My Dear Friends,
One of the unprecedented realities of our current situation is that we’re all home with our family on Shabbat!
What a G-d given opportunity for us to connect to, each according to his and her level, the serenity and sanctity and of this special day!
Let’s make the most of it, and draw down the Al-mighty’s blessings for ourselves, all our Jewish brothers and sisters, and for all humankind!

Please join me Friday, live on-line, at 5:00pm for my (pre) Shabbat Sermon.
Click here to join.
Additionally, I invite and encourage each one of you to celebrate Shabbat this week as a community, together in joy, faith and confidence in the blessings that are sure to come!
So, as you pray at home, say your prayers at the following times. This way we will all be connected to each other:
- Mincha/Maariv Friday night - 7:00pm.
- Shacharit - 10:30am. (Many have the custom on this Shabbat, since it is the Shabbat before Rosh Chodesh, to recite the whole book of Psalms before Shacharit.)
- Mincha, 7:00pm.
- Maariv, at the conclusion of Shabbat - 7:53pm.
In the spirit of unity and togetherness, let us share and discuss at our Shabbat family meals - Friday night and Shabbat day - the very same ‘Dvar Torah’ and inspirational story. Please click here for this week's Mosaic Express which includes a summary of the Torah portion, Parsha insights and stories. Please print it out before Shabbat.
After Shabbat, everyone, men and women, are invited to join an on-line Farbrengen in honour of Shabbos Mevorchim Nissan; Shabbos Parshas HaChodesh and the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka’s birthdate anniversary. Saturday night, 9:30 pm. Please click here to enter the ‘Zoom Room.’

May Hashem grant us the fulfillment of His promise of a world healed, perfected and redeemed in an ‘everlasting Shabbat’ with the coming of Moshiach, without delay, Amen!
