Dear Members and Friends,
I am excited to report that at last night’s Board of Director’s meeting, the Board unanimously approved awarding a contract to Rafael Minkowitz of Asset Construction for the renovation of our new building. The contract has been duly signed and the work has begun TODAY!! (3/12/12)

As was mentioned in the update sent to the shul Erev Purim, the Building Committee and a sub-committee of the Board spent a significant amount of time over the last few days meeting with Asset Construction to revamp the renovation plans in a manner that was optimal from both a pricing and timing perspective. Mr. Minkowitz has gone out of his way to present a plan which meets those goals.
In summary, the renovation has been broken into two phases. Phase I, which began today, will include the following items:

Dear S’T” Parents,
We are pleased to announce some exciting changes in our youth programming. We are creating a new group for children in grades 2-5. The children will use real siddurim and participate in a more detailed davening and parsha study. Our middle group will serve children in grades K-1. Our youngest group will serve children in nursery and pre-K.
Second, we have opened up a third room so that each group has its own space. We will have clearly marked signs on the doors indicating where the different groups will be.
We ask for your patience as we fine-tune our changes. It may take a few weeks to get everything up and running smoothly. We will continue to give out prizes, snacks, etc.
Just a few reminders of some shul policies:

Parshas Shmini – Yom Hashoa
In the month of Nisan, that we are now concluding, we observe two of the most significant periods of oppression that the Jewish People have endured – the slavery in Egypt, which was our first, and the Holocaust, which was our worst, in many respects…aside from the Crusades and Bar Kochba revolt that also occurred during this time of the year as well. But as we reflect at this time on the worst acts that humanity has been capable of committing and the senseless prejudices that continue to pervade humanity, I feel compelled to consider the underlying causes and ways that we can potentially improve ourselves in these areas. And I would like to focus on the biblical account of the Exodus.
