In the Torah reading, “Vayeitzei,” Ya’akov is now married to twin sisters, Leah and Rachel. After several years of relentless mistreatment by his wives’ father, Laban, Ya’akov takes his family and flocks to return to Canaan and an uncertain confrontation with his brother, Esav. On their way, Ya’akov encounters HaShem’s angels, who represent the threshold between exile and home, but also the threshold between heaven and earth.
All Beit HaLev services use its special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale when we resume live, inperson services. Beit HaLev and Rabbi Galit-Shirah are a part of the Union of Jewish Universalist Clergy and Communities. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. The services are joyous, meaningful and musical. Beit HaLev welcomes everyone who seeks a path to the divine and doesn’t believe in labels. Beit HaLev considers all religions holy and valid.
