16 Help End Gun Violence in RI Here s a small step you can take right away to help stop gun violence. The RI Board of Rabbis and Temple Emanu-el s Social Justice Committee support the RI Coalition Against Gun Violence and three important bills in RI. One bill requires that only law enforcement officers can bring guns into K to 12 schools. One bans assault weapons in RI. The third limits high capacity ammunition magazines to ten rounds. If you agree with these ideas, here s how you can help: Outside the temple office, there s a table with two stacks of pre-addressed, pre-written post cards. Please sign one post card addressed to House Speaker Mattiello and one addressed to Senate President Ruggerio and drop your signed post cards into the large envelope on the table; we ll mail your cards for you, if you d like us to do that. If you d like to donate money to help us buy stamps for the cards, please contact Rabbi Franklin. If you d like to help get signatures on cards, feel free to take some with you to give to your friends and coworkers. You re very welcome to join Temple Emanu-el s Social Justice Committee (contact Maia Bromberg Kraus, Social Justice Committee Chairperson) and the RI Coalition Against Gun Violence ( Also, there is an upcoming conference in May of the RI Interfaith Coalition to Reduce Poverty.

18 a Having a Minyan twice every day is one of the ways we support each other as a community. These daily services offer those in mourning or observing a Yahrzeit an opportunity to recite Kaddish, and they provide all of us a space for us to come together in communal prayer. Unfortunately, it has occasionally been difficult to find ten people who can attend and make Minyan possible. We are turning to you to ask you to consider attending Minyan. Please consider joining us at the following times. We could especially use your help on the weekends! Thank you for supporting this important aspect of our community! MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: 7:00AM AND 5:45PM SATURDAY EVENING: TIMES VARY; SEE THE TEMPLE CALENDAR, WEBSITE, OR WEEKLY SUNDAYS: 8:00AM AND 5:45PM
