The following message was sent out to my Shul email list, and I felt it important enough to post here. If you are from Bet Shemesh/RBS, this applies to you...Please consider joining if you are able to.

In response to the Rav's urging that we take meaningful, definitive action to help the Jews living in Bet HaShalom, we are organizing a special

תפילת יום כפור קטן

at Bet HaShalom

this Thursday

(Erev Rosh Chodesh Kislev).

· A bus will leave the Shul at 2:45 PM and return by 6:00 PM, אי"ה*.

· Men, women, and children are invited.

· 40 NIS per person, payable on the bus. All profits will be given to the cause.

· Bring a Siddur that has the Yom Kippur Kattan tefillos.

This action is a synthesis of the concepts of expressing solidarity with the residents, protest against the planned iniquity, and, of course, a fervent plea to the Supreme Maker of decisions.

This opportunity is open to everyone.

Please spread the word.

Reservations are a MUST to Tzvi Gherman at tgherman@outsidecounsel.net or 991-0210. Unreserved seats will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

* Due to time restrictions, there are no armored busses available. The Rav has approved this. The bus will pick up at Netzach Menashe at 2:35, so tell your friends in Bet Shemesh, too.
