A Sermon by Rabbi Raanan
Power for the Sake of Heaven I would like to thank my teachers for their words and reflections that are part of this week's Torah portion. Sometimes the Torah portion matches the Haftarah perfectly. Usually, the haftorah is assigned to a parasha because of a connection of content and this time, the connection is perfect. In our Torah portion, Parashat Korach, a group of 250 men led by Korach, Dotan, and Aviram, question the leadership abilities of Moses and Aaron. Korach, who, according to the Midrash, was a very wealthy man, was not satisfied with what he had in life. He wanted it all and sold his vision to the people telling them that they are all inherently holy.
High Holiday schedule is getting finalized Services will be led by Rabbi Raanan and Cantor Martin Newman inside at JCM and on ZOOM.
