Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Lech-L’cha, Genesis 12:1-17:27. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, October 23, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

What is the role of faith and belief in your life? What drives them for you?  In this week’s portion, God tells Avram (later renamed Abraham) to go to a land that God will show him and that there he will become a great nation, be given blessings (wealth) and that his name will become great. Avram, an adult, married, with a household but no children, chooses to follow this command. Have your faith and beliefs evolved over time? How? Do promises of future benefits encourage you to have greater faith?
