TeleTefila.com exists to serve the davening and social needs of all those who have been closed out of their synagogues by the Coronavirus pandemic. We use ZOOM to hold Shacharit services every Shabbat morning, Maariv every Tuesday evening, and a Kaffeeklatsch every Wednesday evening. Other activities include a Tikkun Leil Shavuot, rooftop picnics, shiva minyanim, and festival meals — all done on ZOOM.
A group of friends from the West Side Minyan and Minyan Rimonim, both of which are affiliates of Congregation Ansche Chesed, founded TeleTefila shortly after Purim, 2020, when it became clear we could no longer meet in person.
What is our practice? On Shabbat, we daven Shacharit starting at Bar'chu and read Torah following the Triennial cycle. Since we don't have a Torah scroll, we read from a chumash without aliyot or Torah blessings. For more details about what we do at Shacharit, you can see our Order of Service. If you don't ZOOM on Shabbat, please join us for Maariv on Tuesday evenings.
Our schedule for the next few weeks is posted below, with links to the login information.
If you have questions, drop a note to info@TeleTefila.com. We'd love to hear from you.

Shabbat Vayera On this day, we will honor the memory of Master Leiner, Lower East Side history buff, and all-around good guy, Phil Gold. Phil would feed us on a Shabbat near the yortsayten of his parents: Dan Gold (father) 20 Heshvan; and Yetta Gold (mother) 18 Heshvan. We follow Phil's custom by holding our Phil Gold Memorial as close to those dates as we can. As we get closer to Nov 7, we'll decide when and how we'll have the Kiddush portion of the remembrance.
