Join Us for Shabbat Friday Nov. 25

Posted on 11/22/2011 by EtzAdmin

Shabbat Service 
Friday, Nov 18th, 8:00 PM at the Synagogue

Torah Portion: Toldot: Genesis 25:19-28:9
Haftarah: Malachi 1:1-2:7

While this week’s Torah portion, Toldot, is best known for Jacob craftily obtaining the older-son-birthright from his brother by bribing him with a tasty stew, the reading also contains a passage appropriate to our American Thanksgiving:  Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and I will bless you

The early Massachusetts settlers to whom we look back as the originators of our Thanksgiving holiday believed themselves to be a New Israel in a New Promised Land, transplanting the convenant made with our Jewish Patriarchs in hopes of making it prosper through piety and perserverence in a New World.
