1. Please have a siddur (prayerbook) handy. You can use any siddur you own, but please mark the major divisions in advance with a bookmark or Post-It®. We do not announce page numbers during services. Below are tables of the major landmarks in some of the most popular siddurim.
If you don't own a siddur, you can download the Shabbat Morning Service from Siddur Lev Shalem at the Rabbinical Assembly website. Look for "Siddur Lev Shalem: Shabbat Morning (with additions for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh)."
2. Several things we do in the service may be missing from your siddur or hard to find. You can now download all of them in a single PDF file.
3. You'll want to have a Chumash, Tikkun, Tanach, or Bible. Alternatively, you can print this week's readings by following the instructions here.
4. Virtual Kiddush: Please bring some food so that, after the services, we can watch you eat.
If you need help, please drop a note to info@teletefila.com. Email will not be answered during services.

We love you and we love hearing your voice. Unfortunately, ZOOM introduces a problem that did not exist when we davened together in person. On ZOOM, when you sing or speak, it totally drowns out the Baal or Baalah T’filah.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please drop us a line.
Since we began in March 2020, we've established a service that packs the maximum amount of content into the minimum length of time. Here's how we do it:
In general
Preliminary
Sh'ma uVirchoteiha (the Sh'ma section)
Shacharit Amida
Torah Service
Musaf
Conclusion
Kiddush -- You're invited! We take a 10 minute break to gather some lunch, then we make Kiddush (often just borei p'ri hagafen) and Motzi, followed by a leisurely schmooze.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — Shacharit
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — Musaf
QUESTION: For Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Av, some sources list the Haftarah as coming from Jeremiah but others list the usual Rosh Chodesh Haftarah from Isaiah instead. Why is that?
Rabbi Miles B. Cohen answers as follows:
"There are two prevalent traditions with highly respected authorities supporting each.
"According to one tradition, the Shabbat Rosh Hodesh haftarah supercedes (as usual) the expected haftarah for the day.
"According to the second tradition, it does not.
"The Isaiah haftarah for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh comes from the end of Isaiah. These are all chapters of consolation and inappropriate for the weeks before Tish'ah Be'av. (All 7 haftarot of consolation after Tish'ah Be'av come from Isaiah 40 and after.) Therefore, the haftarah from Jeremiah for the second Shabbat before Tish'ah Be'av remains in place.
"The Luah, under the halakhic guidance of Rabbi Joel Roth, follows the second tradition."
QUESTION: So why is TeleTefila choosing the Isaiah reading on July 10, 2021?
Answer: Because that's the Haftarah that Bonnie already knows!
Havdalah is at a different time each week. Please check the Calendar for this week's time.
[N.B.: When the time for Havdalah is after 9:00 pm (roughly, January through July), we open the ZOOM at 9:00 for schmoozing, even though it is still Shabbat. The schmooze continues after Havdalah, which is great for those who don't ZOOM on Shabbat.]

When should you light the Chanukah candles?
You can follow your community's custom, your family's custom, or your own custom.
If you're interested, the Chabad custom seems pretty straight forward: Since typical Chanukah candles last 30 minutes and they should last at least 30 minutes past Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim"), you light on or after Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim").
Day | Date | When | Time | TeleTefila online candle lighting |
Sun | 11/28/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 5:01 pm | 7:15 pm |
Mon | 11/29/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 5:00 pm | -- |
Tue | 11/30/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 5:00 pm | -- |
Wed | 12/1/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 5:00 pm | 7:15 pm |
Thu | 12/2/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 5:00 pm | -- |
Fri | 12/3/2021 | Before Shabbat candles (see note below) | -- | -- |
Sat | 12/4/2021 | After Havdalah | -- | After Havdalah |
Sun | 12/5/2021 | Nightfall ("Tzeit haKochavim") | 4:59 pm | 7:15 pm |
On Friday evening, among the very observant (including Chabad), the practice is to kindle Chanukah lights that will last about 1.5 hours. How that is acomplished is not clear.

Each week at the beginning of the Torah service, we invite people to share news of recent or upcoming happy occasions. No Hebrew is involved.
Birkat haGomeil is a prayer of gratitude, recited after overcoming a life-threatening illness or surviving a dangerous event. If that applies to you, you can recite the prayer, in English or Hebrew, after the Torah reading. The page numbers can be found here.
