BIBLE STUDY TONIGHT @ 7pm: 

Zoom link: bit.ly/NafTorah

Jacob and Esau have a complicated relationship. We know about the wildly different personalities and Jacob's theft of Esau's birthright. This week (Parashat Vayishach, Genesis 32:4-36:43), we read about their reconciliation -- and their decision to live apart. And, like their father (Isaac) and uncle (Yishma'el), they come together after their father's death to jointly mourn him. 

What keeps pulling them together and pushing them apart? Please join Nafshenu's weekly Bible class on Zoom, tonight (7-8pm) to examine the attraction-repulsion in this patriarchal family. Zoom link: bit.ly/NafTorah.

FOOD JUSTICE: The Core Team is working on plans for a FOOD JUSTICE SUNDAY, where Nafshenu people make food bags for the needy while enjoying each other's company. Pleased email or call me (Rabbi David) if you are interested or have ideas: rebovid@nafshenu.org, 248-508-0874.

Nafshenu depends on regular support, as well as High Holiday gifts and one-time donations. This fall, we shifted to a new bank, locally based Firstrust (official bank of the Philadelphia Eagles.)

Feed the hungry

There's a rush of demand at the food pantry run by our friends at Prince of Peace. 

We're happy to report that Nafshenu members have donated $500 toward the POP food pantry in the past three months alone.
