Kavvanah of the Week
This year we are exploring kavvanot - short orientations or intentions that reflect the part of ourselves that we bring to a particular moment.
 
Kavvanot can be used for moments and actions of any size and significance. 

All over the world, rabbis have been writing prayers and kavvanot related to the COVID-19 vaccine. Here is one by Rabbi Karen Reiss Medwed:
With gratitude and thanksgiving
to The Healer of repairable hearts
and restorer of broken-ness,
appreciation and thanks
for inspiring the medical teams and scientists
granting them the wisdom, knowledge and expertise
to prepare this vaccine for all of us.
May it be your will
that with my vaccination
I will be granted the ability
to heal and keep safe humankind
and be granted the privilege
to fulfill the mitzvah of one who saves a life.
Blessed are You
Healer of all who are sick.
Parashat Vayigash
Torah: Genesis 45:28 - 46:27
Maftir: Genesis 46:23-27
Haftarah: Ezekiel 37:15-28

The Torah reading for this week is in the panel above. If you do not have a Humash at home you can find it on the link below. We are reading Triennial Year 2, but you might like to read the full portion (“Full Kriyah”).
Brochure
Our Shabbat brochure with yahrzeits and simchas for this week is attached. You might wish to take special notice of those who are sick and take a moment to direct your thoughts towards them.
