This week we will host a "Texas Shabbaton Aftershock" further cultivating the great friendships made at the great Texas Shabbaton - we will have a reunion!!
This Shabbos is called Parshat Hachodesh:
On the Shabbat that falls on or before the 1st of Nissan, a special reading called "Hachodesh" (Exodus 12:1-20) is added to the regular Shabbat Torah reading. Hachodesh recounts G-d's historic communication to Moses in Egypt on the 1st of Nissan (2 weeks before the Exodus) regarding the Jewish calendar, the month of Nissan and the Passover offering.
