Dear Friends,  
During these times we are all continuing our adjustment to the current situation.  Since our members are doing their part to flatten the curve, Rodeph Sholom wants to provide our community different ways to reach out and connect.   We are making these events available via Zoom.  An on-line group meeting platform.  Our new and current on-line Zoom events are listed below.  Please take some time to look through the offerings and find interesting event that can be helpful and fun.  You can participate with a group in your home or the group on-line or both.  

Noon chat time: This is an opportunity to simply sit and talk with each other about anything that we want to talk about. It is a time to be together and will begin daily at noon aside from on shabbat. 
Support Group: Dr Jamie Fernandez has offered to facilitate a support group for our members to help all of us cope and deal with the adversity that we are being forced to confront at this time. We ask that everyone come with an open heart and open mind. We also ask that every person respect the privacy of the other participants. 
Learn to Read Torah and Learn to Lead Minyan: The Cantor will be providing the opportunity for people to learn more about our heritage and how to be an active participant and leader in our rituals. 
High School, Middle School and Elementary School Hang Outs: This is exactly what it sounds like. While we all want to be together… we are being forced to be apart. Once a week we can connect and check in with each other and see what is new in our lives.  

Most of the offerings will be using our standard zoom meeting room address.  Go to zoom.us in your browser, click on join a meeting and put in the meeting number which is 472-715-211, no password is needed. When there is a different zoom address you will find it on the grid in the next page. 
The rest of the offerings are pretty self-explanatory. Please let us know if you have any requests for additional offerings.  If you need help with the technology we can help you as well.  Please call 813-477-4030 and we will try and provide you with the technical support to join these events.   
B’Shalom, 
The Rodeph Sholom Leadership Team

CANTOR'S CORNER

 A minister, a priest and a rabbi were discussing when life begins.
"Those of my faith," said the minister, "believe that life starts when the heart begins to beat."
"We take a bit of a different view," said the priest, "in that we believe life starts at the moment of conception."
"Well," said the rabbi, "it is our belief that life starts when the kids move out and graduate from med school."
