This is one of being true to his authentic self, going those stories. It is a tale that just cannot be mainstream. set aside or momentarily forgotten. Lemmer is a gifted chazzan with a You may have read about it online, as it smooth and natural delivery. Whatever has gotten lots of play, both literally and it is that he sings he masters. For now, Graham Parker, president Shulem Lemmer fi guratively, over the last two weeks.

Today, Shulem Lemmer, a Belzer Misérables and the classic Israeli virtual classical music labels whose purview Parker, the former general manager of chassid who is 28 years old and resides anthem, “Jerusalem of Gold.” includes discovering new talent and New York classical music station WQXR, says that he discovered Shulem when he came across his “Chad Gadya” piece that became an Internet sensation over the last few months. He says that he was additionally taken by Lemmer when he viewed Lemmer’s rendition of famed cantor Moshe Oysher’s “Hut a Gutten Chanukah.” Though you cannot discern Parker’s background by his name, in talking to him for a few minutes it becomes clear very quickly that he has a solid background in Jewish life and understands well the challenge in attempting to market Shulem Lemmer on at least two levels simulta- neously. That might explain in part why the recordings are being released several months in advance of the full album. And that is also the strategic thought behind releasing one Broadway show hit and one Israeli classic that crosses all lines. From Shulem’s perspective, he says that he received a call from Graham Parker out of nowhere with no advance warning. Shulem says that at fi rst he thought someone was trying to pull some kind of prank and he did not take the call from the person who said he was Graham Parker very seriously. If you have not heard Shulem’s ver- sions of “Bring Him Home” and “Jeru- salem of Gold,” it might be a good idea to stop reading this for ten minutes and go listen on your phone or computer. Lem- mer’s singing voice is chilling and it takes you places. Just as Parker pointed out when we spoke last week, he found something very unique and distinct about the young man’s voice. To get a slightly outside view on how these events unfolded over the last few months, I spoke with Shulem Lemmer’s manager and producer, Yochi Briskman. He pretty much says the same thing that Shulem says—that they were both skepti- cal at fi rst, but after meeting with Parker at a Boro Park restaurant and exploring the possibilities, they came away with an agreement and outline on how to proceed. The full album has already been completed. The music was recorded by the Royal Philharmonic over in England and Shulem did the voice here in Universal’s

In the case of 10-year-old Cassidy, it was too hurtful for her to speak; therefore, she wrote her message and dis- played it on the camera in front of her. In the case of Ash, he is not at liberty to speak given the nature of the regime where he lives. This comes just six months after a selfi e taken by Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan, with Miss Israel, Adar Gandelsman. The distribution of the selfi e resulted in Idan and her family having to relo- cate to Israel due to the inevitable vit- riolic and threatening messages of the leaders and fundamentalists within her repressive society. What I see connecting the videos and photo is a will amongst the people to change the status quo. This has been the thinking of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has released what is now a series of short video overtures to the people of Iran, off ering them promises of a brighter, better, freer, and more affl u- ent future in an alliance with Israel. Mr. Netanyahu himself understands that if enough people had the courage to change the status quo it could all end in an instant. We are currently in the month of Tammuz, a month that signals the time in history which led to the destruction of the two Temples and all the suff ering and tears that have fl owed from our collective faces over the better part of two millennia. The greatest sages in the history of our people, who lived their lives in exile, prayed and pleaded with G-d to bring back the Beis HaMikdash and an end to this long, bitter, and painful ga- lus. Sadly, for many, exile is perceived as a reality that only G-d has the power to change when the time is right. Perhaps the message here is not to get discouraged by the inability of great people before us to change this status quo, but to band together as an amal- gam of many people determined to make a diff erence, and we will certainly be successful.

