Torah Study | Balak 5784
July 20 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm PDT
Saturday, July 20th – Parshat Balak. In this parsha, Balak is concerned that the Israelites will overpower the Midianites and Moabites and commissions Balaam to curse the Israelites. The Source of Transformative Love and Justice (YHVH) interferes with Balak’s and Balaam’s plan and rather than curse the Israelites, Balaam blesses them again and again. In addition, we have the appearance of a talking donkey (how fun and cool is that?!). We’ll explore together the notion of blessings and curses and how we might mobilize blessings to bring forth more truth, justice, love, and peace into our world. Hope to see you there.

We begin with Shabbat prayers and celebration of the universe at 9:30am PT. Torah study begins at 10:30am PT. We end at 12:15 with kiddush and schmoozing! If you join us in person, we will have a vegetarian potluck. Please bring something delicious to share with others.
We’d love to have you join us!
