TheInspirationalStoryofNoamApter:

Heroism,ANaturalExtensionofNoam’sLife

Noam Apter who was 22 years of age had completed his IDF service, worked with severely disabled youth and shared basic Judaism with many people. Then, in 2002 while on Shabbat kitchen duty Yeshivat Otniel in Jerusalem, Noam was helping prepare Shabbat dinner for the 100 students in the dining room next door. Suddenly, without warning, two heavily armed Islamic terrorists inAiltrated the building and began Airing. In an incredible moment of resourcefulness, Noam locked the door between the kitchen and the dining room. Noam’s actions helped avert a great bloodshed but tragically, he and three other students were murdered.

During the Friday night presentation, there will be a concurrent youth program for children ages 5 and older. Babysitting will also be available during the presentation for children under 5 years old.

This will be a particularly special and meaningful weekend for Rabbi Ari Dembitzer because he and Noam were cousins and grew up together. He encourages the entire community to attend the events. “In hearing the Apters’ stories, you will learn about Noam’s amazing spirit and how it continues to inspire so many today. The messages that will be shared will be very impactful and you will be glad you attended.”

Reservations for Friday night have been closed. No reservations required for Saturday night presentation.

Please contact Dani Shrago to help with setup

for the Friday night dinner. Thank you Ben Shapiro for arranging the food for the dinner.

Our synagogue’s membership includes many children. Children

are welcome in the sanctuary for services as we trust that parents

will be considerate of others. If children are not in the babysitting

program, they must be under the direct supervision of an adult.

In case of emergency…

We hope this information won’t be needed, but it is certainly better to be prepared. Please take note of the two emergency exits located on either side of the bimah. In addition to these exits, there is an outside exit in the social hall and at the end of the hallway leading to the bathrooms. If an evacuation is necessary, do not congregate in the parking lot or front of the building to allow for emergency vehicles. Please proceed calmly to the playground, and assist those who may need help. Those in the Children’s Room have instructions to meet parents at the playground. In case of a tornado, the safest places to be are the bottom of the basement stairwell or in the basement away from windows.
