Candle LightingRJC BULLETIN
Dear Members,
I hope this letter finds you well.
It is with bittersweet emotion that I share the news that I have accepted a position as Executive Director
of the Manhattan Jewish Experience and will be, consequently, stepping down as Executive Director of the
RJC in order to pursue this opportunity.
When I first started in this role 2 years ago, the RJC was entering one of the most challenging times in its
history. At the time, my goal was to bring my skills and training as a social worker and community
organizer to support the shul and its membership, maintain our robust services and programs and to
partner with the lay leadership to help the shul endure and persevere during this difficult time. Now, 2
years later, the shul is on stronger footing, with a clear path toward stability and with a search process
underway for new rabbinic leadership. Though there is still work to be done, I am confident that the shul
is headed in the right direction, and that the next executive director will be in a good position to partner
with the shul leadership to continue down that path. To that end, I have already begun working with the
Executive Board to find a successor who will be well-suited to take on this role.
As of July 17th, I will be reducing my hours to a part-time schedule through the end of August; during this
time, I will work with the staff and the Executive Board to create as smooth a transition as possible, and I
will be accessible at [email protected].
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to serve this community. I am particularly grateful to all the
committee volunteers, the Board, the Executive Board and professional staff with whom I have partnered
over the course of my time here; your tremendous work continues to make RJC a vibrant, thriving and
exciting place to be. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve this community and I hope we will
continue to cross paths in the future.
Thank you,
Hezzy

Dirshu: Everyday Halacha Every Day
Join us at our 9PM class Sunday to Thursday. Men and women are welcome to join any time. If you cannot make it in-person email [email protected] to receive the MP3 of the class. Please put Dirshu in the subject line. To sign up for daily summaries http://bit.ly/dirshuRJC. FAQ: What is Dirshu? Literally it means to seek. Dirshu is an organization that encourages learning of the Chafetz Chayim’s halacha work Mishna Breruah. One page a day Sunday to Thursday and review on Friday and Shabbat. The word has come to mean the actual study not just the organization as income to (or listen to or download) the Dirshu shiur. Or you may hear people ask: are you doing Dirshu? Any questions: Rab-bi Genack and Rabbi Hoberman look forward to talking to you.
Our Sages (Chazal) teach us that one who studies law (Halachos) daily is assured a portion in the world to come (Olam Haba). Talmud Niddah 73A
Shabbat Hashkamah Shiur
During the Summer schedule (please see the front page for details), the Hashkama Shiur will not meet at 10:30. Please stay tuned for updates regarding the summer schedule for the Hashkama Shiur.
