RABBI’S MESSAGE MAXIMIZING OUR CHANCES

There is a Talmudic passage in Mo’ed Katan 28a where Rava states that there are three items in one’s life determined by Mazal: Chayai, the length of a person’s life, Banai, the number and the success of our children, and Mezoni, the success in business determining one’s sustenance. Rava states that each of these subjects is not dependent on one’s merit, but rather is dependent upon Mazal. There is much commentary as to what Mazal is all about.

The Talmud continues to describe to us the distinction between the events and lives of two rabbis, Rabbah and Rav Chisda, who were both very righteous people. One would pray for rain and the other one would fail in his prayers. Rav Chisda lived 92 years; Rabbah lived only 40 years. Rav Chisda’s household celebrated 60 weddings; whereas Rabbah’s household suffered 60 bereavements. The extent of the distinctions and the contrast of the experiences for Rabbah and Rav Chisda are immense and yet they are both very righteous individuals who possessed many merits in the eyes of Hashem.

Elsewhere in the Talmud (in Shabbat) Rabbi Yochanan states that prayer and good deeds can change the influence of one’s Mazal. Rabbi Chanina on the other hand claimed that one cannot escape bad Mazal.

It is now necessary to determine what Mazal is. In the Talmudic literature Mazala refers to the Zodiac signs in the sky which would indicate a form of determination by the Almighty as to what happens in one’s life. My own personal view on Mazal is a bit different. What it means is that I am not in complete control. There are elements in my life which are beyond my domain as if screaming out to me that I am not in charge. In truth, Hashem does determine in His wisdom what happens in our lives, and furthermore there are many outside influences which bear considerable weight in terms of the happenings in life.

Herman Wouk is a famous Jewish author who has had a successful career. In one of his books he speaks about his own life. He had a frum, righteous grandfather who studied Talmud all the time when they lived in the Bronx. This grandfather eventually made aliyah to Israel/Palestine before the establishment of the State of Israel in order to live the remainder of his life in Yerushalayim studying Talmud. The grandfather exerted a tremendous influence by being the role model of a saintly individual dedicated to the pursuit of Talmudic and Torah knowledge. When Wouk went to Columbia University he had a Jewish professor who was anti-religion and also exerted a tremendous influence on Wouk’s life and outlook. This was the outside influence which negated a great deal of the inside influence he received at home.

This is what I mean by the factors that determine a great deal in our life. We are not in total control. When we educate our own children there are plenty of influences in their lives that do not come from us. They come from other people and events, touching them in different ways. Even some of their peers might exert a lot of pressure and influence upon their outlook. Clearly it is obvious to us that we are not in total control, especially in determining the outcome of the three subjects that Rava had indicated: how long we live, the merits and life of our children, and how well we do financially in life. It does not mean that we are totally in the hands of the outside world, or in the hands of the stars in heaven. What it means is we are not in total control. We should still proceed and act in accordance with the areas in which we do have a great deal to

say. We apply ourselves with knowledge and good deeds so that we could fortify our own domain and help influence the successful determination of those things that are quite important to our life’s agenda.

I see a similar lesson in the Jewish calendar. We are aware that our calendar is both a solar and lunar calendar. It is solar and determined by the sun and the seasons of the year. We are not in charge. The sun will rise in the east and set in the west every day. Every seventh day is Shabbat. We cannot control any of these factors in our lives. This is the hand of God as He determined it to be from the outset of Creation. In the Gematria delving into the numerical value of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, we see that there is an equal value to the word in Hebrew Nature = 86 = - God. God has identified Himself to us in the laws of nature which are predetermined to our existence. That is represented in the concept of the solar calendar.

The lunar calendar, based on the evolution of the moon around the earth, is a message as indicated in Parshat Bo, where Hashem tells the Jewish people that we are the ones who determine when Rosh Chodesh is and therefore, for that matter, determining when the calendar of holidays will fall out. We can determine part of the calendar, Rosh Chodesh, and Yom Tov. In these areas we do have some influence. The solar calendar teaches us that there is a world in which we are not in charge and have no control. A lunar calendar teaches us that there are certain things in the world where we have an influence. And this is a very important punchline.

