This Week in Our Community

Dear friends,

Yom Kippur starts Wednesday evening. We remind you that only those who have registered to the High Holidays will be admitted to our services. You will need to prove your CovidCheck status if you come in person. If you join on Zoom and you are not a member, please register as well. Only members in good standing and those that have registered will be admitted. Make sure your real name is visible when you join the Zoom room, for security reasons.

There will be activities for children during Yom Kippur. A separate email will be sent out to families, but if you’d like to know more or are not on our Talmud Torah list please contact Anastasia Badder (anastasia [dot] badder [at] uni [dot] lu).

Entry to the synagogue will be from the garden side only. At the end of Yom Kippur on Thursday we will end the fast together with cakes and dry fruits. Feel free to bring something to share for the traditional Anbeiss.

Gmar hatimah tovah !
Chers amis,

Yom Kippour débute mercredi soir. Nous vous rappelons que seulement les personnes préenregistrées seront admises à nos offices. Vous devrez amener votre certificat CovidCheck si vous participez en présentiel. Si vous nous rejoignez sur Zoom et que vous n’êtes pas membre chez nous vous devez également vous enregistrer. Seuls les membres à jour de leur cotisation et les personnes inscrites à l’avance seront admis. Assurez-vous d’utiliser votre vrai nom quand vous rejoignez notre session Zoom, pour des raisons de sécurité.

Il y aura des activités pour enfants pendant le jour de Kippour. Un courriel sera envoyé aux familles à ce sujet. Si vous n’êtes pas sur notre liste de distribution du Talmud Torah ou si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à contacter Anastasia Badder (anastasia [point] badder [arobas] uni [point] lu).

L’entrée à la synagogue se fera uniquement via le jardin. A la fin de Kippour jeudi soir nous romprons le jeûne ensemble avec des gâteaux et fruits secs. Amenez des mets à partager pour le traditionnel Anbeiss.

Gmar hatimah tovah !

Haazinu
Listen
Deuteronomy 32:1–52
Summary
Moses sings his last song, a love poem to God and a chastisement of the people, who are not worthy of Adonai. (32:1–6)
The poem recounts the blessings that God has bestowed on the Israelites, the wicked deeds they have committed, and the punishments that God then inflicted upon them. (32:7–43)
God tells Moses to begin his ascent of Mount Nebo, from where he will see the Land of Israel from a distance but will not be allowed to enter it. (32:45–52)
