Extractions: Rabbi Melanie Aron Yom Kippur 5761 - Monday, October 9, 2000 There was no one as happy this summer about the nomination of Senator Joseph Liebermann to the vice presidency of the Unites States, as the rabbis of America. The bubbe's were happy- many hadn't believed they would live to see the day. The kids I talked to were happy, it was a kind of Jackie Robinson moment for Jews. But the rabbis were the happiest of all. First of all, they had one sermon all tied up for the high holidays, and it was only August 7th. How could one not make mention of this very significant moment in American Jewish history. Here was a candidate for one of the most visible positions in American politics, not as a third party fringe candidate, but on a major party ticket. Here was a candidate chosen without any concern by the non-Jewish world that his Jewishness would be an obstacle to his election. How ironic that two days after the nomination, a major survey of American Jewry revealed its findings, that 45% of American Jews did not believe that "Virtually all positions of influence are open to Jews in this country." With or without reservations, American Jewry has entered a new phase in our participation in American civic life. Unlike many previous Jewish candidates for public office, Joe Lieberman doesn't just have a Jewish name, isn't just of Jewish ancestry, or ethnically Jewish, but identifies clearly and directly with Judaism. Senator Joseph Lieberman was chosen as a synagogue attending, Sabbath observant, children in day school, core of the Jewish community, Jew.

New On hoshanah Rabbah, during the last few circuits with the four species and when itis still found, is in the Musaph Amidah for rosh haShanah and yom kippur. http://www.hgss.org.uk/Daf 5763/Succot.htm
Extractions: In the Amidah the word that is associated with Succot is Simcha, happiness. Yet, often I am asked the question how do eating, drinking, sleeping and learning in a temporary dwelling bring one to Simcha. Too often it can just remind us of our vulnerabilities as humans and achieve the opposite. We all want to be happy. The question is how to attain this elusive state of mind. It seems that there are two ways. One, which is the common one in our society, is to look for something external to ourselves, to change the way we feel. To eat a bar of chocolate, have a drink, zone out in front of the telly, etc. This does work, but seems to have a short term effect. How often after that first chocolate bar, do we look for the second? The second way is to look inside ourselves and to make what some people call a gratitude list: that we have clean water, food to eat, shelter, family, Torah and a beautiful world that G-d has given us. There is a beautiful poem that I often read when I am struggling to feel gratitude: I asked G-d for strength that I might achieve

