Message from The President

We join together with the rest of Klal Yisroel, in horror, at the murder of Rabbi Yaakov and Netanel Litman. Every time we think that the news has to get better, we are thrown into shock, as a seemingly endless barrage of attacks continue on our families in Israel. What can we say upon hearing of a father and son that are killed, days before they were to celebrate the wedding of their daughter and sister. We wish nechama to the family, and continue to daven that these attacks should end. On the heels of that tragedy, we were following the barbaric attacks that took place in France. Innocent people, going about a variety of activities, were attacked at random. The victims, regardless of their nationality and religion, unite us with the rest of the world, against the perpetrators of these attacks. These are extremely difficult times. As a shul, I'd like you to know that there are organizations that are monitoring information regarding specific plans of attack, and they pass those warnings on to us. There have been no specific mention of any plans, but...... Please be aware of people coming into the shul, who seem like they don't belong. We are taking steps to lock the building during the week after shacharis, and to unlock the doors before Mincha. Access will still be available through the back doors, which have a combination lock on them. Please see me for the code. We ask everyone to do their share, as we should all be vigilant during these times. We would like to welcome all the participants that are here for the Bais Yaakov convention, taking place this Shabbos. It's refreshing and heartening to see so many schools and participants joining together. It's their achdus, their togetherness, which will help to combat the terror and the attacks that are taking place. Have a great Shabbos, Chaim

BIG BROTHER PROGRAM CHANUKAH APPEAL

Five years ago, Shomrei Emunah began a partnership with Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef in Yishuv Eli, our sister community in the Shomron, in a most meaningful Big Brother Program. This program began when the two sons of Roi Klein HY”D and one son of Eliraz Peretz HY”D, entered first grade. This successful program has since expanded into underwriting the Torah education of many children of fathers serving in the IDF, either as career officers or as those fulfilling their compulsory service.

The parental role of learning with their children and reviewing their school work often went unfulfilled. However, with the success of the Big Brother Program, this void has been filled; and the impacted families were given piece of mind.

Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef is a learning center for 280 boys, ages 6 to 14. The “big brothers” are Bnei David Yeshiva students.

Each year, we have committed to continue supporting this wonderful program. Contributions can be made to the Shomrei Emunah Israel Fund, earmarked Big Brother Program. Thank you!

Rabbi Binyamin Marwick Binyomin Berger Mike Lowenstein

To the wonderful people of Shomrei Emunah!

I am looking out of my window at the mountain upon which 2,000 years ago Yehudah HaMaccabee defeated Apolonius the Greek. A few Jewish soldiers fighting a great Greek army! Today on these same mountain tops in the Binyamin region, 280 students are learning Torah. The fathers of 30 of our students are now serving in our Army, the IDF - a Jewish army. Some of them are protecting these same mountains, but from a different enemy. Their sons are learning Torah in your zechut. Please join us continuing the spirit of the Maccabees. Thank you. Chanukah Sameach! Eliana Passentin, Deputy Director, Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef
