¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨
It has been just about one year since we at the Motele Shul along with the other synagogues of our community shut down due to the pandemic. Even after opening after Pesach, life has not returned to normal. Attendance is down, masks must be worn throughout the building, services are truncated, and the pandemic is far from over. This week we conclude the reading of Sefer Shemos. We take a full accounting of the inventory and assets of the mishkan and all of its moving parts. At the same time we take our own accounting not just in filing our tax returns but as we are to usher in Chodesh Nisan we begin to rid ourselves of the chometz and enter a period of purity of soul and mind. Let us hope that as we burn the chometz we will leave Covid far behind and welcome Chodesh Nisan with health and prosperity. Chazak, Chazak, V’nischazak.
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.
