Parashat Re'eh

This parashah emphasizes the concept of a central sanctuary in a place to be designated by God, to serve as the only legitimate site for sacrificial offerings and corporate worship. The Torah seems to fear that if the Israelites take over the holy places where the Canaanites worshipped, some of the residual paganism may cling to those sites and influence Israelite worship. Taken from Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary

SERVERS FOR KIDDUSH Members, if you are attending Shabbat services, we are looking for help right after the service for about 10 minutes to serve the food at our Kiddush. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to meet your fellow members. Please sign up for as many as you want between now and September 10th. Click HERE to register.
