""Turn it over and turn it over, be absorbed in it" is what is said about the Torah: Study the Torah from all sides, because each time a different and new aspect and interpretation of the Torah can be revealed. This year we are renewing ourselves with a new section in the newsletter: "Words for Shabbat" - each week we will publish in the newsletter and on the Beit Tefilla website a Torah passage - a few words about the week's parashat from one of the community members and Beit Tefilla staff. And just as their faces are different, so are their opinions - we will wait to read the personal interpretation and learn what the encounter with the parashat brings up in them.
