This week's parasha (torah portion)

Korach (Korah)
Bamidbar (Numbers) 16:1 - 18:32

This Sidra reports another uprising against Moses due to Korach’s envy. Moses prayed to G-d that justice be done against the rebels, and they were punished with death. It was the only way that the Israelites could be made to understand that Moses was truly the leader of Israel and that Aaron was legitimately Kohen ha-Gadol.

Upcoming Kol Emet Events

Morning Minyan - 1 Year Anniversary
July 3rd (Thrs) @7:15 AM

Over this past year, the Thursday Morning Minyan has become a core component of the weekly ritual observance at Kol Emet. What started off as a vision by Rabbi Cove, that initially attracted a handful of congregants, has grown to include almost two dozen people who come on a regular basis.

In honor of this very special Anniversary, the entire congregation is encouraged to attend the 7:15 AM service and 8:00 AM breakfast on July 3rd. If you've attended even once over this past year, the Thursday Morning Minyan would very much like to welcome you back with open arms. If you've never attended, this would be a great time to start.
Come and share in this wonderful Simcha!

The league begins on Thursday, September 11th at 9:15 PM at Morrisville Lanes. The cost is only $15.00 per week. Bowling is co-ed. Pre-bowling is available. No equipment necessary. Shoe rental is only $1.00 for league members.

Announcements

Documenting the History of Kol Emet
Over the summer, we will be compiling material for a video and scrapbook showing the history of Kol Emet. We are looking for any old photos you'd like us to consider. Please look for pictures of past rabbis (maybe with your child at their Bar Mitzvah), past school facilities (such as the George School and definitely the basement of Florence Marks' home), inside the Friends Meeting (Yardley, Newtown and everywhere else we met), groundbreaking of the new building, Fourth of July picnics, etc. etc. If you're not sure we can use it, send it anyway. If you have video, send that too. All material will be returned, unless it's used in the scrapbook. Just let us know if you want it returned. Please either send it to Ellie Fisher or drop it off at the synagogue office with Ellie's name on it.
