In this week's Torah portion, God sends snakes to help the Israelites face their fears as they travel through the dessert. Thanks to our friends G-dcast for this interesting, animated description of the week's parashah. QUESTION TO CONSIDER: What are the fears that each of us face? Why do we have those fears and how can we confront them together? Share your thoughts in the comments. // Post by Congregation Beth Mordecai.

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- Using God's Sword In this week's Torah portion, Israel destroys nations in its path l'fi harev, "by way of the sword." This term inherently connotes a military victory, one in which soldiers fight for each side. Yet by what right do the Israelites have to use their swords in battle? Does God give them that right and that strength to be victorious in battle or are the Israelites victorious in their own right? We will investigate this question through understanding the term l'fi harev, and by virtue of that discussion talk about what gives us the right and the strength to use the "swords" in our lives.
