With Yom Yerushalayim and Shavuot coming up, there are some programs and resources that I would like to share. Please scroll down for flyers and images.
Forest Hills Yom Yerushalayim Program - Hosted by Havurat Yisrael, will take place on Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 PM. Click Here Meeting ID: 910 766 9261 Password: 265203 By Phone: 646-558-8656 9107669261#, 1#,265203#
Reminder that we do not say Tachanun on Thursday night or Friday. Hallel should be recited Friday morning.
Please remember to submit your Dvar Torah for the QJC Shavuos Reader by Sunday night (latest Monday) if you are interested! Please contact Rabbi Kerbel if you are intersted. We look forward to providing this compilation of Divrei Torah to our community.
Special QJC Yom Yerushalayim/Shavuos shiur with Rabbi Shalom Hammer - Sunday, May 24 at 11:30 AM. Moshiach Revealed - Who is the Moshiach and How Will He Reveal Himself? Sponsored by Naomi Nussbaum Antis and Jack Nussbaum, in memory of their dear parents, Miriam & Harry Nussbaum (z’ l).
Pre-Tikkun Leil Shavuos Shiur with Rabbi Kerbel followed by Yizkor will take place Wednesday evening, May 27. Topic and times for both TBD. The regular Tuesday night shiur will take place iy"H. See below for Zoom information for both shiurim.
Please also check out the following Torah resources:
While I don't guarantee how long shipping will take, you may still be able to order Shavuot related books from Koren/Maggid and Artscroll.
Please see the HaMizrachi collection of Divrei Torah for Yom Yerushalayim and Shavuot.
Please see the YU-to-Go for Shavuot, with articles that pertain to this particularly challenging time.
The OU has put together a website called "Sinai at Home." You can print out source sheets to learn over Shavuot. Some have English translations and some do not.
In addition to our special shiur on Sunday morning, please check out the Vayichan program that will take place on Sunday, featuring tons of dynamic speakers from across the Orthodox spectrum, helping us to prepare for Kabbalat Ha-Torah. Numerous shiurim will take place between 10am-2pm, although we hope you will join us for our shiur at 11:30am.
On another note, I would like to appeal an important tzedakah intiative that started recently, called Daily Giving. You can pledge the equivalent of just one dollar a day, or more if you like, to tzedakah, charged on a monthly or yearly basis. The money goes on a rotating basis to many important and worthy tzedakot both here and in Eretz Yisrael that are aligned with our shul's values and/or benefit us - these include Misaskim, Hatzalah, NASCK, and Chazaq (there are over three dozen organizations total).
Please stay healthy and safe, and feel free to reach out any point with anything I can be helpful with.
