Our Community- Shul (Synagogue)

Shul is very important in the Jewish community.

If a baby is born in the family- we go to shul. 

If a baby needs to get a name- we go to shul.

For Bar Mitzva and Bat Mitzva- we go to shul.  

For Shabbos and yom tovs- we go to shul. 

 Friends met with Rabbi Dovid Okonov. He showed friends , some precious things- 

Aron Koddesh and precious Torah scrolls in beautiful covers and crowns, 

tallises, siddurs and many books.  Friends asked Rabbi Dovid what is his job? 

Rabbi Dovid said that his job is very important. He makes sure that help is given to everyone in need. 

If anyone needs advice- Rabbi is there to help; 

if anyone needs a mezuzah on the door- Rabbi is there to help. 

Friends wanted to know what Rabbi does when he is not in shul? 

Rabbi Dovid, first of all, is a father. He takes care of his family. 

But when he has some free time, he learns Torah. 

Rabbi needs to learn a lot in order to teach others.
