TORAH PORTION
 
B'reishit ... In the Beginning
Genesis ...1:1−6:8
When God was about to create heaven and earth, the earth was a chaos, unformed, and on the chaotic waters' face there was darkness.
- Genesis 1:1-:2

SUMMARY: 
  • God creates the world and everything in it in six days and rests on the seventh. (1:1-2:3)
  • Adam and Eve are placed in the Garden of Eden, where they eat the forbidden fruit and are subsequently exiled. (2:15-3:24)
  • Adam and Eve have two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain kills his brother, Abel. (4:1-24)
  • Adam and Eve have another child named Seth. The Torah lists the ten generations from Adam to Noah. (4:25-5:32)
  • God regrets having created human beings and decides to destroy everything on earth, but Noah finds favor with God. (6:5-6:8)

Shabbat Candle Lighting 6:48 pm on Friday, October 13, 2017

 

" Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
- Closing Time by Semisonic
 
That line reminds me of Simchat Torah as we end our yearly reading and begin anew. We are closing out this fall holiday
season this weekend with multiple celebrations of beginnings.
 
On Friday night we will be having the largest group of children being Consecrated - 10 - since I have been a member at CNT.
This will be the formal acknowledgement of them beginning
their Jewish education.  The Torah will be laid out for them to see. This is an inspiring sight. If you have not taken advantage of this opportunity before please find time to attend.
 
Additionally, this is our fall ISJL weekend. Our fellow, Sierra Debrow, will be assisting the Rabbi on Friday, the youth group with game night on Saturday, and running special programs at Religious School and Youth Group on Sunday. Special thanks to the Baskin family for hosting Sierra's visit.
 
This will be a youth and family weekend at CNT.
 
See you Friday night.
 
Michael Gutenstein
President

TALMUD TORAH DURING OCTOBER 
"Talmud Torah" or, love of learning is our Religious School theme for the month of October. Our first school celebration will take place during

Ladies, let glass be your canvas!  
We will be led by our own Julie Berenson in a faux stained glass painting class. You'll get to select from a few different glass items (such as a vase, candle holder, etc) and choose an existing autumn themed image or create your own design to apply to the glass. You'll be able to take home your custom creation at the end of the evening. If you'll be joining us, please let
us know with the Evite.  We hope to see you there!
