SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS תזכורות, אירועים ופעילויות של בית הכנסת

• **Tonight** Rabbi Professor Aryeh Frimer will be back with part 2 of his lectures on Corona-Related Halakhic Issues. In this second shiur, he will focus on four main issues: (1) the use of Zoom in various Jewish rituals; (2) the Zoom Seder controversy; (3) Shabbat use of automatic infrared thermometers; and (4) the recitation of Magen Avot on erev Shabbat in non-permanent minyanim. The Shiur will be in English via Zoom on Thursday evening, July 23 at 20:45. The link to the shiur is as follows: Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/94219511802?pwd=SEZKRUNQdmNQZ1MwZ0swbzZNSTV0QT09 Meeting ID: 942 1951 1802 Password: 217913

Tisha Be'av:

• Fast starts (July 29) 19:39; Maariv, Eicha, Kinnot 20:10 (without explanations or discussion). (July 30) Shacharit and very abbreviated Kinnot 6:30 AM (NOTE CHANGE IN TIME FROM CALENDAR); Mincha 19:10; Maariv 19:50; Fast ends 20:00. All Tfillot are OUTSIDE, and will be limited to the numbers governing such gatherings at that time (currently 20 per area). See below for information regarding broadcast of Eicha and Kinnot via Zoom, and several Zoom lectures during the day. We remind you that shul siddurim and Kinnot books may not be used. Applications and websites with the Tefillot, Eicha, and Kinnot can be found online, for example App called 'Kinnot Tish Be'av Ashkenaz', and website at: http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=131
• Live stream and lectures. This year, although we are faced with limitations on our 'in-house' (but outside) davening, we are providing a program which we hope will address some of the desire and need for communal activity:
  20:10 Eicha and Kinnot Tisha Be'av night will be broadcast over Zoom for those who can’t make it to shul https://zoom.us/j/96463076249?pwd=NndlMkx5T3N4N2VVYVh2aTVpMFc3Zz09. Meeting ID: 964 6307 6249 Passcode: 793753. In the morning, we will daven outside shul, and those attending shacharit will have ample time to return home for extended Kinnot [which will be led by R' Aryeh Frimer from his home], and other lectures, all via Zoom:
  9:00 – 9:45 shiur on the Agadot Churban (in Hebrew) by Rav Mottie Goldreich.
  10:00–11:00 Kinot with explanations by Rav Aryeh Frimer. The link for both lectures is: https://zoom.us/j/99816232536?pwd=djBuR1BuNjk2WDhBUGdVQ2ZtMWR5Zz09
  17:00 “From Glory to Destruction” Dr. Asaf Mills from Machon Megalim. https://zoom.us/j/93162028710?pwd=diszb1BoSmRLTUVIMXBydnFQb09qUT09
• The text of the Kinah "Hazocher" for Tisha Be'av, commemorating those who were murdered in the Holocaust, may be found on the Noticeboard.
• Next week's bulletin will be sent out late Thursday, after the fast. In case Moshiach arrives on Tisha Be'av this year, it would be a shame for the announcement to miss the bulletin. צום קל ומועיל

Other:

• Wanted- Shlichei Tzibbur for the Yamim Noraim. We cannot predict the future, but it’s safe to assume that the upcoming Yamim Noraim will be very different than past years’. The Shul is committed to maximizing people’s opportunity to participate in davening over the High Holidays and is therefore planning to convene in small minyanim in compliance with such Ministry of Health regulations that may be in place at the time. To do that, the Shul needs more Baalei Tefilla to daven before the amud. We do not yet know how many additional minyanim will be formed, or where they will take place. Along with all the safety considerations, it will depend on how many baalei Tefilla are available to help out this year. Anyone interested in davening Shacharit or Mussaf over the Yamim Noraim should please be in touch with Daniel Schwartz at cantordbsesq@gmail.com.
• A video recording of Wednesday night's lecture in memory of Avi Kanon z'l by Dr. Michal Paz Shimony may be seen at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rGqqL9RwxuT4m370kDuqrQ8hjka5yQJl?usp=sharing
• Kaddish. Daniel Schwartz is available to say Kaddish on behalf of people unable to come to shul. Please email Daniel at cantordbsesq@gmail.com with the name of the person for whom you are saying Kaddish, and he will do so at the morning minyan.
