Shabbat Shalom Rabbi Cohen will resume his weekly message next week. Wishing everyone a Chag Kasher Vesameach! | Remember to make an Eruv Tavshilin before the Chag begins.In order to allow foods prepared on yomtov to be eaten on shabbat, the Halacha requires an Eruv Tavshilin to be made. This entails a piece of matzah and an egg or piece of meat, reciting the bracha for Eruv Tavshilin and reciting the paragraph that accompanies the bracha. The two foods are then put away and eaten at the Shabbat day meal. For more info, visit http://www.aish.com/h/hh/rh/guide/48972096.html |
- Next Shabbat, there will be two Friday Night Mincha services at 6PM and 7PM
