NO GATES OF JEWISH LEARNING: Sunday, March 15 & Sunday, March 22 for Spring Break A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JOSHUA FRANKLIN Purim as a Spatula One day when I was living in Jerusalem, I felt a little homesick. I decided to make some American comfort food for breakfast, which for me, was pancakes. The only problem was that I didn’t have a spatula, nor any ingredients in my apartment. While I knew how to say “eggs,” beitzim, and “flour,” kemach, I had no idea about the Hebrew word for “spatula.” This was before the days when you could pull out an iPhone and simply look it up, and I didn’t think to grab a Hebrew-English dictionary from my library shelf before I headed to the market to purchase eggs, flour, and a spatula. On my way over, I used my Hebrew grammar to construct a word that I believed would mean ,meaning to flip, combined with the grammatical construct for a tool ,הפך spatula.” The root“ which judging by the person’s ,אני מחפש מהפך should yield “spatula.” At the market, I asked someone ,(mahpach) מהפך perplexed face, I knew did not mean what I thought it meant.

  • Shabbat Hagadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday Night We Usher in Shabbat Hagadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It Is the Shabbat That Directly Precedes Pesach
    The Weekly Message of Torah from Rabbi Rheins Shabbat HaGadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday night we usher in Shabbat HaGadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It is the Shabbat that directly precedes Pesach. Some maintain that it was called “HaGadol” (“Great”) because the sermon this Shabbat was frequently a long and detailed review of the laws and rituals of Passover and the Seder. That is, the “greatness” was not the quality of the Sabbath. Rather, it was the quantity, the great length of the service. Notwithstanding the kernel of truth at the center of that bit of folk wisdom, there are other explanations that are worthy of our attention. Rabbi Avraham HaLevi, a 17th century Polish scholar who is also known as The Magen Avraham, wrote a commentary in the Shulchan Arukh. He refers to a midrashic interpretation that maintains that this Shabbat is called “HaGadol” because a great miracle happened. Just before the Exodus from Egypt, on the 10th of Nisan, for some reason the Egyptian task masters did not try to prevent our ancestors from selecting the lambs that would be sacrificed and used the night of 14th, the evening of Passover. On this night, our ancestors began their preparations for their long awaited moment of redemption. The Passover began the evening of 14th of Nisan and was experienced on the night of the 15th, but the miracles that led up to and enabled the Exodus started well before. And so it is that though we will observe Passover with Seders next week in our homes on Friday night, April 19, we know that the greatness of that night depends on the preparation we make in the coming days.
