This Shabbat’s Torah reading is “B’midbar” (In the Wilderness). HaShem instructs Moses in the election of the Levites, the tribes that is determined to be the attendants of the Mishkan, the Tabernacle. They must transport the pieces of the Mishkan to the Promised Land. Their duties included caring for the ritual items, the Ark and the cloths; they were also the musicians who embellished the worship rituals.

All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.
