CHIEF RABBI WEBINAR The Chief Rabbi will be hosting another community-wide webinar this Sunday, 5 July at 4pm. Tune in for an update by Dr Richard Friedland, Q&A with Prof Barry Schoub and Prof Efraim Kramer and guidance on Shiva during lockdown by Rabbi Levi Avtzon and psychologist, Leonard Carr. The shul will reopen once it is medically sanctioned to do so. The criteria for this will be once a full week has passed during which the rate of increase in Covid-19 cases decreases on a daily basis for a full week. Once that occurs, shuls will be allowed to reopen under strict operational protocols. PHC OFFICES OPEN The PHC offices are open under strict regulations from 9am - 3pm Mon to Thur and 9am - 1pm on Fridays. Any services you require or queries you have that can be dealt with via email or over the phone, should be done so. If you need to visit the office, please remember to wear a mask and observe all sanitation protocols that have been put in place. The security guard will record your temperature and keep a log of everyone entering the campus for possible contact tracing requirements. Please do not visit the PHC if you have any Covid-19 symptoms.
The Three Weeks from the 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av are known as “Bein HaMetzarim” (In the Straits). During this period, joy is decreased. One may not marry. While one may get engaged during this time, one may not hold an engagement party. We also avoid buying or wearing new clothes or eating a new fruit so as not to be obliged to recite the Bracha “Shehecheyanu” - except when eating new fruit on Shabbat, or if the fruit will not be available after 9th Av. One does not shave or take haircuts during this period. |
