Weekly Edition: July 26th, 2019

Shabbat shalom! We hope you are enjoying the summer so far. This Sunday, Morah Yehudis holds the first of two classes on the subject of “Reincarnation and Resurrection” of which she says “This is an important and mind-expanding topic on both a theoretical and practical level.” (!! Emphasis is the editor’s). Please take notes.

Becky O’Brien of Hazon Colorado posted Hazon Founder and President Nigel Savage’s blog post — definitely an interesting and timely read.

Stay cool, and have a great weekend. Here are this week’s posts:
