Weekly Message
Thoughts on the Parsha from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar
Parshas Nitzavim-Vayeilech
every Jew as we love ourselves.
Shabbos Selichos
Shabbos Mevarchim
“Before the Lord your G-d” underscores that
this powerful position that we assume on
Rosh Hashonah, affecting our entire year and
life, must be permeated with, and predicated
on, our complete subservience and
commitment to Almighty G-d.
Rosh Hashana
Shabbos Parshas Haazinu
Shabbos Shuva
T
here is a common element in the Torah
portions of Nitzavim/Vayeilech and
Ha’azinu in that all these three portions
were communicated to the “Children of Israel” on
the last day of Moses’ physical life in this world.
They also contain blessings, assurances of our eternal
continuity, admonitions, warnings, consequences and
challenges.
The last day of a person’s life, when they are clear and totally
conscious, is the most significant moment of existence. Every
event, experience and achievement integrates in condensed
fashion to be present at the end of life’s physical journey. All
that a person had planned and accomplished during his years
on this terra firma reaches a climatic conclusion at the final
moments. It is why the last will and testament of a person just
before his passing is considered to be sacred and non violable.
This is especially true when the motivation for the
communication is love and caring i.e. a Father/Mother,
Husband/Wife or dearest friend.
Moses loved the Jewish People unconditionally even more than
himself and this was his last will and testament.
He warns and informs his People regarding the inevitable
negative results when they leave G-d’s way of life. The
consequence that may come from that spiritual abandonment
is harsh and difficult. The objective of these tragic events is to
evoke the Jews to “Teshuvah” – to return to Hashem and live
according to His directives. Moshe assures us that we will all
come back to Hashem, even as Hashem Himself accompanies
each of us from our banishment in exile to redemption and
freedom. He will bring us home and resensitize our hearts,
removing the thick covering that does not allow our hearts to
feel.
Even when we may fail to properly live and
observe G-d’s way, and might suffer the
consequences resulting from such behavior,
we can be certain that we will always stand
strong and eternal throughout history. G-d
will always be open to receive us when we
return to Him and even assist us to activate
the desire to do Teshuvah (return).
This very potent and loving relationship between G-d and Israel
is emphasized every Rosh Hashonah when we come with
certainty and positive dependence before our Father, our King,
our Judge. It is why we celebrate Judgment Day (Rosh
Hashonah) before Forgiveness Day (Yom Kippur) when logically
it should be reversed, to achieve forgiveness before we go for
sentencing. We are sure that we come before G-d with eternal,
powerful standing that does not wither or weaken by any
circumstances. Our acts of transgression are temporary and
external, while our connection to Hashem is permanent and
essential.
As we observe the painful realities of our world including the
horrendous murder of four of our brothers and sisters in the city
of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs, and are heart broken from the
realization of six young children who were orphaned, we must
be strong and faithful, realizing that we are bound to our
everlasting G-d in an everlasting way and will be blessed with all
that is good and joyful and live in our Holy Land with security
and bountiful Blessings.
May we all be inscribed and sealed for a good and sweet year
with joy and peace of mind and Soul.
Have a great year, a meaningful Rosh Hashonah, and a
spiritually uplifting week.
As Moses relates these momentous instructions, warnings and
prophesies, he begins his statement and song with the words –
“Atem Nitzovim Hayom Kulchem Lifnei Hashem Elokeichem” –
“You stand today, all of you together, before the Lord your G-d”.
The word “Nitzavim” emphasizes the concept of standing as not
just being vertical (Omdim) but standing with strength,
perseverance and eternity.
“Hayom – Today” refers to the “Day of Judgment” - Rosh
Hashonah, when we all stand before the celestial court to be
judged and sentenced in accordance with our deeds. “Kulchem”
– all of you together – stresses that our standing with
inordinate power requires our being together as one – to love

“Those who establish Synagogues for prayer and those who come there to pray,
those who provide lights for illumination, wine for kiddush and havdalah, food
for the wayfarers and charity for the needy, and all those who occupy
themselves faithfully with communal affairs— may the Holy One, blessed be
He, give them their reward, remove them from all sickness, heal their entire
body, pardon all their sins, and send blessing and success to all their
endeavors, together with all Israel their brethren; and let us say Amen.”

Celebrating Shabbos With Our Youth
Everything you need for an "Over the Top" Shabbos Tov experience
Shabbos Schedule
Shabbos with the Teen Boys Minyan
No longer will your children get lost amongst the crowds in Shul on
Shabbos morning. The Shul youth has worked together to organize a
highly educational and fun program for children and teens of all
ages. Each Shabbos morning program involves a mix of Tefilla
(prayer), Parsha (weekly Torah study) and general "Jewishness",
through games, songs, and stories. Taught by our very own Shul
Bochurim and youth girls, each child will experience Shabbos in its
full glory; leaving with a taste of holiness and fun memories that will
keep them coming back from week to week. A Kiddush exclusively
for the children culminates the exciting program.

The Tehillim Club ~ THIS SHABBOS
The Tehillim Club allows children to become more familiar with
saying Tehillim on Shabbos Mevarchim (blessing of the new month)
by breaking the chapters down into manageable, age-appropriate
segments and rewards students with prizes for participation. Each
month, students who complete their Tehillim allotment are entered
into a raffle to win great prizes.
Hot chocolate and Danishes for all who attend!
Every Shabbos Mevarchim in the Haime Library
8:00 - 9:00 am
Sponsored by the Duchman Family
Ever wonder how you can teach your son to follow with a real
Minyan, or even run his own? The Shul youth has created the scene.
Every Shabbos morning, each teen has his own chance to play a
vital role in his own Shul Minyan, lead by one of our very own
Rabbis and Youth leaders. Every week all the boys have a chance to
act as Chazzan, Gabbai or ‘Rabbi’. This hands-on approach gives
each teen the opportunity to experience Shul and prayer to its
fullest, by involving them in every aspect of the Davening.
For Boys Only: ages 14-18
Shabbos
Child Enrichment Center Classroom # 2
10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
*Please note: The Teen Minyan is strictly for the Teens. We would
appreciate it if adults would stay in the Main Sanctuary.

