ב"ה SHAVUN Veyakhel-Pekudei; Shabbat Parah ב"ה Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei and Parah The Shela says: on Shabbat people have time to go to Shule, everybody is looking after his “Kavod” (respect) that he should call up to the Torah, and if not, he is going to show anger to everybody. That's how the fire of Machloket just light up. Dear Friends, What a fantastic Purim week we had! Over 100 people for the Megilah reading on Wednesday night, Thursday morning at Kadimah: Megilah, Purim Parade and the Jews Brothers live music. Finally on Sunday, the community Purim in the Park with 300 people! Great spirit, and great effort from so many all around the community. Let's keep this momentum towards Pesach, only 3 weeks to go! As a community, we must understand that the “Shechina” (divine presence) is not dwelling in a place that has hatred and Lashon Hara (bad language) amongst the people. We should treat our friends and congregants in Shule, as we treat ourselves, with respect and honour, then we will succeed as a community, and Hashem will dwell amongst us, same as in the days of the Mishkan. All ladies are invited to the Women's Kabbalat Shabbat this Friday night at Greys Ave. Don't forget to bring your husbands and children to the regular service :) Beware of Machloket (disputes) like from Pg. 516 Pg. 1162 Soncino Torah: Haftorah: Pg. 373 Pg. 383 AHC Contact Details: Shabbat Shalom, Office: 09 373 2908 [email protected] www.ahc.org.nz Rabbi N Friedler Rabbi Friedler: 021 714 157 fire! This week's Parasha starts with the commandment to keep the Shabbat, just before the Torah summarises all the work in the Mishkan: Artscroll Torah: Haftorah: Mikveh Bookings: 021 714 158 Aviad Cohen: 021 488 030 Yaira Cohen: 021 488 050 "And Moses assembled the entire assembly of the children of Israel and said to them: For a period of six days, work may be done, but the seventh day shall be holy for you, a day of complete rest for Hashem; whoever does work on it shall be put to death. You shall not light fire in any of your dwellings on the Shabbat day" (Exodus 35, 1-3). AHC BoM 5775 Chair Refuah Shleimah: Our thoughts are with Malcolm Silverman and with any other congregants who are unwell at the moment. The Gemara on Shabbat 70a raise a question: Why only from all the works that have been made in the Mishkan, the Torah mention here only you shall not light fire? The Talmud gives a halachik explanation to the question but the Shela Hakadosh (R' Yishayah Halevi Horowitz 1558 - 1630) – interprets it differently: When the Gemara says "went out to divide" it means that the main character of the fire is to break apart the stuff it burnt. The Shela says on Shabbat End of Financial Year coming up soon. mostly we have to beware not to light the fire of Machloket (dispute, divide) and anger, and we must never light that fire. Do you have outstanding subs? Why especially on Shabbat don't light machloket? Please settle.or phone Accounts urgently.
