Dear friend,
There's something very exciting happening in the Buffalo Grove Jewish community, and we would like to provide you the opportunity to become involved.  It's called BAY Shul which stands for Bais Ahavas Yisroel - House (that promotes) love of your fellow Jews.  Bais Ahavas Yisroel is an Orthodox synagogue that promises to be a new beginning for some and a recommitment for others.  At BAY Shul, you will find a warm, friendly synagogue that provides unique insight into Judaism and the world today.  How can one institution offer so much for so many?  The answer is simple…BAY Shul literally has something for everyone, no matter what your Jewish identity, level of observance or understanding of religious concepts.  Our goal is to provide a growth environment, with a strong emphasis on family and social programming. 
BAY Shul is located at 314 N. McHenry Road in Buffalo Grove, Illinois 60089. Enter by Baird and Warner, proceed upstairs, and follow the hallway to the right.

HALACHA HIGHLIGHTS. Memorable moments from Mishna Berura Yomi
Laws of Netilas Yadayim-hand washing
-one must remove anything (ie. rings) on the hand which may prevent water from reaching that place
-any dirt, paint, or dough that is stuck on the hand must be removed before washing
-when washing–one should be sure that the water touches all parts of the hands and fingers
-one should make sure that the water which is poured on the hands does not roll beyond the wrist and then back onto the hands
As a merit for the soul of Chaim Yehuda Leib ben Yosef Chaim z"l
