Heights Jewish Center Synagogue Posts
As we approach Pesach and the freedom this Holiday represents, some of you are wondering what plans to make for davening at HJCS. We have been very fortunate that our policy of following CDC guidelines – masking, distancing, and washing- have been successful in preventing anyone from contracting Covid 19 in our building. Going forward, we will continue to follow the guidelines of the Ohio department of health. This means that congregants and their visitors to Cleveland, whether vaccinated or not, should practice appropriate public health measures to slow the spread of COVID 19, such as wearing masks, practicing physical distancing (we have seats blocked off and marked for occupancy), and hand washing.
Please pay careful attention to the following in order that everyone feels safe and comfortable in shul:
-Anyone with known exposure to COVID 19 should not attend services (and should not travel at all).
-Anyone with symptoms typical of COVID 19 should not attend services.
As we review the impact of the last year of isolation, HJCS has experienced a major reduction to income, thru reduced rentals, sponsored events, and general reduction in member’s ability to keep up with donations. When you receive your stimulus check, please think of HJCS when calculating your ma’aser.
Comments closedHello everyone,
I wanted to let you know about our program at HJC this Shavuos.
The Tikun Leil Shavuos will start at approximately 12:30am.
The topics will be all about the Chain of the Mesorah, from Moshe Rabbeinu till today.
This will all be based on the Rambam’s introduction to the Mishneh Torah, copies of said introduction which will be provided. This short work covers many topics, such as the nature of Torah she’baal Peh, Jewish history, rabbinic authority, among other issues.
If you prefer to think of the night in the language of what sefer we’ll be learning, it’s the Rambam’s introduction to Mishneh Torah.
If you prefer to think of the night in terms of a series classes, I’ve written an approximate series of titles below.
The schedule listed here is somewhat approximate.
12:30am-2am: Part One: Torah and Talmud in the days of Moshe and Tanach.
2am-3am: Torah Law during Bais Sheini until the compiling of the Mishna.
3am-4am: The Mishna and Talmud and related Seforim
4am-5am: Halacha and Torah thought after the final editing of the Talmud Bavli.
There will be breaks between each class, and coffee and snacks available throughout the night.
Shacharis will begin at 5:20am. Sunrise is at 5:53am.
There will be another Shacharis at 9am. Sof Zman Krias Shema is 9:39am.
Wishing you all a Good Shabbos and a Good YomTov
Rabbi Davidovich
RD
