NACHUM PLOTKIN<br />
Ritual Update<br />
Shalom friends! Another congregational year is almost over. It’s been<br />
an extremely busy and active one. The morning minyan has been<br />
attracting an average of 14-15 people and the camaraderie and coffee<br />
has kept us warm during those cold winter months.<br />
The evening minyan, however, could use an infusion of new people.<br />
If everyone would consider committing to one evening a month,<br />
we would never be short of a minyan. I appeal to those who have a<br />
yahrzeit, please come to honor the memory of YOUR loved one, and<br />
in doing do, you help others honor theirs = DOUBLE MITZVAH!<br />
Although many people leave for vacation during the summer, the synagogue does<br />
not close. We are here for you and hope to see you at services. On Shabbat morning,<br />
you will enjoy our special summer Devri’ Torah on a variety of topics, given by our various<br />
congregants. Join us Saturday evenings for our minyan/seudah shlisheit where you<br />
will enjoy good conversation, good food, and good company.<br />
Have a restful summer!<br />

Shaymot<br />
This is the time of year<br />
when Ritual Director<br />
Nachum Plotkin<br />
collects all old taleisim<br />
(tallises), worn and torn<br />
Bibles and prayer books<br />
and arranges for their<br />
burial during the<br />
summer months.<br />
Please bring anything<br />
you would like to<br />
dispose of in the<br />
proper manner to the<br />
synagogue office, marked<br />
“For Nachum” and he<br />
will be happy to take<br />
care of this for you!<br />
