All of Beit HaLev’s prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” are shared onscreen on Zoom, Facebook and YouTube.

“Naso” (lift up) focuses on the sanctity of the sanctuary, the laws of the “sotah” (the accused adulterous wife) and the “Nazir,” the men and women who dedicated their lives to HaShem by never shaving and never drinking intoxicants. As for the women or “Nazirah,” if they violated their vows, they were considered “sotah.” The Haftarah reading that accompanies the Torah reading is from Judges and recounts the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson, a judge, became a “Nazir” when Delilah cut his hair and he lost his strength.

Rabbi Galit Shirah conducts a weekday Ma’ariv service every Thursday for Sim Shalom, the online synagogue. Sim Shalom presents livestream services Monday-Thursday, with a different rabbi each day. To say Kaddish, pray for healing and to hear a spiritual message, go to SimShalom.com.
