FROM RABBI MORRISON
Dear Congregational Family,
As a child growing up, independence Day was more than fireworks and a barbecue. I was taught early on that we Jews should be especially appreciative of the country in which we live when we are able to celebrate our tradition freely.
Living for the first forty years of my life between Boston, New York, and New Jersey, I was always grateful for the freedoms shared by the public Jewish institutions we had and the security to practice Judaism in the privacy of our homes.
For the last twenty years, I have continued to feel the same way living and practicing as a Jew in the GTA. The abundance of synagogues, Jewish schools, Kosher outlets, etc. should not be taken for granted.
The large number of safe Jewish neighborhoods ought to be celebrated.
In this week's double parsha of Chukkat-Balak, we read the famous "Ma Tovu." The heathen prophet, Bilam, after unsuccessfully trying to curse the people of Israel, blesses them with the words, "How goodly are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel." While the plain meaning of the verse refers to the privacy of the Jewish home, the extended meaning interprets these words to include synagogues and study halls, the public institutions of Jewish life.
This past Wednesday, July 1, was Canada Day and I am extra grateful for the freedoms we cherish in this country to celebrate our Jewishness privately and publically.

BECOME A SPONSOR
In our new norm with online Clergy led private services, Divrei Torah, Torah Readings, Cantorial Music, Rabbi Lectures and Classes, you too can also sponsor one of these weekly online live sessions in honour of your Simchas or in memory of your loved ones for a donation of $54.
Your generous sponsorship will be included in the weekly e-blast, as well as mentioned by the clergy at the beginning and end of the online live session you are sponsoring. While we are temporarily closed due to this health crisis, it is imperative we continue to keep our synagogue operating at this time thereby ensuring we are able to once again open our doors to you - our dedicated members, and to the Jewish community when it is viable to do so.
The Executive, Board and Clergy thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. Best wishes for a healthy and safe Shabbat.
