YNA Newsletter 3 of 12 As you know this week I departed from Yeshiva after 3.5 years of study. I can only use the posuk Ach Tov VChessed Yirdifuni to describe my experience in Yeshiva.Through the Dapim of Gemara and Halacha which you have taught me I feel I have attained an understanding of my role in this world as an Eved Hashem, and how to fight the constant struggle for self-improvement. I also take note of the Yeshivas unique tolerance for my eccentricity, and the second, third and fifteenth chances that I was given when I was caught in violation of the Yeshivas policies. As I continue on in my education I now have a framework for my life. I have goals which better align with the Torahs views of the way a Jew should live. I wish you success in educating many more Talmidim successfully. As you know my absence in Eretz Yisrael is very temporary. I eagerly await our reunification. We should merit to see the coming of Moshiach and the building of the Beit Hamikdash in Zechut of all the good you have done for generations of students. Please pass this letter on to Rav Bina as well. Mordechai Rav Aryeh Bina zt"l The following is a translation from an Israeli newspaper of an article about HaRav Aryeh Bina z"tl published during the week of his yahrzeit. Part III-ROSH YESHIVA AND MAINTENANCE MAN The one picture hanging on the wall of HaRav Bina's office was that of HaRav Yerucham Levovitz, the Mashgiach of Mir who had the most influence on him. Stories abound regarding how ethical HaRav Bina was, how well-balanced he was. His standard of ethics extended even to the finest of details. HaRav Re"em HaKohen relates that he was once learning in the Beit Midrash on the afternoon of Erev Rosh Hashana. HaRav Bina entered and collected the papers in the Beit Midrash. He then took his special Rosh Yeshiva chair and moved it to the Ezrat Nashim for the Rabbanit to sit on during the Yom Tov. In his biography - MiMir Netiv Meir, the story is told of a student who poured garbage over the head of one of the Rabbanim, while another poured garbage over a cleaning woman. HaRav Bina elected to expel only the one who threw garbage over the cleaning woman. The Rav in question approached HaRav Bina asking: "what about kavod haTorah?" Rav Bina responded: "you were a talmid chacham before and will remain a talmid chacham, the cleaning lady on the other hand feels downgraded because of her work. The little self-respect she possessed has been taken away and we cannot remain silent. HaRav Re"em HaKohen recalls that immediately prior to the sounding of the Shofar he noted that the radiator in the women's section was blowing out hot air. He went up and closed the vent. "Who even worries about such things at the time of shofar blowing?" wondered HaRav Re-em HaKohen. It was not beneath the Rosh Yeshiva's dignity, especially in the early years when the Yeshiva was not yet on solid ground, to assist in the maintenance of the Yeshiva. There was once a blockage in one of the pipes. After the students had entered the classroom, the Rosh Yeshiva went out to release the blockage using a makeshift tool. On one occasion he tried to explain to the Arab worker that the sidewalk corner was not laid properly and as a result water may enter the building. At a certain point the Rosh Yeshiva elected to fix the problem himself while still clad in his Rabbinic garb. HaRav Bina was a man of such integrity that no one received any preferential treatment. One of his students related years later that his father and Rav Bina were good friends from their days in Mir. However, when the young man was suspected of cheating, HaRav Bina did not hesitate to send him home demanding that he return together with his father. Another student, the son of a well-known public figure, attended a Bnei Akiva activity without permission - he too was sent home. Suspending a child would at times have serious effects on the budget - if it involved the son of a public figure who had the power to rescind monies allocated for the Yeshiva. This had no effect on HaRav Bina's decision. HaRav Bina boasted that his mussar sichot were better than those delivered by the famed Mashgiach HaRav Yerucham Levovitz. Why? For the simple reason that HaRav Bina would carefully study HaRav Yerucham's sichot, choose the most appropriate among them, and add to them. His sichot mussar often included sharp words of rebuke, yet he always waited until the customary time for the sicha - Motzaei Shabbat - before speaking his often sharp YNA Newsletter 4 of 12 words. HaRav Meir Tauber relates that Rav Bina viewed his Yeshiva as