Sign up to participate in a Community Wide Siyum Tanach to be held at a Community Dinner the first night of Shavuot. See letter below.
Dear Friends,
Project Mitzvah Update
Project Mitzvah, launched in our community a number of weeks ago, continues to pick up steam. We have heard stories from individuals whose lives have been deeply enriched through their participation in this project. Some have discovered new found meaning through commitment to familiar observances such as prayer and Torah study; others have reached out through acts of Chesed to those around them. By accepting a practical new Mitzvah to perform, these individuals have added a dimension to their lives as they have enhanced our community's spirit.
A number of people have informed us that they have taken on Mitzvot without signing up, either out of humility or a desire to remain anonymous. While we certainly respect such decisions, we encourage everyone to register their names and Mitzvot. The more names we have the more it will encourage others to participate.
Final Phase: Siyum Tanach
As a concluding phase to Project Mitzvah, we would like to initiate a Community Wide Siyum Tanach. Individuals or families can sign up to study a portion of Tanach to learn by Shavuot. We will celebrate the completion of the entire Tanach at a Siyum to be held at a Communal Dinner here at the shul the first night of Shavuot. Click here for information on signing up for the Siyum Tanach and the Shavuot Night Dinner. What better way is there to prepare for Shavuot than to join with friends in completing the entire Tanach and celebrate its completion in festive fashion prior to the all-night learning. Specific instructions how to sign up for the Siyum Tanach and Dinner will be sent out separately. Please note that the Communal Dinner will be open to the entire community, even those who aren't participating in the Siyum.
We will be publishing both a final list of participants in Project Mitzvah as well as the names of those who helped to complete the Siyum Tanach. The sign boards will hang in our shul for all to see during the coming year until next Shavuot.
Please remember that participants in Project Mitzvah will be listed in one column while the list of Mitzvot will be listed separately in random order in order to insure the greatest degree of privacy. Please join us as we work to enhance our community through our respective commitments towards personal growth. In addition to signing up for the Siyum, we are still encouraging those who haven't done so to submit your name and Mitzvah for Project Mitzvah's final publication by e-mailing Rabbi Poupko at
