Summer in St. Moritz – 2024
update 03.09.2024
Dear friends, dear Mitpalelim of our minyan in St. Moritz, Chodesh tov, a giten choidesh!
Yesterday we davened our last tfillot in the mountains for this summer. Our team is very pleased that everything went so well. The community of St. Moritz played along, the weather played along, and – above all – you, dear Mitpalelim, played along. We hope that you all enjoyed your vacation in St. Moritz and have returned home safe and sound
The tent was taken down yesterday and we are more than happy that the effort was worth it and, above all, that everything went smoothly and without incident in these turbulent and difficult times. הודו לה׳.
I would also like to thank my colleagues, Dan and Josche, who have worked so hard for this minyan, as well as Nechemiya, our outstanding Gabai. And to all the others who have contributed in one way or another to the success.
And especially we would like to take this opportunity to thank the many small and large donors for our minyan. It is only thanks to these donations that it is possible to organize the minyan in this form. The unusually high costs incurred this year as a result of the special circumstances are not yet fully covered. But we know from experience that some people only send their contributions and additional donations after returning from vacation. So, we are quite optimistic.
In case that you still have outstanding payments from aliyot and auctions, or you would just like to send a contribution, we would like to remind you of the payment options:
Bank account:
Bank: Graubündner Kantonalbank GKB
Accout Name: Kremer Simon (Keren Bet Midrash)
Account Number: 10 104.555.700
IBAN: CH56 0077 4010 1045 5570 0
Paypal:
Paypal.Me/minyanstmoritz or

At this this opportunity I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בִּירוּשָלָיִם. May Hashem have mercy on us. And may He spare us from all the unspeakable suffering that unfortunately hit us last year. May He bring peace to each of you, your families and all עם ישראל . And let us see the coming of Mashiach במהרה בימינו.
שנה טובה ומתוקה, שנה עם הרבה אושר ושמחה, הרבה שפע וברכה, שנה של שלום
– שלום ביננו לבין כל הסובבים אותנו, שלום ביננו לבין עצמנו, שלום ביננו לבין בורא עולם
שתהיה השנה הבאה עלינו לטובה, שנה של התגשמות כל המשאלות, עם הרבה נחת יהודי שפע וברכה
אמן ואמן
עם ישראל חי – שנה טובה

Dear friends
Tisha be’Av is just ending and we hope that you all had a Zom Kal, an easy fast, and that our tfillot were heard and accepted in heaven. We are happy that until now everything went so softly with our Bet Midrash and people enjoyed the minyan.
As you know, our accomodation on the Ice Field has to be left this week. On thursday morning, the day after tomorrow, we will start building the tent just a few steps away on the left side of the Ice Field. We will start with the Tfillot in the tent iy’H on Friday morning. On Friday the Restaurant will also open and we hope that you will all be able to benefit from this exeptional possibility.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to Mr. François Bloch on behalf of all our fellow Mitpalelim. Thanks to his generous donation, we were able to set up this luxurious tent which will give us the opportunity to hold our Tfillot again this year in the familiar *bekovedig” setting.
Mr. Bloch sponsored the tent in memory of his late father, Jacques Bloch z.l. and so the Bet Midrash is also called “Ohel Yakov” in his blessed memory
May this generous donation allow Mr. Bloch to remain so charitable also in the future and in the best of health. Thank You, François!
Wishing you all a great vacation in the mountains of St. Moritz
Jonny
update 25.07.2024
Dear friends and Mitpalelim in St. Moritz
As you know, next Sunday, 28 July, we will start with the Minyan in St. Moritz. This will take place as usual on the ice rink until after Tisha beAv. First Minyan will be Mincha/Maariv on Sunday at 19:05.
Afte 9. Av we will move to the tent right next to the ice rink.
All Zmaney T’filah you find under the following link:
Good news for our guests!
Immediately after Tisha beAv – and this is an absolute first in St. Moritz – we will be opening a kosher restaurant on the ice rink, where we will be serving meals – a la carte – every day until September 1st. These can be eaten in the restaurant or taken away. The restaurant will be run by Moische Fein of “Fein & Schein Catering” under strict Hashgacha and we hope that you will all make ample use of it. Also, you will no longer have to order your Shabbat meals in Zurich. It can all be picked up in the Restaurant. Details will follow.
I would like to express my thanks to my colleagues Dan Schmelzer, partner since ever in the organization of the minyan as well as Yoshe Solowiejczyk who is new to the team, for all the work which had to be done to make this possible.
Looking forward to seeing you in the mountains

