This Coming Shabbat

In Parshat Shoftim (Deut. 16:18-21:9), we learn about two extreme cases that each require some kind of communal response to be set right: First, we are told that we need to create cities of refuge so that people who accidentally commit manslaughter can be safe from vengeance. And then we learn how the leaders of a community need to respond if a body is found and it is unclear who is responsible for the death. How do we navigate situations where harm has been
done, but there’s no one to blame?

Our Shabbat morning service begins at 10 a.m. in our Seresky Sanctuary, and you can join us in person or on Livestream. This week, Marvin Wolfert will read Torah, Dena Kaufman will read Haftorah, and I will lead services and offer a teaching. Services will conclude around noon and will be followed by a kiddush luncheon.

Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Lisa Feld
