Justice: What Does it Even Mean?

Zoom Torah-Bible study tonight, 7-8pm: bit.ly/NafTorah

Hi, my Nafshenu friends. This is Rabbi David Goodman wishing you Shabbat shalom and a great Labor Day holiday weekend. 
We're also in the Hebrew month of Elul, a time of preparation for the High Holidays and the New Year. The Nafshenu Core Team is excited about the upcoming High Holiday observances that start with ROSH UNDER THE STARS, an outdoor Rosh Hashanah service and family picnic on the lawn at Prince of Peace. It's at 6pm on Wednesday, September 22.

Our weekly Torah-Bible study on Zoom has lots of food for thought as we approach the holidays. Justice and redemption are the themes in Parashat Shoftim and its Haftarah. I almost wish the texts weren't so topical, so directly relevant to events in our country, in the Land of Israel, in Ukraine, and around the world. Thankfully, the themes give us a chance to think expansively and compassionately about the values behind the challenges we face as human beings, as Americans, and as Jews.

Please join us on Zoom tonight, 7-8pm, at this link: bit.ly/NafTorah.
