We hope you will feel welcome whenever you are in town. If you are a new resident to our area, please introduce yourself so we can properly welcome you and tell you more about our wonderful congregation and community. SCHEDULE Candle Lighting 5/11 7:50 PM Morning Service 5/12 9:30 AM Shabbat Ends 5/12 8:54 PM Candle Lighting 5/18 7:57 PM DAILY MINYAN If you are in need of a Minyan for a Yahrzeit for a loved one please contact Paul Walsky at or him at paulwalsky@yahoo.com or call Jody Goldsmith at or him at jody_goldsmith@hotmail.com. VOLUNTEERS Since we are short staffed in the office, for the time being, anyone willing to help out with answering the phone and letting people into the building, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Just a couple of hours would be a great help. If you are willing to help out, please call Shirley Aronson at On the mountain of Sinai, G d communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast. Seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by a fiftieth year the Jubilee year, on which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are set free, and all ancestral estates in the Holy Land that have been sold revert to their original owners. Behar also contains additional laws governing the sale of lands, and the prohibitions against fraud and usury. G d promises that if the people of Israel will keep His commandments, they will enjoy material prosperity and dwell secure in their homeland. But He also delivers a harsh rebuke, warning of the exile, persecution and other evils that will befall them if they abandon their covenant with Him. Nevertheless, Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; nor will I ever abhor them, to destroy them and to break My covenant with them; for I am the L rd their G d. The Parshah concludes with the rules on how to calculate the values of different types of pledges made to G d, and the mitzvah of tithing produce and livestock. 1

A PIECE OF OUR HISTORY An old school desk from the old Shul on Prince George St. down by Gate 1 of the USNA has been donated to us.

3 MERGER COMMITTEE UPDATE The CKI/CKS merger committee met on Monday, April 30th. We discussed some of the environmental issues as well as governmental agencies requirements that might need to be addressed in the renovation project for each building. We decided to set up meetings with the City and the County to try to ascertain what some of their requirements might be. In so doing, the architectural firm can hopefully incorporate that information into the cost estimates they provide to us. We are planning on having those meetings prior to actually signing a contract with the architectural firm. As of the date of this writing, those meetings are not yet scheduled. We will meet again as soon as we have information from those meetings. CONTRIBUTION FUND OPTIONS If you would like to make a contribution to a specific fund, please see the list below. Your contributions to any of these funds would be greatly appreciated.
