Shabbat Shalom! Here is Morah Yehudis’ take on this week’s Torah portion.
With the release of eight more hostages from Gaza through the latest ceasefire deal, it is imperative that we continue to support the hostages until they are all home. The weekly walk in support of the hostages continues this Sunday, February 2. Meet at 1 pm at Pearl St. and 8th. Hopefully, we will celebrate the release of the next group of hostages from this deal.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country. Am Yisrael Chai!
