LAUDERDALE NOVEMBER 2019 PAGE 3 RABBI’S MESSAGE AGES AND STAGES The Mishna in the 5th Chapter of Pirkei Avot mentions a number display on a daily basis? How many of us will ever again of milestone birthdays and an outline of the recommended demonstrate trust, optimism and unconditional love like these achievements that are appropriate for each age. For example, at children do every day? To be able to take the qualities that have age 5, a child should begin learning Chumash. At 10 Mishnayot been acquired at each milestone and integrate them into one’s life should be introduced to the child’s curriculum. Milestones are even in later years is a noteworthy achievement. This is what not just for the young. The Mishna tells us what the achievement made Sarah so unique. “Kulan Shavin L’Tova” means that Sarah is for a 40 year old, a 60 year old and even a 100 year old was able to take the best lessons she learned from being 7 and individual. If any of you are approaching a milestone birthday still utilized them when she was 20, and was still utilizing those you may want to check the Mishna to find out what Yehuda Ben lessons at age 100. Taima thinks you should be up to. As Rav Soloveitchik put it: The importance of age and milestones seems especially suited “The child is endowed with a capacity of an all-absorbing to the beginning of Parshat Chayei Sarah, in which we read of faith and trustfulness; youth bursts with zealousness, idealism, the death of our matriarch Sarah. The way the Torah lists her age and optimism; the adult, mellowed with years, has the benefit of

can teach us three important lessons on how Sarah lived her life: accumulated knowledge and dispassionate judgment. Each age is “Sarah’s lifetime was one hundred years, twenty years, and physically and psychologically attuned to particular emphases, seven years; the years of Sarah’s life.” but the superior individual can retain and harmonize the positive strengths of all three periods during his or her lifetime.” Rashi feels that the repetition of the word “Shana”, year, between each digit of Sarah’s age is superfluous. Since there are What emerges from this verse is that although there are no extra words in the Torah, Rashi quotes the Midrash to explain: certain milestones associated with different life stages, ultimately “At one hundred, she was like a twenty-year-old in regards to age is just a number. Rebecca and I started dating in March, sin. Just as a 20 year old has not yet sinned, for until age 20 a around the time of our birthdays. On our second date, she gave person is not liable for punishment, so too Sarah was without sin me a birthday card that read “You’re only as old as you feel”. at age 100. And at 20, she had the innocent beauty of a 7 year Since then, it has become a favorite saying in our home. My old.” experiences have shown how true this statement is. I have met 90 year olds with the vigor and disposition of a 30 year old, and 30 It is common for people to disparage those of a different age year olds who act more like what you’d expect from people in bracket. I often hear older adults make comments that echo the their 90’s. If we are able to retain those positive qualities of quote from George Bernard Shaw: “youth is wasted on the youth and integrate them with the positive qualities of adulthood, young”. At the same time, younger people can’t wait until they then age is in fact just a number, and we have successfully are older: either because they will be able to do things that they emulated this admirable trait of our matriarch Sarah. can’t right now, or because they want to correct all of the mistakes that they believe the current older generation is making. Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaryah is proof that age is just a number. In the Passover Hagaddah we read his statement: “I am like a 70 The Midrash at the beginning of this week’s Parsha is year old.” teaching us that each stage of life has a unique task. To fully accomplish what we can at each phase of life, we must not We are all familiar with the explanation that at 18, R. Elazar second guess or criticize people at a different stage that are grew a long flowing white beard in order to be more accepted by working on different traits. For if we do, we will not be living up his older colleagues. What we can also learn from Rabbi Elazar to the example set by Sarah, who was able to achieve all that was is that although most people do not attain prudence, insight, and available to her at every age; from 7 through 127. judgment until much later in life, he was granted these qualities at an earlier age. The Ramban disagrees with Rashi. He does not consider the repeated word “Shana” to be extraneous; nor does he feel it Sarah Imeinu also proves that age is just a number. Whether requires any explanation beyond its literal interpretation. you’re 20 or 100 or somewhere in between- you can still exhibit However he does find the end of the pasuk to be unnecessary: those admirable qualities you exhibited at age 7. Alternatively, “The years of Sarah’s life.” you can be like Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya and jump the gun; adopting a worldview and positive traits normally associated We have already been told that Sarah lived 127 years. What is with someone much older. added to our understanding through the words “Shnei Chayei Sarah”? Ramban answers by quoting a Midrash, also found in Sarah’s legacy as it emerges from Parshat Chayei Sarah is Rashi: three-fold. We must appreciate that each stage of our lives has “All of Sarah’s years were equal in goodness.” something to offer. We must take the best of each stage and integrate it into our persona so that it sticks with us even as we There are specific qualities and characteristics that emerge reach later milestones. Lastly, the qualities that are associated from each stage of life. As we grow older, most of us move on to with each age are only paradigms; and it is possible to achieve the next stage, leaving behind our previously acquired qualities. I these milestones out of order. look at the children that ask me for lollipops in shul, between the ages of 2 and 6.

