In this week's update:
Upcoming worship services
Yavneh programs
The Mitzvot Study Group meets Wednesday, November 19, 7:30 - 9:00 pm. In Midrash Tehillim it says "on the day a guest arrives, a calf is slaughtered in his honor; the next day, a sheep, the third day, a fowl, and on the fourth day, he is served beans". This month we'll discuss what the Torah has to say about the mitzvot of hospitality.
The next Dinner with the Rabbi is scheduled for Sunday, November 23, 6:30 - 8:30 pm. We will be gathering someplace new this month - Sushi Thai, in the Lake Boone Shopping Center. RSVP by November 21 to Reb Raachel.
Mark your calendar now for Yavneh's combination family potluck Shabbat dinner, Hanukkah celebration, and Jewish trivia contest. Prizes and games for adults and children! Friday night, Dec 19th, 6:30 pm.
