A Message from Rabbi Peltz

What does God want from me? This is a question that I often find myself asking when confronted with difficult situations. When there is no clear "right" answer, how do we still act like a mentsch? Our Torah reading this week, Ekev, asks this same question. "And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you?" Thankfully, it also gives us an answer: "Only this: revere the Lord your God, to walk only in His paths, to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, keeping the Lord's mitzvot and laws...for your good." One striking piece about this passage is that it commands emotions - reverence and love. Emotions cannot be produced on demand.

Getting Ready for September!

We are preparing for a fabulous year in our Rabbi Albert and Sarah Lewis Religious School and HaMakom and Kesher High School programs! If you have yet to submit your membership and school registrations, please send them in ASAP so we can prepare for the upcoming year.
