HJC News - Pesach

Refua Sheleima to Maya (Angart) Kleyman. Maya is currently at Montefiore, in room 389. 

There will be childcare in shul on the last two days of Yom-Tov. If your children come to shul with you on Shabbos or Yom-Tov, and you are not supervising them, 

we ask you to please tell

 them to respect Shul property and to clean up after themselves.

Heinen's will be open on Motzoei Shabbos from 9:00 to 11:00PM. 

The full Shul calendar for April and May is available on the shul's website, at http://www.hjcs.org/calendar/

My Torah blog has plenty of content, including new posts being uploaded regularly. Go to https://thisshiurisaboutyou.wordpress.com/ to read my thoughts. You can also subscribe there to receive the posts by email. 

Please note that Thursday and Friday we will be davening Mincha at the earlier time, 6:40pm. 

Set some sort of reminder to count Sefira with a Bracha at home after dark on Thursday night and Friday night. 

Early Mincha will then continue on Fridays through the end of August.

Starting the day after Pesach, the Mishnayos shiur will be held before Mincha. Next week, the shiur will be at 8pm.

Remember to make an Eiruv Tavshilin on Thursday afternoon before candle-lighting.

Set some sort of reminder to say Sefira at home after dark on Thursday night and Friday night.

Good Yom-Tov and Good Shabbos 

Rabbi Davidovich
