Short Toras Chaim Vort

Breishis 3:23 “He sent them from Gan Eden”

Sfas Emes comments that this appears that HaShem

sent Odom and Chava on a mission.

What could that mission be? What relevance could this

have for our lives today?

It was not just a punishment. It was an opportunity for

them to find Gan Eden as it exists in the world today. In

other words Odom and Chava’s mission, and our mis-

sion also, was to take the world that contains the rem-

nants of Gan Eden and put Humpty Dumpty together

again.

Good Shabbos,

Rabbi Cohen

Our monthly young professional Shabbat experi-

Dear Community Member,

Thank you for making Simchas Torah at our Community Shul so beauti-ful, “leybadik”, and successful.

On a successful year our Simchas Torah auction can sometimes cover as

much as 25 % of our annual budget and we are extremely grateful for your contribution to help us continue to provide you with the quality

programs and services that you have come to expect from us. We are of course amenable to whatever accommodation you may need to assist

you in paying your pledges.

If you made a pledge for Simchas Torah, you should have received your invoice via our Quickbooks system already. If you did not receive an

invoice for your pledges, please email or call Miryum at miryum@thecommunityshul.com or 424-354-4130.

If for some reason you were unable to place a pledge, or would like to

help our fund raising effort, you can still contribute any amount through the Kiddush/Havdolo fund. Simply reply to this email with your name

and amount and we will add you to that list. This will give you a chelek in the brocho that is made every week in every shul throughout the world!

Warmest regards for a healthy winter,

Rabbi Cohen
