Parshat Devarim | Shabbat Hazon

As you may already be aware, as of Saturday night at 11:59, LA County’s Department of Health is again requiring indoor masking for all people, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. Beginning on Sunday morning then, masks will be required in our building at all times. The same will be true of course at our Community Shacharit and Kinnot at Beth Jacob. Our Mincha and Learning program at Temple Beth Am will be taking place entirely outdoors. We will share more details about the health order and how it will affect us as we receive them. |
|
- Kiddush in the Social Hall is sponsored by friends of the Merkins in honor of their upcoming aliya to Israel and in gratitude for their contributions to the BDJ community over the past 20 years.

RECORDING OUR COVID-YEAR REFLECTIONS |
|
What We’ve Learned:
Looking Back at the Unforgettable Years of 5780 and ‘81
Each of us has learned important things over the past year and a half, about life, love, and what's really important. Every one of us is invited to contribute to a compendium of thoughts that we are compiling to be called: What We’ve Learned: Looking Back at the Unforgettable Years of 5780 and ‘81.
We’re going to publish the compendium as a beautiful booklet and have copies for everyone in shul on Rosh HaShana, as a source of thought and inspiration for the new year ahead. To participate, all you need to do is to compose your 1-2 paragraph reflection (not more!) and submit it to us by August 1st.
