The Selichot video presentation will  iy’h be  Program B of the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation’s Tisha B’Av Video. The theme of the video is promoting peace which is a timely topic for Rosh Hashana. Most of the material on Program B is different than the material on Program A which we showed here at the Shul on Tisha b’Av. The highlight of Program B is the riveting presentation given by Rabbi Yissacher Frand of Baltimore.

The vidoe starts at 11:15 pm  runs for approximately 1 hour and twenty minutes. Rabbi Frand’s  presentation starts approximately 37 minutes into the video and runs for approximately 50 minutes.

Ketiva v’chatima tova!

I’d like to thank all those who are participating in the Tehilim group on behalf of my nephew , Chaim Meir ben Leah Miriam Rabinowitz.

He began a new round of chemotherapy treatments and our prayers for him are vital.

Our extended family finishes as a group the entire Tehilim every day and we are very grateful that this is being done by those who have joined the shul group  .There are hundreds of people praying for him and in the merit of all these prayers we should see him  granted a refuah shelaima, a complete recovery.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Yitzchak Rabinowitz

Dear Friends,

I would like to ask for your participation in a Tehilim (Psalms) group on behalf of my 18 year old nephew, Chaim Meir Rabinowitz, who was recently diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer after 5 years in remission.

We have divided up all the chapters of Tehilim into groups of two or three chapters to be recited every day with the goal of collectively finishing the entire book of Tehilim every day. Nighttime is when the day begins and ends with sunset. These chapters can be recited any time during the day. Please have his Hebrew name (Chaim Meir ben Leah Miriam) in mind when you recite these chapters and include it in your daily prayers. On Shabbat recite them without his name in mind.

My brother, Mordechai, and his family have spent Simchat Torah with us for the past 14 years so many of you know him and his family. The holy words of Tehilim recited by a group of people is an extremely powerful spiritual force in attaining the blessings we request from the Almighty.

Please help our family in this very difficult time. In the merit of your kindness and prayers may we all be blessed with health, simcha and nachas.

With great appreciation,
Yitzchak Rabinowitz

To participate, put your name near the chapter(s) to take responsibility for reading those chapters every day.

Welcome!

We’ve done some major overhauling to our website, and although we’re launching it now, there’s still more to come. I’d like to take a minute and give you a brief overview of what to expect from this new, improved website.

1. Twitter Eruv Status/weather widget. Our new Eruv Status is fed from our Eruv Twitter account. If you click it, you will be redirected to our eruv twitter page. If you follow it, you can set it so that you get the eruv status updates texted to you on your cell phone (you can also text “follow maldeneruv” to 40404)! For your convenience, we also have a weather.com 36-hour weather widget, so you’ll know how to dress for the weather on Shabbat morning.
2. Blogs. You’ll get regular updates from the Rabbi, shul President, and myself, on a whole variety of topics. Feel free to comment! We appreciate your feedback, and we’d love to know what you think about what we say. Our styles will grow to adapt to our readership, so feedback is important.
3. Google Calendar of Events. Our schedules are now in a special Google calendar. You can save the calendar and automatically get updated whenever we update the times and events.
4. Categories. All of our posts will be categorized – sometimes more than once! All of our categories will be visible in a column on the right, so you can search for old posts and media by the categories – photos, audio, events, etc. You can also search by author, if you want (for example) to search through the Rabbi’s old posts.
5. Coming soon – Forms. RSVPing and signing up for events (and even membership) will be made much easier with Google Forms. Payments and donations will be a snap, too, with Paypal.

Those are the main items. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I invite you to contact me. We’re not finished with the styling, but that will be updated as we go along. I’ll keep you apprised of any new features that we roll out, as well. I hope you enjoy the new site!
