Rabbi Howard Morrison

Dear Congregational Family,

Pesach is now exactly one week away. Sadly, it does not seem that Covid-19 will pass over before Passover. I am reminded from Torah that the Israelites were spared during the last plague because they stayed indoors. How imperative it is during this contemporary 21st century plague that we stay indoors as much as possible and completely for our elderly and vulnerable.

Please electronically get in your sale of Chametz forms by Tuesday night April 7. I will be selling your Chametz Wednesday morning April 8. You are on your own to dispose of your chametz. The texts can be found on the shul website.

We are now simulcasting prayer and classes on Zoom and Facebook Live. If you have any difficulty accessing Zoom, please try Facebook live. While Zoom enables us to see each other and interact, the davenings and classes remain on Facebook after the actual presentation for those who missed it the first time.

Our shul building will sadly be closed during Pesach. As a traditional shul, we do not livestream prayer on an actual Shabbat or Yom Tov. With this in mind, Cantor Guber and I will officiate a Yizkor Service on Zoom on the last day of Chol Ha'Moed, Tuesday April 14 at 9:30am.

I am grateful to the clergy team, office staff, and entire congregation for participating in the vastness of our outreach efforts.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay well. Better days are coming.

Rabbi Howard Morrison
