From The Rabbi

 

Shalom Mishpocha!

This week has sped by and we are ready for Shabbat! Baruch Hashem! Nazir did such a great job last week as he became Bar Mitzvah! Baruch Hashem! We hope to see everyone on Friday night and/or Saturday. As usual there will be a desert oneg on Friday, and a lunch oneg on Saturday after services.

 

 

This Shabbat, we are going to have a special guest speaker. Please come and join us to hear Moran Rosenblit, founder and Executive Director of Hope forIsrael Ministries located in Jerusalem. Moran was born and raised in Israel and served in the Israeli army. He found peace and hope after receiving revelation of the Jewish Messiah Yeshua. The Lord’s vision in Moran’s heart is to share hope that he found in Messiah with the people of Israel. Moran will speak on how current events in Israel will affect you.

 

The Parashat for this week is Noach. Noah was a righteous man who walked with God. However, his level of righteousness, alone, could not have saved him. He was saved due to G-d’s unmerited favor! To survive global destruction, personal righteousness would not have been enough. Noah was actually included in that decree and was saved for only one reason: he found unmerited favor in the eyes of the L-rd. This week as we read the parashat, let us remember that Noah was a type of Messiah and the principle for that time of history is the same for now. Only by God’s unmerited favor through our faith in Yeshua do we have eternal salvation.

Don’t forget to bring food for the oneg and don’t forget to bring a friend!

 

Shabbat Shalom!
