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 7, at 7:30 p.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Have you ever been tempted to do something that you were told not to do? Were you able to avoid the temptation? If not, what happened? In this week’s Torah portion, Lot and his family are escorted away from Sodom as it is being destroyed. They are told not to look back, but Lot’s wife disobeys and looks back… and is turned into a pillar of salt. What does it take for you to avoid the temptation not to follow an instruction? Do you need to know the consequences in advance?
