Virtual Events & Classes
Rabbi Gershon Albert
MORNING MEANING
Our morning learning continues at 8:00 AM with Rabbi Albert on Zoom. As we finish the Rambam’s Hilchot Teshuva, we will continue with the following schedule:
- Sunday Mornings: Recipes for Prayer based on the Writings of Rav Dov Zinger (this is instead of the Monday evening class)
- Monday - Thursday Mornings: Mishnah of Tractate Brachot
- Friday Mornings: Rav Soloveitchik on the Parsha (these selections from the Rav’s writings will allow us to explore some of the main ideas in his thought)
We can dedicate the learning in memory of those who would otherwise have Kaddish recited on their behalf, like for a Yahrzeit.
All virtual classes (other than Reading with Yonim) can be accessed with this Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/4672710965

On March 13th, 2020, the Friday after Purim, Beth Jacob sent out an email closing our sanctuary to services. In those early days we had no idea what the next months had in store. Join us as we connect in the wake of passing 500,000 COVID-19 related deaths in America, and this unanticipated anniversary. We will hear words of Torah and Tefilah from our Community Scholars Michal Kohane, Sarah Robinson as well as Rabbi Albert and Rav Shua.
