Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Ha’azinu, Deuteronomy 32:1-52. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, September 18, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, September 19, at 10:00 a.m. It is Shabbat Shuvah, the Shabbat in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, so our services will be enhanced with High Holy Days melodies and prayers. I hope you can make them, either in person or online!

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever been told you weren’t worthy of something or that you were undeserving? How did it make you feel? In this week’s Torah portion, Moses tells the Israelites that they do not deserve God’s attention and mercy because they turned away from God. When someone’s actions make you feel they are underserving of something, what do you do to allow them to make amends?
