This Week @ Netivot
Welcome New Members
Meir & Marnina Stimmel and Gabriel (3)
Speakers on Shabbat
This week Joe Spraragen will give the Dvar Torah on Erev Shabbat, Barry Herzog will give the Dvar Torah during Shacharit and Jessica Langer will give the Dvar Torah at Seudah Shlishit.
Netivot Shalom Shabbat Morning Learner's Service
Our Learner's Service will take place this Shabbat on the second floor from 9:15-10:15 AM and is led by Yael Smooha. It is geared for those who would like to deepen their appreciation and understanding of the Shabbat tefillot. NOTE: It is not a halakhic service as there is no minyan of men, nor keriat HaTorah nor repetition of the amidah. As such there is no requirement for a mehitza and the bulk of the time is focused on discussion and learning of the prayers with some private recitation of a few selected prayers.
Rabbi Helfgot's Weekly Shiur on Sefer Ezra and Nehemiah
Rabbi Helfgot's shiur will resume on Tuesday, May 9th at his home at 8:30pm.
Tanakh/Mishna Study Project
Please make sure to sign up to learn a section of Tanakh or Mishna Moed, if you have not done so as of yet, for our community Torah learning which culminates with a shul wide siyum on Shavuot.
This week's Kiddush is sponsored by the Passner family to commemorate the 11th yarzeit of Barbara Kaplan, Debra's mother, and in celebration of Sam's 12th birthday.
Please assist this week's clean up captains: Rogovin & Rubenstein
Parents: you are responsible for making sure your children respect the shul and clean up after themselves.