a mussar Yeshiva placing great demands. He wanted his Yeshiva to be an outgrowth of the Mir Yeshiva where they educate to greatness in Torah - just as in Mir there was totality in learning and mussar. His relationship with his students was one of love on the one hand and toughness on the other. HaRav Re"em speaks in the same breath about Rav Bina's love for his students on the one hand, and their trembling at the sight of him on the other. HaRav Stefansky relates that when the students would hear that HaRav Bina left his house en route to the Yeshiva, still a few hundred meters away, the atmosphere would immediately change. HaRav Mordechai Sternberg, who learned in HaRav Bina's shiur (Rav Bina was a Ra"m in addition to being RoshYeshiva) relates HaRav Bina was not close and informal with his students, yet at the same time was not distant - he remained easygoing and unassuming. HaRav Chaim Sabato describes the discipline of the Mussar Yeshivot of Europe to which the Rosh Yeshiva always remained strongly connected along with the love he showed for his students, at times showing signs of youthful mischief. He was a man of great stature yet shared a common language with his students. HaRav Grossberg relates that one evening he arrived in the Yeshiva and found it empty - they all decided to hold a kumzitz at Mount Herzl. HaRav Grossberg decided to rebuke them for having left Yeshiva. Upon arriving at Mount Herzl he began speaking at which point the students all burst out laughing for a very simple reason, the Rosh Yeshiva was seated among them. HaRav Bina maintained good relations with his Rabbanim. HaRav Grossberg relates that HaRav Bina did not act as a ruler and in general gave the Ram"im a free hand. He would never insist that they accept his view, yet due to his stature the Ra"amim and students generally conceded to his opinions. HaRav Grossberg relates that HaRav Bina's multi-faceted approach was beneficial for the students. He would never pressure any student to attend or particular Yeshiva, or for that matter attend Yeshiva at all. He may have identified with the Religious Zionist movement (he was often seen at the Yom Ha'Atzmaut parade wearing his Lithuanian-style kippa), yet he would never stand in the way of anyone wishing to attend a Haredi Yeshiva. HaRav Sternberg, for example, spent time learning in the Knesset Chizkiyahu Yeshiva in Kfar Chassidim before moving on to Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav. He said that HaRav Bina never steered him towards a Haredi Yeshiva while at the same time did not prevent him from studying in one.

  • Devrei Torah Presented Weekly in Loving Memory of Rabbi Leonard S. Cahan Z”L, Rabbi Emerit
    BS”D May 8, 2020 Friday is the 29th Day of the Omer (Pesach Sheni) Potomac Torah Study Center Vol. 7 #28, May 8, 2020; Emor 5780 NOTE: Devrei Torah presented weekly in Loving Memory of Rabbi Leonard S. Cahan z”l, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Har Shalom, who started me on my road to learning almost 50 years ago and was our family Rebbe and close friend until his recent untimely death. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Devrei Torah are now Available for Download (normally by noon on Fridays) from www.PotomacTorah.org. Thanks to Bill Landau for hosting the Devrei Torah. __________________________________________________________________________________ The Fisher family sponsors the Devrei Torah for Shabbat Emor in loving memory of our Grandmother and Great Grandmother, Bella Fisher, whose 27th yahrtzeit is on Shabbat Emor, 15 Iyar. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Today, Friday, the 29th day of the Omer, 14 Iyar, is Pesach Sheni, the only holy day that Hashem added to the Torah in response to human initiative. Some Jews were tamei (ritually impure) because of contact with a dead body and therefore unable to participate in the korban Pesach on the first anniversary of the Exodus. They complained to Moshe about missing the opportunity to participate in this holy mitzvah because they performed the mitzvah of caring for a deceased Jew. God responded by providing a second opportunity for them to offer the Korban Pesach a month later – Pesach Sheni (Bemidbar 9:6-10). (According to Rashi, God would have added Pesach Sheni anyway but gave the people the merit of having the mitzvah presented through their initiative.) When the Torah presents the Moedim (special days of coming close to Hashem, or holidays) in Emor, Pesach Sheni is missing, because it arose separately and is only a Moed for those who are tamei on Pesach.

