Announcements
While the Rav is out of town, we will be honored to welcome Rabbi Baruch Reichman to give the drasha Shabbos morning, and Rabbi Jason Claude, who will share Torah thoughts at Seuda Shelishit.
Tomorrow is the first Shabbos in February - that means it's time for the Annual Ice Cream for Breakfast Kiddush, sponsored by the International Ice Cream for Breakfast Committee, Cleveland Chapter, Fred Bolotin, Chapter Head. We will have dairy and parve ice cream and toppings! (I think also herring; combine at your own risk.) Even though Fred is out of town, he has left with us the ancient and holy IC4B Kiddush Hagadah!
This Shabbos is Shabbos Mevorchim for Adar Rishon - Rosh Chodesh is this coming Friday and next Shabbos.
Thank you to all who made our Minyanim possible all week, with many of our regulars absent! We always look forward to seeing everyone at davening!
Good Shabbos, Everyone!
