Kiddush this Shabbat is being sponsored by the following people, in honour of the Posner family upcoming Aliyah, and Ayin L’Tzion’s 10th anniversary:

Congregation Ayin L’Tzion welcomes the entire community to a Goodbye Kiddush to wish the Posner family “Tzeitzchem B’shalom” on their upcoming Aliyah.
Ayin L’Tzion marked its 10 year anniversary this past Shavuot; it is appropriate that we celebrate the growth and success of our shul as we recognize all of Aaron and Gilda’s contributions, as they have been so integral to its founding and development.  Aaron and Gilda have left their mark on every aspect of our congregation, from bringing Rabbi Rosenberg to our shul to organizing chesed meals for new moms to washing dishes after Shabbos; the list goes on and on.  Aaron was an original Co-Founder of the shul, and has served as the President for the past 2 years.

From the Youth Committee:

Dear Parents,

Wow! What an amazing Shabbat last week at our Youth Shabbat!

I know I was very proud hearing all the kids sing Adon Olam, here the beautiful tefilla and great dvar torah and gabbaim & you should be too!

The kids were beaming as they received their awards & you, the parents, should be very proud of what the kids have accomplished in a few short months!

Thank you to all the parents who encouraged their kids to make thank you cards for their youth leaders. If your child has yet to do so, feel free to have them do so over the next few weeks, the leaders really appreciated them! The leaders (as well as myself) have come to love the kids & the kids have grown love them as well!

Thank you to The Rabbi, The board, gabbaim & of course Jacob Krygier for all their work & the many hours they put in to make Shabbat was a success.

Looking forward to having all the kids continue to join us in groups over the summer months!

Shabbat Shalom,
Dina Bahar - Youth Director

P.S. If you were not in shul last Shabbat & your child didn't receive their certificate, please find me on Shabbat to retrieve it.