We have to understand that we need to stay in the game. We need to maximize our influences in the way we conduct ourselves, speak, and serve as role models to our family and to our community. We can spend a lot of time with our children. We can teach them, remind them of our love for them, articulate our life’s agenda, educate them to the ways of Torah, and remind them that Hashem loves us individually and collectively. Hashem has a covenantal relationship with the Jewish people. It is necessary for us to study well, and apply ourselves to make a proper, healthy living. In all these matters we need to maximize the influences we can demonstrate to family and friends. We need to stay in the game.

This is an important message. It does not state that we feel that Rabbah and Rabbi Chanina are all wrong. It strikes a balance between the opposing positions of the rabbis of the Talmudic period. They were perplexed by this issue just as we are. They read the Torah and it seems that the Torah text indicates that what happens in our life is supposed to be based solely on merit. Observe the Torah, obey Hashem, and we are rewarded with longevity and success, and in children, and in finance. And yet the rabbis did see that many times this was not the end result. Is the Torah wrong? Impossible. But the Torah was teaching us a truth and understanding that Hashem’s judgement is beyond our comprehension. We are bound in our responsibilities to Him, which in turn help us understand our responsibilities to ourselves. We strike the balance and perceive the goodness that we are trying to structure for our lives and the lives of our loved ones. May we succeed; may we earn Hashem’s blessings, and may we be determined to have the strength to stay in the game and maximize our influences for our own welfare.

Mitzvah Monitor “Loving the Convert”

Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

Towards the end of Parshat Ekev, we are commanded, “You shall the love Ger, for you were Gerim in the Land of Egypt.” The Midrash (Parshat Noach) explains this mitzvah as warning against teasing a convert by saying things such as, “Remember who you were/ what you did prior to your conversion?” The example offered by the Midrash is an egregious violation of this mitzvah. But the mitzvah also includes a mandate to respect and protect and love a convert to Judaism. We are to remember the sacrifice that a convert makes in leaving his/her family and religion of origin in order to pursue a life and a religion that is all encompassing and demanding. We are supposed to be inspired by the life trajectory of the convert. Our interactions with converts are meant to inspire us to think about what our Judaism means to us. When confronted with a “Jew by choice” those of us born Jewish should ask ourselves whether we possess a similar level of enthusiasm for a Torah lifestyle. If given the choice, would we choose Torah like the modern day convert? Perhaps that is why we are reminded of our own “convert” origins: For upon leaving Egypt we chose to receive the Torah. In essence, at Mount Sinai we all underwent a conversion. Another reason why the verse reminds us of our experience in Egypt is because that memory should drive us to avoid hurting others at all costs. It is often the case that the greatest advocates for a cause are those that have personal experiences with the issues and personally know how important the cause is to address. Or instance, some of the strongest advocates against bullying are people who were affected themselves by bullying, or have a loved one who was impacted. The Jewish People were victims of stigmatization that lead to hatred and oppression when we were strangers in Egypt. We should therefore make sure that no newcomer to the Jewish People ever experiences such hurtful behavior. This is a fulfillment of Hillel’s explanation of the verse “Love your neighbor as yourself’: “That which you find disagreeable, make sure not to do to others.” (Talmud Shabbat 31a. It is interesting to note that Hillel originally said this to a potential convert, since the lesson of this statement is so relevant to our relationship with a convert.) The Sefer Hachinuch (Mitzvah 431) asks why is it necessary for there to be a separate mitzvah to love the ger? Why is the obligation subsumed within the mitzvah of loving one’s neighbor? If a convert is a full Jew, then why is it necessary to have a separate command? The Sefer Hachinuch offers two answers. First, the Torah mentions converts specifically to show the great admiration that Hashem has,(and by extension we should have) for the convert. Secondly the Torah understood that converts may find themselves in a vulnerable situation. A convert is the ultimate “outsider”. Simply put: converts cannot play “Jewish Geography” like those who are born Jewish. The Torah demands that we be sensitive to the convert’s vulnerable status and respond by being extra careful to respect them, their journeys and their feelings. During my decade of service to the Young Israel of Hollywood- Ft. Lauderdale community, I have had the opportunity to teach prospective converts and to advise them along their spiritual journeys. I have also been privileged to officiate at conversion ceremonies, currently as a member of the Rabbinical Council of America’s Florida Beit Din for conversions. Many of these men and women who have completed their conversions are upstanding members of our Jewish community, and I am proud of the manner in which they have integrated and the warm welcome with which they were received. In recent months we have been shocked to learn about a person who had been viewed by many as a respected Jewish leader and advocate for converts. This individual is now in prison. Instead of helping converts, he was victimizing them in a most despicable fashion. This episode has inspired me to redouble my efforts to “love the convert”, and to share with you the importance of these attitudes and this mitzvah.


PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Take a trip into the past with me for a moment. It's

five am and the sun is waiting to rise over the shtetl. The cart wheels are quiet but the horses can be heard as they grow restless at their posts. The cow lets out a long sigh, waiting to be milked. The baker's brick oven emits the tantalizing smell of fresh bread. The Melamed rises, sipping a cup of hot tea while waiting for his fidgety pupils to arrive. The children yawn and stretch and eagerly await freedom to explore fresh fields of wildflowers. The tailor waits for growth spurts and grooms. The shoemaker waits for Autumn. The Rabbi waits for ten. The cobbler waits for nails run astray. The blacksmith waits for his apprentice. The farmer waits for rain. The drunk a bit of luck. And they all hold their breath, waiting for the next time the Cossacks get too tipsy, or too angry, or too bored.

And so it was. Year after year, generation after generation. Tiny little shtetls throughout Europe and small villages throughout the world survived together, a cohesive bundle or Jews, tightly interwoven, bound by their ancestry, origins and fear. Every simcha was everyone's simcha, every argument was everyone's argument. Together they walked lightly, desperate to avoid arousing the passions of hateful neighbors. Together they raised the children, imparting words of Torah from within tiny back rooms, and by simply by living its holy words. They needed each other, relied on each other, trusted one another implicitly. Everyone had a place and everyone had a purpose.

Today, we don't have the threat of a pogrom around the corner to bind us together, thank G-d. Today technology allows us to connect to people on one end of the earth and back again in seconds. No, today we don't rely on those in our immediate vicinity for all of our basic necessities. But deep down, most of us still yearn to be a part of a cohesive community. In some ways, we really do need each other just as much as the shtetl Jews needed one another.

Each of us has a purpose and place within this community, and each individual is crucial. One of you is a fundraiser, one of you is a networker, one of you is the social butterfly. One of your hyperactive children is the future Youth Leader. When we set down roots in a community, when we work to build this community, we are giving ourselves and our children a place to thrive. We are building a network of people to catch us when we're down and to join us in simcha. Community should not be viewed as a duty but as a privilege. I for one feel eternally grateful to be a part of this wonderful community, in this wonderful time.

In the coming weeks you will be receiving correspondence from the shul asking you to participate in a survey. We need your feedback on “what’s working for you” and what’s not. Are we providing for you spiritual needs? How are we doing for your children? What more can be done to make this into an even greater place? You have the answers and we need your input. Please take the time to fill this out and let us know how we can continue to grow the best community we can be.

SISTERHOOD MESSAGE

In a Jewish household, the wife is sometimes referred to as an akeret habayit, a term found Hallel. The term akeret habayit designates the woman as the ikar, the backbone of the home, the person charged with providing her home with its unique Jewish atmosphere. In her book, Women at the Crossroads, Rebbetzin Chana Bracha Siegelbaum writes: “Being the chief of her home, the woman is compared to the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and the work in her home to Divine service. Just as the Kohen Gadol kindles the menorah in the Beit HaMikdash, the woman lights the Shabbat candles in her home. The bread she bakes is like the showbread in the Temple. The food she cooks is like a sacrifice, and the table she sets is an altar. Her goal is to imbue her home with spirituality and fear of G-d. In the same manner that the Kohen Gadol causes the Shechinah [Hashem’s presence] to dwell in the world, the woman invites the Shechinah to enter her home.” If we look at our community as our collective home, our women do all those things listed above and continue to go above and beyond their call of duty.

We would like to take this time, as we close out our first year as YIH Sisterhood Co-presidents, to express a tremendous Hakarat HaTov to all of our incredible volunteers (and the shul staff) who have made this year so successful and have kept Sisterhood programs and fundraisers running smoothly. Kol HaKavod to you for ensuring the Jewish continuity in your homes as well as the entire Hollywood community. Thank you to the following committees, whose members are too numerous for us to name here individually:

Book Club Breast Cancer Awareness Event Chesed Coffee & Conversation Hospitality Mishloach Manot Committee New Member Gifts Panoply Rosh Chodesh Mind Body & Soul Rosh Hashana Cards Shavuos Yom Iyun

We would also like to welcome the new Sisterhood board members as well as the new General Board members. As always, for those of you who would like to get more involved in Sisterhood events, please contact us directly at [email protected].

