Here are the details for our Shabbat Virtual Service 
and a list for all Virtual programs this week - March 24 -30:

Virtual Shabbat Services - March 28

Our virtual Shabbat will be a creative service of song, prayers and poems with a Torah reading and an aliyah for all those needing blessing, support or marking a Yahrzeit. You are welcome to use a siddur if you have it at home, but everything will be presented on the screen for those who need it.  You can come as you are -- you have the option to use video, or just audio.
 
Torah Study will begin at 9:00 am
Service from 10:00 - 12:00 pm.
Followed by Kiddush (of sorts) with food provided by you!

We have created an opportunity for people to gather daily to check in, shmooze and offer support with our Virtual Coffee House.  You can come and hang out with your Dorshei friends and meet some new ones.  Even though we are stuck at home, we hope that this space can ensure that every day is filled with community! (The coffee and drinks are up to you.)

Tuesday mornings will be a poetry/song sharing circle, where people can share poems, songs or other thoughts that have given them strength or hope during this time. 

Thursday mornings people are invited to share their favorite jokes or other bits of humor (not necessarily about viruses or pandemics) to keep us laughing. Stand up comedy bits are also possible.
 
Living With Loss
Howard Richler is hosting a bereavement group on Zoom on Wednesday, March 25 at 2 pm. All are welcome, even if you have not been participating in the recent group. If you want more details you can contact Howard at 514-347-2846 or hrichler@gmail.com.

Parent Support Group
Sundays and Wednesdays, 9:00 pm, starting March 25th.
Join other parents of kids under 13 for an opportunity to shmooze and offer support and ideas for making our way through this tough time. From thoughts on how to stay organized and busy, to ideas on learning from home, or how to simply not run out the house screaming after spending a day stuck with your kids--we’ll cover it all! Bring a cup of tea, a soda, or if it has been a really tough day, a martini! Email Sarah Dolin sarahdolin@gmail.com, if you interested, and she will send you the link and password.

Daf Yomi Class
Fridays, 12:00 pm
https://zoom.us/j/428525106
Our weekly Daf Yomi class will be continuing as usual. In January we started the new 7.5 year cycle of reading a page of the Talmud a day, and we have had many great discussions so far. We are currently making our way through Tractate Shabbat, learning about the rules and philosophy of Shabbat, and finding many surprising connections with the current situation and our daily lives. No previous experience in Talmud necessary to join the class. You’ll be surprised how much fun Talmud study can be!

Shabbat Songs with Fran Avni
Fridays at 3:00 pm on Facebook Live on the Dorshei Emet Facebook page. Join Fran Avni every Friday as she shares some of her favorite Shabbat songs, teachings, and maybe even a story or two. Best for kids 3-8, but all kids (and parents and grandparents) are invited!
