News and Notes

Here's this week's edition of the VCJC News and Notes email. We hope you enjoy it and find it useful! Reminders Shabbos Shabbos information is, as always, available on our website, both in the information sidebar and the events calendar. Here are the times you need:   Shabbos Candles Friday 6/2/23 @ 8:03 pm Shabbos morning services at 8:40 am.  Please join the services if you can do so safely.  Shabbos Ends Saturday 6/3/23 @ 9;07 pm Kiddush will be given by Merrill Penn in honor of his brother Marvin’s yahrzeit.   Sunday, June 4.  Annual Membership Meeting A hybrid Zoom & In-Person General Membership meeting will be held in the main Sanctuary.  Breakfast will be served about a  half hour before the meeting at 9:30 am with the meeting to start at  10AM.  All VCJC members are urged to make every effort to attend this important meeting.  We cannot transact the business of the meeting without a quorum. The agenda will be the elections of all Officers, as well as Trustees.  If you are a member, you may request the Zoom login information electronically via email to vancortlandtjc@aol.com before the office closes on Friday.      Donate for Shavuos Yizkor!  It is customary to make a charitable donation in conjunction with Yizkor.  If you wish to donate to VCJC as part of your Yizkor observance this past Shavuos, it can be done in person at the office, by check, or online through our website 4. Reminders Tell us about your preferences for the Center Light via email We are considering offering the Center Light by email (as an alternative).  It might be as a pdf, which might not work very well on mobile devices.  It might be as highlights or summaries with links to read more.  It could be a different format than that.  We are soliciting your input about this.  You can respond to this newsletter and tell us: if you prefer postal mail or would like email instead, if you would find pdf acceptable or would prefer a more mobile-friendly format, if you think this is a good idea (to save money and make the Center Light more accessible) or a terrible idea. Shiurim on the website There are now several audio shiurim on the VCJC website. You can access them via the right column on any page or the blog summary page.  Let us know how you like them or if you have any suggestions for how they are presented.  Van Cortlandt Jewish Center 3880 Sedgwick Ave Bronx, NY 10463