update 20.06.2024
Dear friends and fellow mitpalelim of St. Moritz
As already communicated in my update of 23/5/24, we are having a lot of trouble organizing the minyan this year. As Tisha be’Av falls very late this year, our dates clash with school times and sports events in the municipality of St. Moritz.
Thanks to our good relationship with the municipality, we have now found a solution which, although somewhat complicated, meets our wishes.
Our minyan will initially take place in the usual sports room on the ice rink. After Tischa be’Av, we will set up a big tent right next to it, between the ice arena and the horse stable building, which will have enough space for the Mitpalelim.
The minyan will take place from
Sunday, July 28th to Sunday, September 1st
Vacationers arriving before July 28 can attend the minyan at the Hotel Kempinsky.
Our program will be about as follows:
Sunday, July 28th to approx. Friday August 16th: In the room of the ice field
Friday August 16th, Erev Shabat until Sunday, September 1st: In the tent. (If enough people are interested, we have the possibility to keep it up for another week)
The organizers are pleased to have found a satisfactory solution and wish everyone a nice summer vacation with a “balebatish” Bet Midrash.
Jonny
P.S. As you can imagine, this solution is associated with considerable costs. A tent with the necessary infrastructure, twice moving, toilets etc. is not a cheap solution, but hundreds of fellow mitpalelim depend on it. We are therefore looking for a sponsor for this unique opportunity. For 500 x חַי = Fr. 9,000, we will name the tent with the desired name of the sponsor or a לעילאי נשמת,
i.e. אוהל יעקב בן שרה or בית מדרש פלני אלמני
so that the many thousands of תפילות בציבור in this tent will contribute to their S’chut or of a relative. Interested? We would be happy to talk to you about it.
update 24.05.2024
I have just been informed, that Hotel Kempinsky and its kosher program will be from June 28th until we start our minyan. By experience, it might be difficult to have a full minyan during the first week but there should not be a problem afterwards. If you want to make sure about exact dates you can contact Yochai Wahave: +41 78 607 50 14
update 23.05.2024
Dear Friends an Mitpalelim of our minyan in St. Moritz
As every year, we are planning to hold our minyan in St. Moritz this summer. The expected dates are:
Approx. 26.7.2024 – 1.9.2024 or 8.9.2024
(if there is enough interest, we will try to organize an earlier minyan too; let us know)
Tisha beAw falls very late this year, so unfortunately it is not possible for us to get the hall in our usual environment in the Ludains ice arena. All our efforts to find another suitable room have unfortunately come to nothing so far.
At the moment we are therefore discussing setting up a tent as an alternative, as we did during the Corona period. We will announce further information here as soon as our request has been granted and we have more details.
One more personal matter. For various reasons, I myself only have very limited time this summer to take care of the minyan. I will probably only be in St. Moritz for a very short time at most. My friend and “partner” in the “Minyan St. Moritz company” 😊, Dan Schmelzer, will support me as he does every year, although his time is also very limited. I hope you will understand if we are not always able to answer all questions about the Minyan immediately.

Dear friends and mitpalelim
Below you will find all the information about the minyan in St. Moritz which iy’H will start this Friday evening, Shabat Matot-Massai. We have taken all possible precautions regarding Covid and are grateful if you cooperate with us.
Venue: The minyan will take place in the gymnastics room of the Eisarena Ludains as in previous years. However, the municipality of St. Moritz has closed the previous access for safety reasons. This now leads to a metal gate on the other side of the ice arena (between the ice field and the horse stables) through which you can reach the minyan. You can see the exact route by clicking on the two pictures below:
Zmanim: By clicking on the link below you can see all the Zmanej hatfilah from 9 July – 22 August. You can also download and print (or save) them..
Zmaney haTfilah
Registration: Again this year, all Mitpalelim must register. This is done through a one-time “first time registration” with your contact details. After that, you only need to sign in your name once a day when you visit the minyan. (For Shabat please do it the day before or by email to stmoritz.minyan@gmail.com). You can also send us your “first day registration” by e-mail to the same e-mail address. Like that you avoid standing in line at the minyan. Here is the link:
First Day Registration
Safety: Unfortunately, fears that the number of infections is on the rise again are great worldwide and the authorities’ regulations must be adhered to accordingly. This concerns in particular the mask obligation, the hygiene regulations and the keeping of the distances. Furthermore, we urge all those who do not feel 100% healthy not to participate in the davening.
We had to submit a protection concept to the authorities and urge everyone to adhere to these guidelines. Please also read the update from 8.6.2021 (below, after the German version). You can find the link to the protection concept here: Link Protection Concept.
For all questions you can contact me as usual (jonny@kremer.ch or phone +41 (0)79 4006600). I myself will probably only be in St. Moritz from around mid-July.
I wish you a wonderful and relaxing holiday in the Engadin.
Jonny

