Eruv is Pending for Shabbat September 25-26

In these unusual circumstances, some congregants are choosing to pray at home this Yom Kippur. Rabbi Kornfeld has prepared these recommendations for halachically correct prayer at home. The page numbers below are from the prayerbook labelled "The Complete Artscroll Machzor" for Yom Kippur, this is different from the prayerbooks for everyday use or the ones used for Rosh Hashana. If you need a copy, Island Synagogue has placed extras in a box in front of the synagogue, see instructions posted there.

In addition, Rabbi Kornfeld is teaching "How to Yom Kippur During Covid" on Zoom this Thursday night at 7:30. CLICK HERE for the link and it will also be up on our facebook page by Friday morning. Don't forget to print this before Shabbat!

Wishing you bodily health and soaring spirit this Yom Kippur,

Jon Newman

Rabbi Yechezkel Kornfeld
