Rabbi Galit-Shirah The First Triennial Cycle Torah reading this week is a double Parashah: “Vayakhel-Pekudei” and is also Shabbat HaChodesh, the third special Shabbat preceding Passover. The reading is from Exodus 35:1-37:16. The Israelites are given the procedures for Sabbath observance, donations for the Tabernacle and the appointments of the artisans who will create the Ark of the Covenant, the Altar and the Golden Menorah.

All Beit HaLev services use our special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.”

Beit HaLev and Rabbi Galit-Shirah are a part of the Union of Jewish Universalist Clergy and Communities. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. The services are joyous, meaningful and musical.

Beit Halev welcomes everyone who seeks a path to the Divine and doesn’t believe in labels. It considers all religions holy and valid.
