Two ISRAEL CENTER CAFE notes...
The Israel Center Cafe & Catering is now under the Supervision of OU Kashrut in Israel - Mehadrin 

On an experimental basis for the week of July 17-21, people attending morning shiurim will receive a coupon good on the day of issue only for a free cup of coffee or tea with the purchase of a sandwich or plate. If it works out, we will extend this offer. Feedback, please.

Three Israel Center notices...
During the past few months, we have checked and rechecked our records and elusive notes, made many phonecalls, and are ready to prepare the Wall of Appreciation with plaques to acknowledge those who responded to our airconditioning campaign. Although originally intended for 10 Straus, those who have attended programs in the cool comfort of 22 Keren HaYesod can appreciate the efforts and results of the campaign. Thank you for your patience.

And speaking of patience... We know that Torathon was a while ago, but we have not forgotten the journal. It will hopefully be on its way to you in our pre-Rosh HaShana mailing, and will contain - in addition to the ads - all other the Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur supplementary texts, such as Hatarat Nedarim, Kiddush, the Y'HI RATZONs, Tashlich, Kaparot... and more. Plus a large format BENCHER for those whose arms are too short to read a bencher with small or even "regular" size print.

We are in the planning stages of a regular Shabbat morning minyan and we are exploring the feasibility of davening for Rosh HaShana (and Yom Kippur) with the option of catered meals at the Center. Watch for further announcements. We would appreciate your feedback, comments, and suggestions.

Hey guys,
We made it! We survived a whole year together. And it has been a fantastic year for me! I will not be continuing with you next year. However, we (Rabbi, board &I) did meet next year’s bat sherut and she’s real nice. So go easy on her…

I’d like to thank this years board: Aviella Trapido for her kind words, Michal Stillman for her optimistic smile, Yoel Khan for his ambition, Jeremy Saltan for his great sense of humor, and Avi Mayer who was on the board before Jeremy.

I also would like to thank a man who I thanked all year long in person. However, I think now it’s time to thank him publicly. Thank you Rabbi Avi Silverman for being a wonderful director and an amazing person to work with. You taught me what “Dedication” REALLY means.

Finally I’d like to thank the Madrichim. You NESTOies know who they are. All those people who think they are your Madrichim but in fact are your true friends. Thank you for all your help this year with planning & running them. I’m sure NESTO will miss the Madrichim who will not be returning next year.
One more thing before I say goodbye. I just wanted to thank each and every NESTOie who ever came to an event and helped make my year one to be remembered forever. 
Love ya guys, Ilana STAY IN TOUCH!!!

Bidding a Fond Farewell...
Just because it's time to say goodbye to our three Sherut Leumi girls of 5761, doesn't mean we have to be happy about it. (Even though they're all smiley in the picture.) Maybe the Bard composed, "Parting is such sweet sorrow" (R&J II:2) for just this situation.

Get the point? It was a good year, our first year at 22 Keren HaYesod, and part of the credit goes to our ever-pleasant, hard-working trio of Bnot Sherut. That the three of them got along beautifully with each other is one thing. Not even that rare. That they got along will the whole staff at the Center is something else. On the rare side. But there's more. 

They behaved and functioned as if they were part of the Israel Center family for years — not as one-year transitory young women doing their National Service, finish the year and then on to bigger and better things. And that is the rarest quality of all. 

Officially working with NCSY b'Yisrael, NESTO, Nitzotz, Gesharim, and Beit Kharkov, the girls all took an active hand in Torah Tidbits distribution and a keen interest in other Israel Center activities.

We wish our dear Sherut girls much Bracha & Hatzlacha in all their future endeavors. (Come back to visit!)
