Shabbat Afternoon D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock 5:00pm Early Minchah Main Sanctuary ְּב ֵ֣אין חָ֖זֹון יִ ֵָ֖֣פ ַֽרע ָָ֖֑עם :(Shlomo Hamelech wrote in Mishlei (29:18 6:40pm Shiur on (in Hebrew) Beit Midrash “without vision, the people will perish” Vision is an idea of the future. But more than that, it is the ability to see the present as it is 6:55pm Daf Yomi Library and formulate a future that grows out of and improves upon the present. People with vision are able to see into the future without being far-sighted and remain rooted in the present without There is no Seudah Shlishit at shul, allowing us to eat Seudah Shlishit at home being near-sighted. The list of sins alluded to by Moshe at the beginning of this morning’s before Minchah. There is no Seudah Mafseket this year. Parsha can all be attributed to one basic failing: Bnai Yisrael lacked vision. If we are looking for a role model for having vision, then Rabbi Akiva is our man. The 7:55pm Teen Minchah Room 5 ( 24) recounts how Rabbi Akiva and his Rabbinic colleagues were touring the Temple Mount in the aftermath of the Destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. Suddenly, they 7:55pm Minchah Main Sanctuary saw a fox emerging from what once was the Kodesh Hakodashim. While his colleagues wept, Rabbi Akiva laughed. They asked him: Why are you laughing? He asked them: Why are you Between Class with Rabbi Weinstock: Retaining Main Sanctuary crying? Minchah & Relevance: Tisha B'Av Post-1967 They responded: It’s obvious. A place that at one time was so holy that even the High Maariv Priest could only enter into once a year, and now a fox roams through: isn’t that enough reason to cry?! No Parsha Shiur with Rabbi Yossi Jankovits In response Rabbi Akiva explained that the prophecies of Zecharya foretelling the (resumes August 11th) Messianic age could only be fulfilled once the prophecy of Uriah which deal with the Temple Mount being plowed over, had been realized. 8:52pm Maariv followed by Eicha and Kinot Main Sanctuary Rabbi Akiva was a man who saw the bigger picture. He had vision. Instead of dwelling in the tragedy of the moment, he took solace in knowing that the Messianic prophecies were now After Eichah Yizkereim film presentation V'nikdashti as Social Hall sure to be fulfilled. told by Survivors Torah Umesorah / The We should not be surprised by this quality of Rabbi Akiva’s. One of the earliest stories Zechor Yemos Olam Program in conjunction we know of him is how at age 40 he was inspired to begin learning Torah. What was his with The Rabbi Leib Geliebter Foundation inspiration? A rock that over time was being worn away by dripping water. Only a person with vision could be inspired by such a sight. Rabbi Akiva understood that real change is the type that takes years, if not decades, to occur. Rabbi Akiva’s ability to have vision continued even at the time of his death. We read of TISHA B’AV his martyrdom on Tisha B’Av. The Talmud Yerushalmi explains that as Rabbi Akiva was Saturday July 21 Fast begins 8:13 p.m. being executed, he was engrossed in his prayers. The executioner asked him how it is possible Sunday July 22 Shacharit 7:00, 9:00am, Minchah 2:00, 7:50pm, that he not feel the pain. Rabbi Akiva responded that he rejoiced now at the opportunity to Fast ends 8:52pm Love G-d with bechol Nafshecha- with his life, and not just with his heart and his possessions. Please see full program on back page By having vision, and focusing on the bigger picture, namely his love of G-d, Rabbi Akiva was able to transcend a fleeting moment of unimaginable pain. It is not by coincidence that we explore the importance of having vision on Shabbat Shabbat Safety, Security & First Aid Chazon, named for the first words of this morning’s Haftarah. In it, the prophet Isaiah has a chazon, a prophetic vision of the destruction of Jerusalem and its causes. Rabbi Kalonymous “Safety & Security is everyone’s responsibility. If You See Something Say Kalman Shapira, The Piasetzner Rav, was Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto. His sermons and Something!” Talk to the President, Rabbis, or Executive Director. teachings were collected in the book Aish Kodesh. The last entry in that book is from Shabbat AED (Automated External Defibrillator) along with other