Chabad Weekly Update
Kiddush Sponsor – Huge Celebration THIS Shabbos! This week’s Kiddush is being sponsored by Beverly Galperin and Nataly Mushinsky and family in loving memory of Misha Galperin on his birthday. The Kiddush is being cosponsored by David and Anna Mintz in honor of Keith Mintz on his birthday! Everyone is invited to join us for this beautiful weekly gathering! If you have not sponsored a Kiddush for a while and/or if you have a birthday, anniversary, or perhaps a Yarzeit you wish to mark, please respond to this message. Kiddush sponsorship begins at $180. Open House Scheduled: Sunday, Aug. 23, 11:30am-2:30pm Mark your calendar now for a wonderful Open House Celebration! Everyone is invited and encouraged to join us as we will be giving tours of our new building and unveiling our exciting menu of what we offer the community (including religious services, educational programs, and social opportunities), conducting a Safrut demonstration (see how to write a Megillah!), serving a barbecue lunch (it’s on us!), enjoying a bounce house, entertainment, and lots of fun. As a special added feature, never before offered in Carlsbad, we will have a Shofar Factory! There will be a demonstration as to how a Shofar is made, and for those who wish to try it for themselves, they can actually make their own Shofar! This activity is great for children and adults.
Please note that we are currently looking for volunteers to help with this ambitious program. If you wish you to come to the Open House or serve as a volunteer please be sure to send an email to[email protected]. We look forward to seeing everyone here!

We are also looking for valuable new gifts for the auction. If you have or can sponsor hotel/time-share getaways, sporting events, entertainment events, beauty/health products or experiences, jewelry, or electronics please respond to this message. It will be a great Mitzvah and deeply appreciated! Class Closed – FULL! French Gourmet Kosher Cooking Class We are excited to announce that Franck Riffaud, Executive Pastry Chef at the Park Hyatt Aviara, a five-star resort hotel, will be giving a class offered to our community at no cost. The class will take place at 7:30pm on Thursday, August 20th in Chabad at La Costa. For this particular class Chef will be focusing on delicious yet simple recipes for dessert on Shabbat. Each participant will receive the recipes as well as learn, in a step-by-step manner how to make it. They will get to sample the desserts take some home! Chef Riffaud joined Park Hyatt Aviara Resort after three years at Four Seasons Hotel Dublin, where endless tempting pastry creations earned him a reputation as one of Ireland’s leading pastry chefs. Born in France, Chef Riffaud grew up on a farm in Bordeaux. His grandmother taught him to cook, instilling in him a respect for the quality of the produce in each dish. At the age of 17, Riffaud went to the Culinary School of Quercy Perigord in Souillac. While there, he learned all aspects of French culinary skills and cultures, and discovered his love of sweet foods, especially pastries. Chef Riffaud continued his career in France and worked as Assistant Pastry Chef in Three-Star Michelin restaurants and some of the top Relais & Chateaux restaurants including Le Bateau Ivre, Le Grand Coeur & Le Cagnard.
Reservations to participate will be handled on a first-come-first-served basis as there is very limited space. To reserve a place send an email to[email protected]. Please note that this class is already full and we are accepting no more reservations. If you would like to register for the next class taught by Chef Riffaud please respond to this message. It will again be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

We remember Ernst Berliner on his Yarzeit. ### Need a Minyan? If you need a Minyan to say Kaddish please give the office at least a few days notice. We are happy to provide this important service, but it takes time to arrange enough participants to assure the quorum is present. Please email [email protected] your request. Learn the Code of Jewish Law with Rabbi Eilfort A daily class in practical Jewish Law is held immediately following the Minyan taught by Rabbi Eilfort. Using the Code of Jewish Law, known in Hebrew as the Shulchan Aruch, participants are able to discuss the laws while learning about the ongoing opportunities one has to serve the Almighty on a moment-by-moment basis. The class begins at about 8:50am and lasts for about 20 minutes. There is no charge to attend. Memorial Plaques & Tree of Life Plaques Available Our beautiful Memorial Boards have been installed. We specifically designed our custom-built bookcases to ‘frame’ each of the boards. The first Memorial Board was dedicated by the Brunelle Family and the new Board was dedicated by the Alter Family. We are currently offering Memorial Plaques to those who wish to perpetually honor the memory of a loved one in a most dignified and permanent manner. Those who dedicate Memorial Plaques will also receive yearly reminders of the Yarzeit and the light on the Board will be illuminated each year on the Yarzeit. We also have a gorgeous Tree of Life dedicated by the Lieberman Family that will shortly be going up. The purpose of the plaques on the Tree of Life is to commemorate joyous occasions (like Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversaries, special birthdays, weddings etc.). The donation is only $360 per plaque for either the Memorial Board or the Tree of Life. Those who wish to participate should send an email to[email protected], or call Rabbi Eilfort at 760-943-8891. Cell Phones & Chatting During Services Needless to say the sanctuary on Shabbat or holidays is a place that must be conducive to reflective prayers and serenity. To help keep it this way, please refrain from engaging in any conversations during services and please do not bring in your cell phone. Thank you for your cooperation. Shul Etiquette Those who join us regularly for Shabbat services will agree that we have something very special going. The family-friendly atmosphere is unique and most inviting. We welcome everyone as though he/she is a long time member of the family. At the same time it is important to remember that we are a synagogue. Our sanctuary is meant to be a place where it is conducive to finding inner peace and tranquility. That is why the Rabbis have many laws concerning the decorum of a shul. It is appropriate to dress modestly and to dress somewhat formally in shul. Men should wear button down shirts, slacks (no jeans or shorts), with jackets and even ties when possible. Of course the head is to be kept covered at all times. Women should wear skirts that go past the knees and blouses with high neck lines and sleeves that cover the elbows. Married women should wear hats and the like. Children must be supervised at all times by the parents except during Junior Congregation (11:30am). While we want the children to have a great time together it is also important that they do not become so wild and/or boisterous that they disturb those of us who are participating in the services. We must remember that we should walk to shul and never park in the parking lot if there already eight cars parked. Finally, and we fully realize this goes against Jewish DNA, it is appropriate to come to shul ON TIME. While we know everyone is vying to be counted as the 10th, we are equally sure Hashem will give extra credit to those who come ON TIME at 10am (not to be confused with 11:30). We look forward to seeing you here! Please Patronize Our Sponsors Your Chabad Real Estate Agent & Mortgage Broker Jonathan Rozansky is a licensed realtor and mortgage professional.
