Noach
Introduction to NoachThis week’s parasha (portion) of Torah brings us the familiar account of Noach (Noah), the Ark and the great flood which G-d brought upon the earth in judgement. There is so much here on so many deep levels but a few things jump out at me this…

Ever since attending The Rock of Israel Congregation I’ve learned so much and gained another family. The very first Sabbath I felt so welcomed and felt such a warm atmosphere. It is a place where anyone is welcomed and loved! Shalom!

We’ve been coming to ROIC for about 5-6 months now. Really enjoying it! The people are down to earth, enjoy fellowship, and the fact that they do outreach is really important as well. The worship leader, David, has a sincere heart for worship, and humility in his gift. The rabbi, Jeff is a humble, and confident man who loves the Lord, and diving into the scripture. There’s a sincere heart to seek truth from what I’ve seen from the people here. I definitely recommend this congregation to anyone looking for a place of worship!