Torah Quiz
Questions This Week:
1. Why is the Lamed of Va'yashlichem (just before Shlishi of
Nitzavim) larger than a regular lamed?
2. Which Shevet (tribe) is associated with the month of Elul? What is
the Mazal (constellation) of this month?
3. The Posuk says: "Vayelech Moshe" ( "And Moshe went" ). Where
was he going?
Answers for Last Week:
1. Hillel instituted a Pruzbul so that the Shemita does not cancel
loans. He did this because people were stopping to lend money
before Shemitah year.
2. When one would bring Bikkurim (the first fruit) to the Beis
HaMikdosh (The Holy Temple), they would normally say a special
prayer that is recorded in the Torah. There are some cases in
which one does not say this Prayer although they are able to
bring the Bikkurim. Some of them are: a) A convert (because he
cannot say that the land was given to his ancestors) ; b) One who
only owns the trees but not the land; c) One who brings the
Bikkurim after Sukkos (because it's no longer a time of joy.)
3. The Ba’al Shem Tov was born on Chai Elul, 5458 which is 1696. The
Alter Rebbe was born on Chai Elul 5505 which is in 1743.
New Rules for The Torah Quiz...
One winner per question. Each child may only answer one question.
Answers may be given from after Mincha on Friday afternoon until the
printing of the next week’s bulletin. Tell your answer to Rabbi Mendy

Inspiration, Insights & Ideas
Bringing Torah lessons to LIFE!
From The Rebbe’s Desk
Conquering Oneself and the World
Translation of a letter from the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
"earthly" and "beastly" in his own nature. This is attained through
actions which strictly accord with the directives of the Torah, the
Law of Life - the practical guide in every-day living, so that the
material becomes permeated and illuminated with the light of the
One G-d, our G-d.
G-d created one man and on this single person on earth He
imposed the said duty and task. Herein lies the profound, yet clear,
directive, namely, that one man - each and every man is potentially
capable of "conquering the world".
By the Grace of G-d
25th of Elul, 5719 [1959]
Brooklyn, N.Y.
To my Brethren, Sons and Daughters of our People
Wherever you are
If a person does not fulfill his task, and does not utilize his
inestimable divine powers - it is not merely a personal loss and
failure, but something that affects the destiny of the whole world.
-- G-d be gracious unto you --

Sincere Greetings and Blessing:
These days at the end of the outgoing year, and on the eve of the
new year, may it bring blessings to us all, call for self evaluation in
respect of the year about to end, and - in the light of this selfappraisal - for making the necessary resolutions for the coming
year.
Such a "balance sheet" can be valid only if the evaluation of the full
extent of one's powers and opportunities was a correct one. Only
then can one truly regret, in a commeasurable degree, the missed
opportunities, and resolve to utilize one's capacities to the fullest
extent from now on.
The period of time before and during Rosh Hashanah is not only the
occasion which demands spiritual stock-taking in general, but it
also begs for a profound inner appreciation of the tremendous
capacities which one possesses, as a man - the crown of Creation,
and as a Jew whom the Creator has given His Divine Law of Life
(Toras Chayyim). For Rosh Hashanah is the day when Man was
created.
In these days of introspection, we are duty-bound to reflect that
each and every one of us - through carrying out the instructions of
the Creator of the World which are contained in His Torah - has the
capacity of conquering worlds. Everyone must therefore ask
himself, How much has he accomplished in this direction, and to
what extent has he failed, so that he can make the proper
resolutions for the coming year.
G-d, Who looks into the heart, on seeing the determination behind
these good resolutions, will send His blessing for their realization in
the fullest measure - in joy and gladness of heart and affluence,
materially and spiritually.
With the blessing of Kesivo Vachasimo Toivo for a happy and sweet
year,
signed: Menachem Schneerson
Selichos
***
When Adam was created, the Creator immediately apprised him of
his powers and told him what his purpose in life would be:
Commencing this Motzei Shabbos
Saturday night, September 14 / 26 Elul
1:00 am
Mon. - Fri.: half hour before each minyan
"Replenish the earth, and conquer it; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth." (Gen. 1:28).
Man was given the power to conquer the whole world and to rule
over it, on land, sea and in the air, and he was enjoined so to do;
this was his task.
How was this "world conquest" to be attained, and what is the
purpose and true meaning of it? This is what our Sages tell us and
teach us in this regard:
When G-d created Adam, his soul - his Divine image permeated and
irradiated his whole being, by virtue of which he became the ruler
over the entire Creation. All the creatures gathered to serve him and
to crown him as their creator. But Adam, pointing out their error,
said to them: "Let us all come and worship G-d, our Maker!"
***
The "world conquest" which was given to man as his task and
mission in life, is to elevate the whole of Nature, including the
beasts and animals, to the service of true humanity, humanity
permeated and illuminated by the Divine Image, by the soul which
is veritably a part of G-d above, so that the whole of Creation will
realize that G-d is our Maker.
Needless to say, before a man sets out to conquer the world, he
must first conquer himself, through the subjugation of the

Ashkenazim begin saying Selichos on this night after
midnight. We continue saying them on Monday morning &
every morning after this until Rosh Hashana. Sefardim say
Selichot throughout the month of Elul.
Traditionally Selichos are said before sunrise, but if this is
too difficult for someone, it may be said later on as well.
The verse containing the thirteen attributes of Hashem’s
mercy (Hashem Hashem etc.) as well as all prayers that are
in Aramaic, are omitted when praying without a Minyan.
One who gets up before dawn should wash their hands with
a blessing and say the blessings on the Torah before
beginning Selichos. The rest of the morning blessings can
also be recited before dawn (if it’s after midnight and one
slept beforehand) as long as one is obliged in that particular
blessing. i.e. one who put on clothes says the blessing:
Malbish Arumim (He who clothes the naked). But one who
did not hear the rooster crow omits the brocho (blessing) of:
Hanosein Lasechvi vinah lehavchin bein yom uvein laylah
(He who gives the rooster wisdom to distinguish between
day & night). This should be recited after dawn. In addition,
it is best to wash one’s hands again without a brocho
(blessing) after dawn.

