Upcoming YIB Events
Fast of 17 Tamuz and “The Three Weeks”
“The Three Weeks” begin Sunday, July 13, with the fast of Shiva Asar B'Tamuz. More information on the Laws and Customs of “The Three Weeks” from 17 Tamuz to Tisha B'Av can be found by clicking here.
As always, a person should not fast if there is any medical concern, before consulting a doctor and Rabbi Hellman.
May we soon see the day when these fasts are turned into days of celebration.
Together on Tuesdays
Tuesdays, 1:00 PM, at YIB: Most Tuesdays at 1:00 PM, YIB is hosting a lunch with learning and discussion. The program, which is a project of YIB's NaTaN Committee, is entitled "Together on Tuesdays" and is open to all, but specifically designed for retirees and senior members of the community to stay connected, see friends, and enjoy a stimulating program. Each week the group reads, studies and discusses a story from the Talmud and the lessons that it conveys.
Please share this program with others even if they are not members of YIB. If you have any questions, suggestions, or would need a ride to get to the program, please contact Donna Lupatkin (dlupatkin@aol.com) or Rabbi Hellman.
This program was made possible by a grant from the Brookline Community Foundation.
Shabbat Youth Groups
Shabbat, 10:00 AM: Youth Groups for boys and girls Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Youth groups for boys in grades 3-5 are on a summer break.

YIB's Learning and Video Platform
We are very excited to announce our learning and video platform which can be found at yibrookline.yuja.com. You can find divrei Torah and classes from Rabbi Hellman, members of the community, and many visiting teachers. Watch a featured video, browse the organized library of different series of classes, or search the library for a topic or person. We will be continuing to add video and audio recordings, so check it out and send any feedback to Rabbi Hellman.
The development of the new website was supported by a gift from the Zimble family in appreciation for all the wonderful Torah received at YIB over many years and in the hope of continuing connections to the YIB community from afar.
