Rabbi’s Message !!Our Shul dinner is a yearly “ritual”, where we join together to assess and celebrate our congregation’s progress and achievements. It is now many years since our Shul was established, and we continue to stress, as we have from the beginning, three pillars of our faith: Torah, Tefilla, and Chesed – the study of our heritage, communal and personal prayer, and caring and support for others. The Jewish religion has multiple facets, and different people stress varying parts of the religion as being of foremost importance. The Midrash records that there was once a debate among the great Rabbis, as to which verse in the Torah captures the essence of what it means to be Jewish.

Ben Zoma said, the central verse is “Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad”—there is only one G-d and we must worship him. Ben Nanas said, the verse which embodies the quintessence of Torah is “Ve-ahavta lere’acha kamocha”—love your fellow man as you love yourself. Ben Pazi said, the central characteristic of Judaism is in the verse, “Es hakeves ha’echad ta’aseh baboker, ve’es hakeves hasheini ta’aseh bein ha’arbayim”—the first lamb is to be sacrificed [daily] in the morning and the second lamb is to be brought every evening.

Rav Ploni stood up and said: “The Halacha follows Ben Pazi”—the ruling is in accordance with the view of Ben Pazi.

This conclusion to the rabbinic debate is surprising, to say the least. Service of God, service to man—these are values familiar to us as the cornerstone of religion. But offering a daily sacrifice? Why did Ben Pazi rate that so highly? And, most amazing, the assembled Rabbis agreed with him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

Nechama and Ari Markowitz

Guests of Honor

Ari and Nechama Markowitz have lived in Monsey nearly their entire lives and have played important roles in the shul since moving to the Blueberry Hill community six years ago—Ari as a chazzan and recording secretary of the Shul Board and Nechama working on various print and publicity projects. The Markowitzes attribute their shul and the community involvement to their parents who have always been extremely involved in their respective shuls, from serving as executive board members, to Sisterhood president, to gabbaim. Ari is a graduate of Queens College and Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work and serves as assistant administrator at The Jewish Home at Rockleigh in Bergen County. He has enjoyed music for as long as he can remember, learning early on from his grandfather, a professional chazzan. As a child, Ari was a member of the Tzlil V’Zemer Boys Choir and has co-produced and written lyrics for an album entitled Shaleim. An accomplished pianist and singer, Ari’s vocal talents can be heard regularly on Shabbosim as a chazzan for the shul. He has been named a finalist for The Leo Brody Jewish Communal Service Award. Nechama attended Stern College for Women and the Fashion Institute of Technology and works as a graphic designer. She has a passion for the fine arts one of her paintings was recently on display at The Rockland Center for the Arts Members Gallery Show. The Markowitzes are the proud parents of their son, Ezra.

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Yeshaya Rotbard has lived in the Monsey area since 1980 and has been affiliated with Ohaiv Yisroel for more than 25 years. Mr. Rotbard’s dedication to the shul is on display—serving as gabbai every Shabbat at the hashkama minyan and organizing Shalosh Seudot every Shabbat. Over the past 30 years Mr. Rotbard has been deeply involved in the Jewish community, working with the Jewish Education Program (JEP) of Rockland, Feldheim Publishers, and teaching English studies in yeshivas in and around Rockland County. His passion for writing, for poetry, and for music has led to several publications: a text on Pirkei Avos entitled Successful Jewish Living; a volume of poetry, The Calligraphy of Clouds (and two soon-to-be-published volumes); as well as compositions of numerous songs and niggunim. Mr. Rotbard is the proud father of Meir, Shulamis (married to Shlomo Jackson), Dovid (married to Mara Warren), Chanie (married to Hillel Max), Yossi, Moishy (recently married to Yocheved Hiller), Yaakov, Akiva and Aviva, and nine grandchildren.
