NO KIDDUSH

This Shabbos we read Parshas Zachor. The Torah requires that everyone hear this portion being read. 

Purim is Motzai Shabbos and Sunday. 

Megilla readings will be during regularly scheduled davening times, as well as every hour on the hour on Purim evening from 7:00 PM - 12:00 midnight, and on Purim day from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. 

If you know someone who is homebound, please contact [email protected], so we can help arrange a Megilla reading, 

One should hear the Megilla being read twice on Purim, once at night, February 23, and then again on Purim day, February 24. The Mitzvos of Mishloach Manos (gifts of two prepared foods), Matanos L'Evyonim (money for the poor, to at least two charities) and Seudas Purim (a festive holiday meal) must be done during Purim day on Sunday. They should be done after having heard the Megillah. Any money for Matanos L'Evyonim received by 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning will iy"h be distributed to the needy the same day. 

Monday, Shushan Purim, we do not say Tachnun.

Earliest Tallis: on Mon: 5:41 am - Fri: 5:35 am * 
*) The time we are posting is primarily with our weekday 6:30 minyan attendees in mind. If someone must daven earlier, please be aware that there are other opinions of how to calculate this.
