Shabbat Services For This Week

Following the latest revisions to the COVID-19 rules, we are now able to have many more participants.
In maintaining the social distancing rules, we can have up to 120 Men and 80 Women, provided we all register on-line in advance.
Please continue to maintain social distancing, sanitize on entry, respect and abide by the seating signs for the revised layout.
Please DO NOT remove any signs on seats and DO NOT sit in seats or Rows that have “DO NOT SIT HERE” notices.
Please use the booking forms for Friday and Saturday, that provide individual booking tabs for Men and Women. Please be careful and click the right field.
Below are the times for the Shabbat services this week:
- Friday 22nd January @ 6:30pm (Mincha). Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv will start at 6.45pm
- Saturday 23rd January @ 9:15am
- Saturday 23rd January Mincha/Maariv @ 8:25pm. Dvar Torah by Rabbi Gedaliah Levin – followed by Maariv
The automated booking process uses our ShulCloud™ system. To eliminate confusion and duplicated bookings, we now have three separate booking pages. One for Friday night, one for Saturday morning and one for Mincha/Maariv. There are also individual booking tabs for Men and Women. If you want to attend on either one or all services you will need to book separately for each service and each individual person. There is no option to book for more than one person or service per booking.
Please fill out all fields in the form correctly and click the SUBMIT button. If all your details have been entered correctly, you will be directed to a page that says:
Thank you for your submission.
Shortly after you will receive a confirmation by eMail that will show your confirmed service.
If you do not receive a confirmation eMail within 10 minutes that shows your full booking details, your booking has not been successful and you should try again and send a report to: events@caulfieldshule.com.au
Bookings will open at 6:00pm Tuesday and will close at 12:00pm on Friday or earlier if fully subscribed.

From the President
Dear fellow congregant member,
Thank you for the complimentary communications that we have received for the gift packs and the 4 broadcast “Connection” services over the high holydays watched by over 10,000 people on YouTube and Facebook.
I am pleased to report that we have received early enrollment responses to our emailed initiative this week to conduct outdoor on-site compliant Sukkot services for a very limited number of members.
Please note that we are now seeking to finalize all remaining membership/seat holder accounts.
To that end, a final notice has been issued this week requiring settlement including where applicable, an approved payment plan on or before the 12 October 2020.
This process will ensure that we can finalize our membership list and also prepare an accurate financial forecast and budget for the balance of the 20/21 financial year.
Wishing all members a Chag Sameach over Sukkot.
David Mond
President

A message from the President
As our members are aware, due to overriding health protection considerations, the Board has been extremely conservative in recommencing synagogue services. We have been focusing on building the requisite expertise to deliver services through a functional system that balances the need for synagogue services against the framework of a compliant governance process.
We delivered on 4 bar mitzvah synagogue events and last week resumed main synagogue Shabbat services.
Sadly, despite our desire to expand services further this Shabbat, we find ourselves once again in lockdown.
Let’s pray that the situation will soon take a turn for the better so we may return to the days of old, with active engagement and full synagogue services.
We will nevertheless continue to provide remotely, interesting programs and other services to keep our engagement with members and friends.
Shabbat Shalom
David Mond
President
Special message from the President
A MESSAGE FROM DAVID MOND, PRESIDENT OF CHC
Dear Congregant Members
Due to the speculation surrounding daily services/ minyonim, I wish to confirm that the CHC has no plans to reopen for services under the present state of emergency laws and regulatory regime.
Each synagogue will no doubt make their own decisions on this issue based on their particular circumstances and risk assessment.
The Board together with Rabbi Genende of the CHC has independently adopted a risk averse approach to all decisions relating to our congregant members.
Should the circumstances change, we will of course reassess our position.
Regards and please stay safe
David Mond
President
