What’s Happening at Temple Sinai
Torah from Sinai
- Friday, January 2, 2026 / 13 Kislev 5786
One of the most beautiful of all the Jewish traditions is the blessing of the children on Friday nights. The tradition comes from this week’s Torah portion, Vayechi, when Jacob blesses his own children and grandchildren. Though I have written about this in past years, this year it feels especially important and relevant. The Torah recounts the words of Jacob’s blessing for his children and then summarizes it this way: “[Jacob] blessed them, each according to his blessing -asher k’virchato – did he bless them.” (Genesis 49:28)
