Shavuot begins tonight. That's why my weekly Shab Sha!, with extensive articles and programming for Shavuot, is making its way to your inbox one day early. And don't forget that we will be offering 3 brief study sessions as part of our Erev Shavuot Zoom service tonight at 8:00pm. (And Yizkor is on Shabbat morning).
PLEASE NOTE: On many of your computers you may not even notice this at the bottom left:
If you don't click it, you will have missed the bulk of the Shab Sha!
How Are You Doing?
Would You Like a Zoom, FaceTime, or Phone Visit?
Call me or email me to set something up. kas
Mi SheBayrach
We make special prayers for those who are ill at every Shabbat Morning and Monday & Thursday Minyan. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have added a special Mi SheBayrach for those who have contracted the coronavirus.
You can add a name
(traditionally: Hebrew/Yiddish name and mother's Hebrew/Yiddish name, but we'll take English names and the names of those who are not Members of our Tribe) by calling or emailing me.
Or better yet: why not join us for the 9:00 am weekday morning minyan, and read the Psalm (in English) just before we include the name of your family member, friend or acquaintance in the Mi SheBayrach?

Don't Be Foolish!
Overcome any reluctance you may have to
go to hospital Emergency Departments due to the COVID-19 pandemic-especially if you suspect that you may have suffered
a potential heart attack or stroke
. Be assured that hospitals and their healthcare teams are continuing to care for all patients in a safe environment.

Torah Reading
Shavuot
A yearly tithe (ten percent) of all agricultural products must be spent by the farmer at the central religious shrine. The produce itself may be brought or it may be converted into money. Every third year an additional tithe must be distributed among the Levites, strangers, widows and orphans. In order to further assure the economic well-being of the disadvantaged, all loans are cancelled according to a seven-year cycle, and the Torah reminds us to exercise the greatest compassion and generosity when confronted with the plight of the poor. Released slaves are to be rewarded liberally for their loyalty and service. Eradication of poverty is the ideal to which everyone must aspire.
Unblemished, kosher firstborn male animals are to be brought as a sacrifice before God. Their meat is to be consumed by the farmer and his family.
We are reminded to observe the three pilgrimage festivals: Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot.
