SHUL DECORUM REMINDER
At YIEB we encourage talking to

HASHEM during Davening.
FRIENDS during Kiddush.
RABBI’S CORNER
Shabbat, Parshat Ki Tisa
Dear Young Israel Families,
Back in the times of the Talmud Bavli, there
was a phenomenon called “Yarchay Kallah.”
During the months of Adar and Elul in which
Rabbis and teachers would gather in the major
Yeshivot to learn and prepare for the upcoming
chagim. Each year, as part of continuing
education for Rabbinic Alumni, Yeshiva
University provides for us the opportunity to
partake in a Yarchay Kallah. This year’s Yarchay
Kallah will take place this coming week. At the
conference, which is attended by pulpit Rabbis
around the country, we have the opportunity to
continue learning from our Rebbeim and
teachers while also working on other rabbinic
skills to utilize “in the field.” Most of all, it’s an
opportunity to re-energize and gain Chizzuk
from our role models and Chaverim. This year,
we have the additional advantage that the
conference will take place in Miami Beach, FL. I
look forward to sharing with you about my
experiences when I return and you have my
word that I will try and bring back some Florida
weather!
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Jay Weinstein

SUNDAY 9:15 AM MINYAN
There has been interest expressed by some
members in adding a later Minyan option for
Sunday morning. As a result, we began a 9:15 AM
Minyan in the main sanctuary this past Sunday on
a trial basis. We need sufficient participation for
this Minyan to continue. Please email Avi
Tuchman, at [email protected] to let him
know your interest so that we can ensure we have
a large enough pool of interested participants for a
sustainable Minyan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINTER MINYAN MEN!
Now that Mincha/Maariv during the week is very
early, we need everyone's help to ensure we have a
Minyan. Thank you.
___________________________________________
LATE MAARIV
Dear YIEB Members, As we are in the winter
months and our regular Mincha/MaarivMinyan is
early in the day, many people are not able to
attend. So, we provide a "late Maariv" Minyan
Monday through Thursday at 9:30 PM (Please note
we are no longer having a late Maariv on
Sunday night). A number of members of our
community saying Kaddish rely on this
Minyan. Unfortunately, over the past number of
weeks, the late MaarivMinyan has not had
adequate participation. In order for us to continue
this Minyan, we are looking for your support by
signing up and committing to one night during the
week. The Minyan will run
through Thursday Night, March 13th (less than 2
months to go!). Please sign up by clicking on this

MIKVAH CONGREGATIONAL MEETING Fellow YIEB Member,
On Thursday, February 27th at 8 PM there will be
a YIEB Congregational Meeting. The purpose of
the meeting will be for members to vote on the
hiring of a contractor to completely renovate
the YIEB Mikvah. The YIEB Board of Directors met
on Thursday February 6th and passed the resolution
below. It is now time for the congregation to vote
on this motion. This vote is constitutionally
required because the proposed expenditure is in
excess of $10,000.
YIEB Board of Directors passed the following
motion:
1. That the Board approve the Mikvah renovation
project pending completion of a contract
acceptable to the officers of the shul and its legal
counsel and
2. That the Board authorize the Mikvah Board to
spend up to $180,000 from Mikvah funds
(including funds raised from the Mikvah
Campaign) on the Mikvah renovation project, to be
overseen by an individual designated by the
officers of the shul; and
3. That the Board recommends that the Mikvah
renovation project be sent to the membership for
congregational approval.
Enclosed please find 3 attachments:
1. Construction contract for the
renovation of the YIEB Mikvah
2. Plans for the renovation of
the YIEB Mikvah
3. Evidence of liability insurance for
the proposed contractor
As you may recall, the YIEB Mikvah conducted a
successful capital campaign in 2013. Between the
money the Mikvah campaign raised in the capital
campaign and the money it already had in its bank
account, 100% of the funds for the Mikvah
renovation presently sit in the Mikvah’s bank
account.
While the YIEB Mikvah has historically operated as
a separate entity, lay leadership has taken the
position that YIEB Board and congregational
approval are needed to implement the
construction plans for the following reasons:
1. While the Mikvah has historically
operated independently, it is not truly a
separate legal entity from YIEB and
operates under the auspices and tax
ID# of YIEB itself.
2. The renovation of the Mikvah
involves expenditures well in excess
of YIEB's Board of Directors’
constitutional ability to approve
(currently $10,000). The process here
will be for the YIEB Board to approve
(which it did on February 6th) and then
for the congregation to approve as
well......just as we did with the roof
expenditure.
3. The renovation of the Mikvah
involves serious demolition and
construction inside our building and
while we are excited to accomplish this
renovation, these are serious matters
that should involve the approval of the
board and congregation at large.
While a presentation will take place at the
congregational meeting and I am enclosing the
attachments herein, please do not think that in a
matter of a few minutes you or I can be brought up
to full speed with as much detail as the individuals
who have worked for the past ten months on this
project day and night. I would suggest that if a
member has serious and detailed questions
regarding this project that they contact Sharon
Weinstein (732-354-5913), Miltie Goldman (732-
715-6848) or me. The contracts enclosed have
been reviewed by Aaron Shmulewitz, the Shul’s
legal counsel, and he will continue to make any
minor changes as he sees fit as we move
forward. If you have any questions regarding the
contract itself, please reach out to
Aaron Shmulewitz at 732-238-5432. Milttie
Goldman and his renovation committee and
Sharon Weinstein and her Mikvah committee have
approved the plans above for submission to the
township. In conjunction with the architect and
contractor, Miltie and Sharon will follow the plans
through the process and work with the paid
professionals to tweak the plans as needed.
I hope that you are as excited as I am to begin the
process of renovating the YIEB Mikvah. However,
let me caution everyone that when doing
construction, there will be starts and stops, delays,
tweaks to the plans, etc. - it is just the nature of
construction and dealing with townships and
municipalities. The good news is that we have a
great team, passionately dedicated to bringing this
renovation project to fruition.
I want to thank Miltie Goldman and Sharon
Weinstein for putting their personal lives on hold
and dedicating so much time to our Mikvah
project.
If you are unable to attend this meeting, but still
wish to vote, please reach out to Batsheva
Goldman (732-238-6505) prior to Tuesday
February 25th for her to review with you the
procedure necessary for a proxy to vote on your
behalf. Proxies will be acceptable until Wednesday
February 26th at 8 PM.
Thank you,
Aron J. Adams
