Join us for our August 10 Kabbalat Shabbat service at 6 p.m., led by Rabbi David Fainsilber. Guests and visitors to Stowe are most welcome. The Jewish Community Center of Greater Stowe is located on Cape Cod Road, off Mountain Road.
If you are reading this on Aug. 9, consider viewing “Shekinah Rising,” the third of four Stowe Jewish Film Festival films. Montreal filmmakers Abby Neidick and Irene Angelico will join us for Q&A after the screening. The film begins at 7 p.m.
On Aug. 11 at 1:30 p.m., Sadie Ellner will become a bat mitzvah on the JCOGS bimah. Proud parents are Sarah and Israel Ellner. A vegetarian potluck will follow the service.
Our Torah portion for this coming Shabbat, Re’eh (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17), reiterates the idea that society’s behavior has consequences. Strict commandments are given for the Israelites to follow when they occupy the land. Important themes in the portion are the centralization of worship, injunctions against idolatry, kashrut and the laws governing tithing.
The literal meaning of tzedakah is righteousness or social justice. For Jews, tzedakah is not merely a gesture of kindness, but an act of justice. No one is exempt. Even those who are dependent on tzedakah are obligated to give something. Chapter 15, Verse 11, reminds us of our responsibility to eradicate poverty.
The High Holy Days are fast approaching. Are you ready? Don’t miss out on dynamic programming. Visit jcogs.org to stay connected.
