Dear Friends,
This week’s Torah portion contains the Shema and the 10 Commandments, which are among the most recognized passages in the entire bible. These two passages articulate the essence of Jewish faith and Jewish life: A covenantal relationship with God through the observance of commandments.
Join us this Friday night as we celebrate this covenant by rededicating a Torah scroll. We had a Torah scroll which had come apart at the seams, rendering it useless in two pieces. Two members of our congregation, Teri and Lenny Goldfield, took it upon themselves to learn how to stitch our scroll back together.
Hear the story of this scroll and take part in a rededication ceremony. Members of all ages are invited to share in this joyous event as we unroll the scroll for all to see and explore the details regarding how Torahs are made.
L’Shalom–Steve
