The Jerusalem Prayer List – 15 February, 2025
By Joseph Shulam The readings in the last few Shabbats have been some of the most dramatic in the whole Torah. This Shabbat's reading is doubly drastic.

On Shabbat, we will read from the Torah portion of

The Jerusalem Prayer List – 10 January, 2025
By Joseph Shulam Last Shabbat in the synagogues around the world, the reading of Genesis ended with Jacob blessing the twelve tribes – his children! The beginning of the reading of the book of Exodus starts with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. This Shabbat's reading now from the second book of the Bible, Exodus in Hebrew, is called Shemot – that is the "names." The first verse of Exodus starts with the following: "Now these are the names of the children of Israel w

The Jerusalem Prayer List – 06 September, 2024 by Joseph Shulam - From Jerusalem Israel // Mevaseret Zion Deuteronomy is a unique book in the Torah and, in fact, in all the Bible. The book of Deuteronomy is the speech Moses gave on the shores of the Jordan River before the children of Israel crossed to the land of Canaan, which God promised as Israel's everlasting inheritance.

The first word of the portion is also the name of the Portion. This portion is called Va'etchanan—a simple translation of Moses' words, "And I begged!"
