Getting a minyan for Friday night in the summer is challenging. We have not had a minyan the past couple of weeks. If you can, please make every effort to join.If holding minyan at another time would help you be able to attend regularly, please email president@netivotshalomnj.org with your preferred time. If you accept shabbat with the shul minyan, please make sure to light candles before 7:35 PM and refrain from melakha after that point. Candle lighting: 7:47 PM Sunset: 8:05 PM

Goodbye Kiddush for the Michelsons and the Schnecks
It is with bittersweet hearts we bid farewell to two families who have been an integral part of Netivot Shalom. We will miss the Michelson and Schneck families but are proud to support them as they make their new homes in Israel.
Kiddush this week is sponsored in their honor.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored. A list of sponsors and the messages included on the form will be given to the families. If you didn't get a chance to sponsor and would like to, sponsorships are open until tomorrow afternoon. Sponsor
