SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
- Important halachic reminders written by R' Aryeh Frimer regarding Tisha Ba'av falling on Sat. night can be found on the Noticeboard (see "Digest.."). The Digest also contains various halachic times for the day, and times of t'fillot at Bermans.
- Tisha Ba'av Lecture and multimedia presentation by "Machon Megalim" [in Hebrew] at 17:15 on Tisha Ba'av July 26th, entitled “The good, the bad and the weak”. The presentation will take us back in time to the last ~50 years before the destruction of the first temple. Based on biblical, historical and current archeaological evidence, we will better understand the characters that played pivotal roles during the period leading up to the destruction. The plots, sub-plots, intrigues, prophesies and false prophesies will be brought to life, allowing us a better understanding of the “churban habayit”. The presentation will be roughly 1.5 hours in length. All are welcome. Hebrew flier on the Noticeboard.
