Please note that Shabbat Lunch, Shabbat afternoon Mincha, and Seudah Shelishit will all be held in the Rabbi and Rabbanit's Sukkah.
Special Kiddush Lunch THIS Shabbat!
A special Kiddush Lunch in the Rabbi and Rabbanit's Sukkah is generously ponsored by the Sigman family in memory of Yisroel ben Yaakov z"l. May his Neshamah have an Aliyah in Gan Eden, Amen!
A story sent to us by the Sigman family:
"Yisroel was born in Russia. During WWI, at the age of 17, he was to be conscripted into the Russian army. As a Jew this meant 25 years of service. So he and another Jew fled on foot. They walked through Siberia and made it to Manchuria, China. They were nearly captured by the Russian police when a Jewish man they’d never met before saved them. Afterwards they made it to Korea. From Korea they got to Japan. From Japan they boarded a banana boat to the US. Once in Washington state, he made it across the continent to New York City where he had some family. He settled there and started a sweater factory. He used to proceeds from the factory to finance brining his relatives to the US. Once a relative arrived, he offered them a job in his factory. He supported the entire family this way throughout the second world war. After the war, he found one family member who had survived, a niece, and immediately brought her to the US and into the business as well. His lifelong lessons on the importance of family, hard work, and ahavas Yisroel have been passed down to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren."
