Shabbat Mi Sheberach List: We are embarking on a new approach to maintaining the Shabbat Mi Sheberach list in the weekly announcements. In order to properly manage the list and keep it updated, we are asking for your assistance. Moving forward, our list will remain active for two months at a time. At the end of that time, it will be rebuilt. With advance notice, we will be asking you to resubmit any names to include at that time. We will begin rebuilding the list for Shabbat of December 31, Parshat Vayigash. If you would like us to include a name (whether presently on the list or not), please submit both Hebrew and English names to Judy in the office. Also, please indicate whether or not to publicize the English name on the announcements. We want to focus the list primarily on members of our community and their extended families.
