This Past Shabbat 

~~~~~~~~~~

The kiddush this past shabbat was sponsored by Moshe and Mizuho Gino.  We are grateful for their generous donation. 

Some interesting communications regarding the mikvah mischief of last week. One female member found the story cute but really would like to see the water changed after  immersion, submersion, and subversion  by former dharma bum Jack Yohay and beatnick freaknick Mark Zion. On the other side of the spectrum, one single woman notified us that she was on the way and requested that bachelor Zion be kept in the tub (minus Mr. Yohay-onegai shimasu.) I suppose any schul has many different purposes, but just remember that Halachah teaches that male ~ female relations should start  with shidduch, mikvah, chuppah, and then
♡♡♫♫.  


Communications

Arie Grosman, employed at the JCC Tokyo has joined our mailing list and has offered to send people our way. We generally have too little contact with Tokyo and I hope to increase our interactions in the future.


Chikako Seto, who is now studying Jewish culture and anthropology in New York seeks contact with any community members who would like to share thoughts about  Jewish identities in Japan. chikakosonyork@hotmail.com
