HJC News and Times - Parshas Devarim - Shabbos Chazon - Tisha B'Av
We are very excited that our young Children's Shabbos Program is up and running. Thanks to our Coordinator Chaya Leba Winters, and to Tova Herskovic. While Chaya Leba is on maternity leave from the Program, we're pleased to announce that Shalva Davidovich will be running the Program this Shabbos. Remember - the Program starts at 9:15 and runs until Kiddush.
Please note that Rabbi Kirsch will not be here this Shabbos.
Kiddush is sponsored by Hillel and Zahava Seltzer in commemoration of the yahrzeits of Zahava's brother Donny Adler, Don Aryeh ben HaChaver Gershon, and Hillel's great grandmother Anna Rose Seltzer, Channa Raizel bas Michel.
Please note the changes to the schedule this Shabbos afternoon and Motzoei Shabbos. The Navi Shiur is at 5:30pm and Shabbos Mincha is at 6pm, earlier in the afternoon, to allow people to have a nice Shalosh Seudos at home, where none of the rules of a Seuda Hamafsekes apply. One must stop eating and drinking at shkia/sunset. The other Tisha B'Av practices only begin once Shabbos ends, at which point one should say "Baruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh L'Chol".
The bracha on the Havdala candle is made after Shabbos. There is no smelling of spices.
The other blessings of Havdala are said after the fast, before eating. People who are not fasting need to say Havdala on Tisha B'Av before eating, in which case one should use a beverage other than wine or grape juice.
The eating of meat and drinking of discretionary wine may be resumed Monday morning.
All other "Three Weeks" and "Nine Days" practices end as soon as the fast is over.

A Tisha B'av children's video by the Chofetz Chaim Heritage foundation will be shown at Heights Jewish Center in the downstairs social hall from 3:30-4:30 PM on Sunday. The film is entertaining and focuses on overcoming jealousy, for ages 7 and up. The cost is $5.00 per child/Maximum $15.00 per family. All proceeds go to benefit the Chofetz Chaim Heritage foundation.
