Parashat Ki Tavo 5775/2015 (Triennial II) -- The Power of Blessing Blessings are all around us; some are hidden and some are plain to see. It is part of the human condition to search out blessings because we know they have power. But what is that power? What makes us yearn to say "I bless you" and to experience the feeling of being blessed? Join us to discuss the power of blessing through the lens of four discrete blessings in this week's Torah portion (Deuteronomy 28:3-6). Photo taken from -- Photo taken by C.

Parashat Ki Tavo (כי תבוא) — Having a Positive Outlook

Parashat Ki Tavo 2014/5774 (Triennial I) -- Having a Positive Outlook In this week's Torah portion, the Israelites ask God to look upon them positively: "Look down (hashkifah) from Your holy abode, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel" (Deuteronomy 26:15). What gives the Israelites the confidence that God will look upon them positively, and is there a lesson from this on how we can retain a positive outlook even in gloomy moments? We will explore this question of how to have a positive outlook through an exploration of the hebrew term used in this verse -- "hashkafah." Please join us for this fascinating class!   Photo taken from -- http://irishbizwoman.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-difference-between-positivity-and.html
