Information on Shabbat Morning Groups
Dear Young Families,
We are excited to announce that we will be having groups this summer! The Cik Family has graciously let us use their backyard as the location for our Mini Minyan and Tot Shabbat groups.The deadline to sign up is Wednesday with the first groups starting this Shabbat, June 20! The Cik's address will be provided after signing up.
The first shift of groups will run from 10:30-11:00 and the second shift from 11:10-11:40. There will be a signup sheet to sign up for a time slot. Only the first ten kids who have signed up will be allowed at a time. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Please make sure to have your kids go to the bathroom before they come and are fed and well hydrated. However, if necessary, the Cik's bathroom will be available. If there is over a 50% chance of rain we will have to cancel groups. Please bring your own blankets to sit on. Our goal is to have groups three out of four shabbatot a month. We ask that you please sign up for groups by Wednesday of each week. In order to keep everyone safe, we will need you to abide by the following protocols:
  1. There must be social distancing at all times.
  2. Only one parent per family can attend
  3. All parents will HAVE to wear masks as well as any child 4 and over
  4. During groups you will have to make sure your children are by your side at all times and keeping a social distance from others.
  5. Please bring your own blanket to sit on
  6. We please ask that when your group is over, you promptly leave with your children.

If you can agree to follow all these guidelines we are so excited for you to join us and recreate a fun and meaningful Shabbat experience for your kids! However, safety is of upmost importance and if rules are not being upheld and safety becomes a concern because of certain behaviors, one's ability to participate in groups will have to be reconsidered and re-evaluated.

Thank you to Shira Nerenberg, Alisa Weisser and Morah Elisheva for organizing a wonderful Tea, Torah and Trivia for our Seniors!

Mitzvah Moment Opportunity  Rav Kook writes: Do not complain of the darkness, increase the light. As many of you know, Marco Vuono, owner of Marco Jewelers on 6th Street in Stamford, was shot and killed in a robbery in late March. His store has been shut until June 8th. On Sunday, I met his son, David, who is shaken and trying to keep not only the store open, but his father's memory alive. Let's help him and the family not only financially but also in spirit. For the next 72 hours, lets create a flash mob of kindness in memory of Marco. The store is open by appt only via email at info@marcojewelers.net. Thank you in advance and together we can all increase the light. May Marco's memory be for a blessing.
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 keilim without immersing them. You should complete this form only after the kelim are in your possession.

Kaddish Update   As mentioned, Aish HaTorah will keep your loved one in mind for the recitation of Kaddish by signing up here but you may also submit the name to a standing minyan in the IDF. Sign up here

Community Prayers for Healing led by Rabbi Cohen  Sunday though Thursday 5:50 - 6:00 PM. Rabbi Cohen will lead in psalms 20 and 121, a brief meditation, Mi Shebreach.

Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would want to be included. May we all share good news in the very near future.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer. Join the OU everyday at 1 PM for a call to recite Psalms and hear words of inspiration. The phone number is (773) 249-0370. Whether on the call or not, recite Psalms 20, 121 and 130. Also, check out this innovative way to connect through Tehilim. https://abrahamslegacy.com/

Tzedakah and Financial Support This is a very trying time for people in our community. If you or you know someone who is in need of financial support for daily needs, please reach out to me. Our communication will of course be confidential and God willing, we can renew your spirit and offer vital support for you and your family. If you are able to contribute to the CAS charity fund, your assistance is needed now more than ever. Please reach out to Rabbi Cohen or Rabbi Zweiter for more information.

Supporting Local Establishments Please make every effort to support our local kosher and service establishments. They are hurting. Whether for food, dry cleaning, salons, or other stores, buying gift certificates now, for instance, can be a helpful way to help keep cash flowing and give them strength.May we share good news in the days ahead and thank you!
