| A Request from
Rabbi Warmflash
Please
keep me informed of significant events in your family.
It is my desire to be of help and service to you in times
of special need.

Don't Discard
Hakol
The most
recent issue of Hakol contained Hanukkah blessings which
inadvertently included the sacred four letter name of
God. Accordingly to tradition, this name cannot be discarded
but must be buried properly. When you are finished with
Hakol, we would appreciate it if you would return either
the entire issue or the page with the Hanukkah blessings
to the synagogue office. Thank you for your cooperation.
