In this week’s parsha, Aaron’s son and grandson take over his responsibilities as High Priest, and Moses designates Joshua as his own successor. Why is the new generation so different from their predecessors? Our Friday night service begins at 6:00 p.m. and concludes around 6:50 p.m. This week I will lead the davening and share a teaching.
Our service is designed to create a buffer between the work week and Shabbat rest. We aim to make the atmosphere like a family shabbat table complete with Candle Lighting, Blessing one another, Kiddush, and Motzei. Before and after the service we take time to check in with one another and share greetings (feel free to log on early). Our service has been abridged for ZOOM but includes familiar and new melodies, readings from the margins of the siddur, and some learning.
Shabbat Morning:
Jeremiah and Constructive Criticism
This Shabbat we read the first of three haftorahs of rebuke leading up to Tisha B’Av. Why does this rebuke come from Jeremiah?
Our service begins at 10 a.m. in our sanctuary, and you can join us in person or on Livestream. I will lead the davening and offer a teaching, Ellie Sirk and I will read Torah, and Noah Beit Aharon will read Haftorah. Services will conclude around noon and will be followed by a kiddush luncheon.
Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Lisa Feld
