LIFESAVERS NEEDED! PLEASE COME
TO OUR JUNE 22nd BLOOD DRIVE!
The Young Israel of East Brunswick, East Brunswick
Jewish Center, and Temple B‘Nai Shalom are co-
sponsoring a blood drive to be held on Sunday, June
22nd, 8 AM – 2 PM at YIEB. Blood supply levels run
dangerously low in many communities during the
summer months, so your donation is very much
needed. Scheduling an appointment is encouraged
(please visit http://tinyurl.com/yi08816 or call
800.933.2566.) Walk-ins are welcome!
Donors must be at least 16 years old and weigh a
minimum of 110 lbs. 16 year-olds require signed
parental permission. All donors please bring photo
ID and proof of age. Bring a friend or family
member with you to participate in this incredibly
important mitzvah and help us meet our goal of
collecting 100 units of blood!
“WHOEVER SAVES A LIFE, IT IS CONSIDERED AS IF
HE SAVED AN ENTIRE WORLD”
_____________________________________________
Dear YIEB Members,
As a reminder, the Religious committee meets
monthly to discuss religious issues relevant to our
Shul and congregation. If you have any suggestions,
comments or questions, please feel free to be in
touch with any members of the Religious committee.
We would like to take the opportunity to update you
on two relevant issues:
1. One integral part of our Tefilla is Mourner's
Kaddish. This Tefilla is a "Davar Shebikdusha" which
requires a Minyan to answer Amen and Yehay Shmay
Rabbah at the appropriate times. Therefore, it's
important that all those saying Kaddish recite
Kaddish in unison. In order to facilitate this, we will
be appointing a leader to say Kaddish loudly at a
medium/slow pace and ask all those saying Kaddish
keep in unison with the leader. During the week, the
leader will be the Shaliach Tzibbur and on Shabbat
the leader will stand at the Bima in the middle of the
Shul. We hope this new protocol will enhance the
way Mourners Kaddish is recited in ourSshul.
2. As summer comes around, we want to remind the
congregation of the following policy. In order to Daven
for the Amud or receive a Kibbud Aaliyah, etc.) one
must be wearing long pants (not shorts). Additionally,
one must either be wearing a sports jacket/suit jacket
or a Talit. The goal of this policy is to ensure that
those who are leading our community in Tefilla are
appropriately dressed to reflect the serious nature of
Davenning.
We thank you for your support as we continue to work
on our mission of improving the Religious activity at
YIEB.
