For your convenience, you can submit the form online (and pay) at  https://www.yisharon.org/yizkorbook5780. You must log into ShulCloud to access the form. 
While we prefer online entry, you can also fill out the attached form and drop or mail it, with payment, to the shul office. Any questions, please contact Cyna Reisman, 781-784-8684.

NEW!! Six Decades and Beyond Group
Young Israel is starting a new group for people of the age 60 plus!  "Six Decades and Beyond" is intended to give "the more mature" members in the shul an opportunity to socialize through an assortment of fun and interesting programs and events. Our first gathering is scheduled for Thursday evening, August 22nd. Marcia just received word that tonight's Shakespeare performance at Borderland State Park was cancelled because the Easton Department of Health still lists Easton as critical regarding EEE. Instead, you are invited to gather at the Shimshak home, 46 Billings St., which is at the corner of Summit Ave. at 5:30 tonight. Please bring your own picnic dinner which was our original backup plan. We will be happy to spend the night in conversation and listening to old 45s. Bring drinks if you are interested. 
For further information call Marcia Shimshak at (339)364-0639.

2020 YIOS Trip to Israel!
Several people have approached Rabbi Cheses about organizing a shul trip next year, leaning on the expertise of our past member Yitzchak Sokolof. The trip would likely be 6-8 days, include one Shabbat and have the option of going early or extending afterwards. The trip would take place in February when there are many discounted deals that bundle flight and airline tickets. We already have 6-8 interested people and probably need 4-6 more in order to make it happen. The theme of the trip would be on a unique aspect of Israel that we are not often exposed to (ex- high tech sector, solar energy, history of the Mishnah etc.)
The group that goes will have final say on the theme/s. 
Please be in touch with Rabbi Cheses (rabbi@yisharon.org) or with Dan Shimshak (daniel.shimshak@umb.edu) about your interest in this opportunity.
