NESTO - Native English-Speaking Teen Olim
SHIRU LO ZAMRU LO
Music has the ability to uplift our soul, to inspire creativity, to calm a troubled mind, or to raise emotional levels. It seems that music touches a deep part of us, beyond our physical senses of touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. We both hear music through our ears and feel it in our bodies.

Because of this intense power that music has - as well as giving us a legitimate reason to make a lot of noise - we have dedicated the last few weeks to music here at NESTO. If you happened to be walking past the Israel Center recently, you may have noticed the beating of tarbukas, Or the sound of our voices accompanying the instruments. Thanks to Menachem Kern for being a patient and fun teacher.

Senior NESTO will be meeting this coming Tuesday at the TACHANA at 7:00pm, for the first of our community projects this year.

We are also having the firstSenior NESTO Shabbaton of the year October 18. Call Chave or Mimi for more details and to book a spot - as always places are limited so call early to avoid disappointment.

Shabbat Shalom All of here at NESTO

SW of KM and Dr. IF, DC of GS emailed the following comment: In last week’s TT we wished our readers many things for the year 5763. Whereas it is true that 5763 is the longest type of year with 385 days, it actually will be 26 minutes (which is 1560 seconds) shorter than the 554,400 we used in the Bracha. Rosh HaShana this year was September 6, with sunset in Jerusalem at 5:52pm. Next RH is September 26, with sunset at 5:36pm.
