Shabbat Ha'azinu SHABBAT BULLETIN Parashat Ha'azinu 21/22 September 2018 • 13 Tishrei 5778 A Seal upon your Heart MAZAL TOV Ryan Folden on his A few years ago I was fortunate to learn a beautiful teaching with Bar Mitzvah Rabbi Miles Krassen. This teaching, from Avraham Weinberg, the last (Main Sanctuary) Slonimer Rebbe, focuses on the period beginning with Rosh Hodesh Elul and concluding with Shemini Atzeret. CANDLE LIGHTING Friday 5:32pm We tend to think of each festival in our calendar as separate entities Saturday 6:28pm with their own set of customs, prayers and rituals. The Slonimer has reframed the High Holiday period. He wants us to understand this TORAH (page 1185) period as a journey, a pilgrimage of the heart and a period of ego Deuteronomy 32:1 - refinement. 32:52 Through the month of Elul to the end of Shemini Atzeret we engage HAFTARAH in teshuvah. By asking for forgiveness from those we have hurt and (page 1296) offended we move from a place of constriction to open-hearted II Samuel 22:1 - 22:51 embodiment of a love that is divine at its source. On Yom Kippur we do SHABBAT SERVICES this through tefilah, (prayer) and fasting. During Sukkot and Shemini Erev Shabbat Atzeret we strive to achieve this through joy, dance and celebration. • 6:15pm - The Slonimer Rebbe develops this idea further by stating that there are Masorti Service two types of festivals. One which embodies “a seal upon your arm,” and (Neuweg) the other, “a seal upon your heart.” (Song of Songs 8:6). • 6:15pm - Shabbat Live During Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot we are involved in fulfilling (New Sanctuary) practical mitzvot by eating matzah, blowing the shofar and building a Shabbat Morning succah. These three festivals represent, “seal upon your arm.” • 9:00am - Shavuot, Yom Kippur and Shemini Atzeret do not have any practical Masorti service mitzvot connected to them. They represent a “seal upon your heart, as (New Sanctuary) love is as strong/fierce as death.” • 10:00am - Furthermore during Shemini Atzeret/ Simchat Torah we finish reading Progressive service the Torah and begin the cycle again. The last letter of the Torah is (Neuweg) lamed (Yisrael) and the first letter of the Torah is beth (bereishit)- lev (heart). As we link the end of the cycle to the beginning we set the Renewal Sukkot Torah as a seal upon our hearts and our levavot (hearts) are transformed. Celebration: Music and More - The process that begins during the month of Elul and that concludes Friday with Shemini Atzeret is a time of deepening love. We have opened September 28 from our hearts, “seal upon your hearts,” to the real possibility of authentic 6:15pm (Neuweg) relationship with the mekor hachayim (the source of all life) and all of creation. This relationship allows the divine presence (shechinah) to find Renewal Shabbat a dwelling place in our world. Each and everyone of us, pilgrims, as we Meditations journey together from Rosh Hodesh Elul to Shemini Atzeret open up 9am-10am - Shabbat the possibility for a real spiritual paradigm shift in our lives and in the Mornings in October world.

  • Parashat Korach 5773 June 8, 2013
    Parashat Korach 5773 June 8, 2013 This week’s Dvar Tzedek takes the form of an interactive text study. We hope that you’ll use this text study to actively engage with the parashah and contemporary global justice issues. Consider using this text study in any of the following ways: • Learn collectively. Discuss it with friends, family or colleagues. Discuss it at your Shabbat table. • Enrich your own learning. Read it as you would a regular Dvar Tzedek and reflect on the questions it raises. • Teach. Use the ideas and reactions it sparks in you as the basis for your own dvar Torah. Please take two minutes to share your thoughts on this piece by completing this feedback form . Introduction Parashat Korach opens with a scene of intense political drama in which a coalition of disgruntled Israelites challenges Moses and Aaron’s leadership. An analysis of this rebellion and the motivations of its leaders provides an opportunity to explore questions of politics, power and leadership—our associations with them, why they are important and how we might be able to utilize them to achieve the justice that we seek for our communities and the world. The Torah describes the opening of the showdown between Korach’s coalition and Moses and Aaron, as follows: במדבר טז:א ד, ח יא Numbers 16:1 ---4, 8 ---111111 ַוִ ַ ח ֹקַרח, ֶ ִיְצָהר ֶ ְקָהת ֶ ֵלִוי; ְוָדָת Now Korach, son of Izhar son of Kohat son of Levi, took, along ַוֲאִביָר ְֵני ֱאִליב, ְואֹו ֶ !ֶ לֶת ְ נֵי —with Datan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Pelet ְרא%ֵב.

    Definition of Leadership "Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy.“ - U.S. Army General H. Norman Schwarzkopf • God has chosen YOU to lead others • Your family needs YOU to be a spiritual leader • Your neighbors need YOU to be a spiritual leader • This church family needs YOU to be a spiritual leader Source: www.theamericanenterprise.org/taeja00c.htm Today… Can you trust God even in the pain? Then Moses said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.” But he said, “Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will.” Exodus 4:10-13 But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.” (Exodus 4:13 NIV) But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” (Exodus 4:13 ESV) Are you ready to go when God calls? Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said, “Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

  • Power Struggle!
    POWER STRUGGLE! (Scripture. Numbers 16:1-3) Numbers 16:1-3. 1Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, 2and they stood before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, 250 leaders of the congregation chosen in the assembly, men of renown. 3They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, You have gone far enough! For all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?” Introduction: This story is a warning for all of us. Don’t try to pull down the leader whom God has appointed. People should not support a rebel leader blindly. If they do, they will be punished along with the rebel leader also. Sometimes, we create unnecessary problems in God’s kingdom. Let us learn from this story, and avoid this kind of power struggle. Numbers 16:1-3. 1Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, 2and they stood before Moses, [a]together with some of the sons of Israel, 250 leaders of the congregation chosen in the assembly, men of renown. 3They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, You have gone far enough!

