Part Two of "Strategies for Rosh Hashana and the Year Ahead" will take place this Sunday at 8 PM at the Shul. Part One is available on the Shul's website. http://www.hjcs.org/audioclass.php Take a look at the other shiurim available there too.

The Pre-Selichos Drasha will begin tomorrow night at 11:30PM and Selichos will begin at 12AM.

The Shul Office will be open Sunday between 9am and 12noon.

We would appreciate the help of anyone who can help this Sunday morning to set up the shul for Rosh Hashana. Please see Rob Altshuler to offer some of your time.

If you have not already done so, please contact the office this week to reserve your seats for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.

Childcare is available Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur by pre-paid reservation only. Please contact the office to reserve.

Aliyos for Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur:

The Mishna Berura quotes the great compendium on all Yomim Noraim matters, the Mateh Ephraim, as follows:

"It is appropriate for every G-d fearing man to make an effort to get an Aliyah on the Yomim Noraim (Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur). Even in places where the Aliyos are usually auctioned off [to the wealthy], one should "purchase" an Aliya for that time of year for as much as his means allow.

"[And lest one think that there is something degrading about purchasing an Aliyah at such a holy time of year, the truth is] just the opposite: There is greater spiritual advantage in a Mitzvah that comes one's way through monetary expenditure than in a Mitzvah that has come one's way free of charge."

If you are interested in taking the initiative in acquiring this merit for yourself or someone else and investing in our Kehilla at the same time, please call the office (216-382-1958), or contact Martin Lipman at Martin.Lipman@symphonyiri.com

Fwd: JFSA Critical Needs

2011-08-10T13:15:00.001-04:00

At JFSA we currently have two critical needs that we are looking to fill. If you can be of any help in letting the community know we would be grateful.

1) Our food pantry is extremely low with many requests pouring in. If you could let congregants know, perhaps they could drop off foodstuff during the week. The address is

JFSA - Drost Family Center

24075 Commerce Park Rd

Beachwood, OH 44122

We would be happy to come by and pick up the goods if no one is able to deliver them to the JFSA Food Pantry in Commerce Park. They need canned EVERYTHING (fruit, vegetables, soups, peanut butter, jelly, sauces, beans, +++) tuna, hot and cold cereals and rice (not pasta).

2) We are looking for volunteers to deliver in our Home Delivered Meals Program. On Tuesday and /or Thursday mornings volunteers pick up the meals at Myers Apartments and deliver to the elderly and housebound in the eastern suburbs. Volunteers should allow approximately 2.5 hours to deliver meals, friendly greetings and smiles!

Thank you so much for any help that you can give us.

Please contact: Sandra Lusher-Waterhouse, Manager of Volunteers, Jewish Family Service Association 216-378-3475 or slusher@jfsa-cleveland.org