Halacha of the Week
By Rabbi Dov Schochet
The Month of Elul
It is customary throughout the month of Elul up to Yom Kippur to
add three chapters of Tehillim after the regular daily Tehillim.
Before Kol Nidre, before going to sleep, after Musaf and after Ne’ila
we say nine chapters, thus completing the entire book of Tehillim.
Erev Rosh Hashana Wednesday, Elul 29, September 8
No Tachnun is said Erev Rosh Hashana, but it is said in the morning
Selichos and the previous Mincha.
No shofar is sounded to differentiate between the obligatory
blowing of shofar on Rosh Hashana and the customary blowing in
Elul; also to confuse the Satan that he should think Rosh Hashana
has passed.
After davening we do “hatoras nedorim” (annullment of vows).
Although it is permissible to do this in front of three people, it is
preferable to do in front of 10 (a minyan). If one does not
understand Hebrew, it may be said in English.
Mikveh
It is proper for men to immerse in a mikveh on Erev Rosh Hashana.
Eruv Tavshillin
One should take challah [at least a “kabeah” (2 oz.)] and a food (at
least a “kizayis”- 1 oz.) such as fish or meat and recite the bracha
“Al Mitzvas Eruv”; followed by the short verse “B’dein.” This
permits one to cook, prepare, etc., on Yom Tov (Friday) for Shabbos.
The Challah and food must still exist until all the preparation is
completed on Friday. However, it is customary to use it as “Lechem
Mishna” on Shabbos for the first 2 meals and then used and eaten
at “Shalosh Seudos.”
Following Hamotzi the Challah is dipped into honey three times. At
the beginning of the meal (after eating the Hamotzi) we take a
piece of apple, dip it into honey, say “Borei Pri Haetz” and the “Y’hi
Ratzon” and then eat it. It is customary not to eat sour or bitter
foods on Rosh Hashana.
When bentching, Ya’ale V’yavo and the Horachaman are added. If
one forgets to say Ya’ale V’yavo during the night of Rosh Hashana,
he must repeat the bentching. However, by day it is not repeated.
1st Day Rosh Hashana Thursday ~ Tishrei 1 / September 9
Throughout the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, “Shir Hamaalos” (Psalm
130) is added after Yishtabach before Borchu.
As Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are days of judgment, Hallel is
not said.
“Shir shel Yom” and “L’Dovid Hashem Ori” are recited, followed by
“Atoh Horeisa,” Vayihi Binsoa,” “Hashem Hashem” (3 times),
“Ribono Shel Olam,” etc.
Two Sifrei Torah are taken out.
After Kriyas Hatorah, we prepare ourselves for the blowing of the
shofar. The entire congregation must listen to the brochos and
Tikiyas Shofar, keeping in mind to fulfill the mitzvah. “Boruch Hu
Uvaruch Shemo” should not be said. Being that the brochos of
Shofar apply even to the shofar blowing during the Shmoneh Esrei,
no talking is permitted until the end of the shofar blowing at the
conclusion of Musaf (unless it pertains to the davening or the
shofar).
The shofar is blown three times during the quiet Shmoneh Esrei
and three times during Chazoras HaShatz. If one is in the middle of
Shmoneh Esrei while the shofar is being sounded, he must stop
and listen.
At the end of davening it is customary to blow an additional 30
Kolos.
We get dressed up in honor of Rosh Hashana, being certain that
Hashem will bless all of us with a good and sweet year.
It is proper not to sleep during the day of Rosh Hashana, but to
occupy oneself with Tehillim and Torah study.
Candlelighting time is 7:14 p.m. (single girls light one candle.)
The two Brochos are:
L’Hadlik ner shel Yom Hazikaron followed by Shehechiyonu.
Maariv
Tashlich After Mincha it is traditional to go to a river or lake in
which there are fish (to show that we should multiply like fish) and
say Tashlich. At the close of Tashlich we shake the corners of our
talis katan. Those unable to go to Tashlich on Rosh Hashana may
do so throughout the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah.
It is customary to say some Tehillim before Maariv.
No preparations may be done for the second day before 7:52 p.m.
Maariv begins with “Shir Hamaalos”. Througout the Aseres Yemei
Teshuvah (Ten Days of Repentance) various insertions are added in
the Shmoneh Esrei. Should one forget to say any of these, the
Shmoneh Esrei is not repeated with the exception of “Hamelech
Hakadosh.” Then, the following rules apply: If one realizes
immediately (within the time it takes to say the three words
“Shalom Olecho Rebbe”) he can immediately correct himself by
saying “Hamelech Hakadosh.” If, however, one does not realize
immediately, or has already begun the next brocho, the Shmoneh
Esrei must be repeated. The same applies if the Shmoneh Esrei has
been completed. It then must be repeated. This law applies for all
of the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah.
Second Night Rosh Hashana
After Maariv it is customary that we greet one other in the
following way: To a man we say, “L’Shona Tova Tikosev
V’saichosaim.” To a woman we say, “L’Shona Tova Tikosaivi
V’seichoseimie.”
Candlelighting time is not before 8:06 p.m.
The candles should be lit from a pre-existing flame.
The Brochos “L’Hadlik Ner shel Yom Hazikaron”
“Shehechiyonu” should be recited.
and
Maariv is the same as the first night.
Kiddush
There are opinions that maintain that Shechiyonu is not recited on
the second day of Rosh Hashana. It is therefore preferable to have a
new fruit present or wear a new garment at the time of
candlelighting and Kiddush. Then, having the new fruit or garment
in mind, one recites the Shehechiyonu. The Chabad custom is to
eat a kizayis (1 oz.) of the fruit and make a Bracha
Acharona only on the fruit (not on the wine). If one does
12
Continued from p. 11
not have a new fruit, Shehechiyonu is recited regardless.
At the conclusion of bentching, (after saying “Mimarom”)
“Horachamon Hu Yanchilaynu L’Yom Shekulo Tov” and
“Horachamon Hu Y’Chadesh Aleinu Es Hashona azos L’Tova
V’Livracha.”
Second Day Rosh Hashana
Davening is the same as the first day. Two Sifrei Torah are taken
out.
Mincha
“Posach Eliyahu” and “Y’did Nefesh” are said before Mincha. (Hodu
is omitted). Since it is Erev Shabbos, “Avinu Malkeinu” is not
recited.
Candlelighting time 7:12 p.m. from a preexisting flame. The single
brocho “L’hadlik Ner shel Shabbos Kodesh” is recited.
Maariv
Maariv begins with “Mizmor L’Dovid” and continues as on every
Friday night. (In Boey V’shalom the word “B’rina” is said, not
“B’simcha.”)
The Aseres Yemei Teshuva insertions are added in the Shmoneh
Esrei. In Mogen Avos, the word “Hamelech” is substituted for
“Hakel” (Hakodosh).
Kiddush is the same as on every Friday night.
This Shabbos is known as “Shabbos Teshuva” or “Shabbos Shuva.”
The entire davening is the same as every other Shabbos (except for
the Aseres Yemei Teshuva insertions.)
Shabbos ends at 7:49 p.m.
Tzom Gedalia Sunday, Tishrei 4, September 12
Since the 3rd day of Tishrei falls out on Shabbos, the fast of Tzom
Gedalia is pushed off until Sunday, the 4th day of Tishrei.
The fast begins at 5:41 a.m. If one intends to get up early to eat, he
must have that intention before going to sleep. Otherwise, it is
forbidden to eat.
All able men and women are obligated to fast. Pregnant and
nursing women are not obligated. The Chazan adds “Aneinu” in
Chazoras Hashatz, Slichos and “Avinu Malkeinu” are recited. The
Torah is read. Only those fasting are permitted “Aliyos.”
Mincha
Before Shmoneh Esrei, the Torah is read. Three people are called up,
the third being Maftir. In the Shmoneh Esrei all those that are
fasting say “Aneinu” in the Brocho of Sh’ma Koleinu. If one forgets,
the Shmoneh Esrei is not repeated.
Tachnun and “Avinu Malkeinu” are recited. The fast concludes at
7:56p.m.
Throughout the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, “Avinu Malkeinu” is said
during Shacharis and Mincha (excluding Shabbos or when Tachnun
is not said).
Parsha Messages
The Longer Shorter Way
Based on the Rebbe’s talks, Iyar 5742 (April-May, 1982)
www.meamingfulllife.com
[This book] is based on the verse, “For it is very close to
you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it”—to explain,
with the help of G-d, how it is indeed exceedingly close, in a
long and short way
From the title page of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi’s Tanya
R
abbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi—whose 253rd birthday was
celebrated this month by the Chassidic community—was the
founder of the Chabad branch of the Chassidic movement.
Chabad (an acronym of the Hebrew words for “Wisdom,
Understanding and Knowledge”) is a philosophy and approach to life
in which the mind and intellect play a key role in man’s endeavor to
serve his Creator.
Rabbi Schneur Zalman summarized the fundamentals of his
philosophy in a slim volume known as “Tanya,” on which he labored
for twenty years. On the title page of Tanya, Rabbi Schneur Zalman
states the aim of his book: to demonstrate how the fulfillment of the
divine purpose in creation “is indeed exceedingly close, in a long and
short way.”
Why is the path along which Rabbi Schneur Zalman promises to take
his disciples a “long and short way”? The meaning of this paradoxical
phrase is illustrated by the following story, told in the Talmud by
Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananiah:
Once a child got the better of me. I was traveling and I met with a
child at a crossroads. I asked him, “Which way to the city?” and he
replied: “This way is short and long, and that way is long and short.”
I took the “short and long” way. I soon reached the city but found my
approach obstructed by gardens and orchards. So I retraced my steps
and said to the child: “My son, did you not tell me that this is the
short way?” Answered the child: “Did I not tell you that it is also
long?”
The Direct Approach
There are two primary paths through life: the path of faith and the
path of mind. The path of faith is a “short and long way,” and the
path of mind is a “long and short way.”
The Talmudic traveler in the above story, upon reaching a fork in the
physical road on his physical journey to a physical destination, had
to choose which of two paths to follow. Spiritual journeys are not
that way: upon reaching a fork in our spiritual road, we can—and ofttimes should— simultaneously follow both paths. But it is no less
important to be aware of the respective advantages and
shortcomings of each.
The path of faith is predicated upon the deep-seated truths that are
intrinsic to the human soul. There are beliefs that do not have to be
learned or demonstrated to us, for we know them with every fiber of
our being. There are loves, fears and desires that do not have to be
developed or validated, for these are feelings inherent to the very
essence of who and what we are. The path of faith is the process of
uncovering these convictions and feelings and translating them into
a code of behavior and way of life.
The path of faith is a “short way” in the sense that it is the most
direct and straightforward route to our destination. There
are no tortuous curves in this road, no uphill climbs or
13
downhill slides. What we know, we know absolutely; what we feel is
likewise felt without equivocation. We innately know and sense what
is the right thing to do; all that remains is to go ahead and do it.
But like the first path taken in the Talmud’s story, the seemingly
“short way” of faith often takes us to the very brink of our
destination only to encounter an impregnable barrier. We know the
truth, we desire to live it, but, somehow, we stop short of doing it.
Chassidic teaching refers to this phenomenon as “the thief in the
burrow syndrome.” Our sages speak of how a burglar, tunneling
under the walls of a home, hears the sound of footsteps; “Please, Gd,” he silently prays, “Save me!” Here is a man who instinctively
believes in G-d (he hasn’t called on the Queen of England to save
him), and who undoubtedly knows that G-d commanded, “Do not
steal.” Nevertheless, he is stealing and simultaneously beseeching Gd for help.
Faith, then, may hover in some neutral space above our everyday
self. It may be the source of staunch conviction and fervent feelings
that nevertheless fail to find actualization in our day-to-day
behavior. For although—indeed, because—these convictions and
feelings are integrally part of who we are, we have never grappled
with them, never struggled to make sense of their content and
significance. It is precisely the “shortness” of this path that
ultimately makes it the “longer” route.
The Second Path
So, like the Talmud’s traveler, we must retrace our steps (even as we
continue traveling down the road of faith) and take the other fork—
the “long and short way.”
The way of mind is winding, steep, tedious and long as life itself. It is
rife with struggles, setbacks and frustrations. But it is a road that
leads, steadily and surely, to the aspired destination.
In the way of mind, knowledge is the product of study, analysis and
in-depth contemplation. Feelings are born out of an intimate
knowledge of and thorough identification with their subject. Deeds
are motivated and guided by an understanding of their function, a
desire for the attainment of their aim and an abhorrence of what
they forestall.
In the way of mind, convictions and feelings are created rather than
revealed, developed rather than intuited, assimilated rather than
accepted. And though—indeed, because—they derive from what we
have achieved rather than wh or what we are, we identify with them
more than we do with the truths we hold by faith. It is precisely the
“length” of this path that ultimately makes it the “shorter” way to
our destination.
Of course, the products of our finite intellectual and emotional
faculties could never equal the absoluteness and potency of faith.
Faith therefore remains the first and primary path of life. But if the
convictions of faith are to find full expression in our daily lives, they
must be augmented by the struggles and achievements of the mind.
An Earlier Chabadian
On the cover page of Tanya, Rabbi Schneur Zalman also declares that
he is saying nothing that has not already been said by the “books
and sages” whose words he is merely collecting and restating.
Indeed, more than six centuries before the Tanya, we find two great
sages, Maimonides (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, 1135-1204) and his
contemporary and critic, the Raavad (Rabbi Abraham ben David, 11251198), debating the respective virtues of the path of faith and the
path of mind.
In his Mishneh Torah, Maimonides devotes two full chapters to
discussing the principle of “freedom of choice,” which he regards as
indispensable to the very foundations of the Jewish faith. “For were
G•d to decree that a person be righteous or wicked, or if there were
to exist something in the essence of a person’s nature which would
compel him toward a specific path, a specific conviction, a specific
character trait or a specific deed ... how could G•d command us
through the prophets, ‘Do this’ and ‘Do not do this,’ ‘Improve your
ways’ and ‘Do not follow your wickedness’...? What place would the
entire Torah have? And by what measure of justice would G•d punish
the wicked and reward the righteous...?”
Later in the chapter, Maimonides addresses an oft-posed question
regarding the concept of free choice:
One may ask: “G•d, of course, knows all that will transpire. Now,
before a particular deed was done, did G•d know whether the person
would be righteous or wicked, or did He not know? If He knew that
