For repairs, timing can be everything – For example, please tell us about sefer holders on back of the pews that are beginning to fall apart before the bottom falls out. It requires at least three times as long to reinstall the bottom once it falls out compared with a holder whose bottom is only loose. We have volunteers who help YISE with repairs to the building and its contents. As soon as you notice something, notify Alan in the office, 301-593-4465 or office@yise.org.
Reminder – Listings in the Shabbos Shorts are included as space is available, at the discretion of the YISE Staff. There are no guarantees that any non-Shul programs will appear. Items submitted to the Shabbos Shorts may be edited for space or stylistic requirements.
A Weatherproof (brand) dark green winter parka with hood, X-Large, with distinctive orange pull strings for the hood and waist, was mistakenly taken from the sanctuary lobby two weeks ago (Shabbos after Mincha). A similar Weatherproof jacket, Medium, with a winter cap in the pocket was left on the coat rack. If the medium jacket is yours, please check your closet to see if you have the other one, I would like to re-exchange jackets. Call Chaim Himmelfarb, 301-649-1559.
