FOR WOMEN:

Shabbos’ Women’s Tehillim: Please join together “virtually” this Shabbos afternoon, 4:00 to recite Tehillim. It is more important now than ever that our community comes together for this all important service. May HKB”H answer our tefillos speedily.

Please do not reply to this email, the address is not monitored.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Chazal (our Sages) tell us that even if Asarah Beteves were to occur on Shabbos we would commemorate the fast on that very day. The realization that the beginning of the Churban (destruction of the Beis Hamikdash) was in itself a tragedy of epic proportions should not be lost on any one of us. The very fact that the Jewish people lost their right of movement, human dignity, and religious expression serves as reminder the galus (exile) that we should integrate in our lives as well. Our current predicament of social isolation due to covid pandemic is a small reminder of the human suffering of our ancestors. May Hashem bring about a speedy geulah (redemption) soon.

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.
