D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

Lessons From Keruvim In describing the construction of the Keruvim, the Torah notes that, “el Hakaporet Yiheyu Pnei Hakeruvim.” The Keruvim were looking down, towards the Kaporet and the Aron. In explaining this position, Rabbeinu Bechaye quotes the Talmud (Baba Batra 89) that this posture is like a student who lowers his eyes before his teacher, as an expression of reverence. When we have questions, comments or complaints concerning Jewish law or Jewish values we need to do so with humility and reverence towards a faith tradition that has been important to the moral development of humanity and that (hopefully) provides our lives with many outlets for meaning and satisfaction. But that’s not all the Torah tells us about the position of the Keruvim. The full pasuk reads: (25:20): 1) Vehayu Hakruvim porsei kenafayim L’maalah: these figures had wings that stretched upward 2) Upneihem Ish El Achiv: we are also told that the Keruvim were facing each other 3) Lastly, el Hakaporet Yiheyu Pnei Hakeruvim: they were looking down Explains the Abravanel so beautifully: The position of the Keruvim teaches us three important lessons: Just as the Keruvim’s wings stretched upward, so too should our thoughts be directed towards Heaven. We must consider our relationship with Hashem and how to enhance it, especially through the ritual Mitzvot Bein Adam L’Makom. And Just as the Keruvim faced each other, so too must we take notice of our fellow Jew and all fellow human beings. We must foster our empathy, our sympathy and our sense of responsibility towards others, especially through the enhancement of our interpersonal Mitzvot Bein Adam L’Chaveiro.

Rabbi Weinstock’s D’var Torah continued …..

And just as the Keruvim were looking downward towards the Aron, so too must we keep our eye on the Torah as a guide for how to fulfill the mitzvot and how to navigate life.

According to the Abravanel, the keruvim looking down don’t teach us to be humble; rather, they teach us to keep our eye on the Torah! When we have questions, comments or issues with our Torah or with Jewish life, our approach should be one of humility and reverence. But humility is not enough. We then need to empower ourselves by looking to our Torah. We must commit to learning and understanding so that we are better equipped to address our questions. Sometimes by keeping our eye on the Aron we may be able to resolve our own questions. Sometimes keeping our eye on the Torah, coupled with a healthy dose of humility, allows us to admit that we can’t figure this out on our own and that we need to seek advice or guidance from someone more knowledgeable. And sometimes it means having the humility to bear the question without an answer.

The synthesis of Rabbeinu Bachaye and the Abravanel resonates with me. The posture of the Keruvim is both a call for humility and an appeal for Jewish literacy. May Hashem give us the strength to emulate the Keruvim: by being a conduit to bring Hashem’s Presence into our lives and into our world.

Dvar Tefila

“They shall rejoice in Your Kingship” (Artscroll Siddur pg. 468) Yom Tov is a day of delight on which there is a specific mitzvah to rejoice. In the Ashkenazic tradition this paragraph- which speaks about rejoicing- does not appear in the Shabbat Amida for Maariv, Shacharit or Mincha. It is, however, included in the Musaf Amida because the subject of Musaf is the sacrifice brought in the Beit Hamikdash. As Rav Moshe Soloveitchik explained, the day on which a sacrifice is brought is one of joy; and on Shabbat as well there is an element of joy that emanates from the Temple Service. (Excerpted from The Koren Mesoret Harav Siddur pg. 579)

YIH Vaccination Policy Resolution passed by the Young Israel of Hollywood Governing Board on December 26, 2018: It is a religious requirement to get you and your child(ren) vaccinated for the safety of each child and for the community at large. There is no such thing as a Jewish/Halachic religious exemption to vaccinations. Shuls should protect their members (especially those who are medically unable to be vaccinated) by restricting access of those who choose to remain unvaccinated to shul programs and events. Therefore, all adults, youth and teens attending Young Israel of Hollywood programs or services, whether on or off our facility, must be fully vaccinated according to standards of the State of Florida in order to participate in our programs and services. The only exception to this policy is for those who are unable to receive vaccines for valid medical reasons.

This publication goes to the printer on Wednesdays. All submissions must be in the shul office by Wednesdays at noon.

U.K. Joins the U.S. in Publicly Opposing the United Nations Discriminatory Blacklist Britain joined the United States in publicly opposing the creation of a blacklist by the United Nations Human Rights Council that could be used for discriminatory action against Israel. After the release of this blacklist that included multinational operations like Airbnb and TripAdvisor, many international and American leaders have released statements in opposition to its publication. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office in Britain told the Jewish Chronicle, “the U.K., along with a number of other European countries, opposed the creation of this database.” Members of Congress also released statements condemning the blacklist. Follow AIPAC on Twitter to see their statements. AIPAC urges the administration and Congress to act immediately to protect American companies on this list and to prevent American companies from participating in any U.N.-directed boycott against Israel. Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org.