first aid equipment in closet Chazon 1944. In that drasha, Rav Shapira explains that Yeshaya received a chazon, a vision, next to Social Hall. because The Jewish People had lost their vision. In an effort to improve our Security, please do not congregate in and near the “We lost the vision of our true goals in life, and we lost our sight of the truth.” SECURITY TENT. Our Security teams needs to stay focused while they are on Disappointment, frustration and stagnation, as well as a lack of spiritual growth can all be attributed to one root cause: a lack of vision. It’s not enough to make a To Do list for the day duty. Any questions or concerns should be brought to the attention of the Shul and post it on our refrigerators, or even to make goals for the week. We need to ask ourselves: Security committee and Board of Directors. What do we want to achieve, who do we want to be in 5, 10 or even 20 years from now? Shabbat Crossing schedule: Stirling Road at SW 33rd Avenue On this Shabbat Chazon, let us learn from the example set forth by Rabbi Akiva: Real Hollywood Police will control the light this Friday 7:00-11:00pm. Shabbat 7:45am- change and significant goals can only be achieved if we never lose sight of our vision. 12:30pm & 6:30-9:30pm. A custodian will manually change the light between 6:50 & 7:10am. Please cross Stirling Road in the crosswalk after all traffic has stopped.

D’var Torah : Rav James We find ourselves starting a new Sefer of Chumash this week - Sefer Devarim. It is not coincidence that this is happening during the nine days. In fact, this occurs every year as we read Parshat Devarim on Shabbat Chazon, the Shabbat before Tisha B'Av. The reason that it is mentioned in Halacha is the phrase Eicha that Moshe uses in this week's Parsha, which is additionally the opening word and name of the that we read on Tisha Bav. According to Rashi, the entire opening of Sefer Devarim is a Mussar Shiur from Moshe to Bnei Yisrael reviewing how they behaved on so many occasions. Each name of a location that is mentioned is alluding to another incident where Bnei Yisrael misbehaved. This speech is given on the first day of the month of Adar just several days before the passing of Moshe Rabeinu. Rashi explains that Moshe learned from Yaakov to wait and give constructive criticism to his children only before his death. In the middle of the speech Moshe says something that looks out of place. “Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.” The Ramban’s commentary on the Torah suggests this isn’t just a historical description but rather a reminder of a positive commandment for all Am Yisrael. So why in the middle of telling off Am Yisrael does Moshe mention a Mitzvah? Why only one Mitzvah? I have spent the past month giving daily shiurim to staff at Moshevet Stone. The entire camp was looking at the development of Zionism and the early pre-state Aliyah bringing us to conclude the session this week with the establishment of the State of Israel. One of my shiurim was looking at the question whether the mitzvah of Yeshuv HaAretz exist today. We looked at numerous sources from all sides of the halachic argument, both old and new, from Zionist Rabbis and anti Zionist Rabbis as well as secular and religious intellectual articles. One item was the speech from last year’s conference commemorating the disengagement from Gaza held in Israel. This speech was presented as part of a panel where the MK representing the Aguda, said, "We believe that the Mitzvah of settling the land of Israel is one out of the 613, unlike you Religious Zionists that think it has a greater significance over other Mitzvot". Maybe this MK accidentally used the argument presented by the Sifrei as to why we as Religious Zionists believe in the centrality of this Mitzvah; not just as one of the 613 Mitzvot but as equal to all of the other 613 Mitzvot together. Perhaps an explanation as to why Moshe mentions only this one key Mitzvah in this speech is that Moshe wants us to understand its importance. Moshe is telling us that the only way to correct our sins that push us away from God is committing to the Mitzvah of settling Eretz Yisrael, the land of God. Hopefully next year we will all be celebrating together our full Geula and the complete return of Am Yisrael to our one and true home.
