It Have a great Shabbos and wonderful week. was primarily how to impact G-d‘s universe to fulfill the purpose of creation and including every single Jewish and non- Jewish human, every single creation and every single moment of existence. Rabbi S Lipskar Sitting in the room were almost 3000 Jewish leaders from around the world, representing and leading millions of Jews in thousands of communities effectively, efficiently and practically. This was not a gathering to discuss a pie-in-the-sky dream of elevating an entire world or a Kumbaya moment of self-satisfaction, but a serious confab dedicated to implementing 70 years of the Rebbe’s directives, expectations and unbelievable empowerment to practically elevate the entire creation. In a world that has lost its proper focus trying to find a meaningful foundation for its future while roiling in a maelstrom of doubt, insecurity and instability, this group is solid, strong, focused and clear with a persistence and assurance that is remarkable. Global warming could have been the title of the meeting. It would not reference the environmental debate of a concept that makes no difference to the world as we can do nothing about it as only G-d can, but a global warming of the heart, soul, and mind that underscores a life of meaning, purpose, faith and happiness. 3 CELEBRATING SHABBOS WITH OUR YOUTH EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR AN “OVER THE TOP” SHABBOS EXPERIENCE Shabbos Mevarchim Tehillim Club PARSHA IN PICTURES The Lubavitcher Rebbe said, “Be scrupulous Test your Parsha knowledge. about saying the entire Tehillim (Psalms) on Shabbos Mevarchim (Blessing of the Can you tell the story of the parsha New Month).

    1 1. At midnight Rabbi Aba speaks about the time of day and how judgment and joy and praise are aroused at different times of the day and night. He says that during sleep the soul rises above and is examined about its daily activities that are then recorded in the book. 1. "And Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, 'Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon'" (Bemidbar 4:21-22). Rabbi Aba opened the discussion saying, "Blessed is the man to whom Hashem imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile" (Tehilim 32:2). The beginning and the end of this verse do not agree, BECAUSE THE BEGINNING SAYS, "IMPUTES NO INIQUITY," SEEMINGLY THAT HE HAS SIN BUT IT IS NOT ASCRIBED TO HIM. BUT AT THE END IT SAYS, "AND IN WHOSE SPIRIT THERE IS NO GUILE." We should look into it and it has already been established. 2. Come and see, During the afternoon prayers, judgment dwells in the world and Isaac, WHO IS SUPERNAL GVURAH AND THE LEFT COLUMN OF ZEIR ANPIN, composes the afternoon prayer. FOR THEN THE MATING WAS COMPLETED IN THE SECRET OF: "HIS LEFT HAND IS UNDER MY HEAD" (SHIR HASHIRIM 2:6). THEREFORE, supernal Gvurah rules the world until the onset of night, because Gvurah receives the night, MEANING THAT NIGHT IS MALCHUT DRAWN FROM GVURAH, WHICH IS THE AFTERNOON PRAYER. When the time of the afternoon prayer begins, the left separates to receive MALCHUT and the night is aroused, WHICH IS MALCHUT. 3. After THE NIGHT is aroused, all the guards of the external gates are aroused in the world and spread out, and all the inhabitants of the world taste death.

    Daf Ditty Shekalim 14: Swept Away The Death of Prince Leopold of Brunswick James Northcote (1746–1831) Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow Nephew of King Frederic II; from 1776 Regimentskommandeur und Stadtkommandant of Frankfurt (Oder); died tragically attempting to rescue some inhabitants of Frankfurt during the flood of 1785. 1 Halakha 2 · MISHNA There must be no fewer than seven trustees [amarkolin] and three treasurers appointed over the Temple administration. And we do not appoint an authority over the public comprised of fewer than two people, except for ben Aḥiyya, who was responsible for healing priests who suffered from intestinal disease, and Elazar, who was responsible for the weaving of the Temple curtains. The reason for these exceptions is that the majority of the public accepted these men upon themselves as officials who served without the assistance of even a single partner. 2 GEMARA: The mishna states that there must be no fewer three treasurers and seven trustees. The Gemara states that it was likewise taught in a baraita that there must be no fewer than two executive supervisors [katalikin]. This is as it is written in the verse that lists the men who supervised the receipt of teruma and tithes from the public and their distribution to the priests and the Levites, as well as the receipt of items dedicated to the Temple: And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and 13 גי ְָוֲַיﬠזזהוּ ִוִייחֵאל ְַוַנחתַ ַוֲﬠָשׂהֵאל Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and ְְִויַסְָמיכהוּ,ִִויירמוֹתְויָוָֹזבד, ֱֶוִאילֵאל ְְִויַסְָמיכהוּ, Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of מוּ ַ ַ ח ,ת בוּ ְ ָנ ָי וּה -- הו דיּמכונינ ,םַדִק ִִייְפּ ,םַדִק דיּמכונינ הו Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of נָכּ( נַ יְ )וּהָ מִשְׁ ו ﬠְ יִ חָא ,ויִ מְ בּ פִ דַקְ חְ י זִ יִּקְ וּהָ וּהָ יִּקְ זִ חְ י דַקְ פִ מְ בּ ,ויִ חָא יִ ﬠְ מִשְׁ ו )וּהָ יְ נַ נָכּ( e,ֶ Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house ofֶלַהמּ ָוְּהיַרזֲַﬠו ידבְּגנ ֵיתִ - ִי.ֱםgהָהא God.

    Kabbalah and Ecology God's Image in the More-Than-Human World

    Kabbalah and Ecology Kabbalah and Ecology is a groundbreaking book that resets the conver- sation about ecology and the Abrahamic traditions. David Mevorach Seidenberg challenges the anthropocentric reading of the Torah, show- ing that a radically different orientation to the more-than-human world of Nature is not only possible, but that such an orientation also leads to a more accurate interpretation of scripture, rabbinic texts, Maimonides, and Kabbalah. Deeply grounded in traditional texts and fluent with the physical sciences, this book proposes not only a new understanding of God’s image but also a new direction for restoring religion to its senses and to a more alive relationship with the more-than-human, both with Nature and with divinity. David Mevorach Seidenberg received his doctoral degree from the Jew- ish Theological Seminary for his work on ecology and Kabbalah and was ordained by both the Jewish Theological Seminary and Rabbi Zal- man Schachter-Shalomi. He also studied physics and mathematics at Dartmouth College, educational philosophy at Harvard University, and social ecology at the Institute for Social Ecology. He teaches Jewish thought in Europe, Israel, and throughout North America, in com- munities and universities and through his organization, neohasid.org, focusing on ecology and spirituality, Talmud, Maimonides, Kabbalah, and Hasidic thought; on embodied Torah, dance, and nigunim (Hasidic song); and on ecological and environmental ethics. In addition to schol- arly articles, he was a contributing editor of the Encyclopedia of Reli- gion and Nature, and his writing has been featured in The Jewish Daily Forward, Huffington Post, The Times of Israel,andtheLos Angeles Jewish Journal.
