Shabbat Bemidbar
23 Iyar 5786 (May 10, 2026)

How often do we lose our focus because we are used to doing something? For example, many of us don't even think about walking, we just get up and move our legs and they take us to where we want to go. Awareness is so important and we try to be aware, but it is easy to let ourselves become distracted by other things. Now we can certainly say that if we really didn't pay attention to the repetitive moving of our feet taking us places, not much would happen. I mean we make sure we don't step in a hole or something, but we never really "watch our step." However, certain things can not be left to automation, and two of the most important are prayer and meditation. One way to heal our thinking is to increase our awareness. This week try to see if you can pay more attention to some of the things that you normally do without much thought. May we be blessed with awareness in every aspect of our lives.

Tzedakah
The word צדקה "tzedakah" in Hebrew often is translated as charity, but it actually comes from the root צדק "tzedek" which means righteousness. The addition of the letter ה "Hei" connects righteousness to Malchut. Many people say "giving" tzedakah, but the more appropriate phrase is "doing" tzedakah. Tzedakah is in many ways an exchange of energy and is a visible expression of gratitude in this world for that which we have received, especially when we receive it from an organization that helps us to grow spiritually. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Click Here to make an online donation. Visit our DONATE page in order to donate using other methods.

Your Hebrew Name
At the end of the Amidah, we whisper a verse from the Tanach which is associated with our Hebrew name. Would you like to know your Hebrew name and the verse that corresponds to your name? Or would you like us to help you choose a Hebrew name and even have a certificate with your Hebrew name and verse? Email Us for more information.
