Women's Tehillim Group
Start your week off by doing something powerful and inspiring by joining BAY Shul's women's Tehillim group, Sundays at 10:00 am.  It's a no-nonsense gathering -- in at 10, out by 10:30. No commitment needed, just attend when you can.  By our saying King David's Psalms in a group of women, our prayers carry much weight where it counts most. Special times ahead! Hope to see you there.

At 7:20 pm, (Sun, Tues. & Wed.-right before Ma'ariv)  we will once again hold MBC-the MISHNA BERURAH CHABURA 
Mishan Berurah is a book written by the Chofetz Chaim and is a commentary and detailed explanation of the Code of Jewish Law-topics of daily living (prayer, brachos, Shabbos, holidays, tefillin, Shema, and more).
The word Chabura is like the words chaver-friend and chevra-group of friends, meaning the group of those studying Mishna Berurah. We have started the first volume on the topic of Shmone Esrei-the silent amida. Some texts are available. No prior knowledge of the subject is required.  All are welcome.
