| | | | | Taking the Learning Pledge Our adult ed classes are almost underway. Consider joining one this season. Yasher Koach to everyone who made a learning pledge on Sinchat Torah morning. It is not too late to take your own. The rewards are priceless! One of the most accessible ways to study on a regular basis is the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (Concise Code of Jewish Law). A few people in our shul have started this yearly cycle. We will be launching a pre Shabbat mincha shiur this week. It is also and easy five minute study at home or office. Visit the site below and I have also added a link to purchase your own. Take the plunge! For other ideas and guidance, please be in touch! kitzur365.org and for 5 volume set, artscroll.com Wishing you a year of Torah Learning, Rabbi Daniel Cohen
SIMCHAT TORAH LUNCHEON UPDATE Thank you to Kosh for catering the Simchat Torah Luncheon. We understand there was a shortage of food and apologize for the inconvenience.

In appreciation of our support, KOSH is graciously offering all Simchat Torah donors a coupon for one appetizer per donor family when dining at the restaurant. Coupons are available in the shul office. Thank you for your understanding and may we share many more joyous holidays together.
