"The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him."
Exodus 15:2

G‑d commands Moses to take a census of the Jewish adult male population by collecting an atonement offering of half a silver shekel from each individual. The collected silver was melted down, and was made into sockets for the beams of the Tabernacle. G‑d instructs Moses to make a copper washstand for the Tabernacle.

Ki Tisah

Join us for Lesson 3: Ki Tisah “When You Take”, Exodus 30:11 – 34:35, in the ‘Shabbat Shalom: Portion of the Week’ series with the insightful teaching of Sondra Baras.

I Will Be What I Will Be

Among the questions that Moshe asks God before agreeing to except his destiny at the Burning Bush, is the question of what name he should use to demonstrate to the Israelites that God has indeed sent him. The answer he receives is 'I Will Be What I Will Be'. Is this a new name of God? What does is mean?

Here are some of the things that Gidon and Dr. Richard talked about:

• Thank God for our health and blessings
• We’re living the Life of Riley (what’s that?)
• God is in charge and everything is for the best and will turn out okay
• Isaiah 46 9-10: I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me
