Around the Community

Social Action - Donation UpdateWe are no long collecting non-perishable foods for our local food pantries.  In order to respond to the ever changing needs of the community, we will send out alerts and update you as to what we’ll be collecting next.  Right now the Shelter Board is in need of twin flat sheets – new or gently used.  Please drop them off at the synagogue. Thank you in advance for your donations!

B.R.E.A.D. Investment DriveWill you invest during the congregation support drive? Tifereth Israel has always been a great supporter of BREAD. We're still behind our Tifereth goal this year. We are asking congregants who are able, to donate. Checks are payable to BREAD and go to the synagogue office. BREAD's Mission? People of faith building power to "do justice." BREAD's Vision for Doing Justice: BREAD provides a vehicle for congregations to practice justice by joining together large numbers of people. These large numbers of people give us a chance to "do justice."

Become a TutorHelp Tifereth Israel be a good neighbor! We're working with a local church, St. Philip Episcopal, to provide tutors for a "Homework Club" that they run for K-8 children in the area, Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5 pm. If you're interested in volunteering, contact Madeline Fleisher at mpfleisher@gmail.com for more details. No prior experience necessary, and high school students are welcome to help.

Israelites in the Promised Land will be required to bring some of their first fruits to the priests and to declare their gratitude to God for the blessings bestowed throughout history. They must also declare that they have tithed appropriately.The Israelites must literally put the commandments into stone.

A ceremony is described in which the people must gather between two mountains and hear of sins that take place in private, many of them sexual in nature.

If God’s commandments are fulfilled, Israel will be blessed in many ways. If they are not, Israel will be punished in dozens of ways, leading to their return to slavery in Egypt.

Moses reminds the people of the many miracles God performed during the years of wandering in the wilderness, including the defeat of several peoples.