BLESSING THE NEW MOON Rabbi Adam Frieberg [email protected] Each month, shortly after the appearance of the new moon, a full). The Nehardeans maintain that the blessing may be said beracha, accompanied by a series of prayers is recited at this until the moon is completely full, until and including the auspicious time. fifteenth day of the new moon.

Different reasons are given as to why this meteorological When possible, great preference is given to Motzai Shabbat as event is recognized with a blessing, while others are not. One the ideal time to recite Kiddush Levana. The Talmud states suggestion is if one wishes to come closer to God, they should that when we say Kiddush Levana it is as if we are “greeting appreciate God through nature. The moon is especially the Divine Presence”. Therefore, we recite the blessing while appropriate for this purpose, as the Jewish people are standing and happy. This is why the recitation is often frequently compared to the moon; just as the surface of the postponed to Motzai Shabbat when people are in a more moon reflects the light of the sun, so too the Jewish people are festive mood and in their finest clothing, the most fitting way charged with the mission of reflecting Godliness into the to greet God. In fact, if one is reciting it on a weekday, one is world. advised to ensure one is wearing something proper and dignified. Ashkenazim refer to this practice as Kiddush Levana while Sefardim refer to it as Birkat HaLevana. Calling this All that being said, if Saturday night falls out after the 10th of ceremony Birkat HaLevana makes a lot of sense, as it refers to the month, Rema advises saying Kiddush Levana as soon as the opening blessing recited upon the moon’s renewal. It is possible, and not waiting for Motzai Shabbat. He is worried quite possible that Birkat HaLevana is this ritual’s true and that if one waits, perhaps it will be cloudy on the last few days original name, and no one is quite sure how the popular term of the permissible time frame, and you don’t want to put Kiddush Levana found its way to ashkenazic parlance. yourself in a situation where you missed the mitzvah because you waiting too long to say the blessing. Regardless of how you refer to this monthly ritual, Shulchan Arukh1 clearly states that someone who sees the moon in its During the month of Av, it is advisable to wait until after state of renewal has to say a beracha on it. But when may you Tisha B’Av to recite Kiddush Levana, as it is hard to be in a say this blessing? While the Talmudic discussion about this joyous mood before that awful day passes. Many have the mitzvah presents an argument about the latest time one may custom to recite Kiddush Levana immediately after Yom recite this beracha, it does not include any discussion about Kippur, as that is an extremely joyous time and before Yom when the beracha may first be said. While it may seem Kippur has passed you are awash in fear of judgement and not obvious that it can be said as soon as the new moon is first full of joy, as is required to recite Kiddush Levana. However, seen, and that is technically the halacha2, common custom is some have the custom to specifically say Kiddush Levana never to do so. Ashkenazic practice is to wait at least three before Yom Kippur in an attempt to accrue an additional days, seventy-two hours from the time of the molad, the mitzvah before the day of judgement. appearance of the new moon, before reciting Kiddush Levana3. Sephardic practice is to wait until seven days have passed. A bein adam l’chavairo aspect of this mitzvah is the hearty Some explain that we wait so the moon is brighter, while Beit “Shalom Aleichem” wished to three other congregants as part Yosef4 explains that the reason for waiting seven days is of the service. One explanation for this practice is now that we have greeted God, we take the opportunity to greet and bless kabbalistic in nature. 6 each other . Another explanation of this practice is that since If you do recite the blessing before the the third day, you have Kiddush Levana includes within its text a curse directed fulfilled the mitzvah and should not repeat the beracha. Rav towards the enemies of the Jewish people, we take the Moshe Feinstein believed that if you are concerned you will opportunity to bless our friends at that same time. be unable to recite the beracha after the third day, then it is permissible to say it before seventy-two hours have passed, Kiddush Levana concludes with Aleinu, a prayer which while Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach didn’t grant permission focuses on our faith and commitment to God. This is to recite the blessing earlier than usual in that case. particularly appropriate at this time to ensure no one thinks that we were actually praying to the moon. Indeed, one should As mentioned, the Talmud5 provides two opinions as to the not stare at the moon at any time during the recitation of final day to recite the blessing. Both Rav Yehuda and The Kiddush Levana but merely glance at it prior to reciting the Nehardeans agree with the Talmudic statement that the opening blessing. blessing may only be said until the moon’s cavity is full. They disagree upon how to interpret this statement.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE NOVEMBER 2019 PAGE 13 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: I am visiting Israel after they have begun to say “V’Tein Tal U’matar” in Israel (ie after 7 Cheshvan) but before we have begun reciting it in the Diaspora (ie December 4). What should I say in my silent Amida?

