In the event that the shul still does not have power by Shabbat, we will still have davening, but we will run on a modified schedule in order to preserve sunlight in the shul while being able to daven at the appropriate time. Please note that if there is no power, the shul will be cold and will be dark in most places. Therefore, youth groups will be cancelled. If you intend to bring your children to shul, please make sure to keep them with you at all times. Also, please avoid the downed tree in the front. It will be taken care of in the coming days. The following will be the davening schedule: Friday mincha – 4:15 PM Candle lighting after plag mincha (4:45 PM) Shabbat Shacharit – 9:00 AM Shabbat Mincha – 4:25 PM We will go straight into ma’ariv after mincha Shabbat ends – 6:39 PM Please do not forget to set your clocks back 1 hour If the power is restored before Shabbat, we will be back on a normal davening schedule and youth groups will continue as normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
As we approach the end of Daylight Savings on November 4th, we recognize that many people will start to daven mincha early at their places of work, and will need a ma'ariv minyan in the early evening. We are looking to restart our ma'ariv minyan if we have the demand for it. Once again, we would like to have it at 7:50 PM, but to do so, we want to make sure that we will have the attendance to make it viable. If you think you will be able to attend, please send an e-mail to Ron Goldgewert at president@arzeidarom.org as to how many days per week you will likely attend at the specified time.
Youth Groups Youth Groups on Shabbat Morning under the leadership of our Youth Director, Ilan Davidovics youthdirector@arzeidarom.org. Youth groups for grades 1-5 will be ending after davening this Shabbat to allow the children to participate in Shoshi Blech's Bat Mitzvah. The Nursery, Pre K and Kindergarten group will continue to run until after the Bat Mitzvah. Please make sure to pick up your children Junior congregation starts at 9:45AM. There will be two age groups:
Nursery, Pre K and Kindergarten groups start at 9:45AM in the back right room of the social hall. This group has their own davening and snacks will be provided. At the end of shul it is required a parent picks up their child from this group. Sponsor the Youth Kiddush Recently we added into youth groups a Youth Kiddush. We are offering families an opportunity to sponsor the Youth kiddush for $30 to celebrate a child's birthday, recognition of achievements or in support of our youth groups. To schedule your week to sponsorship please email youth@arzeidarom.org. We thank the Rothstein Family for this week's sponsorship for Zephania & Daniel If your child(ren) do not wish to participate in youth groups, we request that they sit with you in shul. We are asking that children do not walk/run around shul, play by the stairs, in the corner alcoves or play unsupervised outside the building. While most children are quiet and respectful, their lack of participation detracts from the atmosphere the group leaders are trying to create. Please be advised that the Arzei Darom youth committee does not provide any supervision of children outside of the building outside of structured activities. We are very concerned about the safety of all of the children and ask that no children be permitted to stay outside on their own, climb on the trees or fence, or run into the street. We also ask that all parents remind their children to be respectful of the property and cars and not participate in any destructive behavior. The Youth Committee is looking to create a schedule of volunteers to help achieve the above goals. Email youth@arzeidarom.org to sign up. Thank you for your support. Bnei Akiva Bnei Akiva begins this week! Please click and "friend" Bnei Akiva's new facebook page to get schedule and other special goings on from Bnei Akiva Snif Chadash: http://www.facebook.com/BneiAkivaSnifChadash We ask that families who participate in Bnei Akiva consider an annual contribution of $50-100 to help defray the cost of running this program. For more information or to contribute, please contact Pam Scheininger at pscheininger@hotmail.com
We are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our connection to Torah. The more Torah in the shul, the better, so let us know if you have any other suggestions.
A number of Hebrew and English seforim are missing from our library. If you have any of them, please return them so that other members will have the ability to use them as well. If you are currently using one of the seforim, and need to continue to use it, please contact Rebecca Segal so that we can keep track of where our seforim are. Thank you.
Bikur Cholim Volunteers Arzei Darom is looking for bikur cholim volunteers to visit the patients at CareOne and Holy Name Medical Center on Shabbat. For those who have volunteered in the past, the visits are gratefully appreciated. Please volunteer and encourage your children to join you for this great mitzvah. Please e-mail Susan Taubes at bikurcholim@arzeidarom.org, so she can add your name to the rotation list and we can have an organized schedule each Shabbat. Care One at Teaneck is seeking Shabbos host families to provide hospitality for our patients' relatives. When illness or post surgery rehabilitation at our facility requires a patient’s stay over Shabbos, we often receive requests for accommodations for a spouse, adult child, friend, or other family member. We gladly provide on site RCBC supervised meals, a beautiful Shul and most other requirements. However, when our facility is full, we try to arrange nearby off-site accommodations for sleeping. As a token of our appreciation, we will gladly provide delicious Shabbos meals for the host family, as well. To pre-register as a Shabbos host, please contact Laurie Kleid at 201-287-8560.
Having a party? Need space for a simcha? Know someone who is? Arzei Darom's social is available for rent at reasonable prices. Please send an email to hallrental@arzeidarom.org for further information.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK the doorways or the walkway leading to the doors to the shul with your baby carriage. We understand that if it is raining or snowing you do not want your carriage to get wet, but this is a safety issue. The doorways MUST NOT BE BLOCKED AT ANY TIME. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Families interested in sponsoring a kiddush and/or seudat shlishit should contact Holly so that she can reserve the date on the shul calendar. Please also let Holly know if you would like to participate in an upcoming Crock Pot Challenge which generally takes place around Rosh Chodesh. We've been doing these for a year and are always seeking new families to take the challenge. Kiddush clean up is on a rotating basis, based on your last name. While we recognize that everyone in your group may not be available each Shabbat, we ask that you pitch in if you are assigned in that month so that the same people are not doing the clean-up each week. We all like kiddushes and we all make plans for lunch after shul so please be respectful of your fellow congregants by helping out during your assigned month if you are in shul. October: Katzwer, Kilimnick, Kirschner, Kleid, Kreitman For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.
Machzor Dedication Opportunity: As many of you already know, we have had a record number of reservations this year for the Yamim Noraim. Baruch Hashem, we will have over 240 people davening at Arzei Darom over Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Last year we found ourselves short on Machzorim. We have had the opportunity to procure 30 new sets of Machzorim which are now available for dedication at $55 per set. If you would like to dedicate a set of Machzorim in honor of or in memory of someone, please use the following link, fill out the form, and send to the shul with your payment and dedication information. http://www.arzeidarom.org/pdf/seforim.pdf .
