With the current situation, we need to try as hard as we can to strengthen ourselves in our Tefilos. During Shacharis and prior to Mincha, we should say פטום הקטורת(pg. 16 in the Hebrew only Artscroll siddur and pg. 36 in the English siddur) the two paragraphs from תנו רבנןuntil מפני הכבוד. Tehillim should be said following all three tefillos, specifically chapters קל and קמב (130 & 142).
It is crucially important that we all follow the directives and advice of the medical professionals and the Psakim of the Rabbomim that all Social Distancing be held to completely. This is true Sakanas Nefashos. Everyone is reminded that the Rabbomin have explicitly forbade all private minyanim.
Yeshurun is here for you. If there is something that you need, or if you know of someone who may need help, please let us know. We will try to help. Please contact the office if you would like to join the many volunteers.
The Shul office is offically closed during Chol Hamoed. Email and voicemail will be checked daily.
Rabbi Cohen can be reached at home 773-262-5413. If he is not available, please leave a message and the Rov will call you back as soon as he can. The Rov will also be maintaining regular calling hours of 2-3:30pm and 10:30-11:00pm.
