As we continue through the pandemic we will be making adjustments in how we offer our programs and services online.
For the month of July
we’ll be offering 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.

Moses recounts to the Israelites his plea that G-d allow him to enter the Promised Land. G-d refuses to reverse Moses's punishment, but says that he will be permitted to see the land from afar.
Noting how G-d had struck down Israelite idolaters at Baal-Peor, Moses urges the people to follow G-d's wise and appropriate commandments. At several points, Moses speaks to the people as if they, and not their parents, had witnessed the revelation at Mount Sinai.
After designating several cities of refuge in Transjordan, Moses resumes speaking to the Israelites by repeating − almost verbatim − the Ten Commandments and the core demands of the Covenant, as well as the people’s initial frightened reaction.
The people must remember that there is only one G-d, and that their devotion must be absolute and touch every aspect of their lives. They must not grow lazy in their observance, nor should they test God, lest they feel the wrath of G-d's anger
