Shabbat Message from Rabbi Moshe

Last Weekend and This Weekend

No CJC Shabbat service tonight, but join us on Zoom for the 6pm service with Chochmat HaLev. Details in R’Moshe’s email.

This week’s Torah portion, Tazria-Metzora (Lev 12:1-15:33), is what B’nai Mitzvah students and their mothers have nightmares about. It outlines purification rituals for women after childbirth and people afflicted by a skin affliction often translated as leprosy. It also covers rules for impurity related to bodily discharges of all kinds. San Francisco-based author Jennifer Traig summarizes the portion in a hilarious and insightful way here.

Dear CJC Members & Friends,

Can you believe it’s May already? The CJC Monthly Update will arrive Monday morning (as always on the first Monday of every month). That will provide a full report on what’s coming up in the next few weeks, but for now I want to share a few things to know, a few photos from recent events, and a few things that are happening this weekend.
