This week, we learn of the first burial in our tradition, our matriarch, Sarah. Through Abraham’s treatment of his beloved deceased, we practice our burial customs to this day. Shabbat shalom!
How amazing is it that this week’s portion happens on this landscape? Shabbat shalom!

This week, in the last moments of the Torah, we read of the last breath of Moses. Deuteronomy 34:7-8 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated. And the Israelites bewailed Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days. So...
May our tents and our hearts stay open, our journeys be fruitful and our path the path of Torah. Chag Sameach! Happy Sukkot!
Shabbat of return, shabbat of repentance. Wishing everyone a shabbat of love and renewal.
Wishing everyone a healthy, meaningful and joyful new year.
