Congregation Beth El of Manhattan, a Conservative Synagogue of Two-Testament Judaism in Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1993.

Parshat Yitro this week gives us a range of obligations – from can or may through could and should into must. We examine what the path of the God-follower / Truth-follower is in a world in which people can, at times, alter even the meaning of words to give themselves leeway to harm or defraud their fellow-humanbeings. May Heaven give us the light we need to “put aside lying, and speak truth with one another” to degree our Creator desires – and desires so much, He offers to do the “heavy lifting” on our behalf, and in our stead.

We also thankfully point anyone wishing to Tithe or Donate to our Donor’s portal at https://www.bethelnyc.org/make-a-donation. Be sure to peruse the newly-revamped website-and DOWNLOAD OUR NEW “APP!!!”– and please do share these resources with others YOU are HOW this synagogue GROWS! :-) Shabbat shalom!
