On shabbos parshas Bereishis, October 18th, Rabbi Polakoff will be beginning a
new series of pre-mincha shiurim on the subject of Tefilla. He will be focusing
on the background and philosophy of prayer, as well as on gaining a better
understanding of the meaning of our tefillos. Rabbi Polakoff will also be starting
a new series of Tuesday night shiurim on the subject of Hilchos Shabbos
beginning Tuesday October 21st. The shiurim will be focused on practical
halacha with some pertinent background information. All shiurim are open to
both men and women.
The Young Marrieds of Staten Island are interested in helping to organize and
advertise The Shabbos Project (October 24-25 Parshas Noach) so that our
community can participate in this great project! We are hoping to really get the
word out there in our neighborhood. If you want to help organize it please let us
know. We need to spread the word, and spread the word fast! For more

A Course on “Tefillah”, based on the teachings of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik,
will be given by Norman Linzer on alternate Tuesday mornings at 10:00 AM in
the main shul, beginning October 28. It will alternate with Tuesday class given by
Rabbi Lehrfield. Among the major objectives are to understand the Rav’s
conception of tefillah, to utilize tefillah as a means of developing a relationship
with God, and to enhance the meaning of one’s davening. The text is the Koren
Mesorat HaravSiddur, 2012, OU Oress, which can be purchased from Amazon
for about $21. Additional handouts will be distributed. The course will be taught
seminar-style, thereby maximizing participation. Women and men are welcome.
In order to show that everyone has a voice in our beautiful Shul, we have
created a new email, suggestions@yisi.org specifically for ideas to be heard.
Emails will personally be read by our President. Only emails that are signed
with a name and phone number will be considered. All emails signed will get
a quick response. Our President can be reached at 917-567-7383