the person would be righteous, then it was not possible for that
person not to be so. And if you say that He [did not know
absolutely]... then G•d’s knowledge was not complete!”
Know that the answer to this question, “longer than the land is its
measure and broader than the sea,” and that many great
foundations and lofty mountains hang upon it. But understand well
what I am going to say. We have already explained in the second
chapter of “The Laws of the Torah’s Foundations” that G•d does not
know with a “mind” that is distinct from His being, as is the case
with man whose being and mind are two distinct entities. Rather, He
and His “mind” are one and the same—a concept that is impossible
for the human mind to fully comprehend. Thus, just as man cannot
discover and grasp the truth of the Creator, as it is written, “No man
can perceive Me and live,” so, too, man cannot discover and grasp
the “mind” of the Creator. In the words of the prophet, “My thoughts
are not as your thoughts, nor are your ways as My ways.”
Therefore, we lack the capacity to know the nature of G•d’s
knowledge of all creations and all events. But this we know without a
doubt: that the deeds of man are in his own hands, and G•d does not
compel him to do anything. And we know this not only by virtue of
our acceptance of the faith, but through clear proofs from the
teachings of wisdom.
The Raavad takes issue with Maimonides’ approach. “The author,” he
writes in a gloss on the above passage, “did not act in the manner of
the wise: one ought not begin something that one is incapable of
concluding. He begins by posing a difficult question, then remains
with the difficulty and reverts to faith. It would have been better for
him to have left it as a matter of faith for the innocent, instead of
making them aware [of the contradiction] and leaving their minds in
doubt.”
Why, indeed, does Maimonides begin a logical discussion of an issue
for which he does not have a logical resolution? But Maimonides had
a different conception than the Raavad of the role of “logic” in man’s
endeavor to know and relate to his Creator.
As the Raavad saw it, there are certain things that can be
understood, and certain things that lie beyond our capacity to relate
to with our mind’s tools of logic. What can be understood should be
pursued via the “path of mind”; what cannot be understood should
be relegated exclusively to the “path of faith.”
Maimonides agrees that there is many “a concept that is impossible
for the human mind to fully comprehend.” But he maintains that
these things, too, should be pursued along the “path of mind.” We
should strive to understand what it is that we cannot understand
about G-d; we should strive for a true appreciation of the
depth and magnitude of the supra-rationality of the divine.
14
Continued from p. 13
Parsha Messages
In other words, the mind is not only a tool with which to grasp things
that are fully comprehensible to us—it is also a tool with which to
relate to supra-rational truths. Indeed, only the mind can truly
appreciate how beyond understanding a supra-rational truth is. And
the greater the mind and the greater its comprehension, the greater
its appreciation of the magnitude of that which lies beyond its
comprehension.
So it is not enough that we accept by faith the paradox of G-d’s
absolute providence of our world and man’s freedom of choice; we
should also fully understand this paradox. We cannot, as the Raavad
suggests, “leave it as a matter of faith for the innocent, instead of
making them aware of the contradiction.” For if this contradiction
did not exist within our awareness, it would mean that there are
areas of G-d’s relationship with our reality which we have not
explored with our minds.
Maimonides insists on tackling even the most supra-rational aspects
of our relationship with G-d with the finite implements of the human
mind. For it is only when pursued along the “long and short way” of
mind that these truths become ingrained within our personality and
character and find expression in even the most mundane activities of
everyday life.
Teshuvah - Return, Not Repentance
by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger • Edited by Uri Kaploun
Two Different Dynamics
The ten-day period beginning with Rosh HaShanah and climaxing on
Yom Kippur is referred to as Aseres Yemei Teshuvah ("the Ten Days of
Teshuvah"). At this time of year, our service of G-d is primarily
directed toward teshuvah.
The conventional translation of teshuvah as "repentance" restricts its
conception to one shared by Western society as a whole. The literal
translation of teshuvah - and the conception expressed in our divine
service - is "return". A comparison of the meaning of these two terms
through the eyes of the Jewish tradition reflects a radical contrast
that sheds light on many aspects of our relationship with G-d.
Repentance implies a reversal of one's conduct - a recognition of past
shortcomings, and a firm resolution to change in the future. The two
are interrelated; the awareness of our weaknesses impels us to
reorient.
The concept of teshuvah as "return" emphasizes the fundamental
spiritual potential of every person. Chassidic thought teaches that
within each of us resides a Divine soul, a spark of G-d.[This infinite
G-dly potential represents the core of our souls, our genuine "I".
From this perspective, sin and evil are superficial elements that can
never affect our fundamental nature. Teshuvah means rediscovering
our true selves, establishing contact with this G-dly inner potential
and making it the dominant influence in our lives. Seen in this light,
our motivation to do teshuvah is not an awareness of our
inadequacies, but rather a sensitivity to this infinite potential within
our souls.
Returning With Joy
These two different understandings of teshuvah evoke divergent
emotions. Repentance is generally associated with sadness, because
feelings of regret and remorse play a leading role in prompting a
person to change his conduct. Teshuvah, by contrast, is
characterized by joy.
A baal teshuvah, one who actualizes his striving for teshuvah,
naturally feels sorrow and remorse over his past mistakes. His
dominant emotion, however, should be joy. For through teshuvah, he
renews his connection to G-d and establishes a bond with his own
spiritual potential. This, of necessity, gives rise to happiness. In fact,
the absence of happiness indicates that a consummate connection
has not been established and that more effort is necessary before
one's teshuvah is complete.
Of Universal Relevance
Repentance appears to apply only to a limited range of people. Truly
righteous individuals would appear to be beyond the need for
repentance, while others might be considered too completely
estranged from G-d to be capable of this religious experience.
Defining teshuvah as "return", however, broadens the scope of its
application. For if teshuvah involves gaining access to one's true
spiritual potential, it applies to all Jews without exception. The same
G-dly spark exists within the soul of every Jew from the most
alienated to the most righteous. This Divine potential is infinite; no
force or power can prevent its emergence and expression. Every Jew,
regardless of his level, can therefore do teshuvah. No matter how low
he has descended, there is nothing that can prevent him from
reversing his conduct and establishing a bond with G-d.
By the same token, no one, not even the most righteous, is above
teshuvah. Each of us, even the most spiritually developed, is limited
by the very fact of his humanity. Our thoughts and our feelings, as
well as our bodies and physical desires, reflect the limitations
inherent in creation. Teshuvah allows us to rise above these
limitations and establish contact with the unbounded potential of
our G-dly essence. This, in turn, lifts the totality of our experience to
a higher rung. Whatever our previous level of divine service, teshuvah
can introduce us to a new and higher plane of spiritual awareness
and capacity.
For this reason, our Sages teach[5] that "perfect tzaddikim (righteous
men) cannot stand in the place of a baal teshuvah." For teshuvah
reveals the infinite G-dly spark within our souls and connects us to
G-d at a level above even the most sublime levels of divine service.
Recalculating Our Merits
Defining teshuvah as "return" rather than "repentance" also sheds
light on the meaning of a problematic Talmudic passage. Our
Sagesstate that through teshuvah, all our past transgressions, even
those committed intentionally, are transformed into merits.
We can appreciate that repentance erases all traces of the past, and
that G-d forgives our sins and allows us to start anew. But how can
repentance transform the sin itself, an act performed in defiance of
G-d's will, into a positive deed? Sin separates a Jew from G-d. How
can it become part of a process of connection?
These questions are valid if we view teshuvah as repentance, an
opportunity for a new beginning. When we conceive of teshuvah as a
return to our true selves, however, these difficulties are resolved.
A Jew is never separate from G-d, even when he sins, because the
fundamental spiritual bond which links us to G-d is so strong that
even when a conscious relationship appears to have been severed
through sin, the inner connection is unaffected and continues to
propel us toward teshuvah.
15
Distance Arouses Desire
Because our connection with G-d is always intact, sin, as an act of
separation, may itself provide the impetus for our fundamental
G-dly nature to surface. The feeling of being outwardly cut off from
G-d may arouse a thirst for a more intense bond with Him.
Though every sinful act is a direct rebellion against G-d's desires,
when considered as a phase in a progression leading to teshuvah,
sin can be seen as a motivating force, directing a person to establish
a deeper and more powerful relationship with G-d. In fact, the
connection with G-d established through teshuvah is more profound
and more intense than that experienced beforehand.
All-Encompassing Oneness
Every element of our world exists for the fundamental purpose of
revealing G-dliness. Certain elements of creation reveal G-dliness
overtly; other elements reveal G-d's Omnipresence indirectly. For
example, the observance of mitzvos straightforwardly demonstrates
that the material can be joined in a bond of oneness with G-d. The
cycle of sin and teshuvah unfolds the ultimate truth of G-dliness,
but in a different manner.
When a person first sins and then feels motivated to reject this
behavior, these two steps, taken together, serve as a powerful
affirmation of G-dliness, demonstrating that nothing, not even sin,
can stand in the way of man's connection to G-d. The sinner's act of
return shows the infinite power of his G-dly soul, and reveals how it
will overcome all obstacles in its natural drive for self-expression.
The unique bond with G-d established through teshuvah has
repercussions far beyond an individual's personal sphere. As the
Rambam states, "Israel will be redeemed only through teshuvah. The
Torah has promised that ultimately Israel will return towards the end
of her exile, and immediately she will be redeemed." May this take
place in the immediate future.
The Shul Welcomes
Lt. Gen. (Res.) Shaul Mofaz of the IDF
MK Shaul Mofaz, was born in 1948, in Teheran, Iran. In 1957 his family
executed their Zionistic dream, and made "Aliya" to Israel, which
was at its early years as a state.
In year 1966 he graduated with honors, from the agricultural high
school in Nahalal, which gained its reputation mainly due to its
numerous leaders and commanders who were amongst its
graduates.
Later that year, he was inducted into the IDF to volunteer for his
long life dream -the Paratroopers Brigade. During the course of his
service in the paratroopers, he held every command position of the
commanding chain, from Platoon Commander to Brigade
Commander, including the position of Commander of the
Paratroopers Reconnaissance Unit during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
The reconnaissance Unit under his command was known for its
courageous operations behind enemy lines.
During the Six Day War he served in the paratrooper unit which
fought at the Rafah Crossing under the command of Rafael Eitan.
He later participated as a commanding force in the heroic Entebbe
Operation in 1976. After the operation was completed, he went on to
study for two years.
After filling the posts of Battalion and Deputy Brigade Commander
of the Paratrooper Brigade, he was appointed as Infantry Brigade
Commander in the north, in which capacity he participated in the
1982 Lebanon War. He then attended the US Marine Corps Command
and Staff College in Quantico, Virginia. Upon his return to Israel he
was appointed Commander of the IDF Officers School, and in 1986
was appointed Commander of the Paratroopers Brigade.
In 1988 he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and was
appointed Commander of a Reserve Armor Division.
He then served as Commander of the Galilee Division from 1990 to
1992.
In August 1993 he was appointed Commanding Officer of IDF Forces
in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
In January 1994 he was promoted to the rank of Major General and in
November he was appointed GOC Southern Command.
In March 1996 he was appointed Head of the General Staff Planning
Directorate.
In August of 1997 he was appointed Deputy Chief of the IDF General
Staff and Chief of the General Staff Branch (J-3).
On July 9, 1998, after 32 years, and five wars, MK Mofaz was
appointed Chief of the IDF General Staff.
He served as Chief of Staff until July 2002. In the month of
November, that same year, at Prime Minister Sharon’s request, he
accepted the challenge of continuing to serve the as Minister of
Defense for another four years until May 2006. During his term of
duty he implemented the disengagement plan from Gaza and has
established the guide lines for the fierce fighting in Israel's longest
war – the war against terror.
For forty fruitful years, MK Mofaz has served in the military and
defensive front, till he reached the positions of Chief of Staff and
minister of defense. On May 7, 2006 he was appointed Minister of
Transport & Road Safety.
The Ministry of Transport & Road Safety, during Minister Mofaz's
term, was dedicated to the elimination of road casualties. Through
daily efforts, it has managed to create a consensus of which the
increase of road safety in Israel, and the reduction of lethal road
accidents, is one of Israel's top national goals.
His additional goal was to bring a dramatic change to the
transportation map of Israel. For this purpose, Minister Mofaz
encouraged the development of infrastructure, sea ports, airports,
main roads, city roads and public transport – including the rapid
expansion of train lines throughout the country.
As a member of the Political-Security Cabinet and as a Deputy Prime
Minister, Minister Mofaz continued to be involved and had influence
on Israel’s security policy.
The Prime Minister has also asked him to be the Minister in Charge
of Israel’s Dialogue and Strategic Relations throughout the world.
Today Shaul Mofaz is MK at Knesset 18.
MK Shaul Mofaz holds a Bachelors Degree in Business
Administration from Bar Ilan University and studied for a Masters
Degree in Business Administration at Bar Ilan.
Shaul Mofaz is married and the father of four children.

