Weekly Brief

Yom kippur selichot—DEADLINE EXTENDED!
We are so appreciative of the response to the Yom Kippur Selichot publication to date.  As mentioned at the outset, we are most interested in having as broad-based participation from our membership as possible as we launch into the Yamim Noraim season beginning this Shabbat Mevorchim Elul.  For those who have yet to contribute, please consider joining us.  You can do so on the shul website or by accessing this link https://www.rinat.org/form/selichot-sponsors.html .  There is a deadline of this Sunday, August 5th so we can meet the printing schedule. The names of all contributors will be listed. Categories include:
 
היום תאמצנו ($18)
היום תברכנו ($36)
היום תגדלנו ($72)
היום תדרשנו לטובה ($100)
היום תתמכנו בימין צדקתך ($180)
 
Note that if every member contributed $36, the project could be fully financed. Please contact gabbai@rinat.org if you are interested in a specific dedication.
 
Many thanks for your consideration and positive response.

Parking Courtesy to Rinat's Neighbors
We value our good relationship with our neighbors. Therefore, it is disturbing that some have reported that their driveways have been blocked by cars belonging to people davening and attending events at our shul. We have advised our neighbors that we will cooperate to have violators reported, ticketed and/or towed. Please ensure that both members and visitors treat our neighbors as you would like to be treated.
