Message from the President Shabbat Shalom! Thank you Adele for yourvideo introduction to the drasha you will present this Shabbat morning.
I'm happy to tell you that as you read the rest of this newsletter, you will find the first of our Board Updates to you - our community. We want you to know what we are doing on your behalf.
A NOTE FROM THE FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
It’s been such a pleasure talking with you, our members, over the past couple of weeks. We have such a warm community, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has already generously contributed to our EOFY Campaign.
There is still time to make a tax deductable donation. All you have to do is to click here and make sure you choose the Library Fund.
HIGH HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERS We are looking for members of the Kehilat Nitzan community to help keep us safe over the High Holidays. Our team of volunteers will complement the work of the security guards and play an importat role in welcoming congregants to our shul on Rosh Hashana (Erev and both days), Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. Each day will be divided into shifts, so you will still be able to take part in the services.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Colin on 9500 0906 or email info@kehilatnitzan.org.au
Today we practised the blessing for after the Haftarah reading. We learnt about Tikkum Olam ('repairing the world') and the important work done by Mazon Australia, Pathways, and the National Council of Jewish Women. We prepared 'soup bags' to donate to those in need, and discussed the possibility of making a donation to one of these (or any another) charity in honour of our B'nei Mitzvot.
Our classes are now on winter break until July 12. If you know of a student age 9-12, do invite them and their family to check out our Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah program. You'll be glad you did. For more information contact Kehilat Nitzan on 9500 0906 or programs@kehilatnitzan.org.au
