Video Parsha


Noah
Noah
T his week's parsha is Noah (Genesis 6:9-11:32). Rabbi Adler retells the story of righteous Noah, how he remained faithful to G-d amidst the corruption of the world around him, and built an ark filled with animals to repopulate the earth after the flood. Listen to the video to learn why there are rainbows, important life lessons, and finally, the difference between Noah's ark and the Titanic.

CBD Film Series
Sunday, November 24, 2019 
1:00 pm at CBD 

The multi-award film tells the story of a complicated relationship between an aging father and his son with special needs whom he abandoned while he was a child. Through the film's portrayal of a relationship full of love, rejection and co-dependency, it manages to shed some light on and question the importance of human life, human connection and if life is even possible without either one of them. 

Kindly RSVP to   Harris Chorney, or if you would like to help sponsor the film.
