Torah Reading 538, 935 Haftarah 1260
SHABBAT CHOL HAMO'ED SUKKOT
In the aftermath of the debacle of the sin of the Gold Calf, Moses expresses his frustrations in leading the Israelites. He asks God for guidance in his leadership of the people as well as a sign from God of God's continued confidence in him.
God commands Moses to hew out a second set of tablets to replace the original set which Moses has smashed in anger, and to ascend Mount Sinai. There Go d grants Moses' dual request. By granting Moses a personal revelation God reaffirms his trust in Moses, and in the content of this very special revelation God provides Moses with His chief attributes. These attributes are the means through which Moses will become a more effective leader - able to emulate God in his interactions, and to intercede with God on behalf of the Israelites in the event of their subsequent sinfulness.
Immediately following this revelation God promises to rid the land of its inhabitants for the sake of the Israelites so long as they foreswear idolatry and intermarriage, observe the three pilgrimage

Minha, Seudah Shlishit, Ma'ariv & Havdalah
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

Syria
Apparently, what is playing out in Syria Russian impatience with its dragged-out defense of the Assad Regime, coupled with an internal Russian rift over whether to embrace Iran or distance Iran:
Israeli Security Contacts with Russia Unaffected by Il-20 Crash
The Lies of Russia's Report on Israeli Culpability for the Downing of the Russian Spy Plane
From another source: "The command post knew about the scheduled flight of the IL-20 and had to prohibit the launch of the S-200. But it seems that the Russian military has completely lost control of airspace and control of the air defense system in the area of its main base of the UHF Khmeimim, and as a result, in fact, they shot down their own IL-20....The military leadership decided to [blame everything on] the Jews. It's better than being responsible for your own sloppiness."

Open to the public untilOctober 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 [...] "
