Suggested Torah topic for your Shabbat table: 
The Talmud relates that G-d wanted to make King Hezekiah the messiah but refrained because he did not "sing" after the miracles that G-d had done for him.  What is so important about singing?  What personality qualities impel or hinder someone from singing?  Have you ever experienced a spiritual dimension to singing?

Youth Programs on Yom Kippur
 
We at Agudath Sholom want our parents and children to enjoy a meaningful holiday season.
 
Arrangements have been made for babysitting and youth groups for our children.  We will provide snacks and lunch each day.
 
All sessions will be conducted by responsible young men and women.  Babysitting will take place in the youth room, next to the Lotstein Library.  Age 3 through 1st grade will take place in the Lotstein Library.  Jr. Congregation will take place in the sukkah.
 
The groups are as follows:
Babysitting (up to age 3)
3-Grade 1
Grades 2 - 6, Junior Congregation
The schedule is the same for all groups:
Yom Kippur - Monday, September 28, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
 
Please note for babysitting: Children must be dropped off and picked up by a parent or older sibling.  No child will be permitted to leave the room or area unescorted.
 
Eating on Yom Kippur?
Just as there is a mitzvah for healthy people to fast, there is a mitzvah for some sick people to eat. If, according to Jewish law, and with the approval of your doctor and rabbi, you are obligated to eat, you can take advantage of the privacy of our Bride's Room, located on the upper level near the elevator. Juice and crackers are provided. Consult the Rabbi for more information.
