To inspire, guide, engage, enrich, and empower Conservative Jewish Women
By Rabbi Ellen S. Wolintz-Fields, Executive Director, Women’s League For Conservative Judaism
In Parashat Re’eh, God set before us a choice. We will receive blessings if we follow God’s commandments and curses if we do not. God told us to be a holy, kadosh, nation, by how we eat, how we distribute wealth, how we preserve our natural resources and in the role of the firstborn. The parashah ends with a review of the pilgrimage festivals, Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot, describing the mitzvah to journey to the central place of worship.
Parashat Re’eh, in Deuteronomy 12:16 contains the prohibition against eating blood. For a Chesed project based on Parashat Re’eh, plan a Blood Drive.
