WEEKLY BRIEF At Home Av 3 - 4 5780/July 24th-25th, Shabbat Chazon Parshat Devarim Guidelines Parshat Devarim Chazon A Message From Adler 4 Av 5780 Chaveireinu Hayikarim, I hope you and family are well as we approach the July 24-25, 2020 5th month of our lives being dictated by a virus. The

Mishneh at the beginning of the second perek of Friday Masechet Berachot teaches us that if someone walks Mincha/Maariv* - 7:00 pm into shul late and you are in the midst of Kriat (please note no Zoom Kabbalat Shab- Shema, you are permitted to respond to that person bat) who said Gut Shabbos or Shabbat Shalom to you. The Candle Lighting* - 7:15 pm Rav said in the name of the Chafetz Chaim that not (recommended if davening early) only are you permitted to respond but you are Candle Lighting - before 8:01 pm obligated to do so. If you do not respond, you is not קבלת עול מלכות שמים , demonstrate that my acceptance of the yoke of heaven Shabbat very serious. Shacharit* – 7, 8:30 or 9 am Where do we derive this from? That man is to ignore HKBH for a few minutes while you Sof Zman Kriat Shma – 9:24 am respond to another human being? The Gemara in Masechet Shabbat (from the daf yomi, two is not recited weeks ago) suggests that we learn it from Avraham, where the describes a visit from G בריך שמיה • is -D after Avraham’s Brit Milah. Yet when Avraham noticed that he had visitors, he excusedיקום פורקן Only the first paragraph of• recited himself and tended to his guests. Apparently, that was what Avraham was supposed to do is recited and hence we are to do the same when reciting the Shema and being interrupted by anotherאב הרחמים • Kriat HaTorah: member of the shul. You respond to the person. Immediately thereafter, as G-D is preparing ושמרו דרך ה׳ the destruction of Sedom, He shares that information with Avraham because Parshat Devraim— Devarim 11:1-3:22 . becomes the motto of Avraham לעשות צדקה ומשפט Haftara Chazon – Yishayahu 1:1- 1:27 We always read this parsha on Shabbat prior to Tisha B’Av and the haftarah concludes with

We all hope to כבוד הבריות . which means we have to focus on צדקה ומשפט words Mincha* – 7:45 pm return to our Beit Knesset soon. We all agree that something must change as a result of the Maariv* – 8:50 pm Corona virus. Let us focus on Kavod Habriyot. When issues arise, recognize that there might Havdala – 9:01 pm be validity in someone else’s opinion other than yours. If upon arriving at shul you notice that your seat is occupied, do not ask that person to change his/her seat. If you are catching *suggested timing for Rinat Kehilla up, do not stand to recite Shmoneh Esrai when someone is speaking whereby you will be blocking the vision of the person seated behind you. If we all take Kavod for others seriously, we will be the beneficiary of the conclusion of this week’s haftarah. ציון במשפט תפדה ושביה בצדקה GABBAI NOTE This Wednesday evening, the start of Rabbi Yosef Adler Tisha B’Av, Rinat will offer a communal kriah of Megillat Eicha via Zoom.

We were able to say the Tefillah of Magen Avot at night together, and enjoyed a fast but meaningful tefillah. After Musaf, it was exciting to see happy kids (masked) with their parents (also masked) coming to groups with their excited group leaders (likewise masked). Groups were held outside, in any shaded location they could find. The kids davened together, learned Parsha together, as an added treat, Rabbi Wiener came to deliver a Dvar Torah, all while maintaining social distancing. In the afternoon the kids, together with their parents, visited Sheryl and Rabbi Yosef Adler, and had an ice pop and lollipop snack. It was so nice to see so many Rinat members and their families joining in.

This coming Sunday we have two exciting programs brought to us by Adult Ed. In the morning at 9:30 Rachel Weber Leshaw will give a shuir titled "What is Legitimate Protest? A closer look at Kamtza and Bar Kamtza," and at 8:00 pm Elana Kaplan will give a class on "Night at the Met: a Journey through and Ancient Egypt". At 10:00am Rabbi Wiener will be holding his virtual children's Mishna shiur, zoom details are on the website. From 5:00-8:00pm we will be collecting Shaimos. Please come with your Shaimos in bags and the pick up will be in the parking lot. Our regular weekday shiurim and ulpan classes are on schedule Monday and Tuesday and I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday for the weekly "Sandwich and Shmooze". A sandwich is not required, and gluten-free alternatives are acceptable. :)

For Tisha B'Av we will have a zoom Eicha reading at 8:45 pm. There will also be youth and adult ed programming on Zoom. Stay tuned to your email for details.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and an easy fast. May this unusual Tisha B'Av be the last time we sit at home privately mourning the destruction of the two Batei Mikdash and all the terrible atrocities that befell our people. I look forward to the time when we will be together, celebrating, in good health.

Shabbat Shalom
