Rabbi Engel Please help us honor Larry and Susan on April 19! 2 from the Director of Education: Sheryl Sacharoff, Ed.D “As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.” – Mary Anne Radmacher Gratitude and light are most wonderful themes of this season. With the approaching holidays of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, I find myself thinking of the miracles all around us. A story by Barbara Rush reminds me of these miracles. The Hanukkah Menorahs that Could Not Be Lit is a short tale of a teacher who was sharing a lesson on storytelling with her students. At the time, the children were studying about the Holocaust and the teacher asked each of them to bring in something from home relating to the subject. Students brought in family photos and family treasures from their relatives who had survived and those who had not been as fortunate to escape the Nazis. One child brought in a Hanukkah menorah (hanukkiah) which we, as Jews, are obligated to light each Hanukkah. The author tells us that lighting the menorah relates to both historical facts as well as legend. In the second century B.C.E., a small group of Jews fought and obtained religious freedom over mighty tyrants who had desecrated the Temple and forbade them from practicing Jewish life. Legend tells us that after the victory, a great miracle happened in which the oil, which was supposed to last for only a day, lasted for eight days. Each hanukkiah has oil receptacles or candle holders for eight days and one more space for the shamash or helper candle which lights the rest. The hanukkiah that the student brought in had room for eight candles but did not have a shamash. As the story went on, it was revealed that this treasure was saved by the student’s grandfather whose shop was destroyed by the Nazis during Kristallnacht. Quite fortunately, the grandparents escaped, but the hanukkiah was rescued without the shamash. The teacher, realizing that she had once bought a hanukkiah on a trip to Poland, ran to get her treasure. The miracle was that her special menorah had a shamash, but it was made to hold a candle unlike the rest of her spaces which were made to hold oil! The teacher added the candle holder as a shamash on the boy’s rescued hanukkiah which fit perfectly! On the next Hanukkah, the student’s family invited the teacher over to share in the lighting of the miraculous candles. I wish you and yours the joy of the holidays and the Everyone looks through a particular color, but the brightness of God’s miracles all around us.

Alternative selections are offered each shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the MRJ siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals.

  • The Sacred Sulam Bridgingheaven and Earth
    Parshat Vayetzei No 1651: 10 KIslev 5777 (10 December 2016) CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE RZA The Sacre d Sullam BriidgiingHe ave n and Earth Rabbii Jonathan Morgenstern Rabbii Of Young Israell of Scarsdalle, Scarsdalle, NY Earlyon in my own religious development, I gave a lot of thought to the idea of theideal religious life. As we see in the vision of Jacob's Ladder at thebeginning of Parashat VaYeitzi, is it a life devoted solely to Heaven, or is therea way to bridgeHeaven and Earth? There is no doubt that in contemplating Avodat Hashem,how best to serve God, the Chareidi “Torah only” approach has greatallure. To spend all day studying God’s word, through Torah learning,connecting to God, through Tefillah, and communing with God on Shabbat andHolidays, through a sweet mix of Torah, Tefillah and Zemirot can be intoxicating. This lifestyle had great appeal to me at an important crossroads in mylife. But as I continued to contemplate my path forward, I thought a lotabout my past as well. I come from generations and generations ofChassidic Rabbis. My grandfather sat at his father’s Tisch, as the son ofthe Rebbe, in Wengrow. Yet, through the hand of God, which saved my grandfather,sending him to Scotland, then England and, finally, settling in Chicago – wewere no longer Chassidic – we were Modern and Orthodox and that is how I was raised. In some cosmic way, I felt (and continue to feel) that it was God’s will that Iwas raised in the way that I was here and I wasn’t meant to transport myselfback to the way it was in Europe.