Continued on Page 20 hibited items, just like mitzvah items, cannot nullify each other.” That is, in the opinion of R’ Elazar, the principle of nullifi cation does not apply where both of the items in the mixture are prohibited or where both are mitzvah items. As an example of a “mixture of mitzvah items,” the Gemara cites Hillel’s famous Korban Pesach sandwich of matzah, marror, and Korban Pesach meat. The Gemara says that the fact that Hillel did not consider the matzah to be nullifi ed to the bitter taste of the marror proves that, in his opinion, one mitzvah item cannot nullify another mitzvah item. But why shouldn’t the principle of nullifi cation apply just because both of the items are prohibited or are mitzvah objects? The principle of nullifi cation simply says that when we have a mixture of diff erent items that have diff erent halachic statuses, the item that makes up the majority of the mixture defi nes the mixture, causing all of the items in the mixture to take on its status. So what diff erence should it make that all of the items in the mixture happen to have a prohibited status? Why not still use nullifi cation to defi ne that if, for instance, the specifi c type of prohibited item that makes up the majority of the mixture is piggul, then the entire mixture should be considered piggul? To build a possible theory let’s go back to the roots of the concept of nullifi cation. The Torah teaches us about nullifi cation in the context of court rulings. Namely, where dissent exists in a court ruling we are to follow the majority opinion. But more than that, the Torah says that the majority opinion is legally considered the one and only opinion of the court. The minority opinion, in other words, is considered nullifi ed in the face of the majority opinion. Now, what if all the judges ruled the same say but only a minority of them have, say, low-pitched voices, or are under 70? Why not apply nullifi cation to those things? Of course, the answer is that those factors are obviously not salient features of the judges to be considered for nullifi - cation. The one and only factor we look at is: How did each judge rule? So it is regarding a mixture that is made up of only prohibited or mitzvah items. 18 July 6, 2018 • 5 TOWNS JEWISH TIMES JEWISH TOWNS 2018 • 5 July 6, 19 5 TOWNS JEWISH TIMES • July 6, 2018 20 COMMUNITY NEWS proach, building a memorial in the syn- Continued from Page 17 agogue that honors the names of Jews and those who love Israel from all over able to us in the Soviet Union were an the world.

Six13 has performed at the White House, the Kennedy Performing Arts Center, and is three-time fi nalist for NBC prime- time hit “The Sing-Off .” For the Columbia Presbyteri- an-trained Dr. Gordon, who has performed 10,000 hip and knee surgeries, orchestrating Hava Nagrilla to fruition is a labor of love. “This has never been a task for me,” he explains. “My Jewish soul is involved in it completely. It is my dream. It is my life.” For more information on Hava Nagril- la, please visit PhillyKosherBbq.com.

Swimming in Lost Items For the time being, we will continue to swim at the Y, mostly due to our host school’s reluctance to put in a pool. As explained in another note that we gave your kid that never made it home because we gave it out before swimming, after we hit the world record on the fi rst day of camp for most items lost in a single day, we decided that from now on we’re changing into our bathing suits in camp, before lunch.

Pinchas the son of Elazar the son of Aharon (Bamidbar 25:10)

Why does G-d refer to Pinchas as the “son of Elazar the son of Aharon”? Because the tribes of Israel were mocking him, saying: “Have you seen this son of the fattener, whose mother’s father (Yisro) fattened calves for idolatrous sacrifices, and now he goes and kills a prince in Israel?” Therefore, G-d traces his lineage to Aharon.

(Talmud, Sanhedrin 82b)

Few professions are as cruel and inhumane as the fattening of calves for slaughter. So when Pinchas slew Zimri, many said: “Look at this holy zealot! He acts as if motivated by the desire to avenge the honor of G-d and save the people, but, in truth, he has merely found a holy outlet for his cruel and violent nature. After all, it’s in his blood—just look at his maternal grandfather . . .” So G-d described him as “Pinchas the son of Elazar the son of Aharon” in order to attest that in character and temperament he actually took after his paternal grandfather—the compassionate and peace-loving Aharon.

The true greatness of Pinchas lay in that he acted in complete opposition to his nature, transcending his inborn instincts to bring peace between G-d and Israel.

(The Lubavitcher Rebbe)

I give to him My covenant of peace (Bamidbar 25:12)

Pinchas is Eliyahu.

Said G-d to Pinchas: You made peace between Israel and Me in this world, so, too, in the World to Come, it is you who shall make peace between Me and My children. As it is written (Malachi 3:23–24): “Behold, I will send you Eliyahu the Prophet, before the coming of the great and awesome day of G-d. And he will return the hearts of fathers to children, and the hearts of children to their fathers.”

So they sought out Olga and asked her to tutor them and prepare them for the end-of-year examinations. This way, they could work the farm alongside their fathers and study at night. After passing the exams, they would be given credit for the year. They were highly motivated and intended to obtain a gimnazium diploma. Before long, Olga was running a large program with almost 30 students, preparing them all for the end-of-year equivalency examinations. As Hungary was a Catholic country, the school curriculum naturally included Catholicism. The students needed to prepare for their examination not only in math, geography, history, and literature, but also in Catholicism. But this presented a unique problem. How could a Jewish girl, raised in the Jewish religion, be entrusted to teach Catholicism accurately and faithfully? It was therefore decided that Olga would make an appointment with the local Catholic bishop, who, after a rigor- ous examination, would hopefully certi- fy her knowledge and ability to teach the material contained in the Catholic textbook. Olga prepared for her examination by reading the textbook, and proved to the bishop that she was familiar with the tenets of Catholicism and could teach them accurately. Friends testifi ed to the bishop that Olga Elek could be trusted. Her integrity was known. While Olga’s students were progress- ing and improving, her mother’s condition was unfortunately deteriorating. Trips to the Budapest clinics revealed that her condition was turning worse. In the clinics in Budapest she was treated with costly gold injections, but tests revealed that she had also developed kidney disease and pneumonia. Back in Dombovar, Dr. Riesz held little hope for a good prognosis. A few years later, in the mid-1930s, Olga’s father’s bank went bankrupt and he was suddenly out of a job.

