D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock Eggs and Pesach (Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2600-year-old-chicken-egg-shells-from-- Sunday first-evidence-of-use-in-diet/)

7:00am Shacharit Minyan Main Sanctuary It takes a chicken 26 hours to lay an egg, but it took archaeologists 10 years to crack the case 8:00am Shacharit Minyan Room 1 & 2 of the 2,600-year-old eggshells. Until now, the ancient chicken has come before the egg: Only chicken bones had previously been discovered in excavations and these shell pieces are the 8:45am Beit Midrash Minyan House across the street first evidence of chicken eggs used in the Holy Land diet, said Prof. Zohar Amar, of the Martin 9:00am Shacharit Minyan. Main Sanctuary (Szusz) Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology at Bar-Ilan University.

Sermon Rabbi Adam Frieberg Unlike Humpty Dumpty, the shells were successfully put back together recently through the use of high-tech 3-D virtual modeling. The implications of measurements garnered from this 9:00am Sephardic Minyan Library newly visualized ancient egg may well change concepts in halacha (Jewish law), according to Bar-Ilan University research released just ahead of the holiday of Passover. 9:30am Youth Minyan Chapel For centuries, there has been an argument among halachic scholars beginning in the Mishnah 9:30am Teen Minyan Room 5 (a 3rd-century CE codification of Oral Law) over how much unleavened bread (matzah) a 10:05am Latest Shema Time person is required to eat during the festive first night Passover meal, or seder. The requirement is given as kazayit, or the size of an olive. 6:40pm Gemara Shiur on Gittin (in Hebrew) Beit Midrash 6:40pm Daf Yomi Library Over time, however, some European scholars unfamiliar with the fruit of the olive tree developed a workaround system based upon kebaitza, or the size of an egg. Until today, 6:55pm Shiur with Rabbi Moshe Nachbar: Sefirat Main Sanctuary Lithuanian Jews living in Israel follow the ruling of the Mishna Berura (Rabbi Yisrael Meir Ha-Omer Through the Lens of History, Kagan, 1838–1933) and the Chazon Ish (Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, 1878-1953), which Halacha, and Hashkafa state that the size of an olive is 1/2 to 1/3 of the volume of an ancient egg.

7:40pm Minchah Main Sanctuary But what was the size of an ancient chicken egg? Between Minchah & Maariv in the Main Sanctuary : Rabbi Frieberg’s shiur What's About a decade ago, archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar unearthed a trove of hundreds of eggshell Chametz Got to Do With It? pieces during excavations of an elite late First Temple period structure in Area G of the City of 8:27pm Maariv & Yom Tov ends Main Sanctuary David. They were placed in the care of the head of Haifa University’s Archaeozoology Lab, Prof. Guy Bar-Oz, who confirmed that they were indeed chicken eggs. Due to their delicate fragility, the discovery of eggshells is rare and this is the first evidence of chicken eggs in the Holy Land.

However, the shells then sat until recent research conducted by Amar, who released the results Shabbat/Yom Tov Safety, Security & First Aid ahead of an upcoming Bar-Ilan University archaeology conference on nature and agriculture in AED (Automated External Defibrillator) & other equipment in closet biblical Israel. Interestingly, the modern Hebrew word for chicken, tarnegol, does not appear next to Social Hall. Safety Reflector Belts (a project of the OU) are in the closet for in the Bible. The word comes from ancient Sumerian, where it literally means “the king’s use by our congregants. bird.” By Talmudic times, a fowl species called sechvi in the Book of Job was thought by the

Hollywood Police will control the light: Friday 7:15-1:00am Amar told The Times of Israel on Sunday that after he received the shells from Bar-Oz, he Shabbat 7:45am-12:30pm & 6:00pm-1:00am searched for a way to put the pieces together.

On Shabbat and Yom Tov HPD and Security Personnel will screen people.

The ancient egg’s 61 grams is well within modern egg weights and so there is no reason to double the amount of matzah consumed based on the impression that ancient eggs were much larger.

Asked whether the new information on the size of the ancient chicken’s egg would affect his personal religious practice this Friday night regarding the amount of matzah he would Vaccination Policy consume, Amar laughed and said it would not as his Yemenite tradition is very close to the The following resolution was passed by the Young Israel of Hollywood size of the modern egg.

“You have chosen us from all peoples; You loved us and found favor in us.”

The Siach Yitzchak explains the difference between these three verbs. Someone is chosen when the Chooser (in this case Hashem) finds something favorable in the chosen one that is not found in the others. Love is fostered as a result of the chosen one doing something for the Chooser that fosters an affinity. Therefore, there is a motivation for the love and also a limit to that love, ie commensurate with the cause of that love. This is not the case by We are looking to hire an engaging and passionate Youth Director who will “favor”. There need not be any reason for the one to find favor, and therefore there need not be responsible for creating and implementing a comprehensive program of be any limit to that affinity. In Egypt Hashem chose us, though Bnei Yisrael were not much Jewish youth activities for our shul. The Youth Director will facilitate a range different than the Egyptians. When the Jewish People committed themselves to of activities that enhance Jewish identity, develop leadership, facilitate circumcision and the Korban Pesach on Pesach, they earned Hashem’s love. This love friendships and build a sense of community. found full expression and strength at Mount Sinai.