Liebe Freunde und Mispalelim
Nachstehend erhalten Sie alle Informationen zu dem Minyan in St. Moritz welches iy’H diesen Freitag Abend, Schabat Matot-Massai, beginnen wird. Wir haben alle möglichen Vorsichtsmassnahmen in Bezug auf Covid getroffen und sind euch dankbar wenn Ihr mit uns kooperiert
Ort: Das Minyan findet wie in früheren Jahren im Gymnastik Raum der Eisarena Ludains statt. Allerdings hat die Gemeinde St. Moritz aus Sicherheitsgründen den bisherigen Zugang geperrt. Dieser führt nun auf der anderen Seite der Eisarena (zwischen Eisfeld und Pferdestallungen) zu einem Metalltor durch welches sie zum Minyan gelangen. Sie sehen den genauen Weg durch Anklicken der beiden folgenden Fotos:
Zmanim: Durch Anklicken des nachstehenden links ersehen sie alle Zmanej hatfilah vom 9. Juli – 22. August. Sie können diese auch downloaden und ausdrucken. Zmaney haTfilah
Registrierung: Auch dieses Jahr müssen sich alle Mitpalelim registrieren. Dies geschieht durch eine einmalige «first time registration» mit den Kontaktdaten. Danach müssen sie nur noch einmal täglich beim Besuch des Minyans ihren Namen eintragen. (Für Schabat bitte entweder am Vortag oder per Mail an stmoritz.minyan@gmail.com). Ihre «first day registration» können sie uns auch jetzt schon per mail senden, an die gleiche mail-adresse. Sie ersparen sich damit das Schlange stehen am Erev Shabat. Hier ist der link: First Day Registration
Sicherheit: Die Befürchtungen, dass die Ansteckungen wieder zunehmen sind leider weltweit gross und die Vorschriften der Behörden sind dementsprechend radikal . Dies betrifft insbesondere die Maskenpflicht, die Hygiene-Vorschriften und das Einhalten der Distanzen. Ferner bitten wir dringend alle diejenigen, die sich nicht 100% gesund fühlen, nicht an den Tfilot teilzunehmen. Wir mussten den Behörden ein Schutzkonzept einreichen und bitten alle dringend, sich an diese Richtlinien zu halten. Bitte lest auch nochmals das weiter unten stehende update vom 8.6.2021 durch. Das Schutzkonzept findet ihr hier Link : Schutzkonzept
Für alle Fragen können sie sich wie bisher an mich wenden (jonny@kremer.ch oder Tel. +41 79 4006600). Ich selbst werde voraussichtlich erst ab ca. Mitte Juli in St. Moritz sein.
Wir wünschen allen wunderschöne und erholsame Ferien im Engadin

update 08.06.2021
Dear friends and Mitpalelim
Finally the time has come – later than usual – that I can inform you that also this year, despite challenging circumstances, the Minyan will take place in St. Moritz. Due to a big event in St. Moritz, we could only now achieve that the space on the ice field was given to us again. The erection of a tent was not possible this year, because the space is partly occupied by a big event organized through the municipality of St. Moritz.
The minyan is planned for the period from Friday, July 9th to Sunday, August 22nd; as in previous years in the space on the Ice Arena Ludains. I will communicate more details about the zmanim etc. in due course.
In Switzerland there are still regulations of the BAG (Federal Office of Public Health) concerning Corona, that means the rules of masks, hygiene and social distancing as well as a maximum number of people in the room are valid. We do not yet know what these regulations will look like in the summer. However, it is impossible to avoid that we will have to conduct several minyanim at regular intervals during the high season. The details will follow. To enable us to estimate how many people we can expect in St. Moritz, I ask you to confirm me briefly with a mail, SMS (text message) or Whatsapp when and how many people will arrive (including children). (jonny@kremer.ch / +41 79 400 66 00)
I know that in our circles the official regulations are often no more taken seriously by everyone and are considered superfluous. However, we are – especially this year – extremely dependent on the goodwill of the municipality of St. Moritz and we want to maintain this good relationship. So if someone feels that he does not want to or does not have to abide by the laws then we ask him kindly to look for another place for a vacation or a minyan. Neither our “Shames” nor the organizers want to play police and in case of non-compliance we would be forced to close the minyan from one day to the next. And I am sure nobody is interested in that. I count on you
I look forward to welcoming all or many of you back in good health this summer. Meanwhile best regards
Jonny

(please scroll for the english version)
Liebe Freunde
Das Echo für ein Februar Minjan ist immer noch bescheiden. Mit Mispalelim aus dem Ausland können wir in der heutigen Zeit praktisch nicht rechnen.
Wir haben anhand der eingegangenen Anmeldungen entschieden, dass wir sicher ein Minjan haben werden für Schabat Parschat Schkalim (Rosch Chodesch) und beginnen am
Freitag, 12. Februar, Mincha 17:20 Uhr im Hotel Laudinella, Musikzimmer.
Schabat Schacharit: 08:30 (Hoidu)
Der Raum ist gross genug für die Abstandspflichten und wird gelüftet. Es besteht im ganzen Haus absolute Maskenpflicht!
Wir gehen davon aus, dass wir auch danach für mindestens eine Woche ein Minjan haben werden und werden also kurz vorher oder vor Ort über die Weiterführung entscheiden.
Ich wünsche allen einen gesunden Winterurlaub und stehe für Rückfragen gerne zur Verfügung. Ebenfalls bin ich weiterhin dankbar für eure Anmeldungen. (email: jonny@kremer.ch, SMS/Whatsapp 079 4006600)

