Message from the President
I would like to thank Tzvi Zelcer for delivering an excellent and
informative lecture on strategic and financial planning. I spoke with
many that were in attendance, and they all enjoyed the evening. I
would also like to thank the Friends of Shomrei committee, for arranging
this event, and continuing to think of things that can bring members of
the shul together.
I would also like to thank Avi and Shana Zuckerbrod for hosting the
oneg last Friday night for the younger members. I understand that there
was a full house, with plenty of singing and eating. If members over 35
would like to have an oneg, we can have an early bird special starting
at 4:00 any Friday afternoon. We really do appreciate people
stepping up and volunteering to host events or assist with activities that
help bring us all together.
I am also happy to share that we have a date for our next event at the
shul. Please join us on February 14, at 8:30 PM for a dairy bistro and
game night. We will be advertising this event for the next few weeks,
and it should be a great evening for all. There will be a flyer with all
the details, as well as an email address for reservations.
While I try not to single out Mazel Tovs, I would like to wish a mazel tov
to Hillel and Keren Traub, on the marriage of their daughter Ayala to
Moshe Bengio this past week. Besides the major contribution that the
Traub’s‫‫‬provide‫‫‬to‫‫‬the‫‫‬community,‫‫‬Hillel‫‫‬was‫‫‬involved‫‫‬for‫‫‬many‫‫‬years‫‫‬as‫‫‬
an officer of the shul; and their volunteerism to the shul has been greatly
appreciated.
I would also like to wish a Mazel Tov to my brother and sister-in-law,
Moshe and Gila Spero on the Bar Mitzvah of their son, Yehuda, at Glen
Avenue shul. I will be joining them for Shabbos. For those of you that will
miss me, there will be pictures placed in strategic places throughout the
shul.‫ ‫‬Suburban‫ ‫‬last‫ ‫‬week,‫ ‫‬Glen‫ ‫‬Avenue‫ ‫‬this‫ ‫‬week,‫ ‫‬it’s‫ ‫‬like‫ ‫‬a‫ ‫‬Where’s‫‫‬
Waldo game, but I am the fellow in the horizontal striped shirt.
Have a great Shabbos,
Chaim
Melavah Malka!
If you are age 20-33ish (married or single), join us this Motzei
Shabbos, January 10th, for a Melavah Malka! Games, food, laughter!
8:30-11:45pm, at the home of the Bernards, 2804 Cheswolde Road.
Thank you to the many contributors who donated to the recent
Har Nof Fund and the Big Brother Program campaigns. We are
sure that your thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated by the
various recipients of your generosity.
