In this week’s parsha, Parashat Shoftim, we learn about the establishment of  judges and the commandment to have a just society. In this parsha the Israelites are on the banks of the Jordan river nearly arriving in the promised land. When Moshe commands the Israelites to appoint judges so that they can lead the society justly, the famous passuk of “justice, justice you shall pursue” is said.

On Wednesday 28 August our U14 Boys Football Team began our season with an away game to ICHK. We all set off with a good mindset and determination. 

In this week’s parashah, Parashat Re-eh, Moses delivers his final instructions to the Israelites before they embark on their journey to the promised land. Before sending them off, Moses presents them with a choice: follow G-d's commandments and receive blessings, or neglect them and be cursed.

In this week's Parsha, Parashat Eikev, Moshe continues his closing remarks to the Israelites, promising them that they would reach the promised land, and conquer and settle in it, thereby fulfilling G-d's promise to the forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This Parasha, Torah portion, begins with the word ואתחנן “and I beseeched”. Moshe, the greatest prophet and leader of the Jewish nation was not given permission to enter the promised land of Israel. Unable to enter the land together with the Israelite nation whom he had led out from slavery in Egypt, Moshe, begged G-d to at least let him see the land, even if he would not get to stay there.

It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome existing and new families to Carmel School for the 2024-25/5785 academic year.

The name of the Parshah, "Behaalotecha," means "When you raise". Aaron is commanded to raise light in the lamps of the menorah. More Mitzvot are given in this parasha but I want to focus on the story towards the end: The people of Israel are dissatisfied with their food and expressed how they miss the food in Egypt. They are then provided with the heavenly manna. They are still dissatisfied and demand that Moshe supply them with meat.
