The CB WELCOME BACK SUMMER RESIDENTS! Summer 2015 a Very Special Bat Mitvah for Nine Lovely Ladies The CB WELCOME BACK SUMMER RESIDENTS! Summer 2015 A Very Special Bat Mitvah for Nine Lovely Ladies https://instagram.com/brothersofisrael/ In the fall of 2014, Madeline Forman conceived the idea of giving women who had not had the opportunity to have a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 12, the chance to do so. Ten women were eager to participate in this project. Unfortunately, due to the passing of Ruth Lapidus, our number was reduced to 9. After months of studying with Rabbi Braun, the Torah portions that each of us would have presented as a child, we wrote summaries of our portion and what it meant to us. It was a wonderful experience of camaraderie and getting to know each other better as we Congregation Brothers of Israel - Long Branch, NJ learned together. All our efforts culminated on May 3, 2015, when 9 of us gathered at Congregation Brothers of Israel to finally celebrate our Bat Mitzvahs and share what we had learned with approximately 120 guests. Following the ceremony, we all entered a beautifully decorated social hall and feasted on a delicious lunch. Thanks to Madeline Forman for all her efforts in making all of this possible. https://twitter.com/cbi_longbranch Of course we want to thank Rabbi Braun who not only met with us every week to teach us about our Torah portion but also made it a fun time. Also thanks to Shari Epstein for the beautiful invitation and certificates that she created. In addition, we thank Kim Inside this issue: Mejer for taking our pictures and Monty Fisher for filming videos so that we can look back and recall this wonderful and meaningful day.

Today at CBI it is indeed a happy, happy day. No snow is falling; no black ice to slip on; and no cold, biting wind to bluster through. The sun is shining; our snowbirds are back; our summer people are here; and our Park Avenue daveners no longer arrive with hats, mufflers, gloves and three layers of sweaters. The sun is finally shining! Summer is finally here! And to paraphrase that children's book: “Good morning happy, happy CBI” We are happy because we have an entire summer's worth of events at CBI culminating in a celebration of Rabbi Braun and Tamar's Tenth Anniversary as our Rabbi and Rebbitzen. To kick off our summer happenings, all members of the CBI community are invited to the Second Annual Shavuot Siyum/festive light luncheon immediately following services on the second day of Shavuot (Monday, Memorial Day.) The Siyum celebrates our achievement of independently learning all of Tehilim and Chronicles I and Chronicles II. A kumzitz on Saturday night, May 30th will inaugurate the summer festivities for those arriving after Memorial Day. Cipora Winters will share her expertise and knowledge on divorce and getting a Get on June 13 th at Seudah Shilishit, as the Mevarchim Ha’Chodesh (bless the new month) Speaker.

This is an event everyone will want to attend. We are excited to share CBI's SUNNY, HAPPY SUMMER DAYS with all of our friends and fellow congregants. A Message from Rabbi Nasanayl Braun July 4th and the Mussafim of the Parsha Adapted from Rabbi Braun’s Sermon on Parshat Pinchas in 5770 Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest of places. Partial inspiration for today’s sermon comes from a speech given on July 5 th 1852 in Rocheseter by Frederick Douglass. Douglass was an escaped slave who wrote and spoke about the evils of slavery in an attempt to help people understand the need to abolish this cruel treatment of their fellow human beings. Before I get to his words and how they helped, let me set up the problem for you. Parshat Pinchas seems very geared to capturing and settling the land of Israel. After dealing with the Midyanim, we have a military census- a list of those who are going to fight the war of conquest. We are then told that these people will inherit the land via lottery and God explains that the tribe of Levi is different and does not get land. The story of the daughters of Tzelofchad fits right into the theme; these brave young women exemplify for us the love of Eretz Yisrael and the desire to have a portion in the land. Moshe then, with pomp and ceremony, appoints Joshua as the leader who will take them into the land of Israel. God then throws us for a loop. The Torah proceeds to list all of the Mussaf sacrifices, the additional sacrifices, which were to be offered on Shabbat and the holidays. Ostensibly this has nothing to do with entering the land. If anything we would have thought to include it in the book of Vayikra with all of the other sacrifices. One has to wonder, what in the world is it doing here? As with all of the paragraphs in the Torah that seem to be out of place we need to understand the content in order to understand the context. We need to understand the nature of the holidays and the lessons that the Mussaf offerings teach us in order to begin to understand why they are placed here.

  • The Four Special Shabbatot: Shekalim, Zakhor, Parah, and Hahodesh
    The four special Shabbatot: Shekalim, Zakhor, Parah, and HaHodesh As Purim and Passover approach four special Torah and Haftarah readings are added to the weekly lectionary of the Torah. They are called the Arba Parshiyot (four Torah portions). The first of these Shabbatot is Shabbat Shekalim which is read on the Shabbat prior to or on Rosh Hodesh Adar or in a leap year Rosh Hodesh Adar Sheni (Second Adar). The reading is of the census in the Wilderness of Sinai conducted by Moses by means of each Israeli giving a half- Shekel and the counting the Shekalim. ((Shemot 30:11-16). In later times the Shekalim were used for the purchase of the communal sacrifice offered morning and evening. The second Shabbat is Zakhor (Deuteronomy 25:17-19) it is read on the Shabbat preceding the holiday of Purim: 17) Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way as you came out of Egypt. 18) How he met you by the way, and killed your stragglers, all that were weak in your rear, when you were faint and weary: and he did not fear God. 19) Therefore it shall be, when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies around, in the land which the Lord your god dives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget. The tie-in to Purim is that in the Haftarah First Samuel 15:2-34 King Saul makes war on the Amalekites and captures their King Agag.
