Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Arnow--Lots Happening! 11/19/2021
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Please note that the eruv (which permits carrying objects outside on Shabbat) is still down due to construction.
I want to share with you two beautiful divrei Torah that teachers of mine have written. One is by Rabbi Aviva Richman of Hadar, available to download as a PDF here, that looks at the rape of Dinah and considers how to imagine Dinah's perspective in the story.
The second, available here, is by my teacher Dr. Walter Herzberg of JTS, who looks at how various commentators understand the seeming superfluity of the Torah saying Jacob is both "greatly afraid" and "distressed" before he meets his brother Esau.
For more discussion of Jacob's preparations for meeting his brother, join Rabbi Shafrin for Torah Talk today at noon (link below). Please note that there will not be Torah Talk next Friday, November 26.
Candle lighting is at 4:27pm.
Tonight, we'll have our musical Kabbalat Shabbat and maariv in the sanctuary at 6pm. You can also watch the livestream, using the link below.
Tomorrow morning shul starts at 9:30am. I'll be speaking about different ways to understand the Torah's inclusion of an enormously long genealogy for Esau's family.
Saturday afternoon mincha, maariv and havdalah will be at 4:15pm and Shabbat ends at about 5:30pm.
There is much happening over the coming weeks, for Hanukkah, and after--take a look at our website-- www.kolrinahstl.org!
This Sunday at 11:30am, as a way of intellectually and spiritually preparing for Thanksgiving, we'll have an opportunity to learn once again with Professor David Koffman, who wrote the book, an award-winning book, on encounters between Jews and Native Americans in American history.
Professor Koffman presented for us in the spring on the early history of Jewish-Native American encounters, and this Sunday he'll focus on more recent history.
Details and the link to sign up are here.
Wishing you a Shabbat shalom, and I hope to see you soon,
Rabbi Noah Arnow
