Dear Friends,
- Please join us at Chabad of Uptown for a memorial service in memory of Daniel Kadmon, o.b.m., whose untimely passing was only a few weeks before Rosh Hashana - the week of the Hurricane. A Mincha memorial service will be held this Sunday, November 9 at 4:00pm with you, the community, family and friends at the shul, 1800 S. Post Oak. Donate in his memory.
- However we also have joyous news.... Chabad of Uptown extends a hearty Mazel Tov to Eidan & Sarit Ohana upon the birth of a baby girl! You may send them a mazel tov here!May we only share simchos! Donate in their honor.
- Tonight, Chabad Hebrew School will be having a Shabbat dinner at the school on Fondren. As directors of the school, we will be leading that Shabbat experience. We look forward to seeing y'all this Sunday, and next Shabbat (Nov. 14-15) for yet another wonderful Uptown Shabbaton!
- YOOD is coming to town! This BBQ and rock concert was originally scheduled the week of the hurricane, they are now really coming! Next Sunday, Nov. 16, at the Texas Medical Center and Rice University. Click here for advance tickets at half price!
- Once again, Rabbi Faitel Lewin, a sofer from Brooklyn, N.Y., will be available to check mezuzos and tefillin from midday Tuesday, Nov. 25 12:30 pm, through 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 27. In order to accommodate all those who need items checked, please post a comment on the Chabad Center blog, as well as the number of mezuzos and pairs of tefillin to be checked. You may leave your items that morning (Nov. 25) in the shul (at 10900 Fondren) marked clearly with your name and cell #. According to halacha, mezuzos and tefillin should be checked twice every seven years. Some have the custom to inspect them annually.
Have a good Shabbos!
Rabbi Chaim & Chanie
