Although our synagogue doors our closed, our community is close and active as ever - thanks to the wonders of modern technology and the innovative efforts of our staff and members. Over the past six weeks, we have held more than 72 Zoom minyanim - morning and afternoon, every weekday. The live Passover Seder and Yizkor service were widely "attended." We have found new ways to learn, pray, socialize, and grow together.
My weekly class, Socially Distant or Spiritually Closer, is held every Wednesday at 6pm, before the afternoon service. We are currently delving into understanding the structure of the prayerbook, history of the prayers, and the templates for each of the daily services.
Kol Hakavod to Shamai Leibowitz and Niv Leibowitz for facilitating our first public Torah reading in seven weeks! Please tune in on Thursdays at 6pm, before the afternoon service, for a live Torah reading and Parasha discussion.

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy. Wishing you a peaceful and restful Shabbat.
