We are privileged to host Rabbi Dr. Yisrael Rothwachs, Dean of Sinai Schools, at Shalosh Seduos this Shabbos.

We have the opportunity to host the well-known singer Shim Craimer on the first Shabbos in the beginning of March. In

arranged for your family, please contact Rachel Neufeld ([email protected]) or Daffy Yahalom ([email protected]).
To get involved in the sisterhood please email Sarit Glass and Esther Slomnicki at [email protected].
*************
Welcoming Committee: There have been many new faces in our shul over the course of the past few months. In order to make it
easier for new families to be properly welcomed, we have created this new email account. We ask all of you to join in our efforts by
contacting Chavi Satz or Leah Gottlieb at [email protected] if you know of a new family that has moved into the
community. Another initiative that we would like to institute is to ensure that each new BMOB family be welcomed into the home of a
current BMOB family for a shabbos meal. If you would be interested in hosting a new family at any point (this is not a commitment),
please email the welcoming committee to gather your information.
*************
With your help, we look forward to continuing our efforts to establish a warm and welcoming shul.