FACTS I DISCOVERED WHILE LOOKING UP OTHER THINGS AN INTERESTING CUSTOM AND DISPUTE… The Maharik (1420-1480, Joseph Colon ben Solomon Trabotto, France). It was well known and accepted that a Kohen should receive the first aliyah. In a Responsum of the Maharik (#9) there was a custom in the 15th century in many shuls in France and Germany that on Shabbat Bereishit they would auction off the first aliyah in order to pay for certain community needs. The Maharik endorsed this custom, comparing the practice to the selling of Chatan Torah on Simchat Torah for a large sum of money. If a non-Kohen bought this first aliyah of the year, the custom was that the Kohanim would either daven in a different shul, or they would walk outside the shul so that the donor could be called to the Torah for the aliyah. It happened one time that one Kohen refused to leave the shul, and also refused to bid on the donation. Instead he insisted that he be given the aliyah gratis. The members of the shul called upon the city government authorities to remove the recalcitrant Kohen from the premises so that they could call up the donor for the aliyah. This issue was referred to the Maharik, and the Maharik ruled that the congregation was permitted to continue their practice of auctioning off this aliyah and calling the donor to the Torah, and they may ignore the presence of a recalcitrant Kohen.

SARAH AARONSON (1890-1917 Zichron Yaakov, Palestine)… Sarah Aaronson was the daughter of wealthy farmers in the Zichron Yaakov area near Haifa. She married and left Palestine to live in Turkey with her husband. She returned home to be with her family after several years of an unhappy marriage. She ended up being a spy for the British against the Turks. Sarah developed her skills as a horsewoman, and would ride down the coastal plain along the sea and she would share information on what the Turkish authorities were doing which she passed on to the British in Egypt. This group of Jewish people would form the organization called “Nili,” which is an acronym for Netzach Yisrael Lo Yishaker, which means “the strength of Israel will not lie” (Samuel I, 15:29) which loosely translated would mean “God will not let us down.” She was apprehended by the Turks and was tortured unsuccessfully. She held out for several days and was allowed to change her bloodied dress in the bathroom, where she took out a concealed pistol and shot herself and died at 27 years of age.

THE TIME FOR SHABBAT CANDLES… Back in the mid-nineties, a Jewish advertising executive in New York came up with an idea: what if the New York Times–considered the world's most prestigious newspaper—listed the weekly Shabbat candle lighting time each week? Sure, someone would have to pay for the space, but imagine the Jewish awareness and pride that might result from such a prominent mention of the Jewish Shabbat each week! He got in touch with a Jewish philanthropist, and sold him on the idea. It cost almost two thousand dollars a week, but he did it. And for the next five years, each Friday, Jews around the world would see "Jewish Women: Shabbat candle lighting time this Friday is..." Eventually the philanthropist had to cut back on a number of his projects. And in June 1999 the little Shabbat notice stopped appearing in the Friday edition of the Times. And from that week on it never appeared again, except once. On January 1, 2000, the NY

Times ran a Millennium edition, a special issue that featured three front pages. One had the news from January 1, 1900. The second was the actual news of the day, January 1, 2000. And then they had a third front page, projecting future events of January 1, 2100. This fictional page included things like a welcome to Cuba, the fifty-first state, a discussion whether robots should be allowed to vote, and so on. But in addition to the fascinating articles, there was one more thing: at the bottom of the Year 2100 front page was the candle lighting time in New York, for January 1, 2100. Nobody paid for it; it was just put in by the Times. The production manager of the New York Times, an Irish Catholic, was asked about it. His answer was right on the mark, and it speaks to the eternality of our people and to the power of Jewish ritual: "We don't know what will happen in the year 2100, it is impossible to predict the future. But of one thing you can be certain: that in the year 2100, Jewish women, will be lighting Shabbos candles.”