Extractions: The Ohr Somayach International Home Page * TORAH WEEKLY * Highlights of the Weekly Torah Portion Parshas Vayelech For the week ending 6 Tishrei 5758 / 25 - 26 September 1998 =========================================================================== This publication is available in HTML format at http://www.ohr.org.il/tw/5758/devarim/Vayelech.htm =========================================================================== Overview On the last day of his life, Moshe goes from tent to tent bidding farewell to his people, encouraging them to "keep the faith." Moshe tells them that whether he is among them or not, Hashem is with them. He summons Yehoshua, and in front of all the people, exhorts him to be strong and courageous as leader of the Jewish People. Thus, he strengthens Yehoshua`s status. Moshe teaches the mitzvah of hakhel: Every seven years on the first of the intermediate days of Succos, the entire nation, including small children, is to gather at the Temple to hear the King read from the Book of Devarim. The sections that he reads deal with faithfulness to Hashem, the covenant, and reward and punishment. Hashem tells Moshe that his end is near, and he should summon Yehoshua to stand with him in the Mishkan, where Hashem will teach Yehoshua. Hashem tells Moshe and Yehoshua that after entering the Land, the people will be unfaithful and worship other gods. Hashem will then completely "hide His face," so that it will seem that the Jewish People are at the mercy of fate, hunted by all. Hashem instructs Moshe and Yehoshua to write down a song Ha'azinu which will serve as "witness" against the Jewish People when they sin. Moshe records the song in writing and teaches it to Bnei Yisrael. Moshe completes his transcription of the Torah and instructs the levi'im to place it to the side of the Holy Ark, so that no one will ever write a new Torah Scroll different from the original, for there will always be a reference copy. =========================================================================== Insights Cosmic Hide And Seek "I will surely hide My face." (31:18) Once, there was a great rabbi who came upon a young child crying his heart out. "What's the matter, yingele?" asked the Rabbi, his eyes shining with sympathy and concern. "We were playing..." The child struggled to speak between sobs. "We were playing hide and seek...and I was the one who was supposed to go hide..." The boy looked up into the Rabbi's face. "Yes, I'm listening," said the Rabbi. "So I went and hid but...but..." The child broke down again in gales of sobs. "Tell me what happened," said the Rabbi softly. Finally, the boy managed to finish the sentence "...but nobody came to look for me!" After a few moments, the Rabbi smiled his warm smile and said, "You know, you shouldn't feel so bad. You're in very good company." The child heaved a little, his tears abating. The Rabbi looked into the child's eyes and continued: "You're in very good company indeed. G-d feels a lot like you not many people are coming to look for Him." This world is a cosmic game of hideand-seek. We are given an invitation to this world; the invitation is called life. This invitation itself is a challenge: Who brought us here? Who sustains us here? What are we doing here? To make the game more challenging, and our success more meaningful and rewarding, there are various distractions and "false leads" which can take us away from the game. But our "Host" has not left us without a "crib sheet" to help us navigate this ultimate virtual adventure. He has provided a clear manual which is guaranteed to allow us to unmask Him and the purpose of our existence. This manual is called the Torah. When we keep the Torah, we see our "Host" more and more clearly. But if we don't keep the Torah, He will hide himself more and more deeply, and finding Him will be very difficult indeed. "I will surely hide My face." In the Hebrew language, the emphatic "to surely do" something is expressed by the repetition of the verb. In other words, the literal translation of the phrase "I will surely hide My face" is "Hide, I will hide My face." The very structure of the Hebrew language gives us an insight into this "hiding." There are two kinds of concealment. One is a concealment where you know someone is there but you just can't see them. The other is a concealment where you don't even know if they are there at all. In this second type, the very fact of their being hidden is concealed. This is the ultimate hiding where the very hiding is hidden. When we are aware that G-d has hidden from us, He is not really concealed, because we realize that our hiding from Him has been reciprocated by His hiding from us. And so, we humble ourselves and return to Him, imploring his forgiveness. However, when the hiding is itself hidden, and we think that this is the way the world is supposed to be, then we are in big trouble, because nothing awakens us to return to Hashem. We think to ourselves: "This is the way things are supposed to be isn't it?" Ignorance, they say, is bliss. But only while we're ignorant of our ignorance. One day, we will all wake up in the real "Supreme" court, and we will then have to pay the price for our years of "bliss." On Yom Kippur, we have a chance to shake ourselves out of our self-inflicted ignorance. A once-a-year opportunity to throw ourselves on the mercy of the King. If we search with all our hearts, we will find Him. Don't Worry Be Happy "And he will find many evils and worries and say on that day `Behold, because G-d is not in our midst these evils have befallen me.' " (31:17) How would you define happiness? Having lots of money? Status? Security? Youth and beauty? Someone once said "Happiness is knowing things are important, and knowing that you have a connection to them." A person who believes in G-d, believes things to be important: The world has a purpose and everything happens for a reason. I may not understand the reason but that doesn't mean that events are random. The person of faith sees everything in life as important. The Divine scriptwriter leaves no plottwist unresolved. No-one's life is insignificant. No event is without importance. If G-d created me, I must be important; I must have significance. This is the essential source of happiness: "If G-d created me, my life must be significant." This attitude is a tremendous weapon against feelings of depression and loneliness. If happiness is the knowledge that things are important and I am connected to them, then unhappiness is the reverse. Feeling that nothing is important. The antithesis of happiness is apathy. Apathy