Shabbat Shalom. Here we are at September, and the Hebrew month of Elul — High Holidays are right around the corner.
Here is Morah Yehudis‘ take on this week’s Torah Portion.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and in Boulder. May the remaining injured from June 1’s attack have a refuah shlemah, a full and complete recovery. Am Yisrael Chai!
