Vayetzei 5783 / וַיֵּצֵא

 

3 December 2022 / 9 Kislev 5783Parashat Vayetzei is the 7th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.

Genesis 28:10-32:3

Haftarah for Ashkenazim: Hosea 12:13-14:10 · 28 p’sukim

Haftarah for Sephardim: Hosea 11:7-12:12 · 17 p’sukim

Vayetzei (“He Went Out”) opens as Jacob dreams about angels going up and down a ladder, and then continues on his journey toward the home of his uncle Laban. During years of indentured servitude, Jacob marries Laban’s daughters Leah and Rachel, bearing children with them and with their maidservants, Bilhah and Zilpah. [1]

My Friday Night Topic will be:

 

Sometimes we are children of Jacob: wrestlers, reachers, strugglers. Sometimes we are Israel: achievers, overcomers. Both can be a blessing. 

Nosh and Drash Torah Study begins at 10:30am this Saturday morning, December 10th, followed by joyous Shabbat prayer. Very interesting topic this week! We will look at Parashat Vayishlach

[Jacob] Sent

Genesis 32:4−36:43

We will be having a major speaker from StandWithUs in January, who will be discussing the alarming rate antisemitism has grown both in the U.S. and abroad. Check the ad in this edition of the Shabbat-O-Gram. 

 

Judaism 2.0: The Jewish Home in a contemporary world will begin on Zoom, Wednesdays at 7:30pm beginning on December 7th, 2022. This class is perfect for those who our continuing the introduction to Judaism cycle, as well as anyone else who would like to learn both the traditional and modern/progressive understanding of Jewish ritual, culture and spirituality. 

It is indeed our community that sustains and nourishes us. Let us continue to be there for each other both in times of joy and sorrow. Now more than ever, as we have safely opened our Temple to in-person services and events, let’s make every effort to be present and engaged, for that is how we keep our congregation strong and vital.

We continue to wish Doug Refuah Shelaymah, may God bless him with strength and health, both of body and spirit. It is wonderful to see Doug back at Shabbat services!!