A: Many opinions hold that if one will be in Israel during that entire period (from the 7th of Cheshvan until December 4th) one should say Ten Tal in Birkat HaShanim, however, if one would not be there for that amount of time one should say it in Shomea Tefillah.

Q: What Bracha (before and after) does one make on granola bars?

A: Granola bars are made with rolled oats and syrups. Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 208:4) writes that the beracha for raw, toasted, or cooked grains (including oats) is ha’adoma, so long as the grains do not break apart and become sticky (in which case, the appropriate beracha would be borei minei mizonos). The oats in a granola bar do not break down and fuse together during the processing. Rather the oats are merely stuck together with syrup. If one were to wash or melt away the syrup, one would find that the oats remain separate and distinct. Therefore, the beracha on granola bars is ha’adoma.

In terms of after blessing: Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 208:4) writes that if one were to eat raw or toasted kernels of the five grains there is a question as to what beracha acharona should be recited. Tosfot (Berachot 37a) cites an opinion that a special beracha acharona, “al ha’odama v’al pri ha’adoma,” should be recited. However, the consensus of the poskim is that we do not recite this blessing, but rather borei nefashot is said instead. Nevertheless, Shulchan Aruch says that lichatchila (to be meritorious) one should avoid eating a kezayit of raw or toasted oats in the time span of k’dei achilat prat (according to Igros Moshe, Orach Chaim 4:41, this would be 4½ minutes). On a practical level, if one eats only 1½ Nature Valley granola bars (there are 2 bars to a package), he will have eaten more than a kezayis of granola and other ingredients in total, but less than a kezayis of oats. Accordingly, he would recite a borei nefashos according to all opinions. If one wants to eat more than 1½ granola bars, he or she may eat 1½ bars, pause, continue eating, and then recite a borei nefashos, provided that no more than 1½ bars are consumed in any given 4½ minutes time-frame. Bidieved (after the fact), if one ate more than 1½ bars in a span of 4½ minutes, a borei nefoshos would be recited in any event. (From OU Halacha Yomis.)

Israel: A Predictable Ally in an Unpredictable Region

The Middle East is a hotbed of instability—a region constantly changing, and in which threats to Israel, as well as to America, are mounting. However, one stabilizing element is a consistently strong U.S.-Israel alliance. As 2019 comes to an end, we look back at just a few of the developments in the region from the past year:

Iran

Iran has continued testing ballistic missiles and working to advance its nuclear weapons capability. In October 2019, the Iranian regime, in direct violation of the JCPOA (more commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal), said it will limit international inspectors’ access to its nuclear in November 2019. Further, the regime said the secondary circuit of the Arak heavy water nuclear reactor, which creates the fuel used in nuclear warheads, will become operational. Throughout the year, the regime continued to spend an inordinate amount of money on furthering its nuclear project, promoting terrorism and destabilizing countries throughout the region, posing a direct threat to Israel’s existence and U.S. interests in the region.

Jordan

The Israel-Jordan peace treaty remains a critical component of Israel’s security. While Israel and Jordan work together behind the scenes on issues important to their shared security, over the past year an influx of refugees from Syria, coupled with severe drought and Iran’s regional aggression toward moderate Arab counties, has strained the Hashemite Kingdom’s resources and has threatened its security and stability.

Lebanon

In December 2018, the Israel Defense Forces launched a military operation intended to "expose and destroy" a series of Hezbollah terror tunnels in Lebanon. Since, Hezbollah aggression has escalated, and Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah said that forces aligned with his party would enter Israel. “The enemy is on the defensive, we have always been on the defensive, now we are in attack mode,” he said. In August 2019, Hezbollah launched multiple anti-tank guided missiles at Israel and further attacks have been promised.

Iraq

Iraq celebrated its victory over the Islamic State (ISIS) one year ago, in December 2018. In October 2019, however, anti-government rallies over corruption and joblessness, as well as violence from state police, began threatening to undermine the fragile peace Iraq has enjoyed since the defeat of ISIS. This poses not only a serious risk to U.S. strategic interests in the region, but could also create a fertile breeding ground for a resurgence of ISIS and allow Iran to gain a tighter hold on the country as it continues to devolve into chaos— increasing the threat to Israel.

In the face of this instability, American support for Israel must remain predictable to ensure that Israel can defend itself by itself. Despite the constant changes in the region and the mounting threats to both the United States and Israel, the Jewish State remains a vibrant democracy, a pillar of freedom, an innovative nation with an outsized impact on the world, and a strategic ally to the United States. That alliance must remain permanent. #1BEST PAYROLL SERVICES