  • Torah Portion Summary
    PARASHAT BERESHEIT - BIRKAT HAHODESH October 6, 2007 – 24 Tishrei 5768 Annual: Genesis 1:1 – 6:8 (Etz Hayim, p. 3; Hertz p. 2) Triennial Cycle: Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 (Etz Hayim, p. 3; Hertz p. 2) Haftarah: Isaiah 42:5 – 43:10 (Etz Hayim, p. 36; Hertz p. 21) Prepared by Rabbi Joyce Newmark Teaneck, New Jersey Torah Portion Summary The Torah begins with God’s creation of the world – light, heaven and earth, the oceans and dry land, the heavenly bodies, plants, animals, and finally the first human beings – in six days. God then blesses the seventh day, Shabbat, the day of rest. The human beings are placed in the Garden of Eden “to till it and tend it,” but when Adam and Eve disobey God’s commandment and eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil they are expelled from the Garden. Eve gives birth to two sons. When they are grown Cain, the elder, kills his brother, Abel, and is punished by God. Adam and Eve have a third son, Seth, and the Torah relates the 10 generations from Adam to Noah. The parasha concludes with God’s sorrow over human wickedness. 1. Does "Torah" Mean "Law"? When God began to create heaven and earth – the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water – God said “let there be light,” and there was light. (Bereisheit 1:1-3) A. Rabbi Yitzhak said: It was only necessary to begin the Torah with “This month shall mark for you...” (Shemot 12:2), for this is the first mitzvah about which Israel was commanded.

  • The Levitical Priesthood
    The Levitical Priesthood L. Michael Morales L. Michael Morales is Professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, serves as a teaching elder in the PCA, and is a husband, and father of four boys. He earned his PhD under Gordon J. Wenham at Trinity College, Bristol UK, and has authored several books, including The Tabernacle Pre-Figured: Cosmic Mountain Ideology in Genesis and Exodus (Peeters, 2012), Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord? A Biblical Theology of Leviticus (IVP Academic, 2015), and Exodus Old and New: A Biblical Theology of Redemption (IVP Academic, forthcoming). Thankfully, the complex subject of the Levitical priesthood in ancient Israel has been cultivated by helpful studies related to its history and development, as well as to the social place and basic tasks of Levitical priests, in terms of serving at Yahweh’s house and guarding its sacred space, mediating Israel’s access in the divine service, and teaching divine torah.1 Rather than rehearsing such studies, the present essay attempts instead to offer a modest sketch of the theology of Israel’s priesthood. Serving as something of a typology of the priesthood, and one that resonates with the temple ideologies of other ancient cultures, we will examine the fundamental analogy between cult and cosmos. Before doing so, however, we will begin with the origin of the Levitical priesthood, which may then serve to inform the theology of both the Levitical priesthood’s basis and its eventual obsolescence. That Aaron, Moses’ elder brother, was chosen by God to serve as high priest, his house to carry on the priestly lineage of Israel, is asserted in the book of Exodus (24:1, 9; 28:1-3; 29:1-37; 32:1-6; etc.), and then confirmed magnificently in the stories and legislation found in Numbers 16-18, which center upon Aaron’s budding staff.2 However, Yahweh’s choice of Aaron’s house is simply assumed, and not explained.

  • This Week's Parasha, Korach, Is at Its Face, a Story of a Failed Rebellion
    This week’s parasha, Korach, is at its face, a story of a failed rebellion against the leadership of Moshe and Aharon. It opens, at the beginning of Chapter 16 of Numbers, “Now Korah, son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, betook himself, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—descendants of Reuben— (2) to rise up against Moses, together with two hundred and fifty Israelites, chieftains of the community, chosen in the assembly, men of repute. (3) They combined against Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! For all the community are holy, all of them, and Hashem is in their midst. Why then do you raise yourselves above Hashem’s congregation?” An escalation of accusation ensues, and by the time dust settles, the ground has swallowed up Korach and his followers, a plague has killed almost 15,000 others, and the people are terrified. Now, from a scholarly historical perspective, someone pointed out in Torah study yesterday, Torah was written by human beings with human agendas, and the humans who compiled this text might have been offering a cautionary fable intending to warn the masses away from challenging authority figures. There is certainly a strand in contemporary Torah study of lionizing the rebel Korach in his righteous indignation. And I respect that. But it’s not very interesting to me, because I prefer to look at Torah as a challenge of meaning making, like in improvisational theater exercises that demands that we say, “yes, and!” If we accept the premise that Torah, as written, is divinely inspired and there is something valuable to be learned even from this uncomfortable story, then where would that take us? First of us, for me, I do not accept that this story is simply warning us away from challenging authority.