On From a Parent Tuesday night, the Yeshiva marked the yartzeit of one of the greatest Chasidic Rebbes, the famed Noam Elimelech Spotlight on Yeshiva: Purim Weekend Zt"l. The Rosh HaYeshiva often refers to his teaching to always look for positive traits in other people. New Rav of the Old City The theme of the night was "Vayakhel Moshe", and Moshe gathered -the greatness of a true tzadik is his ability to love all Jews and bring them together. Here is a video clip of a story Rav Bina told about how the zchut of the Noam Elimelech Z"tl helped Israel win the Six-Day War. Spotlight on Yeshiva: Shabbat at the homes of Alumni in Israel Dear graduates living in Israel, On behalf of Yeshivat Netiv Aryeh and myself, I want to thank all the families who hosted our students last Shabbat Parshat Vayakhel. Getting a sample of the homes of our alumni serves as an inspiration to our students. Although the Yeshiva puts a lot of effort in instilling the love of Torah, love of Eretz Yisrael and love of Am Yisrael in each of our students, the visit in the home of our graduates can make a greater impact on their future as It presents them with a sample of the religious family life, the role of the Jewish wife, as well as a positive impression of life in Israel.

  • Vertientes Del Judaismo #3
    CLASES DE JUDAISMO VERTIENTES DEL JUDAISMO #3 Por: Eliyahu BaYonah Director Shalom Haverim Org New York Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La Ortodoxia moderna comprende un espectro bastante amplio de movimientos, cada extracción toma varias filosofías aunque relacionados distintamente, que en alguna combinación han proporcionado la base para todas las variaciones del movimiento de hoy en día. • En general, la ortodoxia moderna sostiene que la ley judía es normativa y vinculante, y concede al mismo tiempo un valor positivo para la interacción con la sociedad contemporánea. Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • En este punto de vista, el judaísmo ortodoxo puede "ser enriquecido" por su intersección con la modernidad. • Además, "la sociedad moderna crea oportunidades para ser ciudadanos productivos que participan en la obra divina de la transformación del mundo en beneficio de la humanidad". • Al mismo tiempo, con el fin de preservar la integridad de la Halajá, cualquier área de “fuerte inconsistencia y conflicto" entre la Torá y la cultura moderna debe ser evitada. La ortodoxia moderna, además, asigna un papel central al "Pueblo de Israel " Vertientes del Judaismo • LA ORTODOXIA MODERNA • La ortodoxia moderna, como una corriente del judaísmo ortodoxo representado por instituciones como el Consejo Nacional para la Juventud Israel, en Estados Unidos, es pro-sionista y por lo tanto da un estatus nacional, así como religioso, de mucha importancia en el Estado de Israel, y sus afiliados que son, por lo general, sionistas en la orientación. • También practica la implicación con Judíos no ortodoxos que se extiende más allá de "extensión (kiruv)" a las relaciones institucionales y la cooperación continua, visto como Torá Umaddá.

  • The Corona Ushpizin
    אושפיזי קורונה THE CORONA USHPIZIN Rabbi Jonathan Schwartz PsyD Congregation Adath Israel of the JEC Elizabeth/Hillside, NJ סוכות תשפא Corona Ushpizin Rabbi Dr Jonathan Schwartz 12 Tishrei 5781 September 30, 2020 משה תקן להם לישראל שיהו שואלים ודורשים בענינו של יום הלכות פסח בפסח הלכות עצרת בעצרת הלכות חג בחג Dear Friends: The Talmud (Megillah 32b) notes that Moshe Rabbeinu established a learning schedule that included both Halachic and Aggadic lessons for each holiday on the holiday itself. Indeed, it is not only the experience of the ceremonies of the Chag that make them exciting. Rather, when we analyze, consider and discuss why we do what we do when we do it, we become more aware of the purposes of the Mitzvos and the holiday and become closer to Hashem in the process. In the days of old, the public shiurim of Yom Tov were a major part of the celebration. The give and take the part of the day for Hashem, it set a tone – חצי לה' enhanced not only the part of the day identified as the half of the day set aside for celebration in eating and enjoyment of a חצי לכם for the other half, the different nature. Meals could be enjoyed where conversation would surround “what the Rabbi spoke about” and expansion on those ideas would be shared and discussed with everyone present, each at his or her own level. Unfortunately, with the difficulties presented by the current COVID-19 pandemic, many might not be able to make it to Shul, many Rabbis might not be able to present the same Derashos and Shiurim to all the different minyanim under their auspices.
