Shabbat Ma’ariv services are every Friday at 5 p.m. The Torah will be read at services on Friday evenings; Saturday morning services are suspended until further notice.
This week, The Torah reading is a double Parashah: “Matot-Masei” (Tribes-Marches) from Numbers 30:2-31-54. The Israelites are instructed regarding vows and oaths made and vows cancelled. “Masei” lists all the journeys the Israelites had taken since leaving Egypt.
All Beit HaLev services share the new special prayerbooks onscreen, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.”
