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 5 of Pirkei Avot this Shabbat. You can study the text here. What is true love? Beyond Princes Bride, how does Judaism characterize a love that endures the test of time? Check out this article Love is a Choice: Not a Conclusion by Rabbi David Aaron
  7. Torah Reading is Bahar and Bechokotai. Listen to the Torah Reading today at 3:30 PM. (https://zoom.us/j/8636117937 - password: 496585 or call 646-558-8656, 8636117937) Vayikra 25:1 - 27:34 The last parsha of Vaiykra contains the Toachacha, the rebuke against the Jewish people. Yet as always God seeks our return to him though 4 vehicles: Torah, Prayer, Kindness and Love of Israel. Notice the order of God's strategy. What is the significance? The insight provided by Rabbi Meir Shapiro, founder of Daf Yomi is deeply relevant to our current situation and the upcoming holiday of Yom Yerushalayim. Click here, here and here.
  8. The Haftorah this week is from Jeremiah 16:19-17:14. This Haftorah contains one of the most well known verses in Tanach about faith. Jeremiah states: Blessed is the one who trusts in God and to whom God will be his trust. This prophet exhorts us to always remember that our success is not only due to our efforts but God's gifts. Check out the insights of 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.

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

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.

Welcome  to Rachel and Elie Weiner and Theresa and Elie Herman and their families who recently moved into our community

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

Ask the Therapist with Dr. Danielle Thau  Sunday, May 17th at 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM. The Covid19 Pandemic is stressful for everyone. There are shared concerns and individual ones, practical and abstract ones. We know that verbalizing worries and strengthening coping strategies helps minimize the strain on our bodies and helps to protect our relationships. Dr. Danielle Thau, Psy.D. who has been in practice in Stamford for 20 years, specializesin Medical Crisis Therapy, will answer questions on a community Mental Health Call to help manage the worries we are facing. Please send questions in advance to Dr. Thau at dcmthau@gmail.com. Zoom Info: https://zoom.us/j/7052940733, Password: 015824, (646) 558-8656, code: 7052940733
