RABBI’S CORNER

Shabbat, Parshat Bamidbar

Dear Young Israel Families,

Every Shabbat, while we Daven in Shul, we are

blessed to have a youth staff that not only ensures

our children are kept safe, but also make their

time in Shul fun and meaningful. Perhaps most

importantly, these middle & high school students

serve as role models for our children. This Shabbat,

we take the opportunity to say Todah Rabbah for

their year(s) of service. Instead of sleeping in or

taking it easy on Shabbat (and occasionally on

Sunday), our youth staff are committed to ensuring

our youth program is a success. This Shabbat,

following Adon Olam, there will be a special

presentation to the youth staff followed by a

Kiddush in their honor. While this is on behalf of

the entire Shul, please extend yourself to

personally thank your child’s group leader.

Unfortunately, I will not be at YIEB this Shabbat, so

I want to take this opportunity to express my

gratitude to each member of our youth staff for

their service to our Shul, community and children.

Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Jay Weinstein

MESSAGE FROM THE NORPAC MISSION

LEADERSHIP

The NORPAC leadership wants you to know that

we have already seen tangible results from the

recent mission. Your participation matters! Here is

a summary of the exciting developments:

1. The Hezbollah International Financial Prevention

Act had 24 cosponsors prior to the NORPAC

Mission. Now there are over 100 cosponsors for

the House bill.

2. Sen. Marco Rubio (R- Fla.) agreed to co-

introduce similar Hezbollah legislation in the

Senate.

3. On the Mission day we added a 60th Senate

cosponsor (John Walsh D-MT) onto the Menendez-

Kirk Iran Sanctions Bill- a Herculean feat given the

President's pressure to delay that bill.

4. Rep. Alan Grayson (D- Fla.) prepared legislation

to cut off funding for higher education institutions

which support BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions)

of Israel.

___________________________________________

WISE SHAVUOT LEARNING

There will be a women's learning group for Shavuot

from midnight to 2 AM. This year's topic will be

The Year in Chagim, a study of the different

holidays throughout the year. If you would like to

be a presenter, please contact Claire Kagel

732.613.9511.

___________________________________________ MAXIMIZE YOUR SIMCHA!

After the Simcha is over, there is usually a good

amount of leftover food. We are happy to

distribute that food to families who could benefit

from it. What a beautiful way to end your Simcha

by performing this Mitzvah. Please contact Barbara

Goldman at bgoldman@aol.com in order to make

these arrangements. Thank you!!!

Jews fought and died side-by-side with their non-

Jews to be buried in separate cemeteries. Can a Jew

be buried in a national cemetery?
