Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Va’eira, Exodus 6:2-9:35. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, January 16, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, January 17, at 10:00 a.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever agreed to change your behavior and then reverted back to your original pattern? In this week’s portion, God sends the first seven plagues upon Egypt. After each plague, Pharaoh agrees to let the Israelites go, but then changes his mind. What does it take for you to decide to change? What makes you change your mind? And what would it take for you to stick to your resolve?