Dear friends
The response for a February minyan is still modest. We can practically not count on Mispalelim from abroad in these days.
We have decided, based on the registrations received, that we will certainly have a minyan for Shabat Parshat Shkalim (Rosh Chodesh) and will begin on
Friday, 12 February, Mincha 5:20 pm in the Hotel Laudinella, Music Room.
Shabat Shacharit: 08:30 (Hodu).
The room is large enough for the distancing obligations and will be aired. There is an absolute obligation to wear masks in the whole house!
We assume that we will have a minyan for at least one week afterwards and will therefore decide shortly before or on the spot whether to continue.
I wish everyone a healthy winter vacation and will be happy to answer any questions. I am also still grateful for your registrations. (email: jonny@kremer.ch, Text message/Whatsapp 079 4006600)

update 22.01.2021
Liebe Freunde, mit meinem letzten mail vom 4. Januar bat ich um Bescheid bis spätestens Mitte Januar wer an einem Minyan im Februar interessiert ist. Die Antworten kamen allerdings nur sehr zögerlich.
Mit den jetzigen Anmeldungen können wir leider kein Minyan organsisieren. Falls sich jemand nicht angemeldet hat, aber vor hat zu kommen, erbitte ich Bescheid bis spätestens Sonntag Abend. Danach werden wir uns endgültig entscheiden.
Dear friends, in my last email of 4 January I asked for information by mid-January at the latest about who is interested in a minyan in February. However, the replies were very hesitant.
Unfortunately, we cannot organise a minyan with the current registrations. If someone has not registered but plans to come, please let me know by Sunday evening at the latest. After that we will make a final decision.
mail: jonny@kremer.ch or text/whatsapp: 079 400 66 00
update 04.01.2021
We finished our December/January Minyan yesterday. Baruch Hashem it was successfull and the Mitpalelim liked the new location at the “Laudinella”.
We can rent the same location again in February if there is enough interest in having a minyan at that period. To do this I have to know by mid January who is interested. Please let me know as soon as possible in case you want to join, what period we can count on you and how many men you will be. It is absolutely necessary to know this on time. You can let me know by mail: jonny@kremer.ch or text/whatsapp: 079 400 66 00
Looking forward to see you soon again

update 09.12.2020
Dear friends and Mitpalelim
The winter season is just around the corner. Corona continues to make davening together difficult and the current regulations do not allow us to meet in a private house.
We have provisionally reserved a room in the Hotel Laudinella and if the situation does not change we will have a minyan there from 23rd or 24th December (depending on arrivals) to 3rd January. Please let me know if you are attending and when exactly. Should there be any changes with the regulations I will let you know.
Social distancing and face masks will be mandatory.
There may also be a minyan on Shabbat Chanukkah. Who is in St. Moritz and interested? Contact me for details.

Dear Friends, dear Mitpalelim of the minyan in St. Moritz
Our minyan of this summer is coming to an end. Tomorrow morning, first day of Rosh Chodesh Elul, we will have our last minyan in the tent; in the afternoon it will be dismantled. The davening there was quite a memorable experience and we are happy that everything went smoothly.

Thursday, Mincha/Maariv together, 18:50
Friday, Shacharit, 08:30
Kabalat Shabbat: 19:30
Shabbat, Shacharit: 08:30, Mincha 19:00, Maariv bizmanoh
Sunday morning: 08:30
At the request of the hotel it is very important that you register in advance. Otherwise the hotel might refuse entry. Please call or send a Whatsapp to Yochai Wahave, Tel. +41 (0)78 607 50 14 for registration.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for all the generous donations to cover the tremendous costs of this spezial minyan. I am pleased to inform you that – with the promised sums still to be paid – we have managed to cover almost all the expenses. Kol haKavod! For those who have not yet had the opportunity to transfer their contribution or hand it over to the Gabbai here are the payment details again:

update 24.07.2020
Dear Friends,
With God’s help we have managed to set up our “Bet Midrash in the tent” in time. Tonight, Erev Shabat, iy’H, will be our first – albeit on a smaller scale – official Davenen there. Mincha will be at 19:05, Hadlakot Nerot not before 19:27 and tomorrow Shacharit at 08:45. Please do not forget to bring your own Sidurim, Chumaschim, Talles and everything you need. For health reasons we have brought only small reserves this year.
After the intensive preparation work it is now time to say some “thank you“.
I would like to thank the many mails from people from near and far who have expressed their gratitude and appreciation for making the impossible possible and – in spite of Covid-19 – for setting up an “Ohel”, a “Mikdash me’at”, which will allow the many visitors to have a regular, worthy Davening in the Alps. Of course I was very pleased with each mail.. But actually they were addressed to the wrong person. I alone would have never been able to organize all this by myself.
Therefore my thanks go first and foremost to Dan Schmelzer (he will kill me for that😊). With much heart and soul he has supported me – despite a full calendar – for weeks and months in all matters and only together could this work be completed. Thanks Dano.
I would like to thank Roni Shaffermann, who showed up at the “construction site” rather by chance and immediately, without asking anyone, lent a hand and was a great help yesterday when we were setting up the inside of the tent. that means to be at the right time at the right place.
I would also like to thank Chananja Schmelzer. You, Chananja, sacrificed a holiday day although you surely would have had more fun things to do than to set up our Bet Midrash. This makes you a real role model for all your schoolmates and colleagues what a “Kol Ha’osskim betzorche Zibur be’emunah” means. Can we book you already for next year?
I would like to thank all of you who have already volunteered to help us and those who will certainly do so in the coming weeks. Be it as Gabaim, be it for Kriat haTorah, as Baley T’filah or by participating with big donations and whatever else is needed. This is no small undertaking. After all, we will run about 160 T’filot Bezibur within less than 4 weeks and (based on the registrations, the numbers and days of our expected Mitpalelim) this should account for 7’500 – 9’000 times that a person will be davening with a minyan. May the Rsh’O hear all these T’filot.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my dear wife Mirjam, who once again has come up short because I was sitting in the office, busy with two “Corona-Minyanim”, instead of home. But you took it with a smile. Thanks and sorry. I will try to make up for it and devote myself more to the family in the next weeks 😊.
And I would like to thank – first of all – the Riboinoi shel Oilom for giving me the koyech and the energy to undertake such a project and – quite frankly – for even having fun with it.
Here are some pictures of our project “Bet Midrasch in the tent” . Just klick on them to enlarge!

