Late Breaking Announcements!

Hi, all - A couple of quick addenda to today's Shabbos Announcements!

Mazel Tov to Stuart and Leah Mintz on the engagement of Dovi Gecovich, Stu's grandson!

Shalosh Seudos is sponsored by Hillel and Zahava Seltzer in commemoration of the yahrzeits of

- Zahava's brother, Eli Adler, HaChaver Eliyahu ben HaChaver Gershon,

- Hillel's grandfather, Al Seltzer, Alexander ben Avraham, and

- Hillel's great uncle, Joshua Merves, Yehoshua ben Hillel Zalman HaCohen (Private First Class, 21st Armored Infantry Battalion, 11th Armored Division, killed in Germany in the final days of WWII).

A very special thank you to Jeff Muller and the whole crew for the highly successful Kosher Food Stand that followed the Memorial Day Parade!  

Don't forget - the Heights Jewish Center Picnic will be on July 14 at Acacia Reservation (same location as last year).  Planning is underway - contact Jeff Muller if you want to help with planning and/or volunteering at the picnic.

Shavuos is  right around the corner - plans for Shavuos Eve Learning will be announced early next week!

Good Shabbos!

Poland Summer Shiur Series
Last week, I spent a whirlwind five days in Poland, visiting historic sites, and several Mekomos Hakedoshim, the resting places of several of our great tzaddikim.
I will speak about the trip in my drasha this Shabbos morning.
But I can't do justice to the trip in one talk.
I will therefore devote my Shabbos afternoon pre-Mincha Shiur for the next few months to discussing the trip, and the halachic and historical and Hassidic details of the amazing experience.
30 minutes before Shabbos Mincha in shul. I look forward to sharing my experiences and impressions with you.
The series begins this Shabbos afternoon at 7:55pm.
Men and women are invited

This Shabbos we learn chapter 5 of Pirkei Avos. This week at Shalosh Seudos, I will speak about the Rama, Rav Moshe Isserles, whose Yohrtzeit was the 18th of Iyar.

This week, HJC will commemorate the Yohrtzeits of the following people:

George Feldstein
Rev. Abraham Elijah Friedman

Announcements and a Request

Good Erev Shabbos, Everyone!

Since a number of our regulars are out of town for the Holiday Weekend, please make an effort to join us for Davening, Friday night especially, at 7:05 PM!  We need YOU to help make the Minyan!

The Rabbi is out of town this week, so Rabbi Yossi Kirsch will be sharing divrei Torah with us at Shacharis and Shalosh Seudos.  

The Dr. Bela Glaser Memorial Parsha Shiur will not meet, nor will the Tanya Shiur.

Monday is Memorial Day!  We are going to be running a Kosher Food Stand at the end of the University Heights Memorial Day Parade, at Gearity School.  Please see the attached flyer!

Shacharis Monday is at 8 am.

Have a safe, healthy, happy Shabbos and Holiday Weekend!
