FOR WOMEN:

Shabbos’ Women’s Tehillim: Please join together “virtually” this Shabbos afternoon, 5:00 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¨

Shemini Atzeret/Simchas Torah is a fitting conclusion to these past seven and half weeks which began on Rosh Choesh Elul. Our prayers were very different yet very much the same. While we fast forwarded much of the tefillot we nevertheless prayed with as much if not more intensity than ever before. The covid pandemic has brought to the fore the temporariness of life and the importance of treating each day as gift from Hashem. Thus the simcha of Simchas Torah will hopefully be experienced emotionally even though we will not dance as usual. We pray that simcha will overcome despair and we will be experience geula speedily in our times.

Good Shabbos and Chag Someach.
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.
