I slept in too late to attend the morning minyan so I’ll catch the evening one later. My braille display is acting weird though so I need to sort out why it’s just randomly scrolling through everything before I can actually use it. I’m hoping there’s a firmware update that’ll fix this.

Register here, and a Zoom link will be sent to you on the day.
