Shalosh Seudos is sponsored by Rabbi Boruch and Chani Reichman to commemorate the Yahrzeit of Chana's mother Yachet bas Moshe A'H and by Jack and Margarita Judkovich to commemorate the yahrzeit of Jack Judkovich's mother Raizel Bas Yakov A'H.

Please note that this Monday, January 1, Shacharis will be at 8am. One would think that it being a day off work for most people that there would be no problem with that, but this past Monday we had a tough time. Please make it a point to join us on Monday as usual.  

Next Motzoei Shabbos, January 6, at 8:15pm, Heights Jewish Center will host a Shovavim symposium for married women, led by Rebbetzin Deena Davidovich and other respected rebbetzins in the community. See the attached flyer for details.

Here is a link to four short shiurim I have recorded for Parshas Vayechi. I hope you gain from them. https://audio.hjcs.org/series/parshas-vayechi-50

Regular reminders: 
The Chumash Shiur on Shabbos morning at 8:30am is exploring every week's parsha's connection to Tefilla, and how to enhance our davening.

Parents of young children: Remember that we look forward to seeing your children in Shul on Shabbos morning and have two programs for them, according to age. Chaya Leba Winters for the younger kids, and Rabbi Kirsch's youth program. 

I give a Tanya Class for women on Tuesday evenings at 7:15pm at the Dynan home, at 2260 Belvoir, open to all women in the community. 

The HJC Beis Medrash Mesilas Yesharim Chabura continues this Wednesday after Maariv, starting a new chapter: Chapter 11.

Chanukah concludes this afternoon. Remember to add Al Hanissim to the Mincha Shemoneh Esrei. 

Here is the shul's page of my Chanukah Audio Classes: https://audio.hjcs.org/series/chanukah-46

Shalosh Seudos is sponsored by Hillel & Zahava Seltzer in commemoration of the yahrzeits of  Zahava's father, Gershon Adler - Hachaver Gershon ben Hachaver Gad Meir, and of Hillel's mother, Barbara Seltzer - Baila bas Harav Yekusiel Peretz.  I will speak about Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kohn, the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, whose yohrtzeit was on the 27th of Kislev. 
The band, Mekim↑, is back and has another free concert, at Milky Way restaurant, on December 16th, Motzoei Shabbos, 8:30pm to 10:00 pm to benefit Magen David Adom with inspirational modern Jewish music. Mekim↑ are Steve Baker, Joey Steiner, Andrew Byer and Zaki Setnik.

Please note that from today until late January, sunrise in Cleveland will be after 7:45am. This means that the earliest time to make brochos on Talis and Tefillin is after the starting time of our shul's weekday Shacharis.  

Classes that were postponed this week due to Chanukah resume this week. We look forward to seeing you there.

Please note that next Friday is Asara B'Teves, a fast day, with earlier times for both Shacharis and Mincha, as noted above, posted throughout the shul, and on the shul's website. The fast concludes with Kiddush at or after 5:46pm on Friday night.  For added insight on this day, here is a link to a short audio class I gave a few years ago: https://audio.hjcs.org/shiur/the-love-and-grief-of-the-tenth-of-teves-514