Either he will get his money back at some later date, or, perhaps he had been destined to die young and his money was taken instead of his life. This individual, who had been dating for a while, was soon after introduced to his future wife. The young man’s rebbe told him, “Perhaps you needed some type of kappar- ah to merit fi nding your wife, and the loss of your wealth was it.” In this story, we have another individual facing adversity. He could have let the loss of his wealth depress him and leave him unable to cope. Yet, he was able to follow the guidance of Rav Scheinberg and his rebbe and focus on the positive. He certainly would have given all of his money to save his own life or to fi nd his bashert. Of course, being wealthy would have been nice, but the tradeoff was even nicer. In all of the tests Hashem gives us there is always a silver lining. Every instance of adversity is an opportunity to enable us to grow. One useful technique in coping with these situations is to focus on the positive. Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, shlita, was once giving a talk on this very subject. A listener in the crowd raised his hand and said, “Rabbi, do you mean to tell me that when my car gets a fl at on a rainy night, I’m supposed to be happy and exclaim, ‘Yay! Hashem gave me the ability to change a fl at tire!’ Only one in a million can achieve that happiness.” Rabbi Pliskin had observable Divine providence that day. The person sitting right next to the fi rst audience member who had spoken up asked permission to speak. “That exact situation happened to me. I was returning from my doctor’s offi ce, following up after my hernia surgery. After an extended time, my doctor had fi nally cleared me to lift heavy objects. When my car got a fl at on the way home, I exclaimed, ‘Baruch Hashem, I am able to change the tire and lift heavy items by myself!’” Whereupon the fi rst audience member shouted, “That’s the one in a million!”

They didn’t let up. What took the cake was when the third man told them, “I’m telling the rabbi on you!” People do not necessarily mature with age.

At that time, I had an epiphany: People do not necessarily mature with age. These men were just as immature as fourth-graders and were not embarrassed. Maturing is a process that comes from healthy social interaction and observing others, amongst other factors. Happy moments, sad occasions, and even frus- trating circumstances all are opportunities for growth and maturation. The key factor here is how the parents deal with a situation. There are always opportunities for parents to help children mature by raising their awareness and sensitivity to what is going on around them. For example, let’s say your daughter witnessed her friend being embarrassed. If you tell her, “Poor kid” and walk away, you’re missing out on a maturing opportunity. Rather, you can say, “I wonder how she felt? Is there anything that could have been done to prevent this from happening?” In this way you’re helping your child mature by giving her the opportunity to think about what happened and grow from the experience.

Not only is the library a living memorial to Levi Yitzchak Wolowik, a’h, but it has also become an incredible resource for our community and a valuable asset to our neighborhood. The library is a home away from home to so many children and adults who visit often and rely on it as their place to study, connect, and develop a love for Jewish literature, and, with its constantly expanding educational and inspirational programs for adults and children, the library fi lls a critical community need. The library was created so that anyone, regardless of age or religious affi liation, can have a place to feel welcome and connected. If you are not already taking advan- tage of all that Levi Yitzchak Library has to off er, you are invited to visit and join the diverse group of people who have already found a purpose and meaning in the library. On any given day, you’ll fi nd Mommy and Me classes, men taking a break from their workdays to learn, schoolchildren on class trips, grandmothers and grandfathers spending quality time with their grandchil- dren, homework helpers, programs for seniors, learning programs for young women, and so much more taking place at the Levi Yitzchak Family Center and Library. The library is truly a neighborhood haven that inspires visitors to interact and grow together in a warm environment of discovery and learning. As an independent organization, the Levi Yitzchak Family Center and Li- brary needs your help to continue performing its vital role as a community center.

And it came to pass after the plague, that G-d spoke to Moshe . . . “Take the sum of all the congregation of the Children of Israel . . .” (Bamidbar 26:1) To what is this comparable? To a shepherd into whose flock there entered a wolf and killed many of them, so he counts them to know how many remain. Another explanation: It is like the case of a shepherd to whom an owner entrusted his flock by number; when the shepherd came to the end of his time, on returning them, he had to number them again. When Israel went out of Egypt G-d entrusted them to Moshe by number (as per Sh’mos 12:37 and Bamidbar 1:1); now that Moshe was about to depart from the world in the plain of Moab, he returned them by number.
