Library Minyan Survey Results
The past Tuesday night, members of the Library Minyan met over Zoom to review our activities over the past 14 months. We also enjoyed a lively and respectful discussion on the potential use of live streaming during Library Minyan services. At the end of the debate, we decided to send a survey to our members. Here are the results:
Should the Library Minyan permit livestreaming/broadcasting of its services during the period of the pandemic?

High Holiday Services for 5782
The Ritual Committee is looking for volunteers to organize and oversee High Holiday Services for 5782 for the Library Minyan, assuming that TBA will be providing a davening space for the Minyan’s use. Please email
Ritual@LibraryMinyan.org before May 20, 2021 to volunteer.
In this week’s Haftorah Plethora, Rick and Larry talk about curses and blessings and decide that Jerimiah’s treatment of them is more uplifting than the Torah reading for Bechukotai. Larry points out that this haftarah gives us two important verses that are part of our daily liturgy while Rick opines that playing episodes of Haftorah Plethora may not be the best way to get Millie to smile.
