Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is a double Torah Portion: Ach’rei Mot, Leviticus 16:1–18:30, and K’doshim, Leviticus 19:1–20:27. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever seen someone doing something they shouldn’t do? Did you tell them they should stop or that what they were doing was wrong? In this week’s Torah portion, we receive the Holiness Code – a series of mitzvot telling us how we should interact with and treat other people. One such commandment is that we must rebuke someone who is doing something wrong. For most people, this is very hard to do, especially since another commandment is to not embarrass someone. How do you do balance these two mitzvot?
