Fast of Tammuz June 25, 2021 בלק PARSHAS Balak Sunday July 27th Torah - Stone Chumash: Pg. 856 15 Tammuz 5781 Haftorah - Stone Chumash Pg. 1189
From The Rabbi’s Desk Rabbi Yisroel Edelman
In this week’s Parsha we find one of the most unusual and comical incidents – a talking donkey! The gentile prophet Bilam is hired by King Balak of Moav to curse Bnai Yisrael. Bilam travels on his donkey to Moav and on the way the donkey smashes Bilam’s foot as a sign of his folly. But why the foot and not any other body part? Perhaps the reason is based on the teaching of Falsehood has no feet” which means that lies“שקר אין לה רגלים - Chazal cannot stand up for long because truth will ultimately prevail. Bilam personified falsehood. His arrogant attitude, lust for money and honor blinded him into thinking he could even fool Hashem. But it was all שקר- - based on falsehood and falsehood cannot stand. This is illustrated with the letters of the word “falsehood” whose letters cannot stand on their own, because they are grounded by only one point and whose letters are firmly groundedאמת – ”quickly topple over. This is in stark contrast to the word for “truth by two points! In the end Bilam was the conduit to pronounce eternal blessings upon Bnai Yisrael. May we always stand firmly with truth and be the recipients of Hashem’s bountiful blessings.

1 Update in YIDB Policies Regarding COVID
As, Boruch Hashem, more and more of our members and the public continue to be vaccinated, we have been able to relax additional COVID-19 preventative measures at YIDB. Fully vaccinated people are defined as being at least two weeks after receiving the final vaccine dose required. Fully vaccinated immunocompromised members should consult their physicians to make certain they can participate in the currently approved activities.
Our guidelines are: Attendees who are fully vaccinated, whether members or guests, no longer need to wear masks in the Shul. However, guests must have vaccination cards and photo IDs with them to be seated in the main section of the Shul. 1. Fully vaccinated Rabbonim and/or lay speakers will be giving shiurim without masks at reasonable distances from their audience. 2. Balei Tefila and Balei Korei no longer are required to be masked. However, if someone receives an Aliyah and wants the Bal Korei to wear a mask during that Aliyah, they will accommodate. 3. Aliyahs will continue to be given only to those fully vaccinated. 4. Those men not vaccinated, whether members or guests, will continue to be required to sit in rear, small social hall section. A similar separate section is made available for non-vaccinated women attendees. In both cases, such attendees must be fully masked. 5. All guests who are not vaccinated, must pre-register for attendance. The guests must contact Steven Schoenfeld directly, by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (917) 741-0299, no later than 48 hours prior to date of attendance. 6. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted in Shul at this time. We thank you, as always, for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to implementing additional steps toward normalcy as they are deemed prudent for our congregation.
