Hosting 15 IDF Soldiers at YIS October 7-14—Call for Help!
Soon after the Chagim, our community will have the amazing privilege of hosting a Peace of Mind program (more info below) which will bring a unit of 15 IDF soldiers who served in Nachal during the second Lebanon war and who are in need of healing.
 
With the guidance of two psychologists from the Israel Center for the Treatment of Psycho-Trauma, the unit will undergo intensive therapy in and around our shul during the day and then have an opportunity to enjoy Boston and to build relationships with our community in the evenings.
 
We will be hosting these soldiers in our homes, sharing meals with them and celebrating Shabbat together for Parshat Noach (October 13th).
 
We will be partnering with Temple Israel on this project and look forward to building relationships with our friends and neighbors based on our shared love for the Jewish homeland and the young men and women who serve to protect it.
 
We have formed the following task forces and need help with each one.
 Hospitality: finding 10 hosts and arranging accommodations
Transportation: arranging for travel from/to airports and for local outings in the evening
Programing: organizing the logistics for nightly trips in the area
Shabbat: facilitating a community Shabbat dinner
Food: ordering and/or serving breakfast and lunch at the shul for that week
Fundraising: gathering funds to cover the ground costs for the week
Young Israel/Temple Israel Liaison: coordinating the collaboration
 
 Please sign up for one of these committees by emailing Rabbi Cheses at rabbi@yisharon.org.

Giving tzedakah on Yom Kippur for a family member that has passed is a long time tradition in Jewish culture and in our kehilla. Please fill out the form for the YI Sharon Yizkor booklet which will be distributed in shul on Yom Kippur. It is a meaningful way to remember our loved ones who have passed on.

This will be our 10th year of adding Torah articles appropriate for the day. They have been well received by the Kehilla, and we plan to continue this tradition as well.
  
For your convenience, you can submit the form online (and pay) at   https://www.yisharon.org/yizkorbook5779 . 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.  DEADLINE IS NO LATER than September 3rd, 2018.

Announcing our new Youth Director: Elana Zisblatt
Our shul has hired a youth director for the upcoming year so that we can do a better job serving our little people and providing them with a meaningful, safe and fun shul experience. Our very own Elana Zisblatt will be filling this role in coordination with our Youth Chairs Lisa Klinger and Sharyn Schechter. Elana will also be working closely with Rabbi Cheses and with our bnot sherut.

The focus of Elana's role will be Shabbat/Yom Tov morning groups, managing our teen youth leaders and being a regular presence in our 4 regular groups from from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. We are also trying, together with parent volunteers, to begin a Junior Congregation group for 6-7th graders. Let Rabbi Cheses know if you can help with that. 

Please join in welcoming Elana into this role and being part of an amazing youth program at our shul in the years ahead.
