Hey, People of the Book!
books_4.jpgWhenever you buy books, you can help the Shul at the same time.  If you use the links below, Amazon will donate about 6% of your purchase to the shul.  Since they usually have the best prices, you save too! 

For example: Here's a link to buy the Artscroll Siddur: Nusach Sefard (the same Siddur we use in the Shul).  And here's the The Chumash: The Stone Edition (the same one we use in the Shul).  Or any Books at all!

In fact, Amazon donates to the Shul when you buy anything (if you go to Amazon via our links), including: 
So please use these links to help the Shul whenever you shop.   Thanks.

Fund-Raising for Wheelchair

Written by Eyal Cohen
Friday, 12 March 2010 14:28

Our great rabbis required us to read Pirkey Avot ("Chapters of the Fathers") between Passover and Shavuot to strengthen the love among the Jewish people.  Traditionally, the reason cited is that this is in memory of a plague that killed the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva who died by divine decree during this period for not honoring one another properly. Pirkey Avot is unique in that it is the only tractate of the Oral Law dealing with ethical and moral principles.

In Chapter I, Mishna 2, Rabbi Shimon states three cause of the world's stability:  “Upon three things the world stands: The Torah; The worship of God; The bestowal of loving-kindness"... Shimon the Righteous.

It has almost been two years that our close relative, father of four little kids, has had to deal with an unusual disease. Recently the doctors informed him that he had to have an operation to amputate his left leg.  This sickness forced him to quit his job, and it threw the family into a terribly difficult financial situation. The family is struggling to pay the health expenses as well as the other, regular expenses. Their big need now is an electric wheel-chair that can help him to be more independent.   The cost of a chair like this is about $1,400!

The Adams Street Shul community has decided to donate the Matanot La-evyonim (donations for the poor) that has been collected on Purim toward this goal.  So far we have $850.  We need $550 more to buy the chair.

If you would like to part of this great Mitzvah please contact Rabbi Weinberg at 617-467-4647 or Eyal Cohen at 617-935-3247.

With every best wish and gratitude,

Eyal Cohen
