BID N’ BUY AUCTION - Save the Date Sunday, December 7th at 1PM in the MPR.
No time like the present to clean closets, garages, or any other storage areas to donate unneeded merchandise to the auction. Just call or text Gary Huniu at 714-855-6787, to schedule an appointment for the merchandise pickup. Men’s Club relies on congregants support to make the auction a success. If you frequent certain vendors or have family or friends with a business, Men’s Club can provide tax deductible documentation, to serve as a receipt for their donation. Everyone can participate in the auction, either by in person attendance or by proxy bidding. Contact Gary Huniu at 714-855-6787 to obtain proxy bidding details.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU THINK ABOUT HASHEM?
How often do you think about our Lord and Creator? For most of us probably not as often as we would like, until Shabbat is near or upon us. To put this time interval dilemma in perspective, it is a well-known fact that men think about sex 19 times a day, and women 10 times a day. What is wrong with this picture? Apparently, the cart is before the horse. So how can we rearrange this picture, so the end result has the horse put ahead of the cart?
We all face time pressures, sometimes in the form of unreasonable demands, in regards to our daily responsibilities. Children have to be waken, in order to get to school on time. Care must be taken to get the children to their after school activities on time. Family meals have to be planned. Traffic conditions have to be monitored, so you can get to work on time. Job demands can be intense, deadlines must be met, in order for career advancement to take place. This goal is essential to the benefit and welfare of the family. Leisure time must be allotted to unwind, in the form of the weekly
bowling league or the weekly Mah Jongg game.
Here are some helpful suggestions to get you to squeeze some more time to think about Hashem in your busy
schedules. Wear a necklace chain depicting a Star of David, Hamsa, Chai or other Jewish traditional symbols. Locate a synagogue who maintains a daily Minyan. Wear a Tallit Katan, an under garment with Tzitzit, fringes on the four corners, which serve as a constant reminder of G-d’s commandments. Finally, down load a copy of the Holy Scriptures to your computer or cell phone. Read a chapter a day of the Torah and or the Bible. This is a way to build a storehouse of knowledge to help you to resolve situations and decisions you will face in your daily lives.
By allowing for more time to think about Hashem, you are creating a path to either establish a divine connection or reinforce an existing one. To cement and further strengthen your divine connection, Hashem asks from you a few simple requests. Fear the Lord our G-d, love the Lord our G-d with all your heart and soul, and observe and do all of Hashem’s commandments. You would do well to cloak yourself inside the garment of your divine connection. By doing so, you are prepared to receive Hashem’s protection and blessings. It sure makes life a lot easier.
Shalom!
