Shalom! This month, synagogue life at ENJC is waking up from its summer slumber. If you have been active this summer, I thank you for your help in making minyanim. Your support is truly appreciated by the shul leadership as well as the families who needed to say Kaddish. If you have been away, I look forward to reconnecting with you at one or more of our scheduled events.
Right after Labor Day, we have 2 B'nei Mitzvah on the schedule: Kevin Siegall on the 10th and Jack Maldavir on the 17th. We are extremely proud of these young men, and I am looking forward to celebrating with their families.
The week of the 11th, Religious School will be opening and our Youth Groups will be kicking off their programming. On the 16th, we will be having a Membership Open House. Come to Shabbat Evening Services and meet potential new members. On the 18th, the Men's Club will once again be sponsoring their anual Family Fun Day, including a cookout, games and opportunities to visit with fellow congregants. Finally, as we approach the end of the month, the High Holiday season commences with a Selichot program on the evening of the 24th. The following week, there will be several volunteer opportunities, as Men's Club and Sisterhood organize chair setup for High Holiday services and the Fundraising committee assembles Honey Baskets. (Don't forget to buy one for your friends!)
Look for details for all of these programs in the Bulletin and our Weekly Update. I'll see you in shul!
