Dear Friends,
Shalom
Today, instead of Or Hadash's weekly letter written by our Rabbi,  we wanted to tell you about Rabbi Edgar Nof's birthday. On Tuesday morning, June 24th the Or Hadash staff and preschool children gathered in the synagogue and when Rabbi Nof entered everybody yelled: "Happy birthday Rabbi Edgar!". We then asked the children to come up to stage and congratulate Rabbi Nof. They came in groups and wished him happy birthday.
One of our preschool teachers, Liora, made a guitar-shaped birthday cake for him (see picture). This cake was beautiful!! The preschool and moadonit children made a huge greeting card which was also shaped like a guitar with pictures of each child in the preschool on it.

After working so hard all year long, we think Rabbi Nof deserves a few moments of joy and appreciation. We are very fortunate to have him with us. As you know, Or Hadash's Board renewed his contract for the next ten years (until 2018). Mazal tov!
Wishing you all Shabbat Shalom,

Dr. Yuri Kligerman- Or Hadash President
