Torah Portion: Pinchas
Message from The Rabbi In this week’s Torah portion, Parshat Pinchas, Moses formally hands over leadership to Joshua. What is it about Joshua that makes him the best candidate to lead the people into Eretz Yisrael? CLICK HERE for my weekly video to find out what Joshua‘s greatness was and how that might inform what we expect from our leadership in Israel today. Shabbat Shalom!
Lahat Noam Shabbat Morning Fun for Kids aged 5-9
Lahat Noam This Shabbat Morning: Saturday, 23rd of July starts at 10:30 am and concludes at 12:00 noon. Bookings preferred, please register here REGISTER TODAY.
With a fun and inspiring kick-off event, Kehilat Nitzan's launch of Lahat Noam was a success. We look forward to becoming embedded within the shul community. Moving forward we have a lineup of fun-filled, interactive and enaging Shabbat activities that we know will get your children very excited. We hope to create the perfect Jewish environment for your kids during Shabbat services, giving you, the parents, a chance to take part in the adult service without the distraction of their children while providing a meaningful experience for them.
For our next activity, on July 23rd, we will introduce the religious values of our shul through some fun and interactive games. We will teach the kids an engaging Shabbat song, which the kids may participate in during the shule service. We hope to see many of you and your kids at the next Lahat Noam activity, as we know a lot of kids very much enjoyed the kick-off event we had just a
couple of weeks ago.
