Happy Holidays, Gratz community! 🕎🎄

Check out this item we found in the Elie Wiesel Archive. A Christmas card from the Obamas to Elie Wiesel was quietly waiting to be found in our boxes. Stay tuned for more treasures like this one when the Grayzel Digital Platform is launched late Spring 2025!

Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth Japha.

Covenant and Connection
In the Torah, the idea of a covenant is used in various places as indicator of God’s relationship with and expectations of those included in the covenant. Through studying the related texts, we can develop insight into the unifying nature of our shared responsibilities as members of a covenant. In this text study we will look at the texts related to God’s covenant with Noah, Abraham, and all the Jewish people at Sinai.
