Sponsor T-shirt (in honor of a Simcha?)

Greetings Zoo-Minyanite,

Zoo Minyan is looking for $36 to keep our name on the NHC Summer Institute t-shirt. (National Havurah Committee)


As a T-shirt sponsor, our name joins dozens of other havurot, minyanim, shuls, synagogues, and grassroots Jewish communities on the back of the shirt.

Many Zoo Minyan folks attend the National Havurah Committee Summer Institute each year. (You should consider attending this year!)

Perhaps you're moved to donate in honor of someone or something in your life. Perhaps in honor of a Simcha.

There's a deadline, so please act now.
email yes@zooMinyan.org

Many thanks for considering it!

Shavua Tov.

Shavuot: Tikkun 5/18 - BlintzFest 5/19

Dear Zoo-Minyanite,

***Tikkun Leyl Shavuot***:
as we approach the 40th day of counting the Omer, Shavous and the giving of the torah are almost upon us. And the great joy of receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai is preceded by the uplifting night of Tikkun Leyl Shavuot, a night of study and community (that continues late and for some can go all night!)

Of the many communities offering Tikkunnim the night of May 18th, Zoo Minyan will be lending it's support to the Adas Traditional Minyan in Cleveland Park. if you would like more information --or would like to lead or co-lead a sessions on the topic of your choice after midnight--, contact info@ZooMinyan.org.


***MAY 15th***:
Zoo Minyan will *not* be meeting after all on May 15, and the community wishes a hearty Mazal Tov to Becca Rosen & Zach Teutsch on their aufruf and upcoming Chuppah.


***BLINTZfest***:
