Dear Friends,
On Wednesday this week, I received a phone call from a Jew in Toronto whose mother recently past away. He is going to be in Victoria this Tuesday. He really tries to not miss any opportunity to say Kaddish, so he was wondering if we have a minyan for Mincha and Ma'ariv (afternoon and evening services), to which I replied that we don't have "at this time," but he is welcome to pray in our shul. And so we planned to meet in shul on Tuesday at 3:30 PM.
Two hours later, the phone rings again. A woman from Toronto is on the phone. Her daughter, who lives in Nanaimo, had a baby boy, and they requested if they can have the brit in our shul. "Could it be at 3:30PM?" she asked, "and one last thing - will you be able to get a Minyan?"...
So here I'm inviting you to participate this Tuesday, January 12, 3:30 PM, in Mincha service followed by a brit and Ma'ariv...and we need a Minyan....!
