Hachnasas Sefer Torah/Siyum Pictures

I have uploaded the pictures from the Hachnasas Sefer Torah/Siyum. You can see them at http://www.adoramapix.com/torah/

If you took pictures please get them to me (on a CD not e-mail unless there are only one or two pictures) so that I can upload them for everyone to see.

Also, as announced at the siyum, we are going to attempt to complete Shas again (in time for next year's melava malka). If you would like to sign up to learn please let me know.

Membership Dues & Seats for Yom Tov and the Year

As we prepare to begin the new year we would like take this opportunity to wish all of our members and friends a Keteva VaChateema Tovah and a happy and healthy new year. We would also like to remind you, that this is the time of year that we collect membership dues and ask you to pay for your seats for the year and for the Yommim Noraim.

Annual Family Membership/Seats (includes 2 adult seats) is $500, additional adult seats are $150 each, and seats for children (living at home) over bar/bat mitzvah age are $25 each. For those of you who do not daven with us on a "regular" basis we also have a Chaver membership (at $100 and does not include any seats) so that you too can express you appreciation to the Rov & help us cover our expenses.

As our shul has B”H grown and many of our mispallelim have guests coming for Yom Tov, please let us know if you do not plan on using your seats.

You can make your reservations via the internet by sending me an e-mail at jfaska@yahoo.com and the seating committee will be available the first night of Slichos from 10:00 PM to Midnight in the shul.

Please note: payment arrangements MUST be made by Motzai Shabbos September 8th. After that date, we will make your seats available, as needed, to others.

Please do not wait for Slichos (12:30) to come and make your arrangements, because we too need to prepare for the Yom Hadin and ask for rachamim.

Thank You

The Committee

Tehillim group

We would like to start a Tehillim group. The concept is that we break down the whole Tehillim into 28 sections where each section contains on average 6 psalms. We firmly believe that there are a multitude of people that would like to join in this effort allowing us collectively to finish the Sefer Tehillim a few times on a daily basis. The initial goal is to have it said in the morning, afternoon and evening. With the onset of wireless devices these days you can gain access to Tehillim via www.idaven.com and we will be able if requested to send automated daily reminders. A dedicated email address at qtehillim@gmail.com has been set up for this project. If you can take part in this initiative please reply to the email address listed above as to how many sections you would like to say and at what times. The morning tehillim will need to be said by 10 where the afternoon tehillim will need to be said no later than 15 minutes before sunset and the evening by 10. We will then let you know what sections and times you have signed up for. This project is being undertaken in the zechus of a speedy refuah shleima for Mindel Adina bas Yenta Yita Yehudis.

Sincerely,

Mikey Biderman & Shmuel Kazarnovsky

Tefillas Ha'Sheloh - Tomorrow - Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan (Thursday, May 17)

Click this link (http://www.tefillos.com/tefillas_hasheloh.asp for Tefillas Ha'Sheloh on-line.

This special prayer was composed by the Shloh Hakodosh to express the prayers of parents on behalf of their children. The Shloh said that the optimal time for parents to recite this prayer is Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan (this year it's on Thursday, May 17), but it may be recited anytime.

Iyar Hachodesh Available

The Iyar Hachodesh is available on our web site http://www.geocities.com/ohelyitzchok/ It's also on the yahoo groups site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OhelYitzchok/files/iyar.pdf" (Yahoo Groups requires that you set up an id and password)

Instant Coffee No Longer an Automatic for Passover

New York... There was a time when you could buy unflavored and caffeinated coffee for Passover without worrying about a special kosher designation for the holiday.

But according to Rabbi Shmuel Singer of the Orthodox Union, that is no longer true. "Our position in former years in regard to coffee had been similar to tea," wrote Rabbi Singer. "We maintained that all regular coffee, that is unflavored and not decaffeinated, is acceptable for Pesach without supervision. This is no longer true. Some coffee companies add maltodextrin, which is either chametz or kitniyos, to instant coffee. As a result this coffee is not kosher for Passover. Only coffee bearing an OU-P symbol or brands listed in the gray area of the Passover Directory should be used. Both Folger's and Taster's Choice instant coffee remain acceptable. Other brands should be checked in the (OU Passover) Directory. Ground coffee remains acceptable from any source as long as it is unflavored and not decaffeinated." As a result, people who may have regular instant coffee, that is unflavored and not decaffeinated, from last year that is another brand besides Folger's or Taster's Choice, should not use it for Pesach.

Shul Projects Update

Dear Members and Mispallelim:

Thank you for coming out in such great numbers to our 25th anniversary Melava Malka in honor our Rav and Rebbetzin and for helping to make the evening a great success and Kiddush Hashem.

We are writing to follow up and seek your participation in the two exciting projects that were announced at the Melava Malka. In a unique and warm display of appreciation for our beloved Rav and Rebbetzin, who have given so much to our Kehilla over the past quarter century, our Mispallelim have launched a joint effort for a Ksivas Sefer Torah for the Rav and a Siyum Hashas project. IY"H, we hope to have the Hachnosas Sefer Torah and Siyum prior to next Rosh Hashanah (Sept. 2007).

Read More
The following is an update with pertinent contact information and project details:

1. Ksivas Sefer Torah:

B"H, the initial response has been overwhelming and many Parshiyos have already been pledged. A Sofer has been retained and the writing has begun.

At this time, a select number of Parshas ($1,000) and Special Parshas ($500) remain open. There are also dedication opportunities available for Perakim ($180), Pesukim ($100), Words ($36) and Letters ($18).

For further information, please contact Shragie Aranoff (516-817-2760 or shragie@att.net) or Shmuel Kazarnovsky (917-468-0944 or skaz@renltc.com).

Check may be made payable to the Shul ("Cong. Ohel Yitzchok") and left with the Rav or the Gabbaim. Please note on the check "Sefer Torah Project."

2. Siyum Hashas:

We are planning to complete the entire Talmud Bavli and, IY"H, make a Siyum Hashas concurrent with the Hachnosas Sefer Torah. For convenience sake, we are dividing Shas by Artscroll's 73 volumes, each containing approximately 40 blatt. This works out to learning just over one Blatt per week, hopefully not too arduous a commitment. To see which volumes have already been reserved go to http://mysite.verizon.net/jfaska/shul/siyum.pdf

For further information or to reserve a volume/mesechta, please contact Joey Faska (718-261-7391 or jfaska@yahoo.com) or Ephraim Berger (718-263-2138 or ephberger@aol.com).

We hope you will join our Kehilla in both of these ambitious projects, and we welcome your input and suggestions.
