Congregation Shomre Shabbos would like to announce exciting new changes and learning opportunities for Shabbos morning.

We have two minyanim:

1. Our Hashkama Minyan at 8:00 in our downstairs Bais HaMedrash and,

2. A 9:00 Minyan in the  upstairs shul. We happily announce that we  have created more seating at the Hashkama minyan to solve a space issue in the past.

Each minyan has a chumash shiur. The Hashkama Minyan shiur is given by Rabbi Reuven Gerson after davening and Kiddush. The shiur starts at approximately 10:15

Rabbi Yitzchok Margareten gives his chumash shiur prior to the 9:00 minyan. That shiur begins at 8:25 a.m.

If you so desire,come learn with a chavrusa before the 9:00 minyan upstairs or after the Hashkama minyan in the Bais HaMedrash

Each minyan has a short Dvar Torah delivered each week before laining. Our Morah D’Asrah, Harav Yisroel Grumer, Shlita, speaks before Musaf each Shabbos Mevorchim at the 9:00 Minyan and the week before Shabbos Mevorchin at the Hashkama Minyan

We look forward to welcoming you as you join us for whichever schedule works best for you.

There will once again be a Vasikin Minyan for both days Rosh Hashanah in Cleveland Heights. To reserve a seat or for more information please call Eli Graiser (216) 973-7833.

As a service to the likely many elderly and sick who are not able to leave their homes to hear shofar on Rosh Hashana, we had an idea that we would create a list of those who would be willing to blow shofar for these people in the community.

Once we have received some volunteers we would then share these names with the public on LJN and then they could be contacted and arrangements be made to facilitate these home visits. Ideally one should contact their shul first, so this service would be most focused on those who are not affiliated or the shul cannot accommodate.

I never live up to my New Year’s resolutions. So this Rosh Hashanah, why bother trying? By  Rebbetzin Feige Twerski.

Dear Rebbetzin Twerski,

Every year Rosh Hashanah comes around and I commit to changing something, and by the year’s end, I see I’m the same person. It’s hard to take myself seriously anymore and muster up the commitment to try to change again this year. How can I really make this year different?
