Reader Tip- Shemos in PJ Library Books
There are a number of people in the community who subscribe to the PJ Library program and receive books each month. Recently, we received a book about Sammy the Spider and Simchas Torah. Unfortunately, one of the drawings shows people in shul with an open Torah scroll, and Hashem’s name is clearly written there in Hebrew.

Letter to the Community: SEGULA Concert – Concert Is Not Just About the Performer
As someone who has put a lot of effort and years into making sure Segula is successful, it pains me to hear all the comments about why they are not attending the concert this Sunday. While I understand that it is impossible to please everyone in the community, Segula tries hard to bring in performers that will bring in a crowd and entertain appropriately. Every year, I hear criticism on who Segula should have brought in. Segula is not about concerts and performers.
