Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is a double portion: Vayak’heil, Exodus 35:1-38:20, and P’kudei, Exodus 38:21-40:38. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, March 13, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

What was your experience the last time you were part of a group effort? What was it about the group dynamic that made it successful (or stopped it from being so)? In this week’s Torah portion, the members of the Israelites community build the Mishkan (the Tabernacle). They all participate, each according to their abilities. How do you help ensure that your group projects involve all your group members and allow them to each bring their individual skills and abilities and interests?
