A big thank-you to Rebbetzin Davidovich, Marni Moore and the Ladies of HJC for the wonderful Leil Iyun program that took place this past Sunday.

Make an Eiruv Tavshilin. See the Artscroll Siddur on p.654 for instructions.

Shavuos Night at Midnight, we will spend the night exploring his classic sefer Mesillas Yesharim, and its author the Ramchal, Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto ZT"L. It will be a night of deep insights into Jewish History, philosophy, kabbala, mussar, and chassidus, and controversy.  If you have your own copy of Mesillas Yesharim, please bring it with you. 

Shavuos night will serve as a preview to a new weekly Beis Medrash Program at Heights, featuring a Mesillas Yesharim Chabura we will be offering every Wednesday after Maariv, beginning on May 31st.  

The shul will also be open and available all Shavuos night to people who wish to learn alone, or with a chavrusa etc. Coffee and refreshments will be available throughout the night as well.

Please note that on the first day of Shavuos, Friday morning, HJC will have only one Shacharis, at 9:00am. Those people who wish to daven at a sunrise minyan should please note that we will conclude the learning early enough to enable people to make it to other minyanim.

On Shavuos morning, the Torah Reading will include the reading of the Aseres Hadibros (AKA "The Ten Commandments'') . This is a special moment that is a reenactment of Hashem revealing Himself to every Jew. As such, a custom has developed to encourage every Jew, man women and child, to attend this reading. In order to encourage this practice, there is a community initiative including a raffle to encourage parents to bring their children to shul on Shavuos morning. We estimate that the reading will be no earlier than 10:15am. Our childcare program will be taking place and bringing the children up to the shul to hear the leining at this time. 

Shalosh Seudos/Neilas Hachag is sponsored by Rabbi Boruch and Chani Reichman l'zeicher nishmas Rabbi Reichman's father, Chaim Eliyahu Ben Zev A'H.  

This Monday is Memorial Day, a Legal Holiday; Shacharis will be at 8am.

The University Heights Memorial day Parade will be this coming Monday, May 29. The parade will have a different route this year, and will end at Gearity School on the playground. New this year will be the option to purchase kosher food (hot dogs, chips, cookies, popcorn and drinks) provided by Heights Jewish Center! Please share this with your friends.

Next week, Heights Jewish Center will commemorate the Yohrtzeits of:

The Simcha Kiddush this Shabbos is co-sponsored by:

• Beth Baker; so much gratitude for my husband.
• Fred and Katia Bolotin in honor of Yom Yerushalayim.

• Martin Lipman, in honor of completing Masechta Sotah with Daf Yomi.
• Larry and Barbara Mervine Good wishes and Shabbat Shalom to everyone. I hope all board members will continue to help the congregation.

This week at Shalosh Seudos I will be speaking about Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto - the Ramchal, whose Yohrtzeit was the 26th of Iyar. The talk at Shalosh Seudos will be a prelude to Shavuos Night at Midnight, when we will spend the night exploring his classic sefer Mesillas Yesharim.

Shavuos night will also serve as a preview to a new weekly Beis Medrash Program at Heights, featuring a Mesillas Yesharim Chabura we will be offering every Wednesday after Ma'ariv, beginning on May 31st.  Stay tuned.

The Ladies of Heights Jewish Center are having an event this Sunday May 21 at 8pm. The flyer with all the info is attached to this email.

The full Shavuos Schedule will be released early next week. As mentioned earlier, Shavuos night will be devoted to an in-depth look into the Ramchal and Mesillas Yesharim. But we welcome those who wish to learn alone or with a chavrusa or chabura, and then join the shul for the 5:25am Shacharis. We want to assume that we will have a Vasikin (early) minyan on Friday morning at 5:25am. Please consider joining us for learning and/or the early minyan even if you usually go elsewhere.

If you want to join the Shul's new Whatsapp Info group, please use this link:
