This Week @ Netivot
Update on the Heat
The replacement for the heating system in the sanctuary will not be installed in time for Shabbat. However, last week we used the one working unit for Shabbat morning and the sanctuary was warm. In order to avoid overextending the working unit, we will use it for Shabbat morning only. Evening services on Friday and Shabbat will be in the Social Hall if the Sanctuary is too cold. Please make every effort to attend. The heating system in the social hall/upstairs is working as usual.
Welcome New Members
Welcome new members Dana Newborn, Zachary Rosenberg and Joshua.
Welcome new members Erika and Avi Mandel.
Mitzvah Day Collection
For the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey’s Mitzvah Day, on November 18th, Netivot Shalom will be participating in two collections. The first is for new, unopened puzzles—for ages 8 to 98—to be distributed to patients at the Carrier Clinic for Behavioral Healthcare & Addiction Treatment in Belle Meade, NJ. The second is for children’s clothing in good condition to be sent to Yad Leah for distribution to needy communities in Israel.
Debra and Jon Passner have volunteered their back porch (563 Cumberland Avenue) as a drop-off site. For more information, contact Sarah Dauber or Sima Kern.

26th Annual Bergen County Toy Drive
Our shul is once again participating in The 26th Annual Bergen County Chanukah Toy Drive. We are collecting new and unwrapped toys and gifts for children and young adults going through trying times. Please drop off your donations at the Cohen Residence, 914 Ridgeway St., Teaneck, from now until Friday, November 23rd. The Bergen County Toy Drive is a great collaborative effort across many Bergen County Jewish Schools, Synagogues and Temples and donates to 18 different charity organizations. Your donations will help us share the excitement of Chanukah with thousands of children and young adults. This is a great opportunity to involve your children in the mitzvah of tzedakah!
Communal Learning
We will once again have a communal learning program over the course of the next seven months to conclude on the holiday of Matan Torah-Shavuot 5779. Please sign up for a portion of Tanakh or Seder Nezikin of the Mishna HERE . We would love to have everyone participate in some fashion.
Mitzvah Cards
Netivot Shalom Mitzvah Cards are a meaningful way to express mazal tov, congratulations or condolences. Mitzvah Cards are $18 each. The shul will mail them to your recipent, making them an easy and convenient way to recognize special occasions while supporting Netivot Shalom.
Sponsorships for a youth department Kiddush with special snacks are available for $36! Kiddush sponsorships are for children's birthday and special events (like a sports victory or school award) only.
