Siddur Downloads and Prayer Resources:
Morning Minyan – Siddur Sim Shalom: Shaharit for Weekdays
Evening Minyan – Siddur Sim Shalom: Evening Services for Weekdays
Since our minyan is virtual, we will not be reciting those prayers that typically require 10 people.
However, since this is sha’at d’khak, a time of crisis, we will recite the Mourner’s Kaddish in its entirety. For those who might prefer an alternative, we will make available the Rabbinical Assembly’s "Prayer in Place of Mourner's Kaddish".
Instructions for Connecting to Online Services with Zoom
The following are instructions on how to access Zoom,
the platform we will be using to bring you minyan and services
as well as Monday Night Learning classes and other opportunities to connect with the Beth Tzedec community. Please note that once you go through
the steps of installing Zoom the first time, you will not have to do it
again. Later logins will only require you to join the meeting.
We know this may be confusing and you may have questions. If you have trouble, please call us at 416-781-3511 during business hours and someone will reach out to try to help walk you through it.