is the voice that says "I am worthless; my life is worthless; things are worthless... Why get out of bed?" "And he will find many evils and worries and say on that day `Behold, because G-d is not in our midst these evils have befallen me.'" The structure of this verse is asymmetrical. It starts off talking about "evils and worries" and ends by mentioning only "evils." What lesson is the Torah hinting to here? "Evils" refers to the event itself. In this world, tragedy is no stranger. Many are the lives which must bear "evil" of some kind. In our world, we divide events into good or evil. Our vision is limited. We cannot see the ultimate good of everything that happens. "Worries" refers to the mental anxiety, to depression; when all the world looks bleak. This comes in addition to the "evil" itself which has been visited upon a person. When we have no faith in G-d, not only are we afflicted by the pain of events, but worse, we have no means of putting these events into perspective. We see things as the spiteful indifference of a random universe. However, when we put our trust in G-d, we walk through the valley of the shadow of death without fear, because we know that G-d is always with us. =========================================================================== Sources: * Don't Worry - Be Happy - Rabbi Elazar Menachem Man Shach in Lekach Tov; Rabbi Noach Orlowek * Cosmic Hide-and-Seek - The Sfas Emes in the name of the Chidushei HaRim in Mayana shel Torah; a story heard from Rabbi Zev Leffr =========================================================================== Haftorah Shabbos Shuva Hoshea 14 Shabbos Shuva is the first Shabbos of the year. It is the prototype, the blueprint for the whole year. Because of this, we must be especially careful to guard its sanctity as it is the first. The Talmud tells us that if the Jewish People had kept the first Shabbos properly, no nation nor tongue could have ruled over them. On Rosh Hashana a new order is created for all the days of the year thus if the first Shabbos of the year is correctly observed, then the whole year follows suit. Man was created on erev Shabbos, on Friday afternoon, in order that he could immediately enter into Shabbos. But before Shabbos came, Man had already sinned. Shabbos is an aid to teshuva. As our Sages teach (Berachos 37), a person who never sinned cannot stand in the place of a ba'al teshuva someone who returns to Judaism. Tzaddikim uphold the world, as it says in Proverbs "A tzaddik is the foundation of the world;" however, "teshuva preceded the world" (Pesachim 54). Therefore, the level of a ba'al teshuva is before the world, and thus above the world. Just as the ba'al teshuva is before and above the world, so Shabbos too has a radiance which is higher than the six days of the week a reflection of the world to come. A Burning Sensation An unbelievable sight. A young fellow with all the visible signs of an Orthodox Jew walks into MacTreife's Burger Bar and orders a cheeseburger! He then proceeds to eat it in full view of everyone. Later he suffers tremendous heartburn from the indigestible fast-food. Much later however, he suffers an even greater "burn" in the spiritual department. The Shabbos between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is called Shabbos Shuva the Shabbos of Return. The name is taken from the first verse of the Haftorah "Return O Israel to Hashem, for you have stumbled in your iniquity..." The Meshech Chochma asks, "What does it mean to `stumble' in `iniquity?' If a person is already doing something wrong, how can he make it worse by stumbling in it?" There are two aspects to wrongdoing. The offense in itself, and the desecration of Hashem's name that may result from it. It's one thing for a Jew to slink into MacTreife's with a baseball cap and blue jeans, in "plain-clothes." It's quite another to waltz in wearing full uniform. It's one thing to commit iniquity to give in to one's desires but it's quite another to stumble and desecrate Hashem's name in public. * Heard from Rabbi Calev Gestetner =========================================================================== LOVE OF THE LAND Selections from classical Torah sources which express the special relationship between the People of Israel and Eretz Yisrael ZECHER LEMIKDASH - SEEKING ZION Zecher Lemikdash this term, literally translated as a "remembrance of the Sanctuary," expresses the effort of Jews not privileged with actually experiencing the Beis Hamikdash to at least connect with it in some way. The gemara mentions two examples of zecher lemikdash which take place on Succos. One is in regard to the mitzvah of taking the four species. In the time of the Beis Hamikdash, this mitzvah was fulfilled all seven days of Succos only in the Beis Hamikdash itself, while everywhere else it was limited to the first day only. After the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash a decree was instituted by the Sanhedrin under the leadership of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai to take the four species all seven days everywhere, in order to remember what was done in the Beis Hamikdash zecher lemikdash. The other example relates to the mitzvah of taking the aravah which was done every day of Succos by the kohanim in the Beis Hamikdash. We do our mitzvah of taking the aravah on Hoshanah Rabbah, the seventh day of Succos, once again as a zecher lemikdash. In addition to these two Talmudic examples, we have the custom of circling the bimah in the synagogue each day of Succos (except Shabbos) with our four species as a remembrance of the circling done in the Beis Hamikdash each day around the altar. We also recall the singing and dancing which accompanied the drawing of the water for the water libation offered on the altar by conducting our own "simchas beis hashoeva" on Succos evenings as zecher lemikdash. What is the source for doing anything as zecher lemikdash? Rabbi Yochanan (Succos 41a) cites a passage (Yirmiyahu 30:17): "For I shall restore your health and heal your wounds, says Hashem; for they have called you an outcast, saying: This is Zion whom no one seeks." The implication of the Prophet's words, concludes Rabbi Yochanan, is that there is a need to "seek Zion" by doing things which were done in the Beis Hamikdash. It may be suggested that all of our zecher lemikdash actions are not only designated for the purpose of remembering but also for traversing time and space to somehow connect with the sanctity we seek in our love of Zion. =========================================================================== Do you link to us?

