Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Vayeira, Genesis 18:1-22:24. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 16, at 10:00 a.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Does one bad apple spoil the barrel or does one bad apple not spoil the bunch? In this week’s portion, Abraham argues with God to spare the people of Sodom and Gemorrah if he can find fifty innocent people among the wicked there, eventually getting God to agree to save the cities if they can find ten good people. Where do you think that threshold should be? How many rotten apples actually do spoil the barrel – and how many good ones make it worth saving?
