This Week @ Netivot
Global Day of Learning
The Global Day of Jewish Learning is an initiative of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz to unite the Jewish people through study of our shared texts. Netivot Shalom joins with hundreds of communities across the contents in learning - this year's theme is Extraordinary Passages: Text and Travel.
The shiur will be presented between Mincha and Ma'ariv, this Shabbat, November 10th, on the topic "Albert Einstein’s 2 Greatest Mistakes and Torah."
This year's speaker is Rabbi Dr. Matisyahu Shulman. Rabbi Shulman is an addiction psychiatry fellow at Columbia University Medical Center and psychiatrist at Flat Rock Psychiatry in Teaneck.

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.

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!

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.
