Night Seder America - Final Week Update
Dear Parents and Masmidim,

As we discussed the sound of a shofar and sang the Niggun of the week, we explained that sometimes in life there are no words sufficient to express an emotion.

In our case, the feelings of Hakaras Tov and gratitude to Hashem for giving us the health and siyata dishmaya to be part of NSA over the last 3 months are without bounds. The amount of shteiging and growth that we have experienced both as a tzibbur and as yechidim is something that will stay with us throughout our lives.

We will Iy"h have one more full week of NSA followed by a grand finale/ siyum on Sunday night June 28th. Details to follow next week. Our plans for post-summer are still to be determined.

ZOOM MEETING ID: 8970634419 or 71913589090 (Password for both is 5780)
CALL IN OPTION: 929-436-2866 (followed by first meeting id) or 929-205-6099 (followed by second meeting id)

We have attached the shiurim from this past week. See below

Starting Monday, June 29th, we will be launching a Learning Program Mon-Fri with a once a week mishmar/ kumzitz on Thursday nights throughout the summer called FSA (First Seder America).

Have a wonderful Shabbos,

Rabbi Schonfeld

8:45pm-9pm: Nightly contest. 

This weeks contests: 
(We will Iyh send out the bumper stickers this coming week)

NEW- We heard very inspiring words from Rabbi Boehm on the topic of "Kal Ma D'avid Rachmana Litav Avid"- recognizing that everything from Hashem is ultimately for our benefit. Based on this concept, we will be having a music video competition this week. Please send in a music video using a song related to this topic (Nu nu from Uri Davidi, Kol Mah from Shulem Brodt...). Maximum 3 minutes. Deadline to send it in is Wednesday June 24th. We will play the top 3 winners om Thursday June 24th and give out prizes (Evolution Basketball, Wide receiver gloves, Baseball bat) to the winners.

V'haarev Na- We will continue to raffle off (courtesy of Vhaarev Na) a set of a personalized Cross pen/pencil every night to the boys who write notes and teitch in their Gemara. 

T.M.P (you control!!) (That's My Psak!)- We will choose at least 2 contestants a night who will try and answer 6 multiple choice questions correctly. Each correct answer leads to a larger gift card, with the top prize being a Segway (gevaldig, gevaldig, gevaldig!!...) Phone participants can participate as well. We are excited and honored that Pirchei Agudas Yisroel has partnered with us to help sponsor T.M.P. This week, there will be 6 categories of questions. 1- Tanach 2- Jewish history 3- Jewish music 4- Gemara 5- NSA trivia 6- Audio. You will decide when you want to be asked each category. 

The power of a Niggun- Anyone who sings the Berditchever niggun  (with or without joey newcomers words)  will be entered a raffle sunday for a blue tooth speaker. (Mazel tov Dovi Gewirtzman on winning the speaker last week)


Nightly trivia- Of course we will continue our nightly trivia on the Gemara we learned.
 
Chazara-  We have a raffle every night for all those who reviewed the previous nights Gemara.

KEEP SHTEIGING!!
