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

On Shabbos, one is not allowed to acquire things, so for this halachic reason, 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.

Join us & be part of our first ever Men’s Club breakfast, this Sunday, January 13th. All men are welcome.  We will start off with Shacharis at 8:00 a.m. then go into a homemade breakfast, and top it off with some learning.  At 9:00 a.m Rabbi Posner will discuss “Corporations in Halacha.” Amongst the issues to be covered: May we own shares in a corporation that owns Chometz on Pesach or does business on Shabbos? May we borrow to or lend from a corporation on interest? How may ongoing changes to the laws governing corporation be actually changing the relationship of shareholders to the corporation, and how might that change the Halachic status of owning shares in a corporation?

You won’t want to miss this event; come for the Torah, but plan on enjoying the food!

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.

This Sunday evening at 9:00 p.m. there will be Farbrengen with Rabbi Reuven Matasuf, Shliach in Paris, France. He is coming to town as the guest speaker for the Baba Sali dinner on Monday and has graciously agreed to farbreng the evening before.

The Hilula dinner in honor of the Baba Sali, Rabbi Yisrael Abichatzeira zt”l, this Monday, January 14, 2013 is sold out. Everyone is welcome to drop in for a l’chaim and to light a candle. If you’d like to be on the waiting list, in case of cancellations, please make sure to enter your info here: www.skokiechabad.org/2078227. The waitlist will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Maariv on Monday evening will take place downstairs, at 7:15 p.m., instead of the usual time. Shacharis Monday morning will also be downstairs, so upstairs can be prepared for the dinner.

On Friday, January 25, enjoy Shabbat dinner with friends, followed by an interesting presentation.

·         Do we have the basic knowledge of what the Torah expects of us in the business world, or how to conduct ourselves when it comes to money?

·         What do you know about day-to-day business ethics?

·         What happens when special situations arise, and you may need to do something questionable?

·         Has the Jewish educational system given us and our kids the tools to be good Jews in the real world?

·         Can Moses succeed on Wall Street, in the office, in the supermarket, or even in a friendly transaction between two friends?

Shalom Menora will answer these questions and more, based on his 30 years of experience in business both in Israel and the U.S.  Shalom, who originally hails from Chicago, currently lives in Israel, where he runs his real estate and hi-tech investment company. He is on the board of the Jewish Business Ethics Center in Jerusalem.

$24/adult, and $14/child for Friday night Shabbat dinner with supervised play for children. Reserve online now for a $2 discount per person at www.SkokieChabad.org/2095522
