The first nine plagues are divisible into three groups: 1) the water turning to blood, frogs, lice 2) wild beasts, pestilence/epidemic, boils 3) hail, locust, and darkness. Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch explains that these were punishments measure for measure for afflicting the Jewish people with slavery: 1) The first of each group reduced Egyptians in their own land to the insecurity of strangers. 2) The second of each group robbed them of pride, possessions and a sense of superiority. 3) The third in each group imposed physical suffering.

  • Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot
    Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot – Thursday May 28 ● Eiruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This is to allow one to cook on Friday (Yom Tov) for Shabbat. Set aside a cooked food and a baked food that will be eaten on Shabbat and then: Take the food items (it is a good idea to wrap them in aluminum foil, or another distinctive packaging, to easily keep them apart from the rest of the foods in your home), and raise them a handbreadth, and then recite the following: Blessed are you, L-rd our G-d, king of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv. Through this [eruv] it shall be permissible for us to bake, cook, put away a dish [to preserve its heat], kindle a light, prepare, and do on the holiday all that is necessary for Shabbat — for us and for all the Israelites who dwell in this city. The eruv is put away until Shabbat, when it is eaten. In many communities, it is customary to use the challah or matzah as one of the two loaves of bread used at the Shabbat meal. ● One should make an effort to daven mincha before plag hamincha which is at 7:19pm. We will have a Zoom pre-Yom Tov ruach at 6:45pm followed by Mincha at 7:05pm. ● Candle lighting should take place at 8:31pm. Many women have the custom to recite shehecheyanu immediately after lighting candles (note: women who will be reciting Kiddush themselves may not recite shehecheyanu at candle lighting).

The memories of the' paradise of our childhood are the only treasures which the barbarians could not destroy. I hope that with the translation of "Aus der Schlitzenstrasse" I may be privileged to revive for il fleeting moment in the reader's mind recollections of a noble epoch, and to renew my tribute to a generation which played so grea.t a part in fashioning the ideals which have inspired me throughout life.

    Parshas VaEschanan 11 Av | August 1, 2020 Candle Lighting Havdallah Torah Reading Haftorah Candle Lighting 8/7 8:01p 9:08p Devarim 3:23 - 7:11 Yishayahu 40:1-26 7:53p CONTINUOUS CONSOLATION RABBI SHMUEL SILBER SHABBOS SCHEDULE As I write these words, the tears of Tisha B’Av are not yet dry. We spent this past Wednesday even- Shabbos Nachamu ing and Thursday mourning two thousand years of collective loss. We mourned the 2,500,000 Jews Shabbos Night murdered during the destruction of the second Temple, we mourned the 6,000,000 who perished in 7:00p Mincha followed by Kabbolas the Holocaust, we mourned every man, woman and child we have lost throughout the years. But Shabbos then something amazing occurs – we find comfort. This Shabbos is called, Shabbos Nachamu (the 8:01p Candle Lighting Shabbos of consolation). This name is taken from the opening words of the Haftorah, ‘Nachamu Shabbos Day Nachamu Ami, (be consoled, be consoled my nation),’ uttered by the prophet, Isaiah. We transition 8:30a Shacharis (9:40a Krias Shema) from profound mourning to a feeling of comforting consolation in just a matter of days. Yet, we must 7:50p Mincha ask, what has changed? Has the final redemption occurred? Have the fundamental challenges of 8:10p High School Boys Learning suffering and difficulty been alleviated? Where is the nechama (consolation) of Shabbos Nachamu? 8:10p Daf Yomi (Rabbi Silber) Rav Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik zt’l (1903-1993) explains this dynamic in a profound way. After 9:00p Maariv two thousand years of suffering and constant challenges, one would have assumed that the Jewish 9:01p Havdalah people would have ceased to exist.