More on Eruv Tavshilin
By Naftali Silberberg
According to biblical law, it is permitted to prepare on a holiday day for
a Shabbat that immediately follows, provided that the preparations
are concluded leaving ample time before Shabbat enters—enough time
to allow for the prepared food to be eaten before Friday's sunset.
Nevertheless, the sages prohibited food preparation on a yom tov
(holiday) Friday day for the sake of Shabbat, unless an eruv tavshilin is
set aside before the onset of the holiday. An eruv tavshilin consists of
a cooked food (minimum one ounce) and bread or matzah (minimum
two ounces, and preferably a complete loaf or matzah). These two food
items are prepared and set aside for Shabbat before the holiday,
symbolically serving as the beginning of the preparation of food for
Shabbat. Thus, any subsequent cooking done on yom tov is considered
to be a continuation and completion of the preparation begun
beforehand.
There are two reasons for this rabbinic institution:
a) Concern for the honor of yom tov: This injunction impresses on
people the importance of yom tov. After all, it is forbidden to prepare
on yom tov even for the sake of the holy Shabbat. How much more so
is it forbidden to prepare on yom tov for a following weekday!

b) Concern for the honor of Shabbat: When Shabbat follows yom
tov, there is the concern that one's attention will be focused on
yom tov, which arrives first, and pay less attention to the Shabbat
that follows. The eruv tavshilin compels the person to begin
preparation for Shabbat even before yom tov begins, thus
reminding him to reserve choice dishes for Shabbat, too.
What if I forgot to set aside an eruv tavshilin?
Strictly speaking, if one forgot to set aside an eruv tavshilin, he is
not permitted to prepare anything on yom tov for Shabbat. Luckily,
however, there is some leeway.
When a person sets aside his own eruv tavshilin, he is allowed to
stipulate that this eruv is also on behalf of all the Jews who live in
the vicinity, so that they too will be permitted to cook on yom tov
for use on Shabbat—even if they did not set aside their own eruv
tavshilin.
And in fact, it is common practice for the rabbi of every community
to do just that—to include all the Jewish members of the
neighborhood in his personal eruv.
This, however, does not absolve the city's inhabitants from making
their own eruvs. This is a loophole to be employed only by
individuals who due to their preoccupation on the day before yom
tov had forgotten to make their own eruv6—not for people who
were negligent or purposely did not set aside their own.
If one forgot to set aside an eruv before a two-day holiday that falls
on Thursday and Friday, an eruv can still be set aside on Thursday—
though the procedure is different. Consult with your rabbi if you
find yourself in this situation.

