After a meaningful, safe and successful second service in our beautiful sanctuary last week we are hoping to continue holding small services with a Zoom alternative on a routine basis starting August 22, 2020 (Parashat Shoftim) followed by September 5, 2020 (Parashat Ki Tavo). We are doing our very best to help us all maintain connection to the shul and to one another through this strange and sometimes difficult time.
YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER. We are limiting this event to 36 people, including babies and children. Please register with Zelda at info@congregationemanuel.ca by 4:00 pm on Friday, August 21, 2020. For September 5, 2020, please register with Zelda at info@congregationemanuel.ca by 4:00 pm on Friday, September 4, 2020. If more than 36 people ask to attend, we’ll do our best to give those people priority at subsequent services. Continue reading Shabbat Services Online plus
We are looking for people to help train our community members with technology. Can you use Zoom? We’d love to have you do an online tutorial for us! Is FaceTime, Whatsapp, or Skype second nature? Please let us know and we can link you up with someone who could use some guidance. It would be a huge mitzvah to help our congregation to stay connected!
Tuesday, Mar 24, 9:30-11 am — Following up on last week’s success, we will once again create a virtual gathering place for members of Congregation Emanu-El (up to 100 can partipate at a time) with Rabbi Matt as host. You can connect by phone or video-call. (A video connection requires you to have a free ZOOM account). Our hope is to create a Jewish place for members who are feeling isolated or want to be in contact during this pandemic. All members are welcome (up to 100 participants) and there will be (technologically limited) opportunities to contribute and be heard.
Last week Mystic Moka and Brown Bag Beit Midrash moved online/over-the-phone with the sessions extended by one hour. From now on, Brown Bag Beit Midrash will run on Tuesdays from 12:30-2:30 pm & Mystic Moka on Fridays from 12:30-2:30 pm. The classes are run through the program ZOOM, which can be accessed on-line or by phoning in. If you have not used this program before, please call in or log-in 10 minutes before it starts, in case you have issues. If it is your first time using it online, the link below will guide you through downloading the “app” and then take you into the meeting.
