In honor of the shloshim of Rabbi Ben Mintz z"l, Rabbi Adam Mintz gave two shiurim prior to Shavuot. Here are links to the recordings:

• Creativity in the Halakhic Process  
• From Darkness Unto Light: Yavneh as a Replacement for the Temple

On Wednesday, 5/19 Dr. Saul Weinreb led the weekly Halacha Shiur for the OSTNS Community Kollel. A link to the recording can be found here.

The proposed OSTNS draft budget for fiscal year 2022 is now available for viewing on our website at ostns.org/board (member login required), together with a cover memorandum.

Please note, the draft budget for Fiscal 2022 will be discussed with the community in a separate Zoom meeting to be scheduled in early June, and will be included on the agenda of the May 26 Annual Meeting. The Treasurer and others involved in preparing the budget will be available for questions during both of those times. We also seek your input by email (jburtconsulting@gmail.com) or phone (202-445-1568). Based on the information and evaluations resulting from this process, the final budget will be submitted to the new Board for review and final approval prior to the beginning of the Fiscal 2022 year on July 1, 2021.

The shul has two YouTube accounts which have recordings of past classes, shiurim, and events. They can be accessed here:

• Ohev Sholom Channel
• Rabbi Herzfeld's Channel
