Please click here to read Lily's's Chesed Reporter
Acts of chesed (loving kindness) are an essential part of TJC’s B’nai Mitzvah experience. Typically during the 6th grade year, every student commits to 10 or more hours of hands-on community service. At the conclusion of the experience, students reflect on what they accomplished and learned in the Chesed Reporter. Since the Chesed Reporter is traditionally distributed in the sanctuary on Shabbat morning, we are now sharing it with the congregation in our Weekly Newsletter.

Rebekah, experiencing a difficult pregnancy with twins, is told by God that her older child will one day serve her younger child. Esau, the older, becomes a skilled hunter and outdoorsman; Jacob, the younger, stays more often in camp. Isaac favors Esau, and Rebekah favors Jacob. One night, Esau returns home famished and agrees to transfer his birthright to Jacob in exchange for stew.
In a recurrence of famine, Isaac travels south through the land of the Philistines. As his father had done, he at first passes his wife Rebekah off as his sister to King Abimelech. Isaac becomes very wealthy over time, which is understood as a fulfillment of God’s blessing, but eventually he is obliged to leave the area due to conflict over the digging of wells. Isaac returns to Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech initiates a treaty with him and oaths of peace are exchanged.
Facing imminent death years later, Isaac asks Esau to hunt and prepare his favorite game, after which he will bless him. Rebekah overhears and tells Jacob to kill an animal for her to cook and to impersonate his brother. Isaac is blind and, though suspicious, gives Jacob the blessing intended for Esau. When Esau returns and learns what has happened, he begs his father to bless him also and determines to kill his brother. Rebekah advises Jacob to flee to Haran to her brother’s house, ostensibly to find a wife from among Laban’s daughters. Isaac sends Jacob off with blessings. Esau, having previously disappointed his parents by marrying local Hittite women, finds another wife from among the daughters of Ishmael.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DAY SERVICE AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY CHAPEL
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2020 - 11:00 AM
The Princeton Clergy Association and the Princeton University Office of Religious
Life (ORL) are collaborating once again to provide a Community Thanksgiving Day Service at The Princeton University Chapel. Due to the current pandemic, the worship service will be viewable Thanksgiving Day on the Princeton OR YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqL-fM8ZUXN4lMUxo9Ji_uw .
The Service will be led by Rev. Alison L. Boden, Ph.D., Dean of Religious Life and the Chapel at Princeton University, Rev. Paul Jeanes III, Trinity Church, Rev. Lauren J. McFeaters, Nassau Presbyterian Church, Vineet Chander, Hindu Chaplain, Princeton University, Rev. Dr. Deborah K. Blanks, Mt. Pisgah AME Church, Rev. Bill Neely, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton and Rev. Dr. Theresa S. Thames, Assoc. Dean of Religious Life and the Chapel at Princeton University. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert will deliver her Thanksgiving Day Message. University organist Eric Plutz will play a prelude and postlude and accompaniment for the hymns. Featured musicians will be Deborah Strauss (violin and vocals) and Cantor Jeff Warschauer (guitar and vocals) from The Jewish Center of Princeton.
Viewers are urged contribute to local organizations providing critical support during the current pandemic. Instructions for how to donate to Arm in Arm and/or the Department of Religious Ministries at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center will be provided during the Service.
Please join this wonderful Thanksgiving Worship tradition of the Princeton Community!
This Service is dedicated to the memory of
Rabbi Adam Feldman, spiritual leader of The Jewish Center and Vice President of the Princeton Clergy Association. Rabbi Feldman’s deep faith, knowledge and enthusiasm enriched the lives of everyone in the Princeton Community who had the blessing to know him.
