Weeknight Maariv Options
Every weeknight, about ten minutes before sunset, Beth David convenes a Minchah/Maariv prayer opportunity. For many members, the early winter sunsets make it difficult to attend public services. Effective this week and for the balance of the winter, YIWH will be offering Maariv at 9:00pm. We seek the support of our members and friends in maintaining successful minyanim at Beth David; but for those who need or seek a later option, YIWH will be open at 9:00pm.