MANISCHEWITZ: THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY… The Manischewitz name in kosher food production is legendary. Reading the box of some Passover products by Manischewitz this year, it gave the historical background of a company that was founded by Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz in 1888 in Cincinnati. Further investigation showed that his real name was Dov Behr Abramson who came to America in 1888 and did so by buying a passport of a dead man whose last name was Manischewitz. He came to Cincinnati and started producing matzoh. It was a good run, and his machines were producing machine-made matzoh in a square form, which was new. They said he did so in order for easier packaging and shipping. In 1923 it became a public corporation and remained under family control until 1990 when it was bought out by a private equity firm. The company today, which has been renamed R.A.B., is associated with other well-known kosher brands, including Carmel, Elite, Mother’s, Rokeach, Mrs. Adler’s, and Tradition. R.A.B. seems to have a good share of the kosher label products in the stores. R.A.B. is not involved with Manischewitz wine, which has not been part of the Manischewitz Company in decades. The Manischewitz Company got into the wine business in 1947 and produces a super-sweet version of Concord grape wines. It was bought out by Monarch Wines and is now under a different name. The advertising slogan of Man-O-Manischewitz was extremely well received, and was performed by Sammy Davis Jr. for years until he was involved in a sex scandal at the Playboy Mansion. In 1990 the Justice Department accused Manischewitz of conspiring to fix matzoh prices. The tale involves Manischewitz, Horowitz brothers and Margaraten meeting in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Some stories include Streit’s in the tale. They agreed to fix matzoh prices for the next five Passover seasons. The government eventually fined Manischewitz $1 million for this effort to fix the price of matzoh. Eventually Manischewitz acquired Horowitz-Margareten, and Goodman matzohs as well soon thereafter. In the 1930’s, in order to produce all-year products, the company created Tam-Tam crackers, which are little hexagonal matzohs. The modern Tam-Tam is quite different from the original recipe. Today the Manischewitz Company is doing quite well in its newer facility in Newark, NJ.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: It was recorded in the past that the Jews of the 15th century used the flesh of mummies for medicinal purposes. Is it not

forbidden to derive benefit from the flesh of a corpse? A: I included this entry even though none of you really asked this question of me, and maybe the entry really belongs in

the Facts I Discovered column. This is a Responsum by the Radvaz (1480-1573), Rabbi David ibn Zimra. In his response he says that you do not have to be concerned about eating parts of the mummy because the body has lost its identity as being flesh and has turned into what we halachically consider as dust. These corpses had been embalmed with various substances to preserve the body and as a result they turn into a different element. There is no prohibition against ingesting them, especially since it is being used for medicinal purposes, but it is allowed even if the patient were not critically ill. Basically the body has lost its identity as a human being. It has lost its form and it is technically inedible and has become like dust of the earth.

Q: I normally attend services at a Chabad synagogue and the rabbi there has quoted the Lubavitcher Rebbe as stating that

one should be strict and not look at non-kosher animals. Is there any source to this? A: It is a custom of Chabad Chassidim and he is correctly quoting the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Ashkenazic shuls have

no such limitations and there is no prohibition against having a picture of a non-kosher animal, or a toy in the form of a non-kosher animal. Some are a little more stringent but we are not. You will note that Ashkenazic shuls have lions on the Parochet in the main synagogue, which I guess is for the inspiration that we should be courageous and strong as a lion. In the writings of Aseh Lecha Rav (8:60) Rabbi Chaim David HaLev, former Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Tel Aviv, points out there were non-kosher animals pictured on the flags of the tribes of Israel which they carried in the desert, so there should be no concern whatsoever for us to see non-kosher animals.

Q: Following this line, in a question that was brought up by Rabbi Aviner, the questioner poses: Is it permissible to name a

child Aryeh, meaning a lion, after his grandfather? Or is it problematic since it is the name of a non-kosher animal? A: There is no problem here. Non-kosher animals have positive traits with which the tribes were blessed when they

surrounded the patriarch Yaakov on his deathbed. The tribes were blessed to be like lions, wolves, and donkeys. The prophecy of Ezekiel in the first chapter of his Sefer has the images of a lion and an eagle. Throughout time Jewish people are named with these names, such as Devorah (bee) and Dov (bear).

Q: We were recently blessed with a new grandchild. Our children did not request any suggestions from us for the name for

the baby, but they did go to their rabbi for advice on the name. Is it really appropriate to go to the rabbi, and is it really appropriate not to come to the grandparents?

A: In my humble opinion it is not necessary to do either. It is certainly not necessary to go to the rabbi in choosing a

name. This is fairly new in modern times. The Ari, z”l, said that when parents name their child, a spark of Ruach HaKodesh, the Divine Spirit, shines within them. In terms of going to the grandparents it is not necessary either, but it would be good advice if the name is somewhat problematic in the family line.

