Shalom!

We will continue meeting in our temporary Bet Knesset location for Shabbat. 

If one has been infected with COVID-19 or has self-quarantined because of exposure to an individual infected or suspected to have been infected with COVID-19, we ask that you keep others in the Kehillah safe by being symptom-free and quarantining the correct amount of time before attending in-person meetings.We wish all our Kehillah members and their loved ones a Refuah Shelemah!

All members and regulars are invited to attend. 

SHABBAT SCHEDULE

Join us for Shabbat Tefillah with Torah reading! No Kiddush Lunch this week.

Join us for the Mincha followed by Seudah Shelishit. Seudah Shelishit is missing a sponsor. Kindly reply to this email to sponsor it.

Thank you to our generous sponsors from last week!

CLASSES

B'ezrat Hashem, all of our regular classes are scheduled to continue THIS week,  b'ezrat Hashem, aside from Monday night Kollel and Tuesday's UK class.

As part of our effort to rejuvenate the environment we have spent years creating in the Bet Midrash, all classes have returned to in-person learning as they were before COVID. Your assistance is kindly requested in order to revive the unique, in-person learning experience which we have all grown to know. Thank you for your full cooperation!

PURIM

Purim schedule will be sent out after Shabbat. Tentatively: We will have a Purim evening Megillah reading and celebration, as well as a morning Megillah reading and Seudah. We will not be having an afternoon party this year.

Wishing you and yours a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Yonatan Halevy

Shalom to our dearest friends and Shiviti members in the UK! 

With gratitude to Hashem we are pleased to inform you that we are (finally) scheduled to visit later this month for the Shabbat of the 19th! We have wanted to do this since 2020 and finally are excited that it is coming to fruition! 

We will be in the Hendon neighborhood of London from Friday until Monday, with a Melave Malka scheduled for Saturday night! 

Please stay tuned for more information which will be sent out as soon as we have it! 

We literally cannot wait to greet you in person! 

Sending all our love and blessings,
Rabbi Yonatan and Rabbanit Devorah

Thanks to the hard work of Shiviti’s volunteer audio/video team!

In this week's class, we will continue dispelling the myth that the Rama’s Halachic stances are “more stringent” than those of Maran by gathering dozens of examples where the former deviates from Talmudic Law while the latter upholds it, with a special focus on the permissibility of Rabbanim receiving payment for their services.

This class is part of our newest series “Expanding Horizons: Refreshing Perspectives From Giants of Jewish Thought” at the Shiviti Bet Midrash UK!