Reflexión Semanal
Parashá de la Semana
Resumen de la Parashá
Deuteronomio 29:9-31:30
La sección de Nitzavím (firmes) contiene algunos de los principios más
fundamentales de la fe judía:
La unión del pueblo judío: "Todos ustedes se encuentran hoy firmes ante
Di-s, su Di-s, los jefes de sus tribus, los ancianos, los oficiales, todos los
hombres de Israel; los niños, las mujeres, el extraño que vive con
ustedes; desde el leñador hasta el aguatero".
La futura redención: Moshé advierte sobre el exilio y la desolación de la
tierra que ocurrirá si el pueblo abandona las leyes Divinas. Sin embargo
luego profetiza que, al final, "Retornarás hacia Di-s... Aunque tus
desterrados estén en el extremos del cielo, también de allí te reunirá Dis... y te traerá a la tierra que tus padres poseyeron".
La practicidad de la Torá: Porque este mandato que te prescribo hoy no
está más allá de ti, ni está lejos. No está en el cielo... No está del otro
lado del mar... Por el contrario, es muy cercano a ti, en tu boca, en tu
corazón, para que lo lleves a la práctica".
El libre albedrío: "Mira, pongo ante ti hoy, la vida y lo bueno, la muerte y
lo malo... Y elegirás la vida".
La sección de Vaiélej (y él fue) recuenta los eventos del último día de la
vida terrenal de Moshé. "Tengo ciento y veinte años hoy," dice Moshé al
pueblo, "y no puedo salir y entrar más". Moshé transfiere el liderazgo a
Ioshúa, y escribe (o concluye la escritura de) la Torá en un rollo que deja
en manos de los Leviím para ser guardado en el Arca del Pacto.
El precepto de Hakel (reunir) es dado: cada siete años, durante el festival
de Sucot del primer año del ciclo de Shmitá (año sabático), todo el
pueblo judío, hombres, mujeres y niños, deben reunirse en el Templo de
Ierushaláim, donde el rey debe leer de la Torá frente a ellos.
Vaielej concluye con la predicción de que el pueblo judío se apartará del
pacto con Di-s, causando que Di-s se oculte, pero también con la
promesa de que las palabras de la Torá "no serán olvidadas de las bocas
de tus descendientes".
*****
Permaneciendo Firmes
Por Mordejai Wollenberg
L
a lectura de la Torá de esta semana comienza Atem nitzavim
"Ustedes están parados aquí hoy, todos ustedes… desde las cabezas
de las tribus… hasta los leñadores y aguateros".
Los comentaristas explican que en hebreo nitzavim significa
"permanecer firmes". Este versículo nos enseña que nuestro permanecer
firmes es condición para todos ustedes están parados juntos. Cada uno
de nosotros, desde el más alto hasta el más bajo, tenemos nuestra parte
que jugar y nuestro propio potencial que cumplir.
La Ética de los Padres del Talmud nos dice "¿Quién es rico? El que está
feliz con su parte". En lugar de preocuparnos por no estar parados en los
zapatos de otro, nuestra tarea es cumplir con nuestro potencial en el
nivel en que nos encontramos, en la situación en que estamos ahora,
sabiendo que aun si pareciera insignificante, cada uno de nosotros
contribuye en nuestro propio nivel y a nuestra manera para el gran
cuadro. Para "permanecer firmes" como una nación, necesitamos la
contribución de cada persona, en todo nivel.
Se cuenta la historia de Rabí Arie Levin (conocido como "el tzadik de
Jerusalén) quien le dijo al médico que "la pierna de mi esposa nos está
doliendo". Esta idea se aplica a todos nosotros, como comunidad.
Cuando una persona sufre, otra siente el dolor, aun a la distancia.
Cuando un evento ocurre en un país distante, nos afecta tanto como si
hubiera ocurrido en la puerta de al lado.
No hay "nosotros y ellos". Cualquier cosa que socava la decencia y la
santidad de la vida humana, el tejido mismo de nuestra comunidad,
tiene efecto en todos nosotros, tanto si estamos directamente
involucrados o no. Cada persona necesita estar intacta, para que
logremos nuestro potencial comunal. Si una persona está sufriendo o es
afectada de otra manera por algo, eso impacta en todos nosotros.
*****
Elegir la Vida
Por Yossy Goldman
(Deuteronomio 30:19).
¿Realmente necesitamos que la Torá nos diga que elijamos la vida? ¿Qué
persona de mente normal elegiría la muerte?
Una respuesta posible es que uno debe decidir en forma conciente vivir y
no sólo vegetar. Y no quiero decir vivir la vida en forma veloz. Elegir la
vida significa elegir vivir una vida significativa, una vida comprometida
con valores y con un propósito más alto. ¿Tiene algún significado el que
yo haya habitado el Planeta Tierra tantos años? ¿Alguien notará la
diferencia si me voy? ¿Es mi vida productiva, vale la pena?
Se cuenta que cuando el primer Rebe de Jabad, Rabí Schneur Zalman de
Liadi, quiso bendecir a Reb Iekutiel Liepler con riquezas, él rechazó el
ofrecimiento, diciendo que temía que eso lo distraería de búsquedas
más espirituales. Cuando el Rebe, entonces, lo quiso bendecir con
longevidad, Reb Iekutiel estipuló que no debían ser "años de campesino,
con ojos que no ven, y oídos que no oyen, en los que uno no ve ni siente
Divinidad".
Reb Iekutiel era, según parece, más bien melindroso. El santo Rebe le
está ofreciendo una asombrosa bendición, ¡y él pone condiciones! Si, él
elige vivir una vida que puede ser significativa, productiva y realmente
puede ser tangiblemente diferente. No estaba interesado en una larga
vida si, esencialmente, puede ser igual a una vida vacía.
Cuando estamos justo antes de Rosh HaShaná, resolvamos elegir la vida.
Vivamos vidas de valores de Torá y actos nobles. Y que seamos
bendecidos con un año bueno y dulce.

