Come and hear the tale of brothers reunited and how we all became Yisrael. For those who prefer more action, our parsha also has the story of Dinah, her brothers and the city of Shechem.
Have you seen our YouTube KabShab compilation? It's so beautiful, have a listen here. The real thing is even better - and we look forward to singing with you at our musical Kabbalat Shabbat at 6.30pm (mincha at 6.15pm).
Shacharit commences 9.45am, and this week we are thrilled to celebrate the batmitzvah of Willow Ziguras. Mazeltov to Willow, her parents Ilana and Christopher, and her sister. We wish you and your extended families much nachas and blessings and joy on this wonderful milestone in Willow's journey. Willow will be giving the Dvar Torah as well, and the community is invited to a Kiddush kindly sponsored by the family.
