Virtual Morning Minyan
March 22, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Virtual Services – Shabbat and Weekday/Sunday Minyan
In an effort to give us more opportunities to pray together as a community during these trying times, we are going to have virtual services for BOTH Shabbat and Sunday/weekday minyan, effective immediately.
Please note we need to have a two-way video and sound connection to be able to count people for a minyan, so please have your video and sound on if you want to be counted. The rationale used from a halachic perspective for allowing the formation of a minyan remotely is based on a source in the Talmud that indicates people who can see and hear each other can count together for a minyan, even if they are not in the same place. If you are with us on the video connection, you can recite kaddish and fully participate in all parts of the prayer service. These rules aren’t intended to be for the long run – they are an emergency measure because of these extraordinary times.
These are the scheduled service times:
Friday night: 6:00 PM to approximately 7:00 PM
Saturday morning: 10:00 AM to approximately 11:45 AM
Sunday morning daily minyan: 9:00 AM
Monday to Friday morning daily minyan: 8:00 AM

If you run into further problems trying to use Zoom, please email RavBarry@h-nt.org before or after Shabbat and either I’ll try and talk you through it, or I’ll get a volunteer to help you. You can try the link at anytime to test if your setup is working.
If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been placed in quarantine, or have quarantined yourself, please let us know. We are looking at ways that we can support members of our community who are struggling because of this crisis.
