  • Parshat Balak Weekly Dvar Torah What Do You See?
    Parshat Balak 17 Tammuz 5775 /June 30, 2018 Daf Yomi: Zevachim 78; Nach Yomi: Isaiah 38 Weekly Dvar Torah A project of the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG ISRAEL SPONSORED BY THE HENRY, BERTHA AND EDWARD ROTHMAN FOUNDATION ROCHESTER, NY,CLEVELAND, OHIO, CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO What Do You See? Rabbi Yisroel Brotsky Associate Member, Young Israel Council of Rabbis Our perceptions mold the world in which we live. But as the saying goes: “two Jews in the room and you will have three different opinions.” I was learning in the Beit Midrash, when all of a sudden a man wearing tefillin and a gun in his shoulder holster came storming in! That’s right, a gun! I was petrified, thinking: around these parts it was highly unusual to see a man sporting a gun, and he seemed a bit impetuous. I tried to keep my cool and pretend I didn’t notice anything unusual. Apparently, I wasn’t as discreet as I thought I was. He asked me, “What are you looking at?” I hesitated in fear, and he continued, “Oh you are probably looking at my tefillin. They are a Sephardic pair for a lefty and I had to turn it around. You probably never saw that before!” I immediately responded, “eh, exactly! That is exactly what I noticed, it is so interesting.” Perception is everything − two people and two very different perceptions. Perhaps the tefillin should have piqued my interest more than the gun. Parshat Balak is all about vision and perception. We begin with “Vayar Balak” (and Balak saw).

  • D'var Torah, July 3, 2020 Susan Cantor This Week We Have a Double
    1 D’var Torah, July 3, 2020 Susan Cantor This week we have a double Torah portion – Chukat and Balak (Numbers, 19:1 – 25:9). These portions include many events including the following: 1. The purification of a person who has had contact with the dead. 2. The deaths of Miriam and Aaron. 3. The refusal of the King of Edom to let the children of Israel pass through his lands. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, who was the twin brother of Jacob. So, there might have been some residual sibling rivalry going on. 4. This portion also references the victories in battle against the Amorites and the people of Bashan after the Israelites were punished for complaining about the lack of bread and water. 5. And then there is the story of the non-Israelite Prophet Balaam and his talking donkey. The donkey was questioning his mistreatment by Baalam who was hired by Balak, the King of Moab, to curse the Israelites. Instead, Balaam blesses the Israelites and prophesies about the defeat of the Israelites’ enemies. 6. Lastly, the Balak parsha talks about the plague put upon the Israelites for consorting with Moabite women and their gods. Pinchas, the grandson of Aaron, kills an Israelite man and his Midianite woman, thus, ending the plague. That’s a quick summary of Chukat and Balak. This evening I wish to focus on Parshat Chukat and mainly on the role of Miriam. 2 The Israelites were close to the end of their journey in a place called Zin. At this point in time, the Israelites found themselves in a tough spot.

They had arrived at the promised land decades earlier, but the people had rebelled—refusing to trust God to give them the land. They believed it would be better to die in the wilderness than follow God (Num. 14:2), so God sent them into the wilderness for 40 years (vv. 28-29). In time, all of the adults died except for Joshua, Caleb, and Moses. The children grew up and more children were born. The Israelites disobeyed God time and again, but God still provided for them. He planned to keep His promise to give Israel the promised land.

  • Bais Havaad on the Parsha, Parshas Eikev,Bais Havaad on the Parsha
    Bais HaVaad on the Parsha, Parshas Ha’azinu Good Condition Excerpted and adapted from a shiur by Dayan Yehoshua Grunwald September 17, 2021 https://baishavaad.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/DEV81_010_Haazinu_Legal_Owner _Giving_and_Owning_Your_Daled_Minim.mp3 On the first two days of Sukkos, one must own the arba’ah minim in order to fulfill the mitzvah of taking them. Those who do not own their own arba’ah minim generally use someone else’s set via matanah al menas lehachzir (giving a gift on the condition that it is returned afterward). But it is not clear whether tenai kaful (a double condition, i.e., where both the “if” and “if not” possibilities are expressed), which is necessary for conditions in other areas of halacha, is required here. According to the Smag, one must make a tenai kaful when giving a matanah al menas lehachzir for arba’ah minim. The Mordechai disagrees and notes that Rishonim debate whether a tenai kaful is necessary for conditions outside of gittin and kidushin (such as for mamonos). The Mordechai states that the halacha follows the Rashbam that it is unnecessary for mamonos. The Bais Yosef (O.C. 658) cites this machlokes and rules that we follow the Mordechai with regard to arba’ah minim. Although the Bais Yosef elsewhere (E.H. 38) cites both opinions and does not rule definitively like the Rashbam, the case of esrog may be more lenient for a number of reasons. These include the fact that perhaps there is a clear umdena that one wants the tenai to be valid even without the tenai kaful (Tosafos Kidushin 6b); tenai kaful may be unnecessary for metaltelin (Nesivos Hamishpat C.M.

