¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Last week the world lost one of the most eminent spokesman for Torah, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz. I underscore the world for Rabbi Steinsaltz was successful in teaching Torah not just to the Orthodox Jewish community but to countless others as well. Most of our generation remember how as a trailblazer he opened the mysterious sea of the Talmud with a Hebrew translation (eventually in English as well) and laid the foundation for many clones thereafter. Hundreds of thousands of Torah students from all walks of life have seen their intellectual and spiritual worlds enhanced by his prolific and tireless efforts. In addition he spearheaded movements to teach Torah in Russia and transform chassidus into understandable and expressive language. He was a recipient of the Israel prize, taught countless classes, and radiated the “panim” of Torah wherever he went. He also had the unique ability to express the ethical and moral principles of Torah, without triumphalism and with great humility.

May his memory be a blessing.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.

Members Corner:

ROSH HASHANNAH/YOM KIPPUR:
Rosh Hashannah will be ushered in Friday evening September 18^th .
As the Covid-19 virus is causing major changes and uncertanty for the up-coming High Holiday schedules, we are trying to adapt and set our schedules for tefillos and create a safe environment for all of our members in the shul.

Working together with the CRC we have a tentative schedule for abridged tefillos that meet all halachik requirements and give us the feel of the awe of the time.

Attached is our annual membership/seat forms along with a special waiver of liability due to the virus. All reservations need to be received BEFORE SEPTEMBER 6^th or we will not be able to seat you. Reservation/purchase of seats and membership indicates your acceptance of this waiver.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS
Seats will be assigned to our regular daily and weekly attending members first. We are not equipped to have anyone under bar or bat mitzvah.

Please find the membership forms and waiver attached HERE.
