Sacks Elul Program—Save The Date

On Shabbos September 9th, B’nai Torah will be hosting

the annual Sarah and Sol Sacks Memorial Elul Program.

Dr. David Sanders will be the featured speaker. The

topics of discussion are: ‘Torah, the Jewish Tradition,

and Science—Can they be reconciled?’, and ‘Should Jews

seek elected political office?’ See pg. 4 for further

information.

Sarah and Sol Sacks valued learning, especially since

their own education was interrupted by the Holocaust!

Their son Marvin noted that they would be especially

proud to host such a tremendous educational opportunity

as the month long Elul program.

A Clean Slate

We all look forward to having a clean slate when we ask

G-d for forgiveness during the High Holiday Season.

Please wipe your slate clean, and pay off your

outstanding balances owed to the shul.

High Holiday Seats

As we approach Chodesh Elul, it is time to turn our

minds toward preparing for the High Holidays. Contact

the office to reserve your seats for the High Holidays.
