Selichos this Sat. night

• It has been a rough week for Houston. I know many of you has lost some property,  including cars in the surprise flooding of Imelda yesterday. I hope you can be made whole and get back to normal as soon as possible.
• Talking about lost property, KHOU 11 and JHV got on the case to help spread the word about my stolen Texas Tefillin bags. Unfortunately, they have yet to be returned.
• Many women braved the weather on Wednesday night for a wonderful evening of Torah Study and Culinary Delight, hosted by Aishel House in partnership with all Chabad Centers of Houston Pictures to come!
• Mazel tov to Maxine & Michael on their wedding! Please join them to wish them a Mazel tov at the "Shabbos  Selichos" Kiddush Sheva Brochos, sponsored by Michael & Maxine in honor of their wedding.
• The series of  Selichot recited in preparation for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur begin this Saturday night, after midnight.
