WEEKLY BRIEF Shabbat At Home Av 3 - 4 5780/July 24th-25th, Shabbat Chazon Parshat Devarim Guidelines Parshat Devarim Chazon A Message From Rabbi Adler 4 Av 5780 Chaveireinu Hayikarim, I hope you and family are well as we approach the July 24-25, 2020 5th month of our lives being dictated by a virus. The Mishneh at the beginning of the second perek of Friday Masechet Berachot teaches us that if someone walks Mincha/Maariv* - 7:00 pm into shul late and you are in the midst of Kriat (please note no Zoom Kabbalat Shab- Shema, you are permitted to respond to that person bat) who said Gut Shabbos or Shabbat Shalom to you. The Candle Lighting* - 7:15 pm Rav said in the name of the Chafetz Chaim that not (recommended if davening early) only are you permitted to respond but you are Candle Lighting - before 8:01 pm obligated to do so. If you do not respond, you is not קבלת עול מלכות שמים , demonstrate that my acceptance of the yoke of heaven Shabbat very serious. Shacharit* – 7, 8:30 or 9 am Where do we derive this from? That man is to ignore HKBH for a few minutes while you Sof Zman Kriat Shma – 9:24 am respond to another human being? The Gemara in Masechet Shabbat (from the daf yomi, two is not recited weeks ago) suggests that we learn it from Avraham, where the Torah describes a visit from G בריך שמיה • is -D after Avraham’s Brit Milah. Yet when Avraham noticed that he had visitors, he excusedיקום פורקן Only the first paragraph of• recited himself and tended to his guests. Apparently, that was what Avraham was supposed to do is recited and hence we are to do the same when reciting the Shema and being interrupted by anotherאב הרחמים • member of the shul. You respond to the person. Immediately thereafter, as G-D is preparing Kriat HaTorah: ושמרו דרך ה׳ the destruction of Sedom, He shares that information with Avraham because Parshat Devraim— Devarim 11:1-3:22 . becomes the motto of Avraham לעשות צדקה ומשפט Haftara Chazon – Yishayahu 1:1- 1:27 We always read this parsha on Shabbat prior to Tisha B’Av and the haftarah concludes with We all hope to כבוד הבריות . which means we have to focus on צדקה ומשפט words Mincha* – 7:45 pm return to our Beit Knesset soon. We all agree that something must change as a result of the Maariv* – 8:50 pm Corona virus. Let us focus on Kavod Habriyot. When issues arise, recognize that there might Havdala – 9:01 pm be validity in someone else’s opinion other than yours. If upon arriving at shul you notice that your seat is occupied, do not ask that person to change his/her seat. If you are catching *suggested timing for Rinat Kehilla up, do not stand to recite Shmoneh Esrai when someone is speaking whereby you will be blocking the vision of the person seated behind you. If we all take Kavod for others seriously, we will be the beneficiary of the conclusion of this week’s haftarah. ציון במשפט תפדה ושביה בצדקה GABBAI NOTE This Wednesday evening, the start of Rabbi Yosef Adler Tisha B’Av, Rinat will offer a communal kriah of Megillat Eicha via Zoom.

We were able to say the Tefillah of Magen Avot at night together, and enjoyed a fast but meaningful tefillah. After Musaf, it was exciting to see happy kids (masked) with their parents (also masked) coming to groups with their excited group leaders (likewise masked). Groups were held outside, in any shaded location they could find. The kids davened together, learned Parsha together, as an added treat, Rabbi Wiener came to deliver a Dvar Torah, all while maintaining social distancing. In the afternoon the kids, together with their parents, visited Sheryl and Rabbi Yosef Adler, and had an ice pop and lollipop snack. It was so nice to see so many Rinat members and their families joining in. This coming Sunday we have two exciting programs brought to us by Adult Ed. In the morning at 9:30 Rachel Weber Leshaw will give a shuir titled "What is Legitimate Protest? A closer look at Kamtza and Bar Kamtza," and at 8:00 pm Elana Kaplan will give a class on "Night at the Met: a Journey through Jewish History and Ancient Egypt". At 10:00am Rabbi Wiener will be holding his virtual children's Mishna shiur, zoom details are on the website. From 5:00-8:00pm we will be collecting Shaimos. Please come with your Shaimos in bags and the pick up will be in the parking lot. Our regular weekday shiurim and ulpan classes are on schedule Monday and Tuesday and I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday for the weekly "Sandwich and Shmooze". A sandwich is not required, and gluten-free alternatives are acceptable.

    Willig Lanner Chronology

    Rabbi Mordechai Willig And OU-NCSY’s Rabbi Baruch Lanner Coverup: A Chronology Compiled by Shmarya Rosenberg, http://www.failedmessiah.com/ 1. Beit din convened in 1989 to hear charges that Rabbi Baruch Lanner, a leader of the Orthodox Union's (OU) National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY), was emotionally, physically and sexually abusing children. (The OU is the parent body of the RCA.) 2. Rabbi Willig excoriates Lanner victims and their families at the beit din before evidence has been heard in a clear attempt to stifle their testimony. 3. The beit din finds Lanner guilty of abuse in a 2 to 1 vote. 4. The beit din does not call police. 5. The beit din allows Lanner and his supporters to publicly claim he has been cleared of all charges by the beit din. 6. Lanner continues to abuse women and children while remaining in the employ of the OU and of Hillel Academy. 7. No steps are taken by the beit din to end Lanner's emplyment by these organizations or to limit – or even to supervise – his contact with children. 8. June 23, 2000 - The New York Jewish Week publishes an investigative piece exposing almost thirty years of Lanner's abuse. 9. June 27, 2000 - Lanner resigns from the OU. 10. Dec. 26, 2000 - The OU releases a report accusing Lanner of sexually abusing girls and women and of physically abusing boys and girls. The report concludes employees of the OU and NCSY did not properly respond to "red flags" raised in the almost thirty years Lanner abused.

    Guidance for Shuls and Communities

    Guidance for Shuls and Communities We recognize the great need for practical guidance for shuls and communities with regard to the continuing situation surrounding COVID-19. With the guidance of our we ,שליט״א and HaRav Mordechai Willigשליט״א Poskim, HaRav Hershel Schachter share the guidelines below. Please keep in mind that the situation is evolving at a rapid pace and these guidelines have been drafted with the information and recommendations that we have as of now. As always, shuls and communities must strictly follow the guidelines provided by local and national authorities, including the CDC and local health departments. Due to the unique social patterns of many of our communities, where we share daily Tefillah and Shiurim, children’s schools and frequent festive events, we may be exceptionally prone to communal transmission. As such it may be appropriate for us to adopt an even stricter standard than the authorities require. The medical advice we have received and wish to share is as follows: • In communities where there are confirmed cases, it would be prudent to severely limit all public gatherings, and to close shuls. • In communities where there are not as yet confirmed cases, significant restrictions should be placed on how shuls gather. In addition to the known restrictions on attendance for people displaying symptoms of any kind, as well as individuals considered at greater risk, shuls should hold multiple minyanim to avoid large crowds and ensure significant spacing between individuals. The above guidance is the minimal standard. The communal rabbi and leadership may assess the situation and wish to exercise greater caution and close the shuls.
