I am off to Colorado today for my yearly Renewal Rabbi Conference called Ohalah (meaning tent). Tomorrow night is an extra special Shabbat because it is also Martin Luther King weekend. We will speak of this more at our upcoming service on: January 20th, which is also Inauguration Day!!
Christine and Mark Kuperman have once again generously opened their home to us for Services. Please join us on January 20th at 6:00 PM. I will once again share the Prayer for our Country that I had delivered at the InterFaith Thanksgiving event. We will also
learn a new melody to one of our prayers.
More details to come. Dinner is pot-luck!!
Kupperman's Address:
Send an email Information@beitchaverimmd.org if you need the address.
Here is the summary of this week's Torah portion!
Next week we are going down to Egypt!!!
Stay tuned.
Va-y'chi
[Jacob] Lived
Genesis
47:28-50:26
Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for 17 years;
Jacob's days--the years of his life--were 147. - Genesis 47:28
SUMMARY:
Jacob blesses his grandchildren Ephraim and Manasseh. (48:1-20)
Jacob's twelve sons gather around his deathbed, and each receives an evaluation and a prediction of his future. (49:1-33)
Joseph mourns his father's death and has Jacob embalmed. Jacob is buried in Hebron in the cave of the field of the Machpelah in the land of Canaan. (50:1-14) Joseph assures his concerned brothers that he has forgiven them and promises to care for them and their families. (50:15-21) Just before he dies, Joseph tells his brothers that God will return them to the Land that God promised to the patriarchs. The Children of Israel promise Joseph that they will take his bones with them when they leave Egypt. (50:22-26)