Q: During the summer we take a trip and we stay in motels and they offer the usage of their microwave. How do we kasher

a microwave in that situation? A: The microwave is usually cleaned very well by the hotel staff, and you must ascertain that it has not been used in 24

hours. The glass turntable should be removed and replaced with a different surface; a paper plate would suffice. Then put a Styrofoam cup with water into the microwave and boil it for ten minutes. The cup should be refilled and moved to another spot and the process repeated for ten more minutes. That should be sufficient.

Q: I have an apartment that I own that I usually rent out. A young couple with two young children is in a bad financial

situation and is requesting to rent the apartment. I feel for them but the possibility exists that they will not be able to make the rental payments. Is it a situation of Chesed that should guide me to favor them as the renters for this apartment?

A: If there is a serious concern that they are not going to be able to pay the rent, you are not obligated at all to rent to

them. The act of Chesed is limited to one event. If it continues on a monthly basis, this is beyond the Chesed. If you want to give them the apartment at a discounted rate, that is your prerogative, but otherwise if you are risking not receiving the rental money which you feel you need then there is no act of Chesed on your part. You are not at all obligated to rent to them.

KOSHER KORNER When buying fresh produce at Publix, Winn Dixie, and other non-supervised stores, look out for vegetables and fruit

from Israel. These normally present kashrut issues due to the laws of Terumah and Ma’aser. This year is a Shemittah year and therefore presents a different halachic issue.

Daily Chef Strawberry Cheesecake sold at Sam’s Club has an unauthorized Wisc K Logo on the package. The cake is

kosher but the topping and fruit are done individually in each of the stores, which are not supervised, and the product should not be purchased as kosher.

The United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida has ruled that the law requires Florida prisons to

serve kosher meals to inmates who request them for religious reasons. “The state had argued that it had begun serving kosher meals to Jewish inmates who requested them and that the judge’s ruling was unnecessary. But Seitz pointed out the policy could easily be changed to deny kosher meals without an order to enforce it. “Court documents show more 9,500 Florida prisoners have been approved for the kosher meals. The program’s estimated cost is $12.3 million annually.” (SunSentinal May 5, 2015)

There is a case in front of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate as to whether an establishment can have kosher certification other

than that of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate. "Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein’s ruling that a business may circumvent the Chief Rabbinate’s state kashrus and obtain a private hashgacha is his office’s opinion, which was submitted to the Supreme Court. The nation’s highest court is hearing a petition filed on behalf of the Reform Movement on behalf of Jerusalem restaurants. The restaurants have been hit with fines by the Kashrus Enforcement Office since they operated as “kosher” but had a hashgacha other than the local rabbinate, in this case Jerusalem. Weinstein feels that as long as a business explains the kosher certificate is not from a local rabbinate, consumers are informed and may do as they please. He does not feel the current system, which compels one to take a Rabbanut hashgacha if one wishes to advertise as “kosher” should continue. "Chief Rabbi Dovid Lau (shlita) calls Weinstein’s ruling a mistake, and the Chief Rabbinate is planning to engage outside legal representation to respond to the case. "While Weinstein’s announced ruling does not change the law, it does make enforcing the current kosher law significantly more difficult for the Chief Rabbinate and local rabbinates around the country. Those wishing to defy the current kosher system feel their defiance is now backed by the attorney general.” (The Yeshiva World May 7, 2015)

Dear Members, We are pleased to announce that we will be publishing the eleventh edition of the Young Israel of Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale Yizkor Book for the coming year.

Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale June 2015

The Laws of the Three Weeks The Prophet Zechariah tells us that the fast days of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av, 3 Tishrei and 10 Tevet, will eventually be days of rejoicing for the Jewish people. Yet after the Babylonian Exile had ceased and Jews were returning to Eretz Yisrael, they would keep these national fast days until the prophet would instruct them otherwise. The prophet's words taught the people a fundamental thought about these fast days: The fast is not to honor Hashem. If a nation knows how to commemorate its tragic days of destruction and establishes these days as ones of fasting and prayer, this nation would be strong enough to merit a return to glorified days of old. Once the second Holy Temple was built, the fast days remembering the tragic loss of the first Temple were abolished. After the second Temple was destroyed, the fast days were reinstituted. Today, when we see the beginning of redemption with an independent State of Israel, we do not experience the full redemption of our people. Hence, we must keep these fast days, hoping for their abolishment soon with the coming of Mashiach and the building of the third Temple. These national fast days arouse us to moments of introspection and feelings of penitence. We remember the events that befell our nation and the sins that caused them, and we note that the sins of our ancestors have not left us. Hence we feel the need to confess and repent. The three week period of mourning begins with the 17th of Tammuz and culminates with the 9th of Av. This year it is observed from July 4 through July 26. Historically on the 17th of Tammuz, five tragedies happened: 1. The first tablets containing the Ten Commandments

