KIDDUSH SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS WEEK
~This week’s Main Minyan Shabbat Kiddush has two sponsors!

~ David and Alane Schreiber in honor of the Birthday boys: Bill Edelman, David Blaszkowsky and Eli Hauser.
and by
~ Kiddush this week is also sponsored by the anti-pin stripe club and many Red Sox fans, with the following tribute:
Just a mere three weeks ago "they" honored Aaron Judge
With Kiddush treats of ice cream, seeds, and even chocolate fudge
They taunted us with jeers and winks, each Red Sox fan they’d mock
The Yankees were the best, they said, with swagger in their walk
But in the ALCS games, the Yanks went 0 and 4
With five series losses in a row, no team has yet lost more
Still, Red Sox fans have empathy, we feel for their defeat,
So now the kiddush is on us, and this one's got hot chullent--what a treat! ​​​​​​​

~ SHOUT OUT: Shout out to our dear children, Rabbi Noah & Sarah Cheses on the occasion of Parshat Noach!  Shabbat Shalom from Israel, Nechama & Aryeh Cheses

Sponsor a Kiddush!
