התו הירוק חל על
בית הכנסת הזה. יש לעטות מסיכה המכסה את הפה ואת האף בכל
עת בתוך המבנים הסגורים של בית הכנסת. דרישה זו תיאכף בקפדנות. אנו
מבקשים ומציעים לשמור על מרחק נאות בזמן הקידוש (בחוץ) ומזכירים לכם
שההשתתפות והסיכון הכרוך בה הינם באחריותכם האישית בלבד. כמובן, ככל
שאינך חש בטוב, גם אם אתה מחוסן ו/או מחלים, אין להשתתף בפעילות בית
הכנסת. פרטים אודות דרישות התו הירוק באתר משרד הבריאות כאן

- Aravot
will be on sale at the Shul Monday morning for Hoshana
Rabba (Shacharit at 6:30).

- Holiday
guides. Like the High Holidays, Sukkot is a period
rich with mitzvot, custom and ritual, personal and communal.
This year, the need to minimize the possibility of Corona
contagion and hence, the duration of physical contact in Shul,
make it necessary to shorten the duration of the Sukkot Davening
and maintain social distancing. The Halakha Committee of the
Shul has drawn up guidelines to facilitate this goal – which
will be implemented over the Sukkot Holiday. The guides can be
seen at the below links or on the Noticeboard.
(1) Guidelines for Shortening the Sukkot
5782 Davening
On a personal level, many find the plethora of Mitzvot and rich
details of the Sukkot Holiday challenging. In addition, because
of Covid-19, many individuals have chosen to pray completely or
partially be-yehidut (in the absence of a minyan). To this end,
Rabbi Aryeh Frimer has drafted the guides below which will
hopefully assist congregants in navigating through the various
issues.
(2) A Sukkot 5782 Corona Guide to Prayer and
Ritual
Questions stemming from any of these documents may be referred
to Rabbi Frimer at the following email address: Aryeh.Frimer@biu.ac.il
Beyond the Chagim:
- Donations
to the shul: Please note that donations of cash to
the shul will not receive a receipt. The money will be placed in
the box used by the Gabbaim to be distributed directly to the
poor. Tax Deductible Receipts: Checks, Direct
bank transfer, and Credit Cards (preferred) will all be given
tax receipts. The most efficient and fastest method to receive a
tax receipt is to use credit cards at the following link: https://secured.israelgives.org/en/pay/BermanDonation.
This link contains a dropdown button to choose the purpose of
the donation. Donors receive a tax deductible receipt within a
few minutes by email. If you have not yet paid for your
membership/seats, please do so.
- Kids
who meet green pass requirements are welcomed inside shul at
all minyanim. This includes kids under age 3, and
kids of any age who are immunized, recovered, or have a valid
negative Corona test. If you are still unsure how to apply these
rules, contact Pearl Herskovitz by WhatsApp only [050-626-4790],
and not after 10:00 PM. Masks covering the nose and
mouth must be worn by all attendees over age 6.
- Tallit
Lost on Shabbat Parashat Nitzavim. If someone
accidentally took a Tallit (white stripes and handmade fringes)
from outside the bathroom on Shabbat Parashat Nitzavim (Sept
4th), please return it to David Barkai (054-2549297) or one of
the Gabbaim.
- Please
remember to send in all מי שברך requests by Thursday
to Gabbai@bermanshul.org
or say the name quietly when the מי שברך is read; last-second
requests during davening will NOT be honored except in
exceptional cases.