were broken. 2. The , the two daily sacrifices, were

suspended during the time of the first Holy Temple. 3. The enemy penetrated the walls of Jerusalem prior to

the destruction of the second Holy Temple. 4. The wicked Apostumos burned the Torah. 5. An idol was erected in the Holy Temple. The 9th of Av also marks five tragedies that befell our nation: 1. It was decreed that our forefathers will remain in the

desert and not enter Eretz Yisrael. 2. The first Holy Temple was destroyed. 3. The second Holy Temple was destroyed. 4. The city of Betar was captured and tens of thousands

of Jews were killed. 5. The wicked Turnus Rufus plowed the site of the

Temple and its surroundings. Our custom is to observe some conduct of mourning during the entire three weeks, but we see that there are

various degrees of intensity of mourning as we get closer to Tisha B'Av.

LAWS OF THE THREE WEEKS

1. Although the fast day of the 17th of Tammuz begins in the morning of July 5, the mourning restrictions of the three weeks begin at sunset July 3. 2. Prohibited during the Three Weeks are: a) Haircutting and shaving (for men, women and

children; women are allowed to shave their legs). b) Listening to music. c) Weddings. d) Reciting a shehechiyanu (e.g. over new clothes,

fruit, et al). 3. Permitted during the Three Weeks are: a) Swimming. b) Attending a program or sports event where musical

entertainment is incidental to the main event. c) Reciting shehechiyanu on Shabbat. d) Singing Shabbat zmirot on Shabbat. e) Getting engaged to be married.

FAST OF 17TH OF TAMMUZ

1. The fasting begins at 5:14 a.m. on Sunday, July 5, and ends at 8:55 p.m. 2. a) One who intends to eat in the morning of a fast day

prior to 5:14 a.m. but after sleeping during the night, must be cognizant of the intent to do so before retiring.

b) The same law applies to drinking unless one usually has something to drink upon arising in the morning.

3. One may brush his teeth or rinse his mouth with mouthwash during the fast day if he is careful not to swallow (e.g. brushing one's teeth while bending over the sink). This is prohibited on Tisha B'Av and Yom Kippur. 4. If one eats by mistake on a fast day, he should continue to fast after realizing his error. 5. Swallowing capsules, bitter medicine tablets or bitter liquid medicine without water is permitted, even on Tisha B'Av.

LAWS FOR THE NINE DAYS 1. The Nine Days begin with sunset of Rosh Chodesh Av, Thursday evening, July 16 (8:14 p.m.) 2. One should not eat meat or poultry or drink wine or grape juice during the Nine Days, excluding Shabbat. (If one begins Shabbat early, one may consume wine and meat). Pareve food cooked in a meat vessel may be eaten during the Nine Days. 3. Beers and whiskeys et al (not containing wine) may be consumed during this period. 4. At Havdallah on July 18, a child under bar mitzvah age should drink the wine. If no child is available, the person making Havdallah may drink the wine.

June 2015 Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale The Laws of the Three Weeks continued 5. Swimming is prohibited. If one swims for medical reasons (e.g. exercising a paralytic condition or for removing dirt and sweat in a short dip), it is permitted. 6. Children under bar mitzvah age may go swimming. 7. Bathing during the Nine Days in hot water is prohibited. If this causes extreme discomfort, contact the rabbi. 8. If possible, one should not clean clothes during the Nine Days. 9. One should not mend clothes or make home improvements (e.g. painting, plastering, laying carpet, etc.), but one is permitted to plant trees or plants. 10. Elective surgery should be delayed until after Tisha B'Av.

