As we continue through the pandemic we will be making adjustments in how we offer our programs and services online We offer our midweek (Sunday and Wednesday) minyanim only on the Zoom platform, not on LiveStream. We encourage those of you who attend via LiveStream to try the Zoom platform instead, and let us know if you need help. While we ask that you have your video on when you join the service (for security reasons) you can turn it off after that so you’ll be able to see without being seen.
|
|
If you would like the El Maleh Rachamim prayer said for a loved one, please email Cantor Jeff or Rabbi Schoenberg prior to services, but not on holidays or Shabbat.

To Livestream our services, go to www.thejewishcenter.org. Scroll down to the gold box on the right which will say "Go to livestream." Click on that. On the next page, a grey box will appear. Click on that as well. You will then see our main sanctuary. If we are live, just click the play button. Most often, the camera goes live 10-15 minutes before the service begins.
To join the services via ZOOM, click on the applicable Zoom link above. If you haven't used Zoom before, Zoom will ask you to download its software. Do, that, then follow instructions. Make sure that you enable your computer's audio and video, then mute your own microphone by clicking the icon at the bottom left corner of the window.

Picking up from where he left off, Moses exhorts the Israelites to follow G-d's commandments. Fear of neighboring nations or victories against such peoples are not valid excuses for lessening their devotion to G-d. The stakes for the people are high: they are about to enter “a good land” flowing with milk and honey where they will lack nothing, but it can all be taken away if they fail to serve G-d and give thanks.
Moses knows that the Israelites' track record is not good. He recalls how the people once brazenly built a molten calf for purposes of idolatry at the same time that he was receiving the commandments. G-d nevertheless gave Moses a new set of tablets of the Law to replace those he broke during the Golden Calf incident, and allows the march to the Promised Land to continue.
In order to conquer and maintain control of the land of Canaan, the Israelites must erase their stubbornness, provide for the needy, and worship G-d alone. If they do this and follow all of G-d’s laws and commandments, the land will produce prosperously; if they do not, the bounty will disappear and they will perish.
