Torah Portion
by Rabbi Kalman Packouz
This is the Torah portion containing the giving of the Ten
Commandments. Did you know that there are differences in the Ten
Commandments as stated here (Exodus 20:1-14) and restated later in
Deuteronomy 5:6-18? (Suggestion: have your children find the
differences as a game at the Shabbat table during dinner).
Moses' father-in-law, Jethro (Yitro or Yisro in the Hebrew) joins the
Jewish people in the desert, advises Moses on the best way to serve
and judge the people -- by appointing a hierarchy of intermediaries -and then returns home to Midian. The Ten Commandments are given,
the first two were heard directly from God by every Jew and then the
people begged Moses to be their intermediary for the remaining eight
because the experience was too intense.
The portion concludes with the Almighty telling Moses to instruct the
Jewish people not to make any images of God. They were then
commanded to make an earthen altar; and eventually to make a stone
altar, but without the use of a sword or metal tool.

eople often wonder what
Jewish prayer, holidays and
dietary regulations have to do with
becoming a more sensitive, patient,
grateful and generous person who
enjoys a life of inner peace. This sixweek class will explore the
increasingly
popular
Jewish
teachings of personal growth and
transformation known as Mussar.
On our journey we will include
classical and modern Mussar texts
and discover practical tools to help
us lead more spiritual and satisfying
lives.
