Shabbat & Adult Learning Announcements
Dear Beth El Family and Friends,
Please note that we are having services as with every Friday night, at 7pm where we will welcome shabbat, parashat Va’et’hanan.
This Sunday at 3 pm we continue our Intro to Judaism class for those who wish to refresh basics or are interested in choosing Judaism.
Cantor Ben- Moshe’s Message:
This week we read in Parshat Va’et’hanan two of the most important passages of the Torah-Moses’ recapitulation of the Ten Commandments, and the first paragraph of the Sh’ma. As we always read Va’et’hanan on the Shabbat after Tish’ah B’Av, it is interesting that so soon after mourning the day when “God turned against us” we once again reaffirm our loyalty to God. Just as we believe that God’s anger is temporary, so too our anger at God is (or should be) temporary. May all of us who mourn-individually over our own losses, or as a People-be comforted. Shabbat Shalom.Cantor Yitzhak Ben-Moshe
