If you have ever felt lost during synagogue prayer services and you want to learn the "what's, how's and why's" of various parts of the Shabbat morning service, come to our monthly Learners' Minyan.  In addition to learning the prayers themselves, you will also learn the choreography of the service.  In no time, you'll learn when and why to stand, sit, put your feet together, put your hands over your eves and bend your knees while davening.

Teacher:  Rebbitzman Adi Wyner

Date:  Second Shabbat of every month

Time:  10:00 am

Beginning in September, 2008 a certified kosher mashgiach must be present whenever anyone prepares food in the synagogue kitchen.  Each mashgiach will also be invested with authority to check and approve all food that comes into the synagogue building.  In order to involve all congregants in the kashrut supervision of our kitchen, Rabbi Malik will train a cadre of lay leader mashgichim ("kashrut supervisors").  Each mashgiach ("kashrut supervisor") who is certified by Rabbi Malik will have the authority and responsibility of supervising all cooking that is done in the synagogue by congregants and by outside caterers.

The Kosher Kitchen Supervision Mashgiach Training Workshop will focus on the synagogue's kashrut standards and the implications that these standards have for food shopping, checking food deliveries and cooking meals in the synagogue kitchen.  In this workshop, the rabbi will also review policies concerning reheating food on Shabbat for use on Shabbat.

During daylight savings time we have the opportunity to partake of "Beer and a Shmear" (also known as Shalosh Seudot) between Mincha and Maariv each Shabbat.  During this time, Rabbi Malik or Rebbitzman Adi Wyner will lead us in a study of various topics relating to daily religious practices and holiday and Shabbat observances.  Check the interactive calendar for times, which vary with Mincha each Shabbat.
