I know many people don’t like to stretch. But this stretching is critical to make your Purim special.

Purim Meal: Get dressed in Shabbos clothing. We all know that when we are dressed up nicely the meal reflects that. This has nothing to do with the Monday night meal at the Centre where the more Mexican you look the better!

Charity on Purim: Make out your cheques to the Jewish Herit-age Foundation from $18 and up, to do Matanos L’evyonim (Gifts to the Poor) through me. Please make certain that your cheques get to me no later Tuesday morning (March 10th) at 8:00 AM.

Shalach Manos - Send at least one food basket to someone that is out of your comfort zone. An old friend that you lost touch with or someone you see at the Centre but don’t really social-ize with.

Megillah - Make sure you hear the Megillah once on Monday night after the fast and once on Tuesday during the day.

BE HAPPY - Don’t overthink on Purim; be happy that you are Jewish and that HaShem is proud of your smallest of accom-plishments.

Be Jewish, Live Jewish, Stay Jewish

UPCOMING PHOTO OF THE WEEK:

Novel Coronavirus 19 Message:

As members of the FHJC community are well aware, Covid-19, formerly known as the novel coronavirus,

is slowly spreading beyond the borders of China. Baruch HaShem, so far, only a small number of con-

firmed cases have occurred within the entire country of Canada. At this time, the Shul is monitoring the

situation carefully, and will continue to operate all programs as scheduled. In the event that the spread

of the virus grows within the GTA, the Shul will update the membership as it relates to regular Shul pro-

gramming.

At this time, we kindly ask that any member who has recently travelled, for business or pleasure, to a

heavily infected area, such as China, South Korea, Italy, Germany or Japan, to refrain from attending

Shabbat services, or other Shul programming for 2 weeks after they have returned. In the event you

need to attend services, we recommend you consult with your family physician before attending ser-

vices at the Shul.

The FHJC asks people to observe the following protocols:

Individuals feeling ill or experiencing symptoms of the cold or flu should stay home and, if necessary,

seek medical attention.

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, rubbing hands together with soap, lather for at

least 20 seconds before rinsing.

Please use of alcohol sanitizer if soap is not available. Make certain that all surfaces of your hands

are covered.

Please avoid hand-shaking, hugging, and kissing.

Kissing of the Torah, Mezuzahs and Siddurim are activities that are being discouraged.

Cover your cough or sneeze, preferably with a tissue that is immediately disposed of, or minimally,

into your sleeve.

Please wash your hands immediately after sneezing.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Shabbat
