Exciting New Religious School Curriculum!
Join Cantor Dunkerley on a Zoom call on Sunday, July 26 at 9:30 am to learn about the exciting new Religious School Curriculum. The Jewish Education Center of Cleveland's robust K-6 curriculum was developed specifically to address learning needs in the midst of our nationwide pandemic. The year-long program will provide our students with consistent and engaging (problem-based, experiential, multimodal) learning activities that are responsive to our current need for virtual learning while at the same time balancing the challenges associated with having to learn at home with parental support.
If you are unable to make it on Sunday, a link to a recording of the call will be available on the Religious School page of our website.

Our Daily Bread Food Pantry!
Thanks to a number of very generous congregants, we donated another $2000, for a total of $3000, to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry in Danbury. We THANK YOU and those in need THANK YOU!
The pantry has been serving between 150-160 families each time.
Funds are still desperately needed, so any additional donations would be greatly appreciated.
It's easy - donations can be made through the Social Action fund - or by going to
www.dailybreadfoodpantry.com.
In more typical times, the Social Action Committee volunteers about once a month.
Jane Alexander, your esteemed co-chair of social action, continues volunteering there through this very challenging time.
Food donations are also accepted:
Food Donation Hours are now Tuesday - Thursday 10:00 am - 1:00 pm.
(Call the Daily Bread office at 203-748-3561 i
f nobody is in the pantry to receive your donation.)

This Week's Torah Portion
This week, we start the final Book of Torah - Deuteronomy.
It is a sort of summary of what's come before. But it often seems that in Moses' retelling, some details have changed.
Early in this week's portion, the story of the scouts is retold. Moses tells the people that "All of you approached me and said, 'Send men ahead of us to explore the land. Let them bring back a report about the way ahead of us and the cities that we shall encounter.'" (Deut 1:22).
But in the original, the suggestion to send scouts comes from a different source: "God spoke to Moses, saying, 'Send out men for yourself to explore the Canaanite territory that I am about to give the Israelites ... Moses sent them from the Paran Desert at God's bidding. (Num 13:1-3)
Has old age affected his memory? Or is Moses intentionally changing these details? If so, why? Join us for Torah Study at 9:30 am on Saturday, 7/25, to find out.
