PARSHA SUMMARY Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a pomegranate and a fig to report on a lush and bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants of the land are giants and warriors “more powerful than we;” only Caleb and Joshua insist that the land can be conquered, as God has commanded. The people weep that they’d rather return to Egypt. God decrees that Israel’s entry into the Land shall be delayed forty years during which time that entire generation will die out in the desert. A group of remorseful Jews storm the mountain on the border of the land and are routed by the Amalekites and Canaanites. The laws of the menachot (meal, wine and oil offerings) are given, as well as the mitzvah to consecrate a portion of the dough (challah) to God when making bread. A man violates the Shabbat by gathering sticks and is put to death. God instructs to place fringes (tzitzit) on the four corners of our garments, so that we should remember to fulfill the mitzvoth (divine commandments). High holy days The High Holy days are coming and we still have a few Machzor sets available. Please call Sheila at 303-951-8221 to purchase your very own set. More High Holy Day information to follow. CHILDREN Is your favorite preschooler registered for the 2015-16 school year?
