Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Noach, Genesis 6:9-11:32. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, November 1, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 2, at 10:00 a.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever told someone something embarrassing about another person? Or had someone do the same to you? In this week’s portion Noah’s son Ham tells his brothers when Noah is lying drunk and naked in his tent. Noah curses Ham’s descendants, saying they will be slaves to the descendants of his brothers. Do you think this is an appropriate consequence? What consequences have you experienced in such a situation?
