שבת שלום
DAY 589
We continue to hope and pray for the release of the hostages.
They are front and center in our minds.
May God protect them from further harm.
May God shield the soldiers of the IDF so that they too,
can return back to their loved ones, in safety and wholeness.
AMEN!
Parasha Sheet sponsored by the Dickstein/Weinstein family to commemorate the yahrzeit of Stephanie's mother, Natalie Dickstein z"l.
Torah on Monday with Rabbi Malomet This story is so puzzling. Every phrase gives rise to another question. But at the heart of it, at least on this reading, is the question of what to do about this blasphemer. The fact that Moses does not have a quick answer, is really one of the great parts of the story. That's got to mean something.
Parasha Talk
We discuss the release of Idan Alexander, an American-Israeli who was held captive for 583 days, the complexities of Israeli and American citizenship. On Emor we discuss the story involving the man who blasphemed and what it means for all of us.
