I've been reading the Torah portion each week for twenty years (usually reading one part per day), but the last year a bit have seemed different, somehow more like a communing with God and Jewish history. I try to look at some classic commentators, which also helps with that. I think Torah is the glue that has held the Jewish people together, or Torah and Shabbat. It is the common reference point across all times and places.

Are you going to share your thoughts weekly?

That would make a great prompt for a weekly post. Maybe 🤔

Praying with you and also feeling hope and dread. I have been so invested in the Bibas family, as so many of us have, they feel like my own. I need to believe they’re ok. They have to be.

Where did you find your weekly Torah study group? I know my husband would be interested in something like that.

I found it through a friend of the facilitator. I’m not sure if we’ve reached our maximum or not. I can ask this coming Monday if you’d like?
