HJC News - Shoftim

Mazel Tov to Phil and Kim Setnik on Zaki's recent engagement.

Important message:
The times for this Shabbos are listed below.
HOWEVER, unless enough people reply to this email and confirm that they plan to attend Mincha tonight at 7:00pm, and Mincha tomorrow at 7:50pm, there will not be a minyan for Mincha today or tomorrow.  Please reply to this email as early in the day as you can, to confirm your attendance at each of our Shabbos minyanim.  We hope to be able to send out an email later today that we have enough people for both Minchas.  

There are two times listed as "earliest candle-lighting". That can be confusing. I'll explain briefly. There are two main Halachic opinions regarding the earliest time to light candles and accept Shabbos. We generally subscribe to the earliest of those two. If a man is planning to daven Mincha with us today, candles should not be lit at home before that later "early" time, 7:24pm. 

On Shabbos after Mincha, I will be speaking about Rabbi Meshulam Lowy, the Tosher Rebbe (of Quebec) whose Yohrzeit was the 27th of Av.  


Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Davidovich