Réflexions sur la Paracha
Vivre avec la Paracha
Mouvement et immuabilité
peuple juif.
Tenir fermement ou bien aller de l'avant ?
Ces deux aspects trouvent leur expression dans les concepts
d’immuabilité et de changement. L'aspect inaltérable de la Torah et
des mitsvot met l'accent sur Celui qui donna la Torah et ordonna les
mitsvot, D.ieu, qui n’est pas sujet au changement.
Adapté des enseignements du Rabbi de Loubavitch
Contrairement aux autres parachas de la Torah qui sont parfois lues
ensemble, Nitsavim et Vayelekh sont essentiellement unies. Aussi
Rav Saadia Gaon écrit-il que “lorsque cela est nécessaire, l’une des
sections de la Torah est lue lors de deux Chabbats, c’est la portion
de Nitsavim qui est divisée à Vayelekh Moché”.
Un nom, en hébreu, traduit le contenu d’une entité. On comprend
aisément que cela s’applique également à Nitsavim et Vayelekh. Et
pourtant les mots eux-mêmes de Nitsavim et Vayelekh évoquent
deux concepts diamétralement opposés :
Nitsavim signifie “se tenir fermement en place”. Vayelekh, en
ravanche, signifie “aller de lieu en lieu”.
Comment donc devons-nous comprendre que Nitsavim et Vayelekh
forment essentiellement une même section ?
Le service divin s’appuie sur l’idée qu’il doit y avoir deux sortes de
services distincts : l’un ferme et stable, Nitsavim, et l’autre, une
constante évolution de niveau en niveau, Vayelekh.
C’est le cas de ce qui concerne tous les aspects du service spirituel :
la Torah, la prière et les mitsvot.
La Torah se divise en Torah écrite et Torah orale. La Torah écrite fut
donnée d’une manière strictement délimitée, avec un nombre
spécifique de mots et de lettres et n’est sujette à aucun
changement.
La Torah orale, en revanche, nous fut révélée par l’intermédiaire des
Sages, de la manière dont ils l’expliquèrent à partir de la Torah
écrite, selon les règles d'interprétation reçues au Sinaï. Dans leurs
analyses, un mot ou même une lettre de la Torah écrite peut servir
de base à un long exposé. Avec ses délibérations et ses explications
constantes, la Torah Orale s’est développée de génération en
génération.
Il en va de même pour la prière. Dans un sens général, la prière est
un commandement quotidien qui incombe à chaque individu. Mais
par ailleurs, la prière est aussi un “service du cœur” et chaque cœur
est différent. Même les sentiments au sein du cœur de la même
personne varient d’un jour à l’autre.
Il en est de même pour les mitsvot. Il existe précisément 613
commandements éternels ; nous ne pouvons en ôter ni en ajouter
aucun. Mais nous devons aussi embellir et glorifier les mitsvot de
niveau en niveau.
Puisque la Torah et les mitsvot furent données par D.ieu au peuple
juif, elles incluent également ces deux aspects. Elles sont la Torah et
les mitsvot de D.ieu, mais elles constituent aussi le service du
Mais la Torah et les mitsvot constituent le service du peuple juif. En
tant qu’êtres créés, nous sommes intrinsèquement sujets au
changement et il est attendu de nous, comme une part de notre
service divin, que nous nous élevions constamment de niveau en
niveau. C’est pourquoi la Torah, la prière et les mitsvot contiennent
chacune des éléments de changement et d’évolution.
C’est pourquoi Nitsavim et Vayelekh forment véritablement une
seule paracha, malgré le sens apparemment opposé de leurs noms,
car le service de D.ieu requiert ces deux traits : l’immuabilité
exprimée par Nitsavim, résultant de Celui qui donna la Torah et les
mitsvot, et le mouvement exprimé par Vayelekh, comme partie de
l’homme, celui qui les reçut.
Nitsavim et Vayelekh forment donc bien une seule partie de la
Torah, car le service de Vayelekh, le mouvement et changement,
doit nécessairement être fondé sur Nitsavim, une reconnaissance
que la Torah et les Mitsvot furent données par D.ieu qui, Lui, est audelà de ces notions.

