SPRING FORWARD This Sat Night we move the clocks ahead one hour. This is important for any events you plan on attending this Sunday (Daf Yomi Siyum and or the Shabbos House Torah Celebration etc) so you get up and come on the new time.

This newsletter is sponsored in honor of

Moshe Rubin’s Bar-Mitzvah

Celebration this Shabbos & Sunday

by his parents Mendel & Raizy and the Rubin & Galperin Families FLOUR+LIQUID EXPERIMENT Nursery students put the same amount of flour and yeast in 5 cups, but added a different type of liquid to each cup. They used orange and apple juices, lemon-juice, sugar-water and plain water… to see which would rise highest. They stirred them up and then waited to see what would happen (the sugared water rose the highest). Actually, this is a complex Talmudic issue and the Halachic background for this (<) inscription on boxes of Egg-Matzah or products made for Pesach with flour & any liquids besides water. Thanks to Morah Rivka, Morah Elisheva and Morah Stephanie for introducing our kids to scientific method early on, and for integrating Judaic & General Studies in a wholesome, hands-on &practical way. There’s real learning in the Nursery! (Goes without saying...)

PESACH IS COMING! Contact Rabbi Rubin 423-4103 or your Rabbi to:  Arrange for the sale of your Chametz  Purchase Shmurah Matzah (at least for Seders)  Find a place for a Seder if not at your home  Ask Halacha questions as you shop/prepare  Contribute “Maos Chittim” for Passover needs of the poor in our community
