The Nine Days
The Code of Jewish Law / Shulchan Aruch states that when the month of Av begins we are meant to decrease our joy, as we commemorate the destruction of both Holy Temples on the 9th of Av. During the nine days, and really through midday on the 10, we do not eat meat or drink wine (other than on Shabbos), we do not take long, luxurious baths/showers, we do not wear freshly laundered clothing, we do not take any unnecessary risks, we do not listen to music, nor get married, nor hold celebrations, we do not buy or wear new clothes, and we are generally more ‘sober’ in our daily lives.
There is a fascinating Chasidic interpretation of the above-mentioned law. It states, “When the month of Av enters minimize it, (how?) through Simcha/Joy! The commentaries point out that the destruction of the Holy Temples is actually a great demonstration of G-d’s love for His people, for the destruction rained down on the ‘brick and mortar’ of the buildings rather than the utter destruction of our people.
The Nine Days culminate with the approximately 25-hour fast on the 9th of Av. This years it comes out on Wednesday evening, July 26th (fast begins at 7:53pm) and concludes on Thursday night, July 27th (fast ends at 8:20pm). We do not eat/drink, bathe, anoint ourselves with oils, wear leather shoes, or engage in marital intimacy. We also do not learn Torah other than portions dealing with the fast, for Torah study gladdens the heart. Men do not put on Tefillin during the morning of the 9th, but instead only do so during the afternoon.
Our schedule will include the evening service on Wednesday at 8pm and the communal reading of the Book of Lamentations. On Thursday morning services (without Tallis and Tefillin) will begin at 8:30am and be followed by the reading of the book of Kinus (a poetical book that describes the catastrophe of the Destruction and other calamities that befell our people on the 9th of Av). The afternoon service, which is where we will don the Tallis and Tefillin, will take place at 7pm. Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the fast.
It is critical that we have Minyanim at these services, so please let us know that you can come. Everyone is welcome for all of the services.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED!

It’s Calendar Time
We are starting our annual calendar campaign at this time. Chabad’s Jewish Art Calendar is a beautiful collection of Jewish art, explanations of important dates, recipes and a lot more. Best of all our calendars are customized for our community, which really makes the calendar OURS. We print and distribute hundreds of calendars all across north county and beyond, so it is an opportune time for businesses to advertise while at the same time supporting the shul.

Kiddush Sponsor
This week’s Kiddush is being sponsored by Miriam Reisman in memory of Harold Reisman.
It is being cosponsored by the Mintz Family in memory of Marcus Mintz.
It is being cosponsored by Len Hyman in memory of Max Hyman.
Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in our weekly Shabbat meal together.
KIDDUSH SPONSORS NEEDED! Can YOU step up to the plate?
An Important Note about Kiddushes –
The policy of the shul is to allow multiple sponsors for every Kiddush unless it is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or something similar (like a 50th wedding anniversary etc.).
There is no such thing as an exclusive Kiddush sponsor.
This is our policy for numerous reasons, not least of which is the fact that Kiddush sponsorships help generate much-needed income for our community and encourages more people to participate.
We thank you for your support and understanding!
Soup & Challah Sponsors
Soup and Challah is being sponsored by Clive Walden & the estate of Channah Hale. A big Yasher Koach to our volunteer deliverers - Carrie Rossenfeld, Marcia Keisman, and David & Annie Endres.
Challah is delivered to Mental Health Residential Centers in the area, people undergoing chemotherapy, and people who really love the addition to their Shabbos experience.
Deliver and get a bag of challah for your family as well!
