These monthly meetings the second Sunday evening of the month are intended to discuss what's working and not at Hallel Fellowship, and where we're headed next. The goal is to have a meeting agenda out a week before, so you can pray over the items.
The Zoom meeting link and call-in details are the same as those used for the weekly Bible study (see the About Us tab on the Hallel smartphone app).

In light of the current challenges facing the Jesus Cares 2020 Community Kitchen, I believe it is important that we commit everything into the hands of God while we continue to navigate the logistics using the wisdom, knowledge, and resources He has entrusted to us. Join us the last Friday of the month in person or online. Details: https://hallel.info/locations/jesus-cares-2020-community-kitchen/

This week’s Torah reading
- Readings: Nov. 14, 2026God’s blessing comes with a calling. In Numbers 6–7, the LORD places His name on Israel and invites His people to serve Him with willing hearts. Jeremiah promises a renewed covenant, with God’s Torah written on hearts rather than merely external commands. Through Yeshua, that transformation becomes personal: We belong to God, and His Spirit dwells within us. Paul urges us to honor Him with our bodies. So how will we respond? By living as people set apart for His presence.
