As I’ve shared with you in the past, Rav Soloveitchik taught that in response to challenging times, the only useful question to ask is not “Why?” but “What now?” Of course we must do what we can to lower our risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus, and to mitigate its spread. But the real, inspirational response to this unprecedented communal challenge is found in the stories below. Wishing all of us a Shabbat of recovery, health, and peace. ~ Rabbi Weinstock From COLlive.com: Dozens of volunteers spread out across Westchester County, NY on Purim, to read the Megillah at over 130 locations where Jewish residents are currently in quarantine. Organized by Chabad of Westchester County, located in New Rochelle, the epicenter of New York’s coronavirus outbreak, groups of bochurim and men were sent to read the Megillah and bring Purim joy to those in quarantine. Fear of the spread of the coronavirus - 82 people have been infected in Westchester County - had upended Purim plans in the entire area, with Megillah readings and events canceled. Shlucha Rochel Butman coordinated dozens of volunteers to fan out across the area to make sure anyone who needed would be able to fulfill the Mitzvah of Megillah from their homes. Working with medical professionals, they devised a set of guidelines for volunteers to make sure they stay safe and protected while doing this Mitzvah. All volunteer readers remained outside of the home of the quarantined individuals and maintained a distance of 10-15 feet. Residents were grateful and moved by the volunteer bochurim who took the time to visit and help them fulfill the Mitzvah, many times ending with a festive Purim dance to liven the streets. “I have never cried during the opening brachos of Megillas Esther before,” Gary Berger, one of the quarantined residents wrote on Facebook. “Overwhelmed with emotions, we are eternally grateful to Chabad of Westchester for pulling off the miracle of having individual readings on hundreds of patios and lawns across New Rochelle. “May the Zechus of this amazing Mitzvah lead to a complete Refuah shelaima for all of our friends and families.” “These Chabad boys are amazing! They stopped some people of our street, who they thought were Jewish, unaffiliated, and offered to read to them. They said yes!” another one wrote. “I just want to let you, Chabad and the community know that we just received a call from our Irish Catholic neighbors. They called to tell us how inspired they were last night by the Chabad boys. (They could hear it from their window at 11:30 pm.) The wife told us she started to cry when she saw and heard it and how amazing our community is and how nice it was,” another wrote. Continued on next page….

D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

From The Daily Portion by Sivan Rahav Meir: “Shalom Sivan, this is Levi Mendelzon from Chabad. I am writing on behalf of a Megillat Esther reading project for those quarantined by the coronavirus. When we began this project a week ago, we could not have imagined that so many people would be forced to enter home quarantine and would ask to hear the Megillah. Reading the Megillah under these circumstances was utterly surrealistic: to stand in the stairwell of an apartment building, to press the light switch continuously so it would not go out, and to read the Megillah for just one quarantined listener; to stand under a window and loudly read the Megillah in the street for a single quarantined individual listening from that window. It was extremely emotional to see how these people would not give up on hearing the Megillah. Not on YouTube, but in person. Today, we are used to sending everything on WhatsApp, but tonight we saw that there is significance in physical proximity, in recitation of the Megillah directly from one person to another. The listeners' emotional reaction to this personal connection reminded me that one of the purposes of Purim is to connect with one another through the mitzvot of the day: the Purim feast, the reading of the Megillah, mishloach manot, and gifts for the poor. I call upon all of us to find those around us who are isolated, and not only because of the coronavirus. This can be someone who is a little neglected, for example, and send that person mishloach manot. Have a Happy Purim." ———————————————————————————————

Keeping Our Shul Healthy - Let’s All Do Our Part

If you are sick- especially if you have a fever or experiencing upper respiratory symptoms such as coughing, please do not come to shul. Not only are you exempt from coming, but Hashem would prefer that you pray from home.

Please wash your hands with soap or use hand sanitizer before entering a minyan.

Avoid touching your face.

The Surgeon General and World Health Organization recommend discontinuing hand shaking for the time being. Out of an abundance of caution, this seems like a good idea.

