The Beth Emeth Youth to Young Family Email

Hey Everyone,

This week has been one of the most intense I can remember. With all the stress of life right now I thought I was going to break - I couldn't handle it anymore. And then, on Tuesday afternoon, my perspective shifted, thank God! 

Refocussing on the important things - simple family time, connecting to friends and community, and doing the things that I love - gave me the opportunity settle my mind and 'get back to business' with a new found focus and joy.

Starting this Friday, join me and Bryna Wechsler for "Pre-Shabbat Songs and Stories".
When: Every Friday
Time: 5-5:30pm
Where: ZOOM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88128611595

Monday night begins Lag Ba'Omer. 
Join Rabbi David for a Bon-fire Kumzitz over Zoom. Bring your instruments and sing (and lead) your favorite songs as a community. 
When: Monday, May 11
Time: 9:30pm
Where: ZOOM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81706277037

TORAH TALK FOR THE TABLE
with Rabbi David

Parshat Emor

This week's Parshah is all about the Kedushah (holiness) of the Cohanim. It reminds them about the importance of keeping their minds and hearts focussed on HaShem. The parshah finishes by teaching about all the special times of year: all the Jewish holidays and the counting of the Omer.

Discussion Questions

1. Why do you think the Torah gives a whole parshah to the Cohanim? What is the job of a Cohen?
2. The Torah also calls us a Kingdom of Cohanim. How do you think you are like a Cohen?
3. What is your favorite Jewish holiday and why?
   

THIS WEEK

In response to the COVID19 pandemic, all of our programs are going virtual!
