Torah Reading 30 Haftarah 36
B'REISHIT
The Torah opens with the story of the creation of the world by God in six days, culminating in the formation of the human beings on day six and the inauguration of Shabbat on day seven.
This numerical narrative is followed by the story of the Garden of Eden, in which one human being - Adam - is created initially, and the "Garden" and other life forms thereafter. Finding no suitable mate among the animals for Adam, God fashions Eve from one of Adam's ribs. We learn of two special trees within the Garden from which Adam and Eve are not permitted to eat; when they do, it results in their expulsion from Paradise (in Hebrew,
pardes
in a garden) and their mortality.
We learn subsequently of the birth of Cain and Abel, and the enmity between the two brothers, which leads to Abel's murder and Cain's banishment. A third son, Seth, is born to Adam and Eve.
The sidra concludes with a genealogical list that spans ten generations. The stage is set for next week's story of Noah and the flood, with a final comment about the sinful nature of human beings and God's regret in having created them.
Tonight at 7:00 p.m.
Tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.
Tomorrow's sermon: These things got me thinking: the upcoming Auction of Neil Armstrong's Memorabilia, the upcoming 50th Anniversary of Apollo 8 and the first "Earth-Rise", and the upcoming 50th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon. And then the clincher is that....the parasha is B'reishit!
Tomorrow at 6:00 p.m.:
Minha, Seudah Shlishit, Ma'ariv & Havdalah
Last week we ditched the planned reading and discussion for a reverse Torah Roll and "tour". We will make up for it tomorrow when...
During Seudah Shlishit we will read the shameful New York Times Op-Ed by the Palestinian Authority representative whose office was closed in Washington, DC:
Trump Is Giving Palestinians a Choice. We'll Choose Dignity.
The crisis between the United States and the Palestinians is taking a toll on my family. But as a diplomat, I can see the upside.
Yup, they choose the "dignity" of stabbing and shooting unarmed civilians, and then rewarding the perpetrators and "martyrs" with significant monthly stipends. And just as I said I would have given the Palestinians of ray of hope at the same time as the United States recognized (West?) Jerusalem as Israel's capital, I would have allowed the Palestinian delegation to remain in Washington DC, even as I cut off their funding. The only reason the President had to give for making his de-funding decision was: Taylor Force. kas

SIDEWALK SUKKAH By Avner Sher
Open to the public until October 9th
|
The Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan is honored to present renowned Israeli artist Avner Sher's Jerusalem 950m2 (Quarter acre) Alternate Topographies.
For this project, Sher looked at the intercultural encounters taking place in Jerusalem's Old City as a crossroads between geography and history, art and reality, truth and fantasy. The area of reference, less than a quarter of an acre, contains sites holy to the three major monotheistic religions, causing century-long battles. The city bows under conflicting ideologies and beliefs, attracting passions and fears, becoming a focus of faith and hope.

Resolutions I and II By Michal Alpern
Opening Reception - Friday, 21 September 2018,7-9 pm
21 September - 21 October 2018
|
"To lift yourself out of a miserable state- even by vigorous force- should be easy. I tear myself off the chair, stride around the table, exercise my head and neck, bring fire to my eyes, flex the muscles around them. Defy any emotion, I would welcome A. enthusiastically, if he comes to see me now; amiably tolerate B., swallow in long draughts everything that is said at C.'s, despite the pain and trouble. But even if that were to happen, one mistake, that is unavoidable, will stop it all, light and heavy alike, it will withdraw around and around in a circle [...] "

Dive deep into a world of dark, sparkling compositions and rousing, vigorous instrumentation with the music of bassist and composer Almog Sharvit. Like his name, which means "Coral" in his native Hebrew, Sharvit's pieces are colorful and diverse, full of rich, varied textures and amorphous melodies. This show will mark the debut of the Quintet, which features vocals, drums, bass, saxophone and vibraphone, allowing each aspect of Sharvit's multi-layered compositions to unravel accordingly.
