All 6th grade girls and their mothers are invited to our 6th annual JEWISH
HEROINES THROUGH THE AGES: The Matan Mother-Daughter Bat Mitzvah
Program. Discover how Jewish women are part of a chain across the generations
and how the Bat Mitzvah can serve as a bridge connecting the young girl to
Jewish continuity. Each week we delve into the midot of our matriarchs through
different modes of self-expression such as creative dance, music, theater, art and
guided imagery. Fall 2014 sessions begin October 26. Baby sitting for younger
siblings available upon request. To register, contact Sarah Feder at 718-6989885 or [email protected].
On shabbos parshas Bereishis, October 18th, Rabbi Polakoff will be beginning a
new series of pre-mincha shiurim on the subject of Tefilla. He will be focusing
on the background and philosophy of prayer, as well as on gaining a better
understanding of the meaning of our tefillos. Rabbi Polakoff will also be starting
a new series of Tuesday night shiurim on the subject of Hilchos Shabbos
beginning Tuesday October 21st. The shiurim will be focused on practical
halacha with some pertinent background information. All shiurim are open to
both men and women.
The Young Marrieds of Staten Island are interested in helping to organize and
advertise The Shabbos Project (October 24-25 Parshas Noach) so that our
community can participate in this great project! We are hoping to really get the
word out there in our neighborhood. If you want to help organize it please let us
know. We need to spread the word, and spread the word fast! For more
information or if you want to help you can contact Shaindy Silber at (718) 9388887, Jesse Slater at (718) 619-0045, or Daniel Slomnicki at (718) 757-8298. Or

A Course on “Tefillah”, based on the teachings of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik,
will be given by Norman Linzer on alternate Tuesday mornings at 10:00 AM in
the main shul, beginning October 28. It will alternate with Tuesday class given by
Rabbi Lehrfield. Among the major objectives are to understand the Rav’s
conception of tefillah, to utilize tefillah as a means of developing a relationship
with God, and to enhance the meaning of one’s davening. The text is the Koren
Mesorat HaravSiddur, 2012, OU Oress, which can be purchased from Amazon
for about $21. Additional handouts will be distributed. The course will be taught
seminar-style, thereby maximizing participation. Women and men are welcome.
In order to show that everyone has a voice in our beautiful Shul, we have
created a new email, [email protected] specifically for ideas to be heard.
Emails will personally be read by our President. Only emails that are signed
with a name and phone number will be considered. All emails signed will get
a quick response. Our President can be reached at 917-567-7383
For those of you who are already members, we thank you for your commitment
and support. For those of you who have not yet joined our shul, we encourage
you to show your support by becoming a member of our family. With your help
