RABBI’S CORNER
Shabbat Parshat Vayetzei
Dear Young Israel Families,
A few weeks ago, in my Shabbat Shuva Drasha, we
learned together about the central role that the
Mikveh and Taharat Hamisphacha (family purity) play
in the sacred relationship between husband and wife.
While much of this area of Jewish law and practice
pertains to women, it is incredibly important for men
to also understand this area of our Torah. And so, I
would like to invite all men to join me for a three part
“Taharat Hamishpacha Lecture Series” which will be
an overview of the laws of family purity, Niddah and
intimacy. We will also explore the Torah’s view of
marriage, sexuality, and Shalom Bayit. The classes
will take place Thursday night, December 3rd, 10th and
17th from 8:30-9:30 PM. Please RSVP to
rabbiweinstein@gmail.com to attend. I look forward to
a meaningful learning opportunity with you!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Jay Weinstein
