Beit HaLev

Beit HaLev’s community prays for Israel, the Israel Defense Forces, the safe return of all hostages and a swift end to the Israel-Hamas War.

“Mishpatim” (Rules) is the Torah portion for this week. The second Triennial Cycle reading is from Exodus 22:4-23:19. This Shabbat is also Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar I; the Maftir (the final reading) is from Numbers 28:9-15, which is a listing of the sacrifices to be offered for the new moon. The Israelites are given the first collection of commandments, beginning with rules concerning slavery.