Dear friends and visitors to St. Moritz,
Finally, we can give you some more information about the summer minyan this year. As mentioned previously, our main problem is that we need to keep a distance of 1.5 meters from each person to the other during our T’filot. We will have between 120 and 150 people after Tisha beAv which means that our normal room at the Ice Field is by far too small (we could only accommodate about 40 people).
Baruch Hashem we were able to get permission from the municipality of St. Moritz to put up a big tent just between the Ice Arena and the horse stables at Via Ludains (vis-à-vis the Denner supermarket). I have marked it in red on the below picture:
click on the picture for full view
The minyan will start on Friday, July 23rd in the morning and will last until Thursday August 20th. We will inform here at a later stage about the Zmaney Hat’filah; especially during the weeks after Tisha beAv we will have up to 3 minyanim for each T’fila daily.
Please note that we will have to keep the instructions of the Swiss government very strictly. And this not only because of the existing regulations but as well in the interest of all our Mitpalelim and also to ensure a good cooperation with the municipality of St. Moritz in the future and to avoid any Chilul Hashem. There will be a special update about the security measures also here in due time.
I therefore recommend everyone to check this website regularly. Thanks.
Please let us know if you are able to serve as a Ba’al Koreh in our minyan.
We are thankful to the municipality of St. Moritz that they gave us this possibility and I wish you all a great holiday in the Swiss Alps.
Jonny
Liebe Freunde und Feriengäste,
Endlich können wir Ihnen einige Informationen zu unserem Sommer-Minyan geben. Wie bereits erwähnt, besteht unser Hauptproblem darin, dass wir während unseres T’filot einen Abstand von 1,5 Metern zwischen den einzelnen Personen einhalten müssen. Nach Tischa beAv werden ca.120 bis 150 Personen an unseren T’filot teilnehmen was bedeutet, dass der reguläre Raum auf dem Eisfeld viel zu klein wäre (unter Einhaltung der Distanzvorschriften bietet dieser Raum nur Platz für ca. 40 Personen).
Baruch Haschem konnten wir von der Gemeinde St. Moritz die Erlaubnis erhalten, ein grosses Zelt genau zwischen der Eisarena und der Manege an der Via Ludains (gegenüber dem Denner-Supermarkt) aufzustellen. Siehe Bild oben; für volle Ansicht bitte anklicken.
Das Minyan wird am Freitag, 23. Juli morgens starten und bis Donnerstag, 20. August dauern. Wir werden hier zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt über die Smaney Hat’filah informieren; insbesondere in den Wochen nach Tischa beAv werden wir täglich bis zu 3 Minyanim für jede T’fila durchführen.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir die Anweisungen des BAG sehr strikt einhalten müssen. Und dies nicht nur wegen der bestehenden Vorschriften, sondern auch im Interesse aller unserer Mitpalelim und auch, um in Zukunft eine gute Zusammenarbeit mit der Gemeinde St. Moritz zu gewährleisten und jeglichen Chilul Haschem zu vermeiden. Es wird zu gegebener Zeit ein spezielles Update zu den Sicherheitsmassnahmen geben.
Ich empfehle deshalb allen, diese Website regelmässig zu besuchen. Danke.
Bitte teilen Sie uns mit, falls Sie als Ba’al Koreh in unserem Minyan fungieren können.
Wir sind der Gemeinde St. Moritz dankbar, dass wir diese Möglichkeit erhalten habe, und ich wünsche Ihnen allen einen schönen Urlaub in den Schweizer Alpen.

