This week’s Torah portion is Shelach from the book of Numbers. Shelach (send) tells the story of Israelite spies journeying into Canaan, the negative report they bring back, and the resulting punishment decreed upon the Israelites: to wander and die in the desert over 40 years. It ends with laws about sacrifices, the story of a man who desecrates Shabbat, and the commandment to wear ritual fringes.
Those who want to join Congregation Sholom should call Howard Brass at 714-396-0121 for a membership packet.
