SHABBAT SHALOM WELCOME April 13 / 8 Nisan Shabbat Parashat M’tzora Shabbat Hagadol Services led by Rabbi Michael Gotlieb and Cantor Samuel Cohen Torah: Leviticus 14:33 (page 663) read by Cantor Melanie Fine Haftorah: Malachi 3:4 (page1295) chanted by Celeste Erdley Greeters: Judy and Manny Baker This morning=s Torah portion, M=tzora, describes the ritual process by which a recovered leper is reintegrated into the community of Israel. As the Etz Hayim Torah translation suggests: AWe can read it as a description of the Israelites= attitude to the experience of recovering from illness.@ Thousands of years later, we too can learn from the ritual re-immersion proposed by the text. When it comes to the inevitable illnesses all of us face or have faced, such a return to health should include prayers of relief along with an important declaration underscoring a deep and heightened appreciation for life. We welcome you to join us after services today for Kiddush.
