Shabbat @ Home
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW HOST FAMILIES FOR SHABBAT @ HOME.
Please open your home to offer a warm and welcoming Shabbat dinner .

We will supply each host with a guest list of people to invite. You can either cook the meal yourself or make it pot luck. We ask that the meal be either vegetarian or kosher style.
If you have any questions and if you would be willing to host, please do not hesitate to reach out to Yael Hurwitz-Lange yael@mishkantefila.org , or the co-chairs: Laurie Brownstein lauriebrownstein@gmail.com Esther Finkielsztein estherfin@live.

Our shared vision of creating an exciting new model of American Judaism by being an innovator in the 384 Campus and bringing joyful, inclusive Judaism to the community is now a reality.
Along with the leadership, programming, and support you expect, appreciate, and count on, as Congregation Mishkan Tefila continues to expand our community your generous community support pledge will also make it possible for us to enhance and enrich our offerings. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply meaningful and helps make it possible for Congregation Mishkan Tefila to be a full-service congregation and open year-round.

Weekly D'var
A Teaching
Our parasha this week includes one of my favourite texts: Tzedek, Tzedek, Tirdof—Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue. It talks about the vital role of judges and the justice system to be impartial, honest and fair to all. It sets the gold standard for the role of truth and law in maintaining a healthy society. The parasha has so much in it, that I thought you might enjoy a short fun video that shows the value of our parasha in today’s times.
