One of the hallmarks of this fund is to ensure that all distribution of funds will be handled discreetly and respectfully. If you, or someone you know, are in need of financial assistance, please contact Rabbi Weinstein. The sources of funding for the Tzedaka fund include donations made by members and visitors, and the contents of the Pushka. Each year, before Purim and Pesach, we ask the YIEB membership to donate money to this fund. While the funds go to help families throughout the year, we do distribute funds on Purim. Therefore, if you donate before March 13th, it can be used to fulfill your obligation of Matanot L’evyonim. This past year, the need for assistance has increased, so at this time before Purim, please make your donations for Matanaot L’evyonim payable to the Young Israel of East Brunswick Tzedaka Fund and send them to: David Rabinowitz 12 Constitution Court East Brunswick, NJ 08816 Wishing you all a Freilechen Purim, Rabbi Jay Weinstein David Rabinowitz, Chairperson SPRING MINYAN MEN! Now that the clocks have changed and Mincha/Maariv during the week is later, we still need everyone's help to ensure we have a Minyan. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YIEB BOARD NOMINATIONS Nominations are now being accepted for the Shul Board for the 2014/2015 year that begins July 1st. If you wish to be considered for nomination, please contact Aaron Shmulewitz, Chair of the Nominating Committee. _________________________________________ RABBI’S CORNER Dear Young Israel Families, This past Sunday, I joined Melissa Rosen and a group of YIEB high school students in Long Island rebuilding a home that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. This was under the auspices of the organization called NECHAMA: Jewish Response to Disaster that trains and mobilizes thousands of volunteers to help communities after floods, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. While it was certainly hard work (although I discovered that I might actually have a talent for painting), it was incredibly important to “step out of our bubble” and be exposed to the difficult reality that there are still many families whose lives are in turmoil post the storm. It was an opportunity to provide our high school students with a leadership opportunity and to teach them the responsibility we have to the broader world around us. I’m very proud of Zach Tuchman, Rebecca Siegel, Yoni Rosen, Jacob Small, and Meir Zagdanski for participating and a special thanks to Melissa for arranging the program! Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Jay Weinstein ______________________________________________ Please see the attached Purim schedule for a list of all the Megilla Readings & Programs.
