Shabbat Shalom! Parashat Matot-Mas’ei

Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is a double Torah Portion: Matot, Numbers 30:2–32:42, and Mas’ei, Numbers 33:1-36:13. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Do you like to review where you have traveled? Do you do this with a scrapbook or a map or a diary? In the second of this week’s two Torah portions, Mas’ei, the marches and encampments of the Israelites’ 40 years of wandering in the desert are recorded. Do you share your journeys with other people? What is the benefit of remembering and sharing our journeys and the other occasions of our lives?

Want to learn about the Torah portion?

Here is a video summary of both portions.

Here is a written summary of Matot.   And here is one of Mas’ei.
