I am pleased to introduce the first Orthodox three times daily Internet Minyan (iMinyan) live streamed. The Internet Minyan will stream daily Shacharis, Mincha, and Maariv, except of course on Shabbos and Yom Tov. At the outbreak of COVID-19, Zoom Tefillah groups sprang up across the country. Many individuals davening alone at home did so together via Zoom. While not halachically constituting a minyan, this at least offered the feeling of Tefilah b’tzibur while in lockdown....

Coming Soon: I am pleased to introduce the first Orthodox three times daily Internet Minyan (iMinyan). While in these times it should be obvious why this is needed, even in ordinary times there are numerous people that would like to partake in a minyan but are medically or otherwise unable to. The iMinyan will be broadcast live daily with the ability to hear the full teffilah for the day including Kriyas Ha'Torah, Hallel etc. [ 48 more words ]

Let’s ring in the New Year with a review of the Ring Doorbell. As smart doorbells become increasingly popular, I have noticed the Ring appear on more and more front doors around the neighborhood.

The alternative to shabbos home automation. Shabbat Shalom!!

Last time, we discussed the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort Smart thermostat, which does not pose any Shabbos issues, and contrasted it to the series of thermostats by Ecobee that have several.
