Do to the COVID-19 virus, our shul remains temporarily closed until further notice as per the CDC guidelines. Our stay at home orders were extended to May 31 and we hope to be together again as soon as possible.

Update: Although the State of Illinois has relaxed the restrictions and is allowing gatherings of 10 people, and some other shuls have already started minyanim, the CRC, OU and RCA in conjunction with infectious disease experts have reiterated their collective opinion to wait at least 2 weeks after the next phase of our State’s reopening plan to see if at that time it would be safe to resume minyanim.
The mitzvah to protect ourselves is paramount to any of the other mitzvos including tefilla b’tzibur.
Anshe Motele will follow those guidelines and remain closed.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It is hard to imagine the Bnei Yisroel nation on a forty year journey through the Sinai Desert. Yet this is exactly the picture painted for us in this week’s Parasha. We learn of the encampments, the opening and closing as they prepared to travel, the layers of protection and the spiritual growth necessary for physical advancement. Certainly we should be able to relate to the importance of physical safety in order to protect our spiritual souls and we pray that soon we will all be able to embark on our own individual and communal journeys back at shul.

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.
