Mishpatim (Laws) – Exodus 21:1 – 24:18
After the adventures of Genesis and the highs of Mt Sinai, portion Mishpatim leads us to lists of detailed, often boring laws. Why is this? Why does the Torah jump from the exciting to the mundane?
Yitro (Jethro) – Exodus 18:1 – 20:23
In Portion Yitro the Children of Israel meet a nation who will haunt them for centuries: Amalek.
The Hypocrisy of the International Community
At the conclusion of World War II, the world learned of the horrors that the Nazis had inflicted upon the Jewish people. For the first time in history, a nation had decided to fully exterminate another people, to eradicate the Jewish people from the face of the earth.
Nahala (Inheritance) -Winter 2024
I feel truly privileged to be leading
such an important organization, and
especially when I consider the wonderful partners that we have been working with over the years, such as the two individuals featured in this newsletter.
Happy Tu Bi Shvat!
Thanks to you, CFOIC was able to plant a grove of young trees in Gitit, just in time for Tu B’shvat! Tu B’Shvat is the new year for trees and is traditionally celebrated by planting trees and eating fruits and nuts native to Israel.
Bo (Go) – Exodus 10:1 – 13:16
In Parsha Bo Moshe is faced with plagues and impending departure from Egypt. However, he is concerned about the story that will be told to subsequent generations of the Children of Israel. What legacy developed and why is it important? Join Shmuel for portion Bo, the Nobel Prize, and the exodus from Egypt!
Maya Interviews Joshua Washington
CFOIC Heartland is proud to share this interview with Joshua Washington! Joshua is a musician, activist and the director of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel.
Vaera (And I Appeared) – Exodus 6:2 – 9:35
Did the staff of Aaron turn into an alligator? Why did the staff turn into a creature or an animal anyway? This event sent a message to Pharaoh that echoes today. Join Shmuel for the 10 plagues, the snake and the staff, and more Torah inspiration!
