Shabbat Shalom: M’tzora

Posted on April 8, 2022

Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat Greetings:

Torah Question of the Week: When you get sick, what do you do to get better? Do you seek the help of a doctor or other health care professional? in this week Torah portion, a m’tzora (someone stricken with tzara’at, which is described in last week’s portion) goes through an elaborate purification ritual with the priest to become pure again. While we don’t have this ritual with its associated sacrifices today, we have other rituals for healthcare. What are yours and where did they come from?

Kabbalat Shabbat services are at 8:00 p.m. tonight and Shabbat morning services, when we celebrate Men’s Club Shabbat!) will be tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Both services are multi-access: in person and on Zoom.  To register to come in person, please go to https://tinyurl.com/TBAY-Shabbat . The Zoom links can be found in the Shabbat Preview. Shabbat Shalom!
