Beit HaLev

Beit HaLev is now conducting services on Zoom. Anyone interested in joining the Beit HaLev Zoom community for services and Hebrew lessons, contact the rabbi at (562) 715-0888 for access and instructions on how to use Zoom.

Beit HaLev is continuing to livestream on Facebook and YouTube as well. To attend, go to Rabbi Galit Shirah’s website at galityomtov. com, Facebook.com/galityomtov or YouTube.com (Shabbat Shalom LIVE! channel). Evening services begin at 6 and morning services begin at 10:30.

The Days of Awe begin next week but the special prayer service that precedes Rosh Hashanah is this Saturday — S’lichot (prayers of supplication). Beit HaLev’s schedule for livestream services for S’lichot, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is:

• S’lichot: Saturday, Sept. 12, 6 p.m.

This Shabbat Beit Halev will read from Deuteronomy 29:9-30:14, “N’tzavim-Vayelech.” Every Israelite, every man, woman, child, elder, water carrier, wood-chopper, participates in a covenant ceremony, committing themselves to God’s commandments. Every future generation, including converts, were considered present at the Revelation at Mt. Sinai.

Rabbi Galit Shirah conducts a weekday Ma’ariv service every Thursday for Sim Shalom, the online synagogue. Sim Shalom presents livestream services Monday-Thursday, with a different rabbi each day. To say Kaddish, pray for healing and hear a spiritual message, go to SimShalom.com.
