In-person Activities at The UJC
We are pleased to announce that we have resumed some in-person activities at The UJC. Please refer to the schedule in this week’s issue of Shabbat Shalom for further information.
It will be wonderful to be back together. We are, however, not back to normal. Many precautions will need to be taken to enable us to meet safely and in compliance with public health regulations. All the steps we take will be guided by our medical advisor, Dr. Sarah Borwein, and by the Jewish value of pikuach nefesh (the preservation of life and health). We ask for your patience and cooperation in this new phase of our Covid-19 response. Click here for full information on new health and safety precautions and requirements.
We realize that even with the precautions we have put in place, some may not yet be comfortable gathering. We will therefore broadcast our in-person services on Zoom.
Message from Rabbi Z
I have my father to thank for my message this week. When we were talking the other day, he mentioned that he had shared a favorite prayer at the weekly minyan he attends (via Zoom) at his shul in Detroit. The prayer Dad chose was from the Union Prayer Book. He read the prayer from his copy of the 1956 edition, but it originated in the 1940 revision of the UPB. The text is worth reading in its entirety:
