Young Israel Shomrai Emunah – Shabbos Shorts
July 13 – 14, 2018 – 2 Av 5778 – Parshas Matos/Masei
Light Candles by 8:16 – Havdalah 9:21
The Shabbos Shorts is sponsored this week by Nechama Goodman: Hakaras Hatov to the many people who gave Nechama to me, my family and particularly, Chaya Leeba bat Yoseph, my mother, A"H. Especially because we had to sit Shiva at a great distance from Silver Spring. We had a Siyum for her Shloshim. People told me that it was very meaningful to them, B"H. If you want to read the speeches that were most inspiring, email me at ngoodman.lcswc@gmail.com
