Around the Shabbat Table Campaign
Elevating the People and the World Around You!
The Shabbat meal is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our families, community and connection to G-d. The Around the Shabbat Table Campaign encourages each family to include three elements at their meal:
1. Share a Torah Insight 2. Sing a Jewish Song 3. Refrain from Gossip-Celebrate Positive Speech
Suggested Torah topic for your Shabbat table:
Unlike almost every other human endeavor, the laws regulating the practice of welcoming guests are not standardized in Judaism. No guidelines or limitations are presented. Why?
Shabbat Shalom Hospital Packages are sponsored by: The Linda Beson Nursing Education Fund. If you have a box of siddurim, that we use in houses of shiva, please return it to CAS.
Esti's Kosher Catering is now under the supervision of the Vaad of Fairfield County. Visit www.estikoshercatering.com or call Esti Stengel at 914-602-2951.
RIDDLES ARE BACK!
This weeks' riddle: There are three people in the Book of Bereishit whose names were changed. Who were they? Last weeks' riddle: Hashem told Avraham "lech l'cho" - go for yourself (for your benefit). Where in the Torah do we find that a similar seemingly extra word "l'cho" is expounded to mean "not for yourself," but rather "if you so desire"?
Last week's riddle: What do the following have in common? Adam, Shem, Yisrael/Yaakov, Yosef, Yehuda, Asher, Aharon and Eli?
Answer: Shelach Lecha regarding the spies Submitted by Mr. S Please note: The deadline for submissions for the Shabbat Bulletin is 12:00 noon on Wednesday. Items received after 12:00 noon on Wednesday will not be included. GUEST SPEAKER DAN MARANS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ZOMET INSTITUTE
