Spotlight on.... Pickle Minyan this Shabbat!

We are excited to announce the return of Pickle Minyan, a youth-led service for six year olds to pre-Bnai Mitzvah age children, this Shabbat (7/17) at 10:15 am!

Pickle Minyan will be held in the far side of the tent, just past the mechitza.

The service is modelled off a real service, but reduced in length for childrens' attention. It will also be followed by donuts and not pickles! We do not expect much disappointment in that. :)

We will try to hold Pickle Minyan once a month and are using this week as a kickoff. Please be patient with us as we work out the kinks.

If you would like to join and/or have your children participate, please
sign up here.

If you have any questions, please email justinsrubin@gmail.com.

Tisha B'av @ OSTNS

Tisha B’av begins on Saturday night, July 17th. There are a few points of information about how Tisha B’av preparation is different on Shabbat: Mincha will begin earlier than usual on Shabbat afternoon so that we have time to go home and eat a proper meal to prepare for the fast.

One should not adhere to the laws governing the final meal before the fast, so we do not need to eat the customary egg.
One may also eat meat for this meal.
On Shabbat afternoon we must finish eating before shkiah (sunset), which is at 8:32pm.
One may not prepare on Shabbat for Tisha B’av.
Shabbat ends at 9:14 pm. Maariv on Saturday night is at 9:20 pm.
One should either bring their non-leather shoes to Shul on Friday afternoon and leave the shoes in Shul over Shabbat or else change into one's shoes after 9:14 pm.
Havdalah: We do not recite a full havdalah because it is forbidden to drink the wine. We will make havdalah at shul over a candle before reading Eicha. If one is driving to shul after shabbat ends then first recite “baruch ha mavdil ben kodesh l’chol” to mark the end of Shabbat. If you are making havdalah at home then do havdalah only with a candle - we do not recite the blessings for the wine or the spices.

Please note the schedule changes on Shabbat afternoon:
5:00 PM - Daf Yomi
6:00 PM - Mincha
8:32 PM - Finish eating before the fast
9:14 PM - Shabbat ends
9:20 PM - Maariv followed by reading of Eicha led by Yoni Friedman in person and via Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/3127816941 or via phone at 646-558-8656, 3127816941#. This will take place in the tent; feel free to bring a mat for sitting on the ground (chairs will also be available if needed).

The book of Eicha can be found online here.