Extractions: Y'SHUA IN THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL SESSION ONE INTRODUCTION When God gave the Law to Moses, He instituted seven feasts to be observed by the Jewish people. These feasts are described in Leviticus, chapter 23. We will divide the feasts into four groups, and look at one group each Sunday for the next four weeks. But before presenting the individual feasts, I want to first mention a unifying thread which connects them all. God instituted the feasts of Israel for several reasons. Each had its immediate place in the annual calendar of events, being a harvest festival, a time for atonement, or some other seasonal event. Beyond this, God meant the holidays to be memorials to the Jewish people, both to remind them of what He had done for them as a people and also of their obligations to Him. We read in Numbers 10:10 "Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed feasts . . . you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God." Each feast also prophetically symbolizes God's dealings with the world throughout history. The book of Hebrews states that God uses the feasts as shadows or pictures of things to come, and if we ignore the pictures, we'll miss out on the deeper meanings of the events as they continue to unfold.

Extractions: The mighty apostle, Paul, who regarded himself as the least of all the apostles (1Cor 15:9), and the least of all the saints (Eph 3:8) tells us in 1Cor 13:2: None of us would question Paul's love for the people of God, nor would we query his love for the Almighty God, as epistles, like Philippians, reveal. Likewise we wouldn't question the fact that his grasp of the mysteries and knowledge of God was immense. In 2Cor 12:1-7 Paul tells us that the knowledge he was given by divine revelations was of surpassing greatness. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of Truth (Jn 14:17; 15:26; 16:13). John 1:14 says that Jesus Christ is full of grace and truth; Jn 8:32 informs us: "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free"; Jn 17:19 says that the saints are sanctified by the Truth! The Word of God is Truth (Jn 17:17). The truth or knowledge of God shows us how to love (Matt 22:36-40; 2Pet 1:2; 3:18; Jn 17:3; Jer 9:24; 1Jn 2:4; 4:6-8; 2Jn 3). 1Jn 4:12 tells us that If we love one another, God [by His Spirit] lives in us, and His love is perfected in us. Likewise we should know that if we have the growing love of God in us (1Jn 4:18), which is the greatest gift that we seek and develop, then of course other gifts of the Holy Spirit must follow and increase also.

Extractions: The past and the future, however, are much more complex than this parade of images suggests. And since Jewish thought has always proceeded in a spiral where the future and the past are intertwined, it is hardly possible to think about a future of assertive nonviolent Jewish action without unfolding the meaning of our limited memories. For Jewish wisdom is neither the endless circle of tradition nor the abrupt progression of a straight line forward. Always it does midrash And today this midrash is not simply a twirling of the text, but an unfolding of the historical transformations that gave birth to the many layers of the text. Midrash today is not an antiquarian dust-off of ancient oddities but a way to join the spiritual searches of ages past, renew them, and create new forms of action in the ancient search for peace and justice.

Indeed, one of Scouting's strengths has been its capacity to further the concept that America's diverse subcultures can live and work together in friendly appreciation of one another's ways, beliefs, and sensitivities. Scouting itself has been enriched by this recognition that ours is not a nation of single-patterned individuals but that almost all Americans are heirs to a dual system of values and traditions. In the case of the Jewish citizen. this duality combines an American heritage born of the ideals of our nation's founders and the ancestral ways and practices associated with Judaism. Scouting has even taken the position that a strong commitment to one's own religious or ethnic culture makes for enhanced citizenship .

Extractions: Monday, September 30, 2002 Well, dear readers, heigh ho, heigh ho, its off to work I go. Short notes today, because I forgot to do short notes yesterday. Therefore, since I know that many errant and truant dear readers missed one or both days of the weekend notes, there will be plenty for you to read and catch up on. Plus a brand spanking new radio show with our very own Mr. Donald Feltham. Ive been catching up on some of the DVD extras on some of the DVDs Ive been buying. For example, I watched the Singin in the Rain documentary. It was perfectly nice, but not very interesting. Its the kind of puff piece documentary that I find very annoying, and it seems to be the specialty of Mr. Peter Fitzgerald who made it. Then I watched one of several documentaries on the A Hard Days Night DVD. That one was splendid, about forty minutes long, and had tons of interesting little tidbits. Its the kind of DVD documentary that I like. So, Im anxiously looking forward to watching the others on the supplementary disc. I also watched a bit of Monsters, Inc. which looks pretty great. I also watched a Biography on Charles Bronson, an actor Im very fond of. It was their usual type of thing, but I liked it anyway. I spent all of yesterday relaxing and not doing much of anything although I did write half a page of the new book and did finish off one of the new Nudie songs Id been working on. Ive also begun doing the organizational work I need to do on the upcoming new film, so that Im now ready to totally dive in to that.
