  1. There was much confusion at my shul tonight when to Daven Maariv. Most people did at the regular time and many people did 10 minutes later. It felt really good to do so for the war effort in Israel.

    2. The sign hanging in shuls clearly says to be mosif motzia shabbos. [ Look at friday's news updates]. Why "Lemaan Hashabbos" chose that as opposed to being mosif erev shabbos yesh leayin.

    2. How about no campaigns? Just you do what you think you need to do. Fix what you need to fix.
      Learning Hilchos Shabbos, preparing for the Seuda so you don't waste the opportunities of the Seuda, come early to davening on Shabbos, learn more on Shabbos (don't buy newspapers/magazines can help), visit an elderly neighbor or relative, sing in the Shabbos with the children, cook an extra kugel.

      But no campaigns.
