Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is R’eih, Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, August 22, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

What do you do when you learn you have a friend in need? Do you feel obligated to help? In what way? In this week’s Torah portion, we are told that even though there should not be any needy people because of God’s blessings, if we see a needy person, we must open our hearts and hands and lend them what they need. How do you help while giving the person the opportunity to retain their dignity?
