CharryBehaalotekha Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 9The march to the Promised Land finally begins in this portion.Among the last details dealt with at Sinai are preparation <strong>of</strong> thelamps <strong>of</strong> the menorah, dedication <strong>of</strong> the Levites to their duties,observance <strong>of</strong> Passover on the 14th day <strong>of</strong> the first month in thesecond year after the Exodus and the making <strong>of</strong> two silver trumpetsto be sounded as a signal to assemble, to break camp or to takenote <strong>of</strong> other special occasions. As soon as the people began theirmarch, they began to complain. In response to Moses’ cry for help,God instructs him to gather 70 elders to assist him in leading thepeople. Miriam and Aaron then challenge Moses’ role as prophet.God vindicates Moses by punishing Miriam. These incidents <strong>of</strong>selfishness, even in the face <strong>of</strong> God’s miracles, set a pattern thatbecomes a prominent theme <strong>of</strong> Scripture—the struggle to raiseman above himself.Shelah Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 16In this portion, the <strong>Israel</strong>ites approach the border <strong>of</strong> Canaan,and Moses sends 12 princes <strong>of</strong> the tribes to scout the land. Amongthem are Caleb and Joshua. The scouts’ mission is to investigatethe natural properties <strong>of</strong> the land and evaluate the strength <strong>of</strong> itspeople. After 40 days, the scouts return bearing a single cluster <strong>of</strong>grapes so heavy that it takes two men to carry it on a pole betweenthem. They report that the land is indeed bountiful, but it isinhabited by powerful people living in fortified cities. The scoutsmaintain that the <strong>Israel</strong>ites are too weak to conquer the land, butCaleb and Joshua argue that, if the people have faith in God andHis promise, they will be able to overcome the inhabitants. Thepeople accept the majority report, thus incurring God’s wrath. Hedecrees that they will spend 40 years in the wilderness, until anentire generation dies out and a free generation grows up.Worship at <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Israel</strong> this Shabbat!sabbath sErvicEsFriday, <strong>June</strong> 8Evening Service6:30 P.M.•Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 9Morning Service8:45 A.M.Weekly Portion: Behaalotekha; Numbers 8:1 – 12:16Haftarah: Zehariah 2:14 – 4:7Sabbath Service Officers: Dr. Madelyn Gould and Dr. Laura GalB’nai MitzvahJILLIAN HOROWITZdaughter <strong>of</strong> Helene and Kenneth HorowitzJACOB LEVENTHALson <strong>of</strong> Nancy Bader and Michael LeventhalHavurah Service10:00 A.M.Junior Congregation10:30 A.M.Toddler Service11:00 A.M.Mincha and Ma’ariv7:45 P.M.HavdalahEvening ServiceMorning Service•Friday, <strong>June</strong> 15•Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 169:07 P.M.6:30 P.M.8:45 A.M.Weekly Portion: Shelach; Numbers 13:1 – 15:41Haftarah: Joshua 2:1 – 24Sabbath Service Officer: Seth HorowitzBar MitzvahJARED KAIMANson <strong>of</strong> Kim and Hon.
