SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS תזכורות, אירועים ופעילויות של בית הכנסת

• Motzaei Tisha Be-Av this year falls on Thursday (this evening), so that the 10th of Av is Erev Shabbat. In this case, haircuts, shaving and washing clothes are permissible this evening in honor of Shabbat. Bathing and showering in HOT water should preferably be put off until Friday morning. However, if bathing will be impractical or if the hot water supply will be inadequate on Friday, it is permissible to do so on Thursday evening. Music and swimming are not considered likhvod Shabbat and, hence, remain prohibited until Friday after midday (Hatzot, 12:47 PM), [from R' Arye Frimer].
• Wanted- Shlichei Tzibbur for the Yamim Noraim. We cannot predict the future, but it’s safe to assume that the upcoming Yamim Noraim will be very different than past years’. The Shul is committed to maximizing people’s opportunity to participate in davening over the High Holidays and is therefore planning to convene in small minyanim in compliance with such Ministry of Health regulations that may be in place at the time. To do that, the Shul needs more Baalei Tefilla to daven before the amud. We do not yet know how many additional minyanim will be formed, or where they will take place. Along with all the safety considerations, it will depend on how many baalei Tefilla are available to help out this year. Anyone interested in davening Shacharit or Mussaf over the Yamim Noraim should please be in touch with Daniel Schwartz at cantordbsesq@gmail.com.