A Peek at Recent Happenings
The 5th annual Taste of Rosh Hashana event,
a project of The Shul Sisterhood, was attended by
over 120 women and girls who tremendously
enjoyed the deeply insightful and inspirational
lecture given by Mrs. Shimona Tzukernik. The
thoughts she shared with us will be a great help
during our preparation for the High Holidays. We
have had wonderful feedback from many of the
attendees saying what a heartwarming experience
the whole evening was, filled with a beautiful spirit
of camaraderie and friendship.
Our sincerest thanks to all the following people
for making this such a successful event:
Raquel Sragowicz, our gracious hostess; Shimona Tzukernik, our inspiring speaker;
Iris Egozi for the lovely flowers; Rebbetzin Chani Lipskar, Orit Osman and Dobie
Rubinstein for co-chairing the event; Sarah Libke Caplin, Madelaine Kattan and Rosie
Avissar Wasserman for helping at the event; the delicious food was lovingly prepared
by Judy Adouth, Batya Ammar, Devorah Leah Andrusier, Hindy Antian, Tenny
Chudaitov, Eliana Gilinski, Carolena Herz, Aurit Katan, Chaya Rochel Katz, Rochel
Katz, Chani Knight, Renee Moore, Stephanie Levy, Chani Lipskar, Vivian Perez, Rivka
Saidoff, Kayla Schochet, Cynthia Stein, Faigie Stern, Malky Tevardovich and Penina
Wuensch; Meira Gewirtz and Lydia Hasson for compiling the recipe book (still
available on request); and to all our generous sponsors, Orly Alexander, Tammy
Attias, Sandra Dunn, Fortuna Kopel, Chana Laber, Michelle Schmutter and Diana

Beautiful faces of the first days of school!

We look forward to a year of growth,
learning, joy, development and happiness!
