Shalom!
With the return to public school this week and the beginning of our SHJC Nursery and Religious School programs next week, this will mark the last e-Notice of our summer schedule this year. Starting this weekend, look for our major
Weekly Notice to be published on Sundays and for a supplemental Weekend Update on Thursdays. As always, we will continue to provide you with breaking news and important information as events warrant. Please remember to keep us up to date regarding the simhas, achievements and other important events in your life. It is always a pleasure to share good news with the SHJC family, and we are here for you in times of grief and sadness, as well. Information should be sent to Peri Schacknow,
peri@optonline.net or
mail@shjc.org.
This weekend, Hazzan Shamash resumes his Shabbat Prayer Learning Sessions which will take place a half hour prior to the start of services on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. While the focus of the sessions is to help our B’nai Mitzvah students enhance their study and preparation, everyone is welcome to attend to enrich their own learning and Shabbat experience. This weekend’s sessions will take place at 8:00 PM tomorrow and 9:00 AM on Saturday.
On the school front, Nursery School begins its school year this coming Monday.
Orientation Meetings will take place for Religious School parents on Monday evening. Alef parents will meet at 7:30 PM, and parents of students in Bet through Hei will get together at 8:30. There have been some significant changes to the Religious School program this year, so please make an effort to attend to familiarize yourself with what you and your child can expect! It is also suggested that you read the new
Parent Handbook, which you will find on the Religious School page on our website.
Religious School classes get underway on Tuesday for Bet, Dalet and Hei. Alef and Gimel will start on Wednesday. Gan and Simha classes have their first session depending on which day of the week you chose. If you need additional schedule information, contact our Principal Sherry Gutes,
sgutes@shjc.org or 631-421-3224 x12.
 In other youth programming news, the kickoff event for
Youth Group will take place this Sunday at 6:00 PM. Enjoy Sundaes on
Sunday, and stop in to pick up a registration form (also available on the Youth Group page on our website). Meet some great kids and enjoy lots of fun events throughout the year. There are groups for fourth and fifth graders (Club 45), middle schoolers (Kadima) and high school students (USY). Contact our Youth Director Debbi Varano,
dvarano@shjc.org or 631-689-2028 for more info.

September 17 is the deadline to purchase hallah and traditional holiday desserts through the synagogue so you can avoid waiting in line for holiday pickup! They’ll be baked fresh for us by Bagel Boss, and delivered to SHJC for pickup. Just fill out the