update 09.07.2020
Dear Friends
First of all many thanks to all of who have answered on our last update and shown the interest in participating at the Minyan in St. Moritz this summer.
We were surprised and impressed of the huge number of guests who will be in St. Moritz in spite of the difficulties caused by Corona. For the weeks following Tisha beAw we have to reckon with about up to 150 Mitpalelim. But this is also causing quite some problems to us. To keep the regulations of the Swiss government – and we intend to do this very strictly – the space of just the ice field is definitely to small. We are therefore discussing alternatives with the community of St. Moritz but we will not get a final reply before next week.
For the moment being we can only give you the following information:
- Be’ezrat Hashem – if nothing unexpected and unforeseen happens – there will be a regular minyan (or rather minyanim 🙂 ) from Friday, July 24th until Rosh Chodesh Elul, August 20th. (Maybe we can start already on July 20th)
- Unfortunately, also in Switzerland, the latest number of positive corona tests has increased again and Switzerland has issued new restrictions. People who have been in Israel or in the US up to two weeks before their arriving to Switzerland are forced to be in strict quarantine for 10 days. We are obliged to keep these instructions also for our minyan. and we hope of course, that no further restrictions will follow; this is not in our hands
- We will have a Gabai from July 27th until August 19th who will also function as “Corona Responsible” which means that he will take care that people keep the rules given from the government. (Hygiene measures, disinfection of hands, social distancing etc.). But – depending on where the minyanim take place – we will need one or two additional people for the whole period who will function as “Corona Responsible”. The same also applies for the period until July 27th. Otherwise it will not be possible to open the minyan. So, whoever is willing and ready to take this job for a certain period please let me know. (By the way, non of the organizers, including me, has a possibility to take this over. I just try to organize the things, but will not be a regular Mitpalel this year)
- There is an existing “WhatsApp-Group” regarding the Minyan in St. Moritz. It’s sometimes helpful for information and help. If you want to join this group just let me know by mail or text message.
Further information will follow iy’H next week. Best regards
Jonny (jonny@kremer.ch / 079 400 6600)
update 23.6.2020
Dear friends of St. Moritz from Switzerland and all over the world
First of all I hope that all of you are at good health after these difficult months of Corona.
We are in the middle of planning the minyan for this summer. Swiss regulations make it quite difficult this year to organize a minyan which guarantees the compliance with the rules of the government on one side and the health of all participants on the other side.
One of the main problems is the so called “social distancing”. We are obliged to keep a distance of 1.5 meters from each person to the other and our space at the usual locality is limited. We therefore clarify various alternatives.
To be able to do this it is most important to us to know how many people, more or less, have the intention to be in St. Moritz this summer and in which period. Right now we think that the minyan will be around July 31st until August 20th, maybe starting even earlier.
We ask you therefore to let me know as soon as possible, but latest by end of this week, to give me the following answers:
Name: ………………………………………………………………
Email: ………………………………………………………………
Planning to be in St. Moritz: yes / no
If “yes”, than: from: …………………………. to: …………………………………
Number of Mitpalelim: ……………… *
Additional comments: …………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
*please only add men and only over Bar Mitzva. Depending on space we might have to restrict the minyan to only grown up people.
Only with this information we will be able to organize the necessary space and the number of minyanim needed. Your reply is therefore very much appreciated and it is self-understood that in case of space problems we will have to give priority to those people who signed up. Even if you are not sure yet let me please know.
Please send your reply to jonny@kremer.ch or text message/WhatsApp +41 (0)79 400 66 00
I wish you a great and healthy summer, wherever you will stay, and may Hashem finish this pandemic disease soonest.
Jonny
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
update 23.01.2020 – regarding February 2020
there will be a minyan at the Hotel Kempinsky from January 26th until February 6th.
As from February 7th onwards the where and when is not yet decided. I will create a Whatsapp-Group for those interested. If so please let me know your Whatsapp Number and you will be added. Thanks

important update 24.12.2019
As wished by the majority of the mitpalelim we have changed the weekdays davening time for
Shacharit to 07:30. (We have to finish on time because of the ski schools)
Mincha/Ma’ariv together this week at 16:30, as from 29/12: 16:35
Winter 5780 (2019/2020) – update 12.12.2019
Dear friends
I am happy to announce that we will start with the minyan on Erev Schabat “Vayeshev”, Friday December 20th, 2019 (see the zmaney hatfilah further down)
- Please note that the Minyan will be again at the House Allod, Via dal bagn 1 , St. Moritz-Bad, at the apartment #110 on the first floor. Thanks a lot to our hosts!! Please be on time. It seems that some neighbours find a deep pleasure in closing the entrance door to the building on Shabat, when they know that we want to daven. And we cannot check around the clock if the door is still open. (During the week you can use the bell)
- On Shabat the main door is closed electronicly. Please use the small entrance two meters on the right of the main door which will allows you to enter through the skiroom.
- We do not have to many people yet so please make it possible to be there and please let me also know if you will participate (in case you have not yet done so)
- And please let me know if you are a Bal Kojre and can take over the lejning (or part of it)
- You can always contact me by mail (jonny@kremer.ch) or by phone/whatsapp (+41 (0)79 400 66 00)
It doesnt look like that there will be another minyan during January. For February it depends on how many people will let me know that they are there; until now I only know about 3-4 men …
Looking forward to seeing you soon
Jonny

Dear friends and Mitpalelim of our Minyan in St. Moritz
There is a big lot of snow in the mountains; so it’s time to start the winter season! This mail/message is sent to all of you to find out howm many people will be around and at what dates.
We will surely have a daily minyan on Chanukka.
I have to know who is here on X-mas/New Year and in February. According to the number of people I will try to find a suitable location. If enough people will be here in January I will of course also try to organize something but all this is only possible if i get your informations.

