Zwolinski Tuesday, March 27 The Breslov Haggadah with Yossi Katz 8:30 pm to 9:15 pm An Important BRI Family Update written by Yossi Katz | May 1, 2018 Dear Friends, Two weeks ago, we shared with you the troubling news that Reb Chaim and Gita Kramer’s daughter – Cheena Rachel bat Gita Genendel was diagnosed with a serious cancer. Your outpouring of caring, love and prayer has been tremendous and mean so much to the family. Your response has proven once again that BRI is truly a large extended family; this is of course thanks to the Kramer family for everything they have done to introduce Rebbe Nachman to us and for bringing us together in study, song and prayer in Uman and throughout the world. At this time, we can share that Rachel has begun therapy, will access wisely the best healthcare Israel has to offer and draw upon HaShem’s mercy and miracles to assist. As mentioned previously, Gita asked that we join in prayer for Refuah. We hope to do more. Help us bring to print the second volume of The Power Of Psalms (Rebbe Nachman on Tehillim). Tehillim, Tzadakah and the merit of Tzadikim like Rebbe Nachman evoke great merit for healing the sick. The second volume is now complete and we would like to dedicate its printing for the Refuah of Cheena Rachel bat Gita Genendel. In our small way, this would be something we can do in unity to show our solidarity toward her recovery. The book is sponsored by the Hannan Family who have graciously given their blessings to all of us to share in this mitzvah.

  • Andy Russell's Dvar Torah Abraham Heschel Wrote That
    Andy Russell’s Dvar Torah Abraham Heschel wrote that “To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments.” My journey to this day started with prayer. I was raised by Jewish parents who called themselves secular humanists. We observed shabbat and all the major holidays, but with our own secular blessings rather than traditional Jewish prayers. I went to Hebrew school and learned Jewish history, holidays, heritage, and language, but no prayers. I was encouraged to connect with my own spirituality through the lens of Judaism but was given no guidelines. After 5 years of Hebrew school, my brother and I had our b’nei mitzvah in Israel, on top of Masada. We each read a poem or passage in Hebrew and then our own translations into English. It was a beautiful and memorable ceremony but bore no resemblance to a traditional bar or bat mitzvah. There was no Torah; there were no traditional prayers. For years I felt strangely out of place in synagogue – surrounded by Jews celebrating familiar holidays and events, but with prayers and rituals that I knew nothing about. I realized that I grew up steeped in the spirit of kavanah - the more personal intentional dimension of prayer, but without keva – the fixed nature of prayer, to anchor me in tradition. The blessings I grew up speaking and hearing were beautiful, and full of personal meaning, but when I attended synagogue, which I did more and more frequently as I grew older, I realized I did not share a common language with other Jews.

  • Ki Tavo Nidhe Israel 2020
    1 of 3 で ’ わ゙る D’var Torah Nidhe Israel Ki Tavo: “And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwell therein;” (Deuteronomy 26:1). One of themes with which this week’s Torah portion Ki Tavo deals with is the relationship between God and the people of Israel as we read: “You have affirmed this day that the Lord is your, God, that you will walk in His ways, that you will observe His laws and commandments and rules, and that you will obey Him. And the Lord has affirmed this day that you are, as He promised you, His treasured people who shall observe all His commandments. (Deuteronomy 26:17-18) What does this mean? how is our relationship to God and what is God’s relationship with us. I loved William Norman Ewer’s jingle: “How odd Of God To choose The Jews” and then the Jewish response which goes as follows: “Not quite So odd – The Jews Chose God” There is no doubt that it was the Children of Israel who chose God as we can see from the words in Exodus 24:7 “And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people; and they said: “All that the LORD hath spoken will we do, and obey.” It was without questioning that the Israelites accepted God’s words and instructions. However as we know no relationship can be one sided, and so God would have needed to accept us as people He can as it were work with and who can and would fulfil His commandments and He would thus in return be our partner.

  • Ki Tavo 5773
    Ki Tavo Ki Tavo, 18 Elul 5773 “Your Nation Are All Righteous” Harav Yosef Carmel In this week’s haftara , we find a famous and optimistic appraisal of our nation, which deserves a look as to what brings us such praise and what needs to be done to maintain it. “Your nation are all righteous; forever they will inherit the land” (Yeshaya 60:21). We will also look at it in connection with the once again, unfortunately, relevant issue of Anti-Semitic opposition to brit mila . This phenomenon reminds us of another famous pasuk – this one, from the end of Parashat Ki Teitzei : “Remember what Amalek did to you … he attacked from behind the necheshalim (stragglers)” (Devarim 25:17-18). There are two approaches in Chazal (Medrash Tannaim) as to who these stragglers were: those who strayed from the path of Hashem and were not under the protection of the divine cloud; those who had reservations about Hashem’s providence. The Tanchuma (Ki Teitzei 14) is more specific about the latter group and what befell them: Amalek would cut off the foreskins or Israel and throw them up to the sky, while saying: “Here is what you chose.” There are two important lessons to learn from these statements of Chazal : 1) The commandment to fight Amalek stems from the attack they made against Jews who were spiritually weak. 2) Whoever is not included in the mitzva of mila separates himself from the “divine cloud” – the protection of the Divine Presence. Thank G-d, the great majority of the Jewish community circumcises its baby boys.

  • Parsha Ki Tavo Parshat Ki Tavo: First Fruits by Leiba Chaya David the Land of Israel Has Been Conquered and Di
    Canfei Nesharim: Parsha Ki Tavo Parshat Ki Tavo: First Fruits By Leiba Chaya David The Land of Israel has been conquered and divided, and Jewish farmers have settled into the yearly cycle of growth and harvest. Now they are given a special commandment, one applying only in the Land: they must take their first fruits to the Temple to express their gratitude to G-d. The first verses of this week’s Torah portion of Ki Tavo describe the ritual of bikurim (first fruits): “…you shall take of the first of every fruit of the ground that you bring in from your Land that HaShem, your G-d, gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that HaShem, your G-d, will choose…” 1 As we will explore below, the farmers were not only thanking G-d for an abundant harvest, but also affirming the link between G-d, themselves, the Land of Israel, and the collective history of the Jewish nation. The Jewish farmers, upon bringing their bikurim , recited a passage relating their ancestors' journey to and from Egypt. 2 The Land of Israel is the culmination of this journey. The recitation of this passage, in addition to acknowledging Jewish historical continuity, can be understood to reflect the spiritual journey from self-reliance to G-d-reliance. In the Land of Israel, the most basic sense of faith stems from an agricultural dependence on G-d. The Jewish farmer, whose livelihood is entirely dependent on G-d's blessing, must live in a perpetual state of faith and appreciation.
