Yedidim for youth and society has been committed to strengthening Israel since its founding in 1991. The organization works in the realms of prevention and intervention of risk behaviors thereby enabling every child, youth, and young adult to reach their full potential and become contributing members of Israeli society. The card activity, 'Welcome the New Year with Yedidim', is centered on values that Yedidim cherishes- personal ideals as well as values related to family, community, tradition, and the world at large. These principles lead us in our activities with children and youth in Israel. Make a suggested donation of $18 and receive a game to share with family and friends.

Congregation In memory of

Rabbi Sidney Shoham Z”L

You stand upright this day, all of you, before the L‑rd your G‑d: your heads, your tribes, your elders, your officers and all the men of Israel; your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water (Deuteronomy 29:9–10) The Talmud (Pesachim 50a) tells the story of Rav Yosef the son of Rabbi Joshua ben Levi, who fell ill and was at the brink of death when his father’s prayers brought him back to life. When he came to, his father asked him: “My son, what did you see (in heaven)?” Rav Yosef replied: “I saw an upside-down world. Those who are on top here are on the bottom there; and those who are here regarded as lowly are exalted in heaven.” The Alshich explains that the leader or the sage is superior to the wood-hewer or the water-carrier is only from our earthbound perspective, which sees a “hierarchy” of roles. But when “you all stand before G‑d,” there is no higher and lower—what seems “low” here is no less lofty and significant in G‑d’s eyes. For this commandment that I command you today, it is not hidden from you... it is not in Heaven... nor is it over the sea... for it is very near to you, in your mouth and your heart to do it. (30:11-14) The Torah tells us that this commandment is not over the sea; it is in your mouth and your heart to do it. In other words, one might have thought that it is over the sea. How is it possible that something as close as the mouth and the heart could ever be confused with being as distant as the heav-ens or over the sea? Rabbi Sinclair of Ohr Sameach in Israel, explains: 'Man consists of two opposing elements, body and soul. If we put our neshama, our soul, in charge of our body we can reach a level greater than the angels. If, on the other hand, we allow our body to dominate our spiritual side we become like animals. For just as an animal has no taste for wisdom and intellectual discernment, preferring hay, straw and the like, so too a person who centers himself on physicality finds things of the spirit without taste. Thus, man is an amalgam of two elements as disparate as heaven and earth. This is what the Torah is teaching us here. When a person turns his back on the great worth of the spiritual world, that world is indeed extremely distant from him - literally in the heavens. However the Torah tells him that really it is very near to you. If you just give the spiritual dominion over the physical, then it is in your mouth and your heart to do it. These words illustrate the enormous potential of man. In one second, he can rise to the heights by bringing Torah into his mouth and his heart, by bringing the furthest thing in the world close to him: In a split second, a thought can transport him from languish-ing in shadow to basking in great light; to being elevated to the loftiest heights. Surely - it is not hidden from you.' And I will conceal My face from them…it will say on that day, "Is it not because my G-d is not in my midst that these evils have come upon me?" (31:17) Rabbi Mordechai Willig offers the following insight: 'The Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, Ten Days of Repent-ance, the first ten days of the New Year, are meant to be the foundation-stone for the coming year. It is the standard upon which our behavior during the year should be based. Hashem is karov, close, to us during this time. Thus, this period is to imbue us to develop a personal relationship with the Almighty - throughout the year. There is no room in Yiddishkeit for intermediaries. One should feel a sense of nearness with Hashem. With this feeling in mind, no Jew should ever feel alone. This idea is alluded to in the Divine warning conveyed to Moshe Rabbeinu shortly before he bade farewell to the nation that he had cared for during these past forty years. The time would come when the people would say "because my G-d is not in my midst," when they would no long-er feel Hashem's presence among them. Our first error is in thinking that Hashem has left us. Hashem is always there. It is we who have turned away. The Navi emphasizes, "And know that I am in the midst of Yisrael." I have not turned away My face; you have turned yours away. Come back, return to me. Do not be ashamed. Return to Davening, to Tallis and Tefillin, to Torah study, to Shabbos. You can still walk hand in hand with Hashem as long as you perform teshuvah, repentance. ' Prepared by Devorah Abenhaim
