Minyan message

Because Martin and Marla a"h have such a special place in the collective hearts of the Shul, and so many of us would like to daven with Martin during Shiva, I think it's appropriate that we relocate our minyan to his home for the remainder of this week.  This will begin today at Mincha and continue until Friday morning.  We'll reassess at that time. 

Davening times are 7 am for Shacharis and 5:15 pm for Mincha/Ma'ariv.  

May we only know simchas.

Thank you!

Phil

HJC Torah: Conflicts among Jews - how to understand them

This past Sunday, HJC hosted a Breakfast, sponsored by Jeff and Melanie Muller in honor of the first Yohrtzeit of Jeff's mother Josephine Muller A"H. An overflow crowd attended to honor Josephine's memory.

I shared some thoughts about the sad but constant phenomenon of infighting amongst Jews that has been going on since the days of Yaakov's sons.  Of course, to do justice to this topic would take years, and not merely a half-hour. But I think we covered some interesting facets of this issue. There was also a short but intense Ask-the-Rabbi session that followed. We've uploaded the presentation for you to benefit from.

Audio: https://audio.hjcs.org/shiur/machlokes-l'sheim-shomayim-conflicts-among-jews-758

Many people enjoyed the event and the format, and expressed interest in having this kind of event again, as had been done in previous years. If you are interested, please let me know.

Have a great day
