The contractor has already begun renovations and we intend to (with Hashem’s help) be in the new center for High Holidays!

   In the interim until it is ready we will be in temporary space suite 3221 on the same strip as the new location. The temporary space is less than ideal but being there is a critical step in our communal development.

  What can you do to help in this process?

A. Please make extra effort to attend services and classes during this interim period. We must show our commitment as indiviuals and a community during this transition period.

B. Many of you generously contribute monthly or annually to DATA of Plano each according to his/her capabilities. While the landlord has given us an  allowance for renovations there are added expenses such as new furniture, fixtures…that will not be covered by the landlord. Please consider giving a seperate donation (beyond your pledge for the year) for these needs and furnishings. This can be done in the memory or honor of loved ones,parents…

  Please be in touch with Rabbi Zakon for donation opportunities.

Rabbi Zakon will be leaving with his family on a road tomorrow, Tuesday and returning August 17th. He can be reached on his cellphone during this time for urgent matters.

The final meal we eat before the fast should consist exclusively of bread and hard boiled egg  dipped in ash. The only drink at this meal should be water. The meal should be eaten sitting on the floor in a somber and reflective mood.

On the 9th of Av we abstain from the following:

1. Eating and drinking

2. Wearing leather shoes

3. Bathing or washing

4. Marital relations

5. Anointing ones self with oil

The only washing one should do is washing hands upon arising in the morning and after using the restroom. When washing at these times one should only wash the hands up to the knuckle.

Fasting is only for men above the age of 13 and women above the age of 12.If one is above these ages but pregnant,nursing or ill please consult a rabbi.

Monday evening and Tuesday morning(until midday 1:33P.M.)when sitting  one should sit on the floor or on a chair  close to the floor.

The 9th of Av does not have any of the limitations of Shabbos but it is preferable not to work on this day. If one must go to work it is prefered to do so in the afternoon.

Talis and Tefillin are not worn Tuesday morning but rather we wear them at afternoon services.
