Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is B’reishit, Genesis 1:1-6:8. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, October 9, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Do you always know when you need a rest? And do you give yourself that rest? In this week’s Torah portion (the first in the Torah), God creates the world in six days and then rests on the 7th day, giving us the reason for Shabbat, a weekly holiday that Jews have observed for hundreds of years. Are you committed to giving yourself the regular rest you need? How and when do you give yourself that gift?
