Dear Neighbors and Friends:
Congregation Ahavas Moische, known to everyone as The Maple Street Shul, will be holding its annual Melave Malka on March 25, 2006, Motzei Shabbos Mevorchim Nissan, Parshas HaChodesh, the 25th of Adar 5766, at 612 Maple Street at 8:30 P.M.
At this year’s Melave Malka we are aspiring to raise the final $15,000 needed for the expenses incurred this past year as a result of the crumbling of the retaining wall located just beyond our Aron Kodesh. At the time of the wall’s collapse we were desperate to save our Shul from further damage which could have been caused by ensuing erosion and from government fines that would compound the cost of repair if we would not have been able to act quickly. With hard work and tribulations – and help from the Crown Heights community – that we have come to near completion of the re-construction of the wall, Boruch Hashem.
We have saved the Shul from residual damage which the collapsed wall could have caused. Now we are seeking to completer the project and save the Shul from financial damage as our budget strains to make the final payments.
