Shabbat Times Striving for Simplicity A Message from Rabbi Weinberger 7:05, 7:35 Candle Lighting In this week’s Sedrah Moshe Rabeinu delivers, & 7:36 pm what appears to be a simple message to Bnei Plag Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat 6:15 pm Yisrael: You shall be Minyan - BM with Hashem your G-d. What exactly Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat – 6:45 pm NM & Ogden Tent does mean? One of the major Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat–OM 7:15 pm contemporary commentaries (Google Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat–NM 7:40 pm Translate) offers no less than twelve Sephardic Mincha & interpretations of the word . Interestingly 7:00 pm Kabbalat Shabbat enough, ArtScroll’s translation-“wholehearted”- is not even one of the Latest Shema 9:31 am twelve. So that makes thirteen. Turns out the simple message is not Hashkama–NM & Ogden Tent 7:00 am so simple after all- unless you go with the translation of “simple”, in Ashkenaz–Ogden Tent 8:30 am which case that’s exactly what it is. Bottom line, what exactly are we being instructed here? Sefard–Beis Medrash 8:30 am uses the word “ ”, as in perfect. The Ramban gives the Ashkenaz–New Main 9:00 am Sephardic Shacharit 9:00 am example of a -a perfect lamb, free of any blemishes- offered Ashkenaz-Old Main 9:15 am on the And while no one is expected to be perfect, the message Youth Groups for incoming grades K-4 here is that our commitment to the should be perfect or 9:15 am – end of 9:00 am New Main Minyan complete. Drop off in Youth Classrooms, pick up in the W. E. Tent goes in a different direction. He suggests that we’re being Mommy & Me led by Morah 10:00 am instructed . We should not worry about what Chaya Glaser (W.E. Tent) Daf Yomi following the 7:00 am Shacharit in the W. E. Tent the future will bring. Don’t turn to fortune tellers or other forms of Minchas Chinuch–George Silfen 10:30 am necromancy to try to predict (or possibly change) the future. Rather, after Sefard minyan we should be at peace with the fact that we are under the watchful eye Mincha-New Main 1:45 pm of Hashem, and whatever happens is for the best. Manny Freed z”l Parent Child As I alluded to above, we are all familiar with another meaning of 4:45 pm Learning –Ogden Tent from the in the Haggadah. While most of the divrei Mincha-New Main 5:30 pm tend to revolve around the and , the third son at the Sephardic Mincha 7:15 pm table is the . In the illustrated Haggadas he’s usually depicted as a Mincha-NM & Ogden Tent 7:35 pm sweet, innocent boy. A simpleton. Yet, with all due respect to the Rabbi Schrier’s shiur following Mincha in the New Main- various Haggadah artists, the original was anything but. A Divine Inheritance: To the best of my knowledge, there are only two people about The Cities of Shevet Levi & Their Relevance to Am Yisrael whom the Torah goes out of its way to provide any sort of descriptive Maariv & Shabbat Ends- 8:40 pm New Main & Ogden Tent accolades: Moshe Rabeinu was described as an and Yaakov Avinu 7:05 & as an Next Shabbat Candle Lighting 7:26 pm Of all things to call him, the Torah refers to Yaakov as an . Mincha & Kabbalat Shabbat 6:10, 6:45, Here we are finally given a description of someone, a rare event, and & 7:30 pm we’re left scratching our heads as to what it means. Was Yaakov Avinu perfect? He was not. He married two sisters; favored one son over the others, etc. Is the Torah telling us that he was a simpleton? This week’s bulletin is sponsored by Was Yaakov the at the Seder? That doesn’t sound like a Gilla & Yitz Stern commemorating the compliment, nor does it seem to be true. Yaakov was a tremendous Yahrzeit (6 Elul) of Yitz's mother, Talmid Chacham who learned for 14 years in . Immediately following that, he went head-to- head with his cunning father-in-law,

Zlata bat R' Yitzchok a”h. Lavan. Over the span of two decades, he managed to marry both of Lavan’s daughters and acquire his entire wealth. Not bad for a simpleton.

• This week’s parsha is all about #Leadership. We are taught to appoint judges and police officers in each of our cities, in order to maintain #LawAndOrder. We are also commanded to follow the rules of our Torah leaders. #RespectDemElders • When we enter Eretz Yisroel, we are supposed to appoint a king. Even though it’s #GoodToBeTheKing, the king needs to be focused on HaShem and the Jewish people, so he can’t collect a ton of horses, wives, or cars… #TheFrugalRoyal Additionally, the king needs to write two sifrei Torah #DatScribeLife. • We also learn about the leadership role of the Kohanim #PriestItUp. They don’t receive a specific portion in the land, since HaShem is their portion #GimmeAPieceOfDat. • The Neviim must be heeded #PraisinPropheticProphets. We have to #TrustTheOneAbove- no fortune telling or magic. Also, we learn about the Ir Miklat, beautiful cities which house Leviim and keep people safe! #SafeCity #Run!!!! • The parsha ends off with some of the rules of war. We must first offer peace treaties before attacking #AllWeAreSayin is #GivePeaceAChance. We must remain sensitive and caring people and therefore aren’t allowed to destroy fruit trees #BaalTashchit #SeferHaChinuch. We also learn from here about the importance of not being destructive and wasteful, in general.

We are so excited to welcome Coby, Zecharia, & Gavriel Schrier to the CBY Youth family!!!

A Mini-Vort from the Szafranski Table to Yours!

The parsha begins with the famous instruction to place shoftim v’shotrim, judges and police officers, at the gates of our cities. There must be careful enforcement of law and order in our communities! The Chassidic and Mussar masters extend this idea to the gates of our own metaphorical cities... our bodies. We all have gates which permit things and concepts to enter our bodies and minds, namely, our eyes, ears, and mouths. We should establish safeguards and enforcement systems to ensure that we only see appropriate things, hear proper words and music, and consume kosher food and drink in a respectable manner. (Shlah, Shoftim, Derech Chaim 1; Avodas Yisroel of Koznitz, Shoftim, 1; etc.)
