Time to Recarpet!
 Thanks to a generous donation from Harold & Pat Kaplan, several rooms are getting much needed new carpeting, including the Saide Chapel and office spaces!
This Sunday, July 29th, from 10am - 2pm we need volunteers to help us completely clear out several rooms so they are ready for carpet to be replaced on Monday and Tuesday. Then, on Wednesday, August 1st, we need volunteers at 9:00 am to come again to help move everything back in to the offices.
The office will be closed for business this Monday, July 30th, through Wed., August 1st.
Morning minyan Monday through Wednesday will be held in the Schechter Sanctuary, as will Monday evening minyan. Please contact Sean in the office (651-452-2226) or at
execdir@beth-jacob.org to volunteer!

 Sunday, August 5, 2012 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM  Join with fellow Beth Jacob members for a day of paddling starting above Ford Dam and ending below Snelling Park.
Our trip will include going through the lock and dam system at Ford Dam (Dam #1), paddling through the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers and a stop-over on Pike Island for lunch. Because of the higher than usual water flow this year, participants need to have prior experience paddling. For questions or information, contact Rabbi Liberman at learn@beth-jacob.org or Bruce Kessler at bskess@earthlink.net. There is no cost, but please register here by Thursday, August 3 to let us know you'll be there!  Click to add this event to your calendar |

Emtza Turns 60!
 Dear Friends,
Over the years, many of you were active in USY, and I wanted you to know that Emtza Region USY is having a 60th Anniversary Celebration on October 14, 2012. I want to make sure that you receive all the information about the event, so could you go to the following web site and fill out a very short survey to get you added to our alumni list?
Even if you cannot go to the event in October, it would be great to get you on our list to share with other past Emtza Region USYers. I hope to see your name on our list soon!
Sincerely,
Rabbi Morris J. Allen
(Emtza region USY 1969-1973 - Tifereth Israel Synagogue Lincoln, Nebraska)

Shir Shacharit Services for the entire shul will start in the Saide Chapel with its close, intimate setting, allowing the room to be filled with our prayerful voices. As we conclude both Pesuke D'zimra and Shacharit, we will make our way to the main sanctuary for Torah reading and the remainder of Shabbat davening and learning. The Shlichai Tzibur will be Miryam Kabakov & Mara Benjamin.
August 11th - Rabbi Shosh Dworsky
