BOOKS - BOOKS - BOOKS! There is a box of excellent, secondhand books in the shul's entrance hall. They are all repeats of books which we already have in our library. Please help yourself to a tome the next time you visit Kehilat Nitzan.
TIME TO SCHMOOZE AND CATCH UP!
Please join President Sue Zyngier and her husband David for a Wine and Cheese Evening at their home from 7-9pm on 29 July. Everyone is welcome! Simply click here to book. The address will be provided upon registration.
At this week's class, we were happy to welcome a new Kesher student, Zadie Wodak, to kick off term 3. We learned about kashrut by looking for sources in the Torah and discussing why someone might keep kosher. We examined different kinds of observances, and each of the participating bnei mitzvah considered whether it was an opportunity to examine their own eating practises.
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 email programs@kehilatnitzan.org.au