  • Bar Mitzvah Booklet for Sacha.N
    Bar Mitzvah of Sacha Ninburg Akiva Sasson ben Michael v’Lily June 19, 2021 9 Tamuz 5781 Parashat Chukat Dear friends, We are so delighted that you will be able to celebrate with us as Sacha becomes a Bar Mitzvah. Although we cannot be together physically, we are grateful that modern technology allows us to be together in spirit, as Sacha becomes a Bar Mitzvah—a son of the mitzvot (commandments, or sacred obligations). Thank you for being a part of our circle of family, friends, and community. When Sacha becomes a Bar Mitzvah, he is considered an adult in the Jewish community, and therefore is responsible for his actions and beliefs. As an adult, he takes on the responsibility of fulfilling the moral and ethical commandments of Judaism. Following are a few things about our service that might be helpful: Jewish Ritual Items During the service, many people wear a prayer shawl. The fringes on the tallit remind us of the mitzvot (commandments or sacred obligations) in Judaism. Today Sacha will wear a tallit for the first time. We will present it to him. Many people may also wear a kippah or yarmulke (Hebrew or Yiddish for head covering). It is a sign of humility - reminding us that there is Something Greater (in other words, God) than humans. Because we will not be together physically, we will share on the screen prayers from our Siddur, or prayer book. The Shabbat (Sabbath) morning service begins with opening blessings appreciating the gift of life, followed by Barechu, the call to worship, Yotzer Or, a blessing thanking God for the act of creation and then the Shema, Judaism’s central prayer affirming our faith in one God.

  • The Torah: a Women's Commentary
    STUDY GUIDE The Torah: A Women’s Commentary Parashat Balak NUMBERS 22:2-25:9 Study Guide written by Rabbi Stephanie Bernstein Dr. Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Dr. Lisa D. Grant, and Rabbi Andrea L. Weiss, Ph.D., editors Rabbi Hara E. Person, series editor Parashat Balak Study Guide Themes Theme 1: The Seer Balaam—Have Vision Will Travel Theme 2: It’s a Slippery Slope—the Dangers of Foreign Women INTRODUCTION n Parashat Balak the Israelites are camped on the plains of Moab, ready Ito enter Canaan. In the midst of their final preparations to enter the land God promised to their ancestors, yet another obstacle emerges. Balak, king of Moab, grows concerned about the fierce reputation of the Israelites, which he observed in the Israelites’ encounter with the Amorites (Numbers 21:21–32). Balak’s subjects worry that the Israelites, due to their large numbers, will devour the resources of Moab. In response, Balak hires a well-known seer named Balaam to curse the Israelites, thus reflecting the widely held belief in the ancient world that putting a curse on someone was an effective means of subduing an enemy. The standoff between the powers of the God of Israel and those of a foreign seer proves to be no contest. Even Balaam’s talking female donkey, who represents the biblical ideal of wisdom, recognizes the efficacy of God’s power—unlike her human master, the professional seer. Although hired to curse the Israelites, Balaam ends up blessing them instead. In a series of four oracles, Balaam ultimately does the opposite of what Balak desires and establishes that the power of Israel’s God is greater than even the most skilled human seers.

  • Chukat HOW to USE THIS GUIDE Chukat
    igniting your shabbat services Chukat HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Chukat Hello and welcome to Spark! Spark is aimed at facilitating the smooth running of Toddlers’ Services, Children’s Services and Youth Services across United Synagogue communities. Firstly, thank you for offering to run a Children’s Service in your local shul. The US is very proud of the numerous Children’s services that are run every week across the UK. We would not be able to do this without you! Spark has been designed in order to help you run your Children’s Services. Obviously, every Children’s Service is different, in terms of how many children there are; what their age range is; its length; and how knowledgeable the children are likely to be of this week’s parasha. Ideally, where possible, a Children’s Service should consist of some time used to discuss the weekly parasha and some time devoted to davening. Spark gives you an overview of the weekly parasha, a song, activity, discussion or Dvar Torah linked to the parasha or any important event that week. It is separated into sections for different age groups but often you will find that an activity in one section will be suitable for children in another section. So, please take the time to read through it all – I know you are busy people but it will help you and ultimately the children. Please also try to read Spark during the week as sometimes some props will be needed. It will give you a chance to find them. It is important to note that Spark should help you to run Children’s Services, but it does not completely run it for you.
