HJC News - Parshas Tzav

Shalosh Seudos is sponsored by Hillel and Zahava Seltzer in commemoration of the yahrzeits of  Hillel's grandmother Suri Mandel, Sarah bas Harav Yitzchak Yoseph, Hillel's great grandfather Rabbi Yehuda Mandel, Harav Yehuda ben Dovid, Hillel's great grandmother Miriam Merves, Miriam bas Mordechai A'H.

At Shalosh Seudos, I will speak about Rav Chaim Kanievsky ZT"L, who was just niftar today, Shushan Purim.  

As we approach the month of April, I would like to get feedback regarding making early Shabbos in the weeks before Pesach. Those April Friday Mincha's before Pesach are often difficult in that early Mincha is too early for some, while late (yes, I know, On Time) Shabbos is too difficult for many families. If you have any input to offer, please let me know. At this point, I don't think we have the numbers to allow for two Friday night minyanim, so a choice has to be made.

Shalosh Seudos is sponsored by Rabbi Jason and Sandra Claude in celebration of their 11th anniversary, and Jason receiving semicha (again) from Rav Dovid Ostroff of Yerushalayim.

At Shalosh Seudos I will speak about Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky ZT"L, whose yohrtzeit was the 29th of Adar Rishon.

Last week, we spoke about Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin. If anyone would like to add the seforim of Rabbi Zevin to the shul's library, or to your own home libraries, here is the link to his works that have been translated into English: https://www.artscroll.com/search/Zevin.aspx
