------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAI LIFELINE SHABBATON

After a one year hiatus, the Edison/Highland Park community will once again be welcoming approximately thirty boys between the ages of 7 and 15 along with staff from Chai Lifeline for a

weekend retreat this Shabbat, October 18-19. During the Shabbaton, community boys become “buddies” to the Chai Lifeline kids. It will include an inspirational community-wide Seudah Shlishit at Ohr Torah. This Shabbaton has been recognized twice internationally as one of the best Shabbatons of the year. It provides the opportunity for kids in a very difficult situation to forget their troubles for a weekend and enjoy themselves with old friends and new “buddies.” It also provides their families with much-needed respite. In past years, the Shabbaton was subsidized by a small number of individuals. Unfortunately, they no longer have access to those funds, and must reach out to the community at large. We need to raise another $7,000 to cover the Shabbaton. Please sponsor or contribute today (all contributions will be displayed on the recognition card): $1,000 Sponsor Shabbat lunch $ 500 Sponsor Seudah Shlishit $ 360 Sponsor a child for the weekend $ 180 Contributor Checks should be made out to “Chai Lifeline” and mailed to David Waizer, 53 North 7th Avenue, Highland Park, NJ 08904. Teens from Highland Park/Edison who would like to volunteer should contact Barbara Edery at [email protected] This event qualifies for Chesed hours and letters can be provided upon request. _________________________________________

CHAI LIFELINE TOY DRIVE Chai Lifeline is having its annual toy drive, in time for Chanukah. Please drop off toys at RPRY and Yeshiva Shaarei Tzion from 10/23 – 11/20. All toys must be NEW.

_________________________________________

Dear YIEB Community, We wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the MANY Adult Education classes that are currently being offered at YIEB. Taking the time to study Torah during the week can really help infuse meaning & spirituality into the daily routine. Also, it allows you to connect with others and of course, all YIEB classes are free of charge! Each class is open to participants of varied learning backgrounds and allows you the opportunity to just “jump in” even if you have not attended previously. So, take a look at the list below and find a class to join! Additionally, please remember that our YIEB Beit Medrash is stocked with an array of Seforim that might be of interest to you. If you have any questions or suggestions or if you’re looking for a one on one charvusa, please feel free to contact either of us.

Best wishes to a year filled with Talmud Torah! Claire Kagel ([email protected]) Rabbi Weinstein ([email protected])
