A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY This week’s Parsha, Behar, contains various laws, including that of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. What I would like to focus on, however, is the name of the Parsha. “Behar” means “on the mountain,” which indicates its significance; the laws of the Torah were communicated to Moses on Mt. Sinai. But why is the parsha… Read More
Michael Supowitz Blog Post Last Wednesday, I helped to set up for FOTT Café. The decorations made by PA Cyber looked great–my favorites were the penguins. There also were snowflakes, ice cubes, icicles, and centerpieces. I felt comfortable helping to finish decorating. The FOTT Café theme decorations looked beautiful and reminded me of a winter wonderland.
My favorite thing that I have done at Friendship Circle in the past month is draw pictures. As an office assistant, I enjoy sorting money very much. My favorite memory of being an office assistant was when Cara and I put a bunch of fish on the board for Friendship Shabbat. In February, I am most looking forward to celebrating… Read More

A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY So, this week I’m in a bit of a conundrum. There is lots going on from a Jewish perspective (we conclude the Book of Exodus, we are almost exactly between Purim and Pesach) but the Parsha – Pekudei – is pretty repetitious. Moses is commanded by G-d to build the Tabernacle a few… Read More

Teen Shabbat Dinner Teen Friendship Shabbat was a huge success! This month, we took a trip to the Tuscan countryside—right from our Shabbat table. Friends gathered to enjoy a delicious Italian-inspired meal, great conversation, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It was the perfect way to end the week, surrounded by friendship, laughter, and incredible food. We can’t wait for the… Read More

A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY This week’s Parsha (Vayakhel) tells of the artisans, the expert craftsmen who produced the Mishkan, the Tabernacle where the Jewish people served G-d in the desert. What is most interesting to note is how little this differs from the previous portions where G-d commands it to Moses and Moses conveys to the Jewish… Read More
