TORAH PORTION

Shof'tim ... Judges
You shall appoint magistrates and officials for your tribes, in all the settlements that the Eternal your God is giving you, and they shall govern the people with due justice. - Deuteronomy 16:18
 
SUMMARY: 
  • Laws regarding both sacred and secular legislation are addressed. The Israelites are told that in every dealing they should pursue justice in order to merit the land that God is giving them. (16:18-18:8)
  • The people are warned to avoid sorcery and witchcraft, the abhorrent practices of their idolatrous neighbors. (18:9-22)
  • God tells them that should an Israelite unintentionally kill another, he may take sanctuary in any of three designated cities of refuge. (19:1-13)
  • Laws to be followed during times of peace and times of war are set forth. (19:14-21:9)

We're doing something a little different for this game
 night! Join us for some rounds of  'getting to 
know you'! For the link, send a message



High Holidays services will be streamed live from CNT
via Zoom Webinar and delayed/recorded via youtube. Unfortunately, due to the current crisis, there will not be an opportunity for in-person attendance. Still, we are doing our best to present the services in a meaningful, faithful, and professional manner. We aim to make it through these challenging times safely and return to our socially close on-site activities as soon as reasonably possible. The text of all prayers will be presented
on screen, but prayer books will also be provided to members upon request. Non-members can find them available
for purchase online relatively inexpensive. 

The schedule of services is: 
Friday, September 18
7:30 PM - Erev Rosh Hashanah 
Saturday, September 19 
10:00 AM - Rosh Hashanah 
Sunday September 27 
8:00 PM - Erev Yom Kippur / Kol Nidre 
Monday, September 28 
10:00 AM - Yom Kippur Morning 
3:00 PM - Yom Kippur Afternoon Discussion 
4:30 PM - Yizkor Memorial Service 
5:00 PM - Yom Kippur Closing Service + Havdalah 

Links to the online services will be sent to registered 
attendees when they become available. CNT acknowledges that many may be in financial distress during these challenging times. We want to assure the community that this should not keep anyone from having access to our services. Registration fees this year will be regarded as suggested donations. Please donate the suggested amount if you are able, but don't be troubled if you are unable. Ii you have been unaffected and have the means, feel free to be exceedingly generous this year. Despite the other problems we face, our congregation still has financial obligations to meet.

 Suggested donations are as follows: 
Active members in good standing - $0  
Adult non-members - $108 per individual 
Children 12 and under - Free 
Heathcare workers and teachers - Complimentary 
Yarzeits (remembrances of loved ones passed) - $18 each
