Friday 9:00am - 12noon

DAVENING and TOGETHERNESS While minyanim are suspended because of our commitment to preserving good health, we can give one another an emotional and spiritual boost by davening at the same times, whenever possible.

Recommended times for Weekday Shacharit : 7:30, 8:00 & 8:30 am

Times for Weekday Mincha: the Earliest time is 1:51pm

Recommended times for Weekday Mincha: 6:25pm & 7:45pm

Recommended time for Weekday Ma’ariv: After 8:31 (Tzait) After 7:54 (Shkiah)

Note: During the spring and summer months we rely on the leniency to daven Ma’ariv after Plag when physically davening with a minyan. When a minyan is not available, the earliest Ma’ariv should begin, Sunday-Thursday, is after sunset (see times above). In order to extend the holiness of Shabbat, we may daven Friday’s Shabbat Ma’ariv after Plag, this week after 6:31pm. One doing so should daven Mincha before Plag.

May our united prayers bring added blessings to our community and Klal Yisrael.

CDC Tips for Social Distancing Follow guidance from authorities where you live. If you need to shop for food or medicine at the grocery store or pharmacy, stay at least 6 feet away from others. Use mail-order for medications, if possible. Consider a grocery delivery service. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others, including when you have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store. Stay at least 6 feet between yourself and others, even when you wear a face covering. Avoid large and small gatherings in private places and public spaces, such a friend’s house, parks, restaurants, shops, or any other place. This advice applies to people of any age, including teens and younger adults. Children should not have in-person playdates while school is out.. Work from home when possible. If possible, avoid using any kind of public transportation, ridesharing, or taxis. If you are a student or parent, talk to your school about options for digital/distance learning. Stay connected while staying away. It is very important to stay in touch with friends and family that don’t live in your home. Call, video chat, or stay connected using social media. Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations and having to socially distance yourself from someone you love can be difficult.

Addressing the Needs of our Membership

I encourage each member to be a partner in helping to identify needs in our Shul family that we are able to address. If you, or someone you know, is ill, in need of a phone call or shopping help, or would benefit from counseling, please share this information, as permitted by individual aspects of confidentiality. I am available, as well as Bikur Cholim and the social workers from Jewish Family Services and MorseLife with whom we maintain ongoing partnerships, to help address personal needs. Our Bikur Cholim contact is chairperson Bayla Ackerman, (845) 461-5405.
