10 Updated Tips for Shabbat 
  1. Reach out to someone older or under quarantine. Let them know that they are not alone and that you are thinking of them.
  2. Print out a Torah idea today to share at the Shabbat Table. Here are four excellent resources: www.ou.org, www.aish.com, www.chabad.org, www.yutorah.org
  3. Pick up the phone. Think of some of the people you would normally see over Shabbat and speak with them. Join our Making Mitzvah Moments Whats App to mobilize to help people in need.
  4. Sing. Join Ruach and Renewal at 4:30 PM Friday with Rabbi Cohen and Jonathan Cahr on facebook - click here NEW - Join us for a Zoom Kabbalat Shabbat and sing with us. We'll call in at 7 PM and start promptly at 7:05pm.- zoom.us/j/8514043665 Dial in: (646) 568-7788, code: 8514043665 - Zoom password: 1234613
  5. If we can't daven together literally, let's at least daven together at the same time. We'll start our davening at home at 9am.
  6. We study Chapter 4 of Pirkei Avot this Shabbat. What is the definition of success? Read this article and reflect on these questions and their relevance to our lives: Who is truly happy? Who is truly strong? Who is truly wise? Who is truly wealthy?
  7. Torah Reading is Emor. Listen to the Torah Reading today at 3:30 PM. (Info below) Vayikra 21:1 - 24:23. Learn more about how to make sure we not only count the days of the Omer (featured in this week's Torah portion) but make the days count here. Check out this family feature and other Divrei Torah on Emor
  8. The Haftorah for Emor is Yechezkel, Ezekiel 44: 15-31). This week's Parsha discusses the laws of the Kohanim in the Mishkan, the Tabernacle, while the Jews were traveling for 40 years in the Sinai desert. Similarly, the Haftorah discusses the laws and tasks of the Kohanim who will serve in the Third and final Beit Hamikdash, Holy Temple. Check out the insights of the Haftorah Man - Reuben Ebrahimoff.
  9. Dress for Shabbat. We won't be in shul, but we can still accord Shabbat the dignity and kavod it so richly deserves by dressing as if we were going to shul.
  10. Think about someone you miss seeing in shul. Make a mental note to call him/her after Havdalah.

Virtual Youth Groups

Making Mitzvah Moments - Stamford Jewish Community What's App Group  A small act of kindness can change the world of one person. Join our Making Mitzvah Moments (MMM) group to assist people in our community. Whether for a shut in, the elderly, someone who is sick or others, there are small ways we can help and uplift each other. Here is the link and a feature on WNBC click here

Mitzvah Moment Opportunity  Purchase a Lawn Sign for $10 to say "Thank You" to doctors, nurses and healthcare workers. Click on this google doc. 100 percent of the donation will be given to getusppe.org, an organization coordinating the purchase and distribution of critical personal protective equipment to our healthcare workforce. Thank you to everyone who purchased thus far and more to go! Thank you Elior Parness for igniting the mitzvah of recognizing the heroes in our midst!

A Kiddush Hashem Opportunity  Our MMM is a vital way to spread more light during a challenging time and one focus is what we can do in the city of Stamford. ARI which provides housing for people with special needs is organizing a virtual walkathon this year. It is a great organization and one of our member families, the Lotsteins, were instrumental in founding and supporting ARI over the years. Our participation at any level is a meaningful way to create a kiddush Hashem, give hope and strength to our community and added benefit of course is the exercise. :) Details are in the link and thank you in advance for your Mitzvah support! https://arict.org/annual-walk-for-independence/

A Divine Drive By Mitzvah  Once a year, we can recite a special blessing for the first blossoms on a fruit tree. The ideal time is during the month of Nisan but you may recite the blessing in Iyar if you have not had the opportunity this season. Thank you to Michael and Debbie Berg for providing this Mitzvah Moment via their cherry tree. Drive by 26 Crane Rd North, roll down your window and make the blessing acknowledging God's renewal of the world. In the merit of our moments, may we experience hidden and open miracles of healing every day. You can find the bracha and background here.

Covid Update
Keilim Mikvah Update  While the Keilim Mikvah is closed, the Beth Din of America has established a mechanism to allow for the use of new utensils. This form was created by the Beth Din of America (www.bethdin.org) to allow individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic to sell kelim to a non-Jew and borrow them back to use for themselves. Since kelim owned by a non-Jew do not require immersion in a mikvah, this process allows for the use of the kelim without immersing them. You should complete this form only after the kelim are in your possession. click here
