Ahavat Olam Synagogue welcomes everyone to join us in person, outdoors and on line via Zoom in thoughtful, moving Shabbat morning prayers on August 6, 2022 at 10:00 am, mostly sung, much in Hebrew, some in English, some in the language of the heart and in the speech of the angels. Please join us if you can!
In person outdoors:
On line via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87961573615?pwd=eHRTWEV6dDNneWs2U2M5a0dIVHNVdz09. Remember that, since we’ll be conducting a live Shabbat service and Zoom is a very different medium from Real Life, the experience probably won’t feel quite as connected and intimate as with our regular Zoom services. We’ll do our best.
The weekly parshah (Torah portion) is Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1 – 3:22). Moses sits the Children of Israel down on the other side of the Jordan and recounts episodes of their 40 years in the wilderness; he encourages them in their coming entry into the Land.
This shabbat is also Tisha B’Av — the 9th day of the month of Av — typically a day of mourning for the destruction of the Temple and for other misfortunes. Because Shabbat is a day of rejoicing, we postpone fasting and reading the Book of Lamentations until Sunday.
