WELCOMING SHABBAT

Shabbat is more than a day of refraining from worldly activity.

When experienced to its spiritual fullest, its holiness enlightens all other days of the week.

We invite you to enhance your Shabbat with these words of Torah.

Parashat Vayera: Why Believing in God Should Make You More Kind

Parashat Vayera: Why Believing in God Should Make You More Kind

Coopersmith, Rabbi Nechemia
October 21, 2021

“Abraham realized that he could create an affinity with God by emulating Him.  The more he resembled God, the closer he would become to Him.

An Infinite Being is the Source for everything and we all share the same Father. That means that all human beings are part of the family of mankind.

Every person is created equally in the image of God, invested with a Divine soul, no matter the color of skin, religion, cognitive ability, or sexual orientation.

We have a moral duty to extend ourselves and to give, especially to those who are the weakest members of society who need our help the most.”
