Passover Service times and information, including Fast of the Firstborn, can be found here.

On Tuesday, April 15, morning minyan will be at 8:30AM, followed by Matzo Brei Making with Dave Cohen

At this time we are adding additional prayers for the state of Israel to our services. One meaningful prayer can be found here.

Special Instructions for Shabbat/Holidays:
We don’t want to encourage people to use electronic devices on Shabbat and want to minimize any potential violations of Shabbat for those who seek to participate. With this in mind, please download the Zoom app (for phones or tablets) and the siddur (and print out) before Shabbat.

Logging in for Friday night services before Shabbat and leaving the Zoom on is not a violation of Shabbat. We have set up streaming so the same room will remain active through all of Shabbat or a holiday. This means your household can join services Friday night and remain on through all remaining services. It is possible to set a computer, phone or tablet to “stay awake” over Shabbat (see below). However, if you are doing this, it is key that you log in from a room in your house where activities and noise will not be a disruption to others.

How to have your computer/tablet not turn off over Shabbat:

Make sure it is plugged into power.
For iPhone/iPad, in settings, under display and brightness, set auto-lock to never.
For PC, click here.
For Mac, in Control Panel, under “Desktop and Screen Saver,” change “Start After” to "Never."
