahs all around town: Tal Adar, Avi Belson,  Hiam Naiditch, and David Superstein.

Mazal Tov to Steve and Devorah Friedman on their daughter Rivkah becoming Bas Mitzvah. May they have much Yiddishe, Chassidishe Nachas!

Mazal Tov to Eytan and Miriam Dallal on their daughter Tamar becoming Bas Mitzvah. May they have much Yiddishe, Chassidishe Nachas!

With sadness we report the passing in Israel of Joe Rosen, son-in-law of Rabbi and Rebetzin Rosenthal. May Hashem comfort the family among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.

Thank you to the salad committee of Friedman & Scheer for making our Kiddush salads. This week’s salads are Green salad with BBQ chips, pea with cashews, and quinoa.

Earliest Tallis: on Mon: 6:21 am - Fri: 6:22 am *
*) The time we are posting is primarily with our weekday 6:30 minyan attendees in mind. If someone must daven earlier, please be aware that there are other opinions of how to calculate this.

Sunday is Asara B'Teves (the Tenth of Teves). We fast on this day from dawn until nightfall, because this is the date on which the siege of Yerushalayim began, which lead eventually to the destruction of the First Bais Hamikdash. Selichos are said in davening, and there is Torah-reading at Shacharis and Mincha. It is permissible to get up early to eat until approximately 5:31 a.m. (if, when going to sleep the night before, one had in mind to do so). The fast ends at 5:00 p.m.

 

This Tuesday we will be on legal holiday schedule, with Shacharis at 8:00 a.m. and Mincha at 4:15 p.m. There will not be a 7:45 Maariv Minyan.