update Erev Rosch Haschanah 5780
Dear friends and Mitpalelim of our Minyan in the mountains.
The minyan we had this summer was b”H a great success and I am looking forward to organize it again iy”H next Summer. (of course there will also be a smaller minyan in winter, please let me know if and when you will be in St. Moritz.)
My thanks go to my friend Dan Schmelzer who is doing it together with me for his main efforts in keeping that minyan running.
My thanks go to all those who were actively involved even without being asked for and especially to the official Gabaim as well as the inofficial Gabaim who are always ready to help quietly in the background.
My thanks go to the community of St. Moritz for renting us this wonderful place and always respect our special wishes
But my biggest thanks go to you, dear Mitpalelim, to make it possible to keep St. Moritz a jewish place where all facets of our jewish community from all over the world have a place to feel well during their vacation and enjoy a “hejmische” atmosphere. Thank you all for for joining and also for your contributions for Nedarim, auctions or just davening which makes it possible to keep the minyan running for the next years. (In case somebody forgot to pay his promissed contribution or didn’t know where to transfer it, I repeat the bank details just on the bottom of this mail).
I wish you all Shanah Towah umetukah, shnat shalom vebriut, Nachat veHazlachah Ktiva veChatima tova

update 07.02.2019
Dear Friends, we will have again a minyan from Friday evening, February 15th, until Sunday morning, February 24th.
Smaney Tfilah:
Friday February 15th, Candlelighting 17:27, Mincha Kabalat Shabat: 17:35 (Shkia 17:45)
Schabat February 16th, Parschat Tetzaveh: Shacharit 08:30, Mincha 13:00 Motzae Schabat 18:32, Maariv 18:45
Weekdays: Shacharit 08:00, Mincha/Mariv together 17:30
Friday February 22nd, Candlelighting 17:37, Mincha Kabalat Shabat: 17:45 (Shkia 17:55)
Schabat February 23rd, Parschat Ki Tissa: Shacharit 08:30, Mincha 13:00 Motzae Schabat 18:43, Maariv 18:55
I doubt that we have enough people for a minyan before February 15th. .In case you will be there a few days before, and interested in a minyan, you would have to let me know (if you havn’t done so by now). If there is a real demand I can organize it.
Please note that the Minyan will be again at the House Allod, Via dal bagn 1 , St. Moritz-Bad, but this time at the apartment #110 on the first floor. Thanks a lot to our hosts!! Please be on time. it seems that some neighbours find a deep pleasure in closing the entrance door to the building when they know that we want to daven. And we cannot check around the clock if the door is still open.
On Shabat the main door is closed electronicly. Please use the small entrance 2 meters on the right of the main door which will allow you to enter through the skiroom
Another thing: When we had a minyan in December/January the key to the apartment went from hand to hand and was than given back to the lady who cleans and takes care for that apartment. (I don’t know who had the key last since I have left before). Apparently the key was given back without the blue electronic chip. Can those who had the key for a certain period please check if the chip is still with you?
For any further information you can, as usual, contact me by mail jonny@kremer.ch or phone/sms/whatsapp +41(0)79 400 6600.
Looking forward to seeing you in the mountains

update 30.1.2019
Are we going to have a minyan in February ?
Dear friends and regular visitors of St. Moritz
I will have to decide by the next weekend if we will have a minyan in St. Moritz in February or not. Until now I only know about very few people who are coming and I cannot organize it last minute. By experience i know that – unfortunately – many people just show up and than ask if there is a minyan today or tomorrow….
So p l e a s e let me know in advance if you are planning to be there, from which date to which date, how many man counting for a minjan, and if interested only for Shabat or also the weekdays. Thanks a lot.
my email: jonny@kremer.ch

update 2.1.2019
Dear friends and regular visitors of St. Moritz.
Yesterday we had the last minyan of the December and New Year season. The minyan is now closed for the moment. Here are some informations for the rest of this Winter
January
The way it looks there will not be another minyan during January, I have only very few requests. Never the less, if you are interested let me know with exact dates and how many men who count for the minyan. If I will see that we have enough people “for sure” than I will try to organize it.
February:
Also for February I do not have enough requests by now but I know of a number of people who showed interest. So please let me know by mail, text message or WhatsApp exact dates and number of men. That’s the only way to make it possible
March
Arjeh Wagner of STARGUEST is running a Kosher Purim Vacation at the Kempinsky Grand Hotel during the period of March 17th to 31st. So there will be a minyan there.
By the way: there is a “20% Early Booker Discount”. So if you are interested in this program hurry up and klick this link: Wagner at Kempinsky (nooo, I don’t get a commission 🙂 )
השבת אבידה
A pair of black gloves, branded “Reusch” was left at the minyan this or last week. If it’s yours, please let know
Contributions
If you have auctioned an Aliyah or made a Neder last Shabat and do not know where to pay it:
Bank Name: GKB – Graubündner Kantonalbank, St. Moritz
Account Name: Kremer Simon
Account Nr.: 10 104.555.700
IBAN: CH56 0077 4010 1045 5570 0
All contributions are used for keeping up the minyan whenever possible, for paying rents in Summer (thanks to the Family Sternbuch who – once again – allowed us to use their apartment for free during the Winter season), for buying Sfarim, the Shabat Kidusch, cleaning people and all which is needed. And if there is a surplus we will need it – אם ירצה ה׳ – for the all year minyan place which we still hope to have on day !

