Shabbat
This week we read Parashat Nitzavim-Vayeilech 5784 / פָּרָשַׁת נִצָּבִים־וַיֵּלֶךְ: Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30
In Nitzavim (“Standing”), Moses addresses the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of following God’s covenant. He declares that God’s commandments are achievable and “not in the heavens.” On Vayeilech (“He Went”) Moses tells the Israelites that he will not lead them into the Land of Israel, and that Joshua will take over. At God’s command, he writes a poem bearing witness to God’s covenant with the Israelites.
Jerry Mandel will deliver the Dvar Torah.

Weekly Shabbat Service
It is good to enter into the spirit of the Sabbath, a time in which our personal concerns drop away for a few hours and we get a sense of the larger meaning of life and fellowship.
Our services last about an hour. They include interactive songs and readings, usually supplemented by a lively discussion on important subjects. Often we invite significant and challenging speakers from within and outside our community.
