Shabbat Beshalach
7 Shevat 5786 (January 25, 2026)

The area of healing for the month of Shevat is eating. Are we conscious when we eat? Or do we simply eat so quickly and robotically because we don't have time. Eating can be a time of meditation. We begin by blessing our food. By blessing our food, we are elevating divine sparks within the food we are going to eat and we also imbue ourselves with an appreciation for what we have received. Chewing food releases those divine sparks, thereby nourishing us spiritually as well as physically. The blessing after the meal assures that we have elevated divine sparks and gives us the opportunity to be appreciative once more. Eating is an important and necessary part of our daily lives. Eating with consciousness elevates those divine sparks so that what we injest is not only good for our body, but also good for our soul. This week try to focus on how you eat and see how you can make your meal times a type of meditation and connection to the Creator's Light.

Seder Birkat HaLevanah
Our Sages instituted that upon seeing the moon at its first stages after renewal one is to recite a blessing called Birkat HaLevanah. The source of this blessing appears in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 42a) where the sages equate one who blesses the new moon on its proper time to one who greets the Shechinah (Divine Presence). Seder Birkat HaLevanah will follow the Motzaei Shabbat service on Jnauary 31, 2026 @ 6:15 PM EST. Go to EVENTS to join us.

SHOVAVIM
Shovavim begins on January 4, 2026. It is a six-week period of teshuvah (return/repentance). Shovavim is the acronym for the Torah parashiyot we read during this period: Shemot, Va-era, Bo, Beshalach, Yitro, and Mishpatim. Many have the minhag of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays and giving extra tzedakah. We invite you to join our community by going to our EVENTS page.

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.
