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.

After zealously stopping the Israelite plague at Baal-Peor, Pinhas is rewarded with a Divine covenant of friendship, which will be passed down to his priestly descendants. G-d commands Moses to defeat the Midianites for their role in the Israelites' recent idolatry.
Moses and Eleazar, the High Priest, are commanded to take a census of Israelites aged 20 and over -- an accounting of the children of the Exodus generation. Only Joshua and Caleb will experience both the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan.
The five daughters of Zelophehad ask that the inheritance of their father – who did not have a son – be given to them. G-d grants the request, setting a future precedent.
Knowing that his days are numbered, Moses asks G-d to assign a successor. Following G-d's directive, Moses lays his hands upon Joshua, ordaining him as the next Israelite leader through whom G-d will speak.
The details of sacrificial offerings for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, Passover, Shavuot, Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Shmini Atzeret are outlined.
