Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Vayak’heil, Exodus 35:1-38:20. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever gone overboard and done more than was needed? What happened? In this week’s Torah portion, the Israelites are over-enthusiastic in making the Tabernacle and Moses has to tell them to stop. They do so matter-of-factly and move on to the next tasks. When we are told that our efforts are no longer needed, how do you react? Are you hurt that you and your efforts are no longer needed or are you glad you have brought so much abundance?
