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, Havdalah at the close of Shabbat, Kaffeeklatsch every Wednesday evening. We celebrate the Jewish festivals and some secular holidays together, and organize virtual shiva minyanim when needed. We also schmooze up a storm, have online "picnics" and play Whist together. And it's all done via 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. Since then, our merry band has expanded to include new friends from Massachusetts to Delaware.
What is our practice? At Shabbat Shacharit, our service is slightly abridged and we read Torah following the Triennial cycle. Since we don't have a Torah scroll, we read from a chumash without aliyot or Torah blessings. We chant Haftarah every week. For more details about what we do at Shacharit, you can see our Order of Service. If you don't want to operate your computer on Shabbat, you can log in to our Shabbat services on Friday before Shabbat begins.
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.

updated every sunday evening, for New York, NY Torah: We read Torah according to the triennial cycle. In 5782 (2021–2022), we're in the third year of the cycle. Haftarah: We read the conventional Haftarah every week. If the Sephardic Haftarah is significantly shorter, we read that. Instructions: If you click on the name of the parsha, you'll get the chapter and verse for this week's readings. From there, you can click and get the actual Hebrew and English texts of the readings, curtesy of the Sefaria.org website. |