WHEN TISHA B’AV COINCIDES WITH SHABBAT

1. This year the Ninth of Av occurs on Shabbat. Although the fast day is observed on Sunday, July 26 this has an effect on the Shabbat. 2. One may not have marital relations on this Shabbat unless the wife is going to the mikveh that Friday night. 3. One should not take pleasurable walks. 4. One may review the parshah that day but after midday one is permitted to learn about the actual observance of the fast. 5. The laws of the final meal (Seudah HaMafseket) do not apply and one may even eat meat or drink wine. 6. One may eat only until sunset (8:11 p.m.) 7. Birkat HaMazon may be recited B’Zimun (three or more men). 8. People davening Maariv in shul on Saturday night should wait until after Barchu to remove their shoes, or recite Baruch HaMavdil Bain Kodesh L’Chol, change from shoes to sneakers and then daven Maariv commencing with Barchu. NOTE:

Sneakers or other non-leather shoes should not be brought to shul on Shabbat for the purpose of wearing them after Shabbat. Bring them to shul before Shabbat on Friday. Sneakers should not be worn to shul on Shabbat as they are not Bichvod Shabbat.

9. Regular Havdallah is not said. a) The blessing over the fire is said on Saturday

night. b) The blessing over wine and HaMavdil are said on

Sunday night. c) No blessing over the spices is said at all. 10. On Shabbat, July 25, (Tisha B’Av) the rabbi will not give the class normally scheduled for one hour before Minchah, allowing us to eat Seudah Shlishit at home. 11. Minchah will be at 7:50 p.m. followed by a lecture on Eichah and some of the Kinot.

12. Maariv will be at 8:50 p.m. with the reading of Megillat Eichah. 13. In between Minchah and Maariv, Rabbi Davis will discuss “The History and Literature of the Kinot.”

LAWS OF TISHA B'AV

1. The fast begins at sunset (8:11 p.m.) on July 25, and ends at 8:49 p.m. on July 26. 2. Prohibited are: a) Eating and drinking. b) Washing one's body. c) Marital relations. d) Wearing leather shoes, even if only partially

made of leather. e) Anointing with oil. 3. Using deodorant is permitted. 4. Using mouthwash or brushing one's teeth is not permitted. 5. Learning Torah is prohibited. Learning about the destruction of the Temple is permitted (e.g. Job, Jeremiah, Talmud Gittin 56b). 6. Our custom is to prohibit working until midday (1:18 p.m.) 7. One does not greet a friend on Tisha B'Av with Shalom Aleichem. 8. Tallit and Tephilin are not worn in the morning. We put them on for Minchah.

FOLLOWING THE FAST

1. Many prohibitions of the Nine Days normally continue into the next day, the Tenth of Av. This year, though, the fast is observed on the Tenth of Av. 2. Eating meat, drinking wine and grape juice is prohibited on Sunday night. 3. All other restrictions (haircuts, washing, etc.) are lifted immediately after the fast.

Congress Combats Boycott, Divestment and SanctionsThroughout this year, the United States Congress has continued to demonstrate strong support for the U.S.-Israel relationship on issues such as foreign aid, security assistanceand oversight of Iran’s nuclear program. Recently, lawmakers have sought to expand the U.S.-Israel relationship even further, by drafting legislation that seeks to combat the rising tide of international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel.

In March, Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) introduced the U.S.-Israel Trade Enhancement Act of 2015. Taking aim at government-led anti-Israel activities, themeasure would leverage the ongoing free trade negotiations between the United Statesand the European Union in an effort to deter Europe’s “commercial discrimination”sought by the BDS movement.

Peter Roskam (R-IL) and Juan Vargas (D-CA) introduced a similar bill in the House of Representatives that both counters state-sponsored boycott, divestment and sanctions against the Jewish state and seeks to bolster economic ties between the U.S. and Israel. The legislation directs the president to report annually to Congress on U.S. efforts to combat BDS, and implements new regulations requiring foreign entities traded on U.S. stock markets to disclose information that will make clear any instances of boycott, divestment and sanctions.

“These attacks not only threaten Israel, but commercial relations across the globe. The U.S-Israel Trade and Commercial Enhancement Act will ensure that American free trade partners never engage in this harmful and illegitimate political protest against Israel, while also protecting U.S. companies from foreign lawsuits targeting their associations with Israel,” said Rep. Roskam.

“We need to reassure our commitment to our ally in the region by clearly defining U.S. policy to oppose this practice and dissuade other nations from adopting BDS policies toward Israel,” said Rep. Vargas.

While 2015 has been a concerning year for Israel within international forums, the United States Congress is actively working to expand the U.S.-Israel alliance to combat the challenges ahead.
