DAVENING
Davening this entire week is not optional, but required to do by yourself, and will be from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
When it’s over, there will be an optional “Biur Tefila” — explanation of tefila — held on either Zoom of Google Hangouts for 10 minutes. Today, the session will be led by Judaic Studies teacher Rabbi Derek Gormin. Link on Schoology.
“Can’t wait to connect!” Rabbi Gormin wrote on Schoology Sunday evening. “The ‘Biur tefilah’ will be for the usuals at our ‘Daily Chassidic Connection’ and all not-yet usuals alike! I am looking forward to connecting (virtually) tomorrow morning!”