There might be a minyan next Shabat (Terumah, March 4th) but this is still very unsure. Since i am not in the mountains over that weekend it will be coordinated by Sam Bloch who is reachable on his mobile +1-914-325-9105. As I said, this is doutbfull and I guess the final decission will only be about friday morning. It is important that you let Sam know if you intend to participate. The minyan would be at the Hotel Kempinsky. By now we know about 6 or 7 people who would join.
As a reminder: We do have a minyan Shabat Zachor/Purim. If you are in St. Moritz please let me know. (And if you can lejn or read the Megilla even better 🙂 )

updated 8.2.2017
Important things have changed! Hotel Kempinsky has chancelled it’s kosher program in cooperation with Arjeh Wagner. This brought also changes to the time-table of a number of people visiting St. Moritz.
I still did not receive enough confirmations to really set up a minyan during February. But I know by experience that many people are coming without giving me any information and than they are surprised when there is no minyan. Therefore 3 questions to you:
- Are you intending to visit St. Moritz in February or beginning march and did not let me know yet please do it now
- Will you be in St. Moritz or know about somebody who will be this coming Shabat Parashat Shira, please let me know urgently. We are very close of having a minyan this shabat
- Do you intend to be there for Purim, please also let me know soonest
I just cannot organize a place to daven and a Sefer Tora if I am not sure that there will be at least 10 men. Due to the world championship in St. Moritz a lot of people have changed their plans… As from February 12th until begining March there are some Awejlim who have to say Kaddish. If we don’t get the minyan together they might chancel their bookings if I can not make sure that there will be a minyan.
I have not yet counted or completed the status as from February 26th since I thought that the minyan will be in Kempinsky. Let me know if you will be there.
To make it easier and keep you updated i have added a list thereafter with all dates and how many people are right now confirmed. I will change this list – im yirzeh Hashem – daily. So please keep the link and check it out. (I am not going to send out mails or text messages for each change; only if there is something important you should know)
I am always reachable by email (jonny@kremer.ch) and my phone (+41 (0)79 400 6600)

update January 25th , 2017
Dear friends and Mitpalelim of the minyan in St. Moritz
Here the latest update:
January 27th/28th, Shabat Wa’era /Rosh Chodesh: There will be a private Minyan in St. Moritz at Family Altmann, Residence Du La, Apartment 11, St. Moritz-Bad. If you are interested please call 078 6760714
February 1st to 25th: Until today I have only received very few mails or calls showin an interest in a Minyan so that it looks almost impossible to organize it. Even taking in consideration that all those who showed an interest will also show up, there is probably only a chance for the period of about February 18th -25th. But we are still far away from having a guaranteed Minyan. ( It looks like most Jews are afraid of the “Tovu vavohu” that will be in St. Moritz during the Ski World Championship 🙂 )
Therefore: If you are intending to come (sure or not yet 100% sure) please let me know by latest beginning next week. By then I will have to make decisions. If there will be a minyan at any time I will furter inform here. My email as usual is jonny@kremer.ch, my phone for calls or messaging is +41 (0)79 400 66 00. And please don’t forget to indicate exactly from when to when and the number of men
February 26th to April 2nd: The Hotel Kempinsky will run a kosher programm during that period and the minyan will be there. For further information of this program please klick the following link

Best regards

update January 2nd , 2017
Dear Friends and Mitpalelim
today, Monday January 2nd, 05:00pm Mincha and tomorrow January 3rd, 07:30am, Shacharit will be the last two minyanim. It will be in House Allod, Via dal Baign 1, Appt Nr. 209. Thanks to everybody who participated and contributed – in one way or the other – to the minyan on Chanukka. The lights of yiddishkeit are still burning in St. Moritz 🙂
It does not look like we would have another minyan this month since i did not get sufficient replies of people interested in a minyan.
The same thing is going to be in February. With no echoes I cannot organize a minyan. So if you a r e intersted you better let me know. About 15 people told me that they will be in St. Moritz last Shabat; at the end we were almost 40 squeezed in a small room at Shacharit. That way it is quite difficult to organize a minyan.
As usual, my email is jonny@kremer.ch, my phone number (+41) 079 400 66 00
Wishing you all the best, have a great Winter and I aom loking forward to see you soon again in the mountains

update December 12th, 2016
Dear Friends and Mitpalelim at the Minyan St. Moritz
We are happy to anounce that we will have again a daily minyan end of this year:
I would be happy for a short notice if you intend to be there in December. It helps organizing and in Winter there are always less mitpalelim than during the summer; especially this year when some “regulars” might decide to spend chanukka at home.
If by chance you are a Bal Korea or willing to take over part of the lejning please let me know. This would be great.since it is always a problem to find people who can and are willing to prepare
Looking forward to seeing you in the mountains. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, either by phone +41 79 400 66 00 or by mail jonny@kremer.ch (But please note that I will be in Israel until December 26th and only be in St. Moritz from December 27th onwards. But the minyan will also function without me 🙂
