Would you like to house individueal for one Shabbat? Do you want to particpate in this world wide event? For more information contact Rabbi Azoulay [email protected] or Gaby Arrobas [email protected] About The Shabbat Project Toronto The Shabbat Project is a unique, global "grassroots" movement that unites the Jewish people through experiencing one Shabbat together. It all started in 2013, when South Africa's Chief Rabbi, Warren Goldstein, invited all of the Jewish people of South Africa to enjoy one complete Shabbat together. Despite initial skepticism, it was a huge success. Seventyfive percent of South African Jews kept Shabbat -- and captured the event attention of the world. In 2014 the movement spread across the globe and 1 million people in 465 cities, in 65 countries united to experience Shabbat together. According to Chief Rabbi Goldstein, "Canada can be tremendously proud of the fact that Toronto has emerged as one of the global hubs of the Shabbat Project." In 2015, the Shabbat Project spread to 915 cities in 63 Counties and 9 Continents -- and Toronto continued to lead the way. In 2016 Jews from all over the globe will, once again, unite through the beauty and sanctity of Shabbat putting aside all differences in background or upbringing to become one nation, undivided. Here in Toronto, over 1,000 families will be keeping a full Shabbat and thousands of individuals across Toronto and the GTA will be celebrating Shabbat in a significant way for the first time with the Shabbat Project. Each Shul, Synagogue, Temple, School and Organization in the GTA will be participating in its own way. You can get involved either by volunteering, by sponsoring or donating to help offset the cost or by contacting your Community leaders to get them on board. Connect with thousands of other Jews across Toronto—and around the world—by bringing your own special spark to the timeless observance of Shabbat. The Shabbat Project in Toronto is organized by a coalition of Jews that represent the entire spectrum of Jewish association and observance. Participation is open to all Jewish people regardless of language, culture, ethnicity, geography, affiliation, denomination and observance. We believe that labels are for clothes - not people. We don’t care if you’re unaffiliated, Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconformidox or anything else -- we invite you to join us!

From the Shofar blowing on Rosh Hashana, the intense praying on Yom Kippur, and the great happiness on Succot, to the amazing dancing and good times we had together over Simhat Torah...they all went by like a dream! If you missed out, we hope you come out next year! Though the location will hopefully be in Jerusalem! So the new year now begins and we're back to our routine. Parashat Bereshit, the start of the Torah, is what we're reading this week and here we definitely find a tool to have with us throughout the year. Upon creating the world and creating man, the Torah tells us (2:7) that "He [Hashem] blew into mans nostrils the soul of life, and man became a living being". The Onkelos there famously writes that a "living being" means: "a speaking spirit". This means that we are above animals and all other creatures because we have the gift of speech. Now how do we use this great gift properly? The Pasuk (2:5) tells us that Hashem did not send rain on to the earth because there was no man to work the land. Rashi (quoting a Medrash) tells us that the words "no man to work the land" ואדם אין לעבוד את האדמהcan also be explained that: "man didn't do the proper work on the land".The Medrash tells us that when Hashem created trees and vegetation He placed their tips just above the ground and only when Adam realized that rain will raise and sprout out the vegetation, did he pray for rain. Prayer is also called Avoda (hence .( לעבוד את האדמהOnly when Adam had Hakarat HaTov and recognized the utility of rain did he use his mouth to pray and spring forth the vegetation. The concept of Hakarat HaTov (recognizing when one has done good to you and acknowledging that), is from one of the foremost concepts that Hashem taught Adam because it is so very important. We are people that heavily rely on others to live our day to day life. From the moment we were born we relied on our parents to tend to us. We rely on the city that they built our roads safe to drive on, and we trust that the processed foods that we intake don't have poisonous ingredients in them. I can go on and on. Almost every action we do is a result of relying on others in some way or form. Hashem wanted to teach man that you are not alone in this world and that you will need the efforts of others for your own life, and if so then you must recognize every person that you rely on. If doing so then it will be a harmonious world of peace among mankind. We always say "Baruch Hashem" and "Thank G-d", which are tunes of recognizing Hashems hand in all that we do and in what occurs. This is the ultimate Hakarat HaTov. May we keep this up; internalize this message every time we say "Baruch Hashem", and pursue peace with fellow man by recognizing the good that each one does.
