D’VAR TORAH

By Rabbi Dovid Zauderer

Dear Village Shul Community,

It is with mixed emotions that we share the news of Abi Samole's departure from The Village Shul. Abi has been an invaluable member of our team, and her contributions have made a significant impact on our community.

We support her and wish her nothing but success in her future endeavors. It is with gratitude and admiration that we reflect on her 12 years of service, and commitment to The Village Shul. Abi has been an integral part of our community and poured her heart and soul into growing The Village Shul, enriching the lives of our members, and strengthening the bonds of our community. Her dedication to our mission and her tireless efforts have touched the lives of many, and we are grateful for her contributions.

On behalf of the entire community, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Abi for her service and commitment to The Village Shul. We wish for her future endeavors to be filled with success and fulfillment.

Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through this transition period. Together, we will uphold the spirit of community and collaboration that Abi has helped foster at The Village Shul.

Les Aaron - Chairman of Board of Director

Rob Berger - President

WOMEN'S SEUDAS SHLISHIT SERIES - STARTING JUNE 8TH

Hello Ladies,

As the long summer days arrive, we are seeking Shomer Shabbos hosts for the Women's Seudas starting June 8th, the week before Shavuot. These gatherings occur every other Shabbat afternoon at 6 pm in the neighborhood, where we share words of Torah and enjoy community fellowship.

If you would like to host or sponsor a Seuda, please reach out to me. As I will be in and out periodically, please contact me either via WhatsApp at 416-317-5477 or by email at Caroleeegoldberg@gmail.com

Thanks you so much and looking forward to learning with you all soon. Carole.
