the Board will sponsor a kiddush in their honor.

High
Holidays Seat Forms. Please return the forms to the shul office by
July 30th.
Flame
Services. One additional option for the holidays
is the Flame services to be held again this year at YINR.
Flame services are somewhat briefer, explanatory and give time for
discussion but are still run to ensure that all halachic prayer
requirements are met. The services are designed both for our
members who want to learn more about the prayers and as
outreach to the community. There is no charge for these
services but reservations are suggested. If you can read
Torah or would like to be the chazzan for part of the services, we
have a few open spots and could use your help. Contact Mat
Hoffman at mhoffman@bartonesq.com
for more information.
Memorial
Boards. We are accepting orders for new
yahrzeit plaques. Orders placed by August 2nd will
arrive in time for the High Holidays. The one-time cost of a
memorial plaque is $500. To order a plaque, the following
information must be submitted to the YINR office in writing (we
recommend that you not use email as Hebrew text might not be
reliable):
1) Jewish
name (in Hebrew letters)
2) English
name
3) Jewish
yahrzeit date
4) Secular
yahrzeit date
Dedication
of a plaque in memory of a family member or friend is a beautiful
and enduring way to honor their memory. May the merit of the tzedaka given in the names of
our loved ones bring them menucha
nechona al kanfei hash'china.

Make a
Donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Honor of Stephen. 22
members of the community have organized a team to participate in
the Westchester Triathlon on Sunday, September 26th, in association
with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training
Program. Team members are seeking pledges, in honor of our
friend and fellow member, Stephen Lubofsky, to fund The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society's research to find a cure for acute
myelogenous leukemia, the particular form of blood and bone marrow
cancer with which Stephen has been diagnosed. If you would
like to make a pledge to support the team's efforts, please go to http://pages.teamintraining.org/wch/wchtri10/SkippysTeam.
