Parashat Ki Teitzei is the 49th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.

Ki Teitzei (“When You Go Out”) contains numerous laws, more than appear in any other Torah portion. These include laws about the treatment of a captive woman, returning lost objects, forbidden mixtures, the erection of a rooftop fence, rape, collateral, and workers’ wages. [1]
Plea from the NY Blood Center
This summer was and continues to be one of our most challenging and certainly August even more so with last-minute Vacations and back-to-school preparations for many of our donors.
While I know that you have already run a blood drive this summer at Van Cortlandt Jewish Center, I am hoping you might help as we head into and out of the Labor Day Holiday. We are hopeful you can assist NYBC by making an additional push in your area to increase donor participation at NYBC open blood drives and Donor Centers and share our blood drive locator. Please help us meet the needs of our area’s patients. The number 1 reason people don’t donate is that they were not asked. Any messaging you can share with members of your organization to make this ask would be greatly appreciated.
From all of us at NYBC — thank you for your generosity, your time, and the hope you give to so many.
With deep gratitude,
Michele Lariviere
Sr. Director, NYBC Donor Recruitment
