Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Va’etchanan, Deuteronomy 3:23–7:11. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, August 8, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Has anyone ever made a promise on your behalf? How did you feel about it? In this week’s Torah portion, Moses tells the Israelites that it was not with their fathers that God made this covenant, but with every one of them. So, their fathers made a binding pact, a promise on their behalf. Have you kept promises that have been made on your behalf? What has been hard or easy about that?
