D'var Torah by Rabbi Rachel Bearman & Rabbi Paul Kipnes
At tonight's Shabbat service, Rabbi Bearman shared a
prayer that was written by our post B'nai Mitzvah students. Our 8th-10th graders created this prayer after learning about Jacob's blessing in this week's portion and then reading a wide variety of prayers that parents have used to bless their children. We hope their words bring blessings into your family's life!
Don't miss out!
