Shabbat Shalom! This week’s Torah Portion is Vayishlach, Genesis 32:4-36:43. I hope you will join us for Shabbat Services this week: Friday, December 5, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, December 6, at 10:00 a.m.

Torah Question of the Week:

Do you like to hedge your bets? When you think there is a risk of something bad happening, how do you try to lower that risk? In this week’s Torah portion, Jacob is afraid that Esau is coming to attack him so he divides his people and flocks into two camps, in the hopes that at least one would survive. What do you do when there is a danger of loss? Do you make a backup plan?