It is also a good idea for the time being to avoid kissing ritual objects, such as mezuzahs, siddurim and chumashim. Let us show our respect and love towards objects and people in non-contact fashions.

SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Your 5 digit access code is not to be shared with others, INCLUDING your visiting guests. It’s for you and your family to use during Daf Yomi times at the glass door, and the main door during morning and evening Minyan times and for night classes.

Our Security Team has advised us that we can no longer allow unattended bags i.e. tallit bags, backpacks etc. to be left anywhere in the shul. Personal belongings must be locked in your locker, taken home after Shabbat or Sunday morning at the latest. Lockers are to be locked at all times. To avoid a potential security breach no boxes should be left open. Lockers are available for rent. https://images.shulcloud.com/406/uploads/Lockers/Availablelockerstorent.pdf

YIH Vaccination Policy

Resolution passed by the Young Israel of Hollywood Governing Board on December

26, 2018: It is a religious requirement to get you and your child(ren) vaccinated for

the safety of each child and for the community at large. There is no such thing as a

Jewish/Halachic religious exemption to vaccinations. Shuls should protect their

members (especially those who are medically unable to be vaccinated) by restricting

access of those who choose to remain unvaccinated to shul programs and events.

Therefore, all adults, youth and teens attending Young Israel of Hollywood programs

or services, whether on or off our facility, must be fully vaccinated according to

standards of the State of Florida in order to participate in our programs and services.

The only exception to this policy is for those who are unable to receive vaccines for

valid medical reasons.

The results of Florida’s Presidential primary this Tuesday March 17th may be a foregone conclusion, but it is still critical that we all vote. Elected officials track voting turnout and will see whether the Jewish community votes at a high rate. The more we vote, the more power we have to advocate on behalf of the Jewish community.

Iran’s Stockpile of Enriched Uranium has Jumped, U.N. Atomic Agency Says

Iran has nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium since early November, the United Nations’ atomic agency said Tuesday, prompting warnings from experts and diplomats that Tehran has slashed the time it would need to amass enough fuel for a nuclear weapon. Iran also substantially increased the number of machines it is using to enrich uranium, the agency said, allowing it to make more of the nuclear fuel faster. The confidential report provided to member states and obtained by The Washington Post is the first since Iran announced it would no longer adhere to any of the nuclear pact’s restrictions on uranium fuel production. Iran—the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism—remains Israel’s and America’s greatest long-term threat in the Middle East.

Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to

learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE 3291 Stirling Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312

The outbreak of COVID-19 is challenging us in unprecedented ways. After consulting with other South Florida shuls, we have decided to implement the following protocols in an effort to prevent any spread of the disease and promote community health.

1) If you are sick, you must stay home from shul. If you have any symptoms of illness, especially a cough, you must not come to shul. 2) If you are at a higher risk of developing a severe case of the virus, you are exempt from praying with a minyan and you should stay home. According to the CDC the following people should avoid large crowds, especially in poorly ventilated areas: those over age 65, the immuno-compromised, and those with chronic medical conditions such as heart or lung disease and diabetes. We understand that for some people, avoiding minyan is a tremendous sacrifice. However it is a sacrifice that one must make if there is a legitimate possibility of entering into a life threatening situation. 3) If you are saying Kaddish and will not be attending minyan, please let us know and we will have Kaddish recited on your behalf. 4) There will be no Kiddushim or Seudah Shlishit served this Shabbat. No Sunday morning breakfast. 5) Please do not congregate in the shul building to socialize. Please practice social distancing protocols (ie not congregating together) as much as possible. 6) Beginning next week, all regularly scheduled shiurim will be made available via internet, either live-streamed or recorded and uploaded to our website. We will provide information on how to access. 7) If you or someone you know needs help with errands, such as shopping, because you are staying home, please contact one of us. If you would like to volunteer as part of the Corona Chesed Committee (CCC) please let us know.

We will continue to update you as we receive new and updated information. These are challenging times. They can take a toll on us, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Please reach out to one of us if we can be helpful in any way.
