Dear Fellow Members,

Arthur Malihimov, Lenny Abramov, Alex Abramov, and Myself are proud to be offering Winter Swim Sessions sponsored by Heights Jewish Center to the Jewish Community at the Keller Center on Notre Dame Campus. There will be 4 Sunday Sessions, with separate times for Men and Women on Jan 12, Jan 26, Feb 2, and February 9.  All proceeds will go directly to Heights Jewish Center. Please show your support by attending any of the sessions and also have some fun at the same time. If these session are well attended, we will consider adding more sessions. If you would be interested in volunteering at the door for any of these sessions please contact our committee via the email or phone number on the flyer.

I have attached our flyer to this email. 

Sincerely,

Josh Mendelson

Mincha this coming week will be at 6:10pm.  This means that several of our regulars will no longer be able to join us for Mincha-Maariv until the end of the winter.  Our Mincha-Maariv minyan has cut it very very close several times recently. Please, if you are not at work and can help us guarantee a minyan this week, and especially after the clocks change, we would love to see you, every day, or any day.  It has happened more than once that someone who never comes for Mincha-Maariv, or even two or three such people, decide to randomly drop in, and made the minyan as a result.
