• Rabbeinu Tam 9:27pm• One may recite Vayechulu (p. 346) even

alone. Preferably it should be said with another person. One does not recite Magen Avos.

• While one cannot fulfill the mitzvah of Torah reading without a minyan, it is commendable to read the Parsha and Haftarah to oneself with the family. The brachos for the Haftarah (p. 446) are not recited.

• Yekum Purkan is not recited without a min-yan. Some have the minhag to recite just the first Yekum Purkan paragraph (p. 448).

• Av Harachamim (p. 454) is recited this Shabbos.

• We recite V’Ani Sefilosi (p. 506) even though we are not reading the Torah.

We are hosting several limited Shabbos minyanim in shul this week, by registration only. The davening times below are for those davening at home. Please note that this flyer contains sheimos and should be disposed of properly.
