Shomrei Torah Yom Kippur—Yizkor
10 Tishrei, 5778/ September 29-30, 2017
PACHIM KETANIM FROM RABBI YUDIN: In Honor of Yom Kippur The main part of Selichos - that we recite throughout Yom Kippur including and especially at Neilah, is the 13 Middos - Attributes of Mercy, that we not only recite but charge ourselves to aspire to lead our lives by. One of the Middos is emes - truth. Is this not din - judgement as He knows the truth and judges accordingly, how is this rachamim? I saw an answer, humorous at first but very serious upon reflection. Too many people consid-er themselves righteous, be it in comparison to others or they just feel accomplished. The Talmud Yevamos (111a) teaches that Hashem is especially careful and scrutinizes and judges the Tzaddikim in a most exact and demanding way, which often could end in a most serious judgement. However, G-d in His mercy, knows better, and does not judge them as the righteous individuals they believe they are. Wow!

KOL NIDRE AND YOM KIPPUR APPEAL As we count down the hours until Yom Kippur, our thoughts may drift to Unesaneh Tokef and the three es-sential acts that merit a good year: Teshuvah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah. On Yom Kippur, Shomrei Torah will provide you with a place for heartfelt Teshuvah and inspiring Tefillah. In these moments before Yom Kippur, please allow Shomrei Torah to help you fulfill the act of Tzedakah. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Please show your support at www.shomrei-torah.org/ykappeal.

NURSERY SCHOOL NEWS In honor of Yom Kippur, the Early Learners are talking about sharing and taking turns with their friends and classmates. They had great fun playing a matching game, matching shapes that "like to be together." The children made their own shofarot and compared the different ways that they look, including wavy, curly, straight, long and short. They also dipped their hands in paint and chose a friend to share their handprints with. The Young Ex-plorers talked about the different things we do on Yom Kippur such as go-ing to shul, hearing the shofar and wearing white clothing. They also learned that on Yom Kippur we don't wear leather shoes and adults don't eat or drink. They enjoyed learning about Yonah and the whale and the ideas of teshuva , second chances and saying I'm sorry. They focused on the mitzvah of tzedakah and helping other people the way that Hashem helps us. They also decorated beautiful white tzedakah boxes. Shabbat Shalom and Gmar Chatima Tova!
