Shabbat shalom everyone! Thank you for coming to my Bat-Mitzvah! My Torah portion is Kedoshim, a collection of the laws to be holy, or as I learned from the My Jewish Learning newsletter, part of the Holiness Code.

Shabbat Shalom. Thank you for coming to support me through this important milestone. I just chanted my Torah portion, Yitro. My portion is the one where Moses AND the Israelites receive the ten commandments. But that’s not the only thing that happens in Yitro.
