Shabbat Blessings

We gather together on Zoom as a community to make Shabbos this Friday, September 26, at 6:45 PM. It is a great way to celebrate Shabbos together while still having Shabbat in your own homes.

On non-holiday days we still gather together on weekday mornings on Zoom for a short fifteen minutes of prayer and study. Please join us.

This Week's Torah Portion
Parashat Vayelach

(Devarim/Deuteronomy 31:1-30)

This special week, during the Yamim Noraim-the Days of Awe from Rosh Hashanah thru Yom Kippur, we read of Moses passing the torch of leadership to Joshua. We learn that we must always look for new voices, and welcome in the next generation of leadership.
