We begin 2021 with an instant Shabbat, and a Torah portion that means “He lived.” So may it be true for us all! Here’s a treat to send us into the New Year–USY and Koolulam made this little video.
As you know. we have moved temporarily to the triennial Torah reading on Shabbat mornings, for the purposes of keeping the people who come indoors to make a minyan a little more safe. This week, we’ll be reading from Genesis 49:1-26. We look forward to returning to our normal full parshah soon!
“The Angel who has redeemed me from all harm- Bless the lads. In them may my name be recalled, And the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, And may they be teeming multitudes upon the earth” (Genesis 48:16).

Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom, Happy 2021, and as always good health,
