  • The YINR Community Has Expanded and Flourished, Especially in The
    The YINR community has expanded and flourished, especially in the past twelve years since we moved into our new building at 1149, and YINR has indeed become the preeminent Orthodox synagogue in all of Westchester County. In addition to our Shabbat minyanim, we have eight daily minyanim, two daily daf yomis and many additional learning opportunities. We proudly offer weekly classes including parshat hashavua, Navi, Talmud, and 929; the Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS); and Ruach’s weekly Wednesday programming; and host highly respected scholars-in-residence throughout the year. Hundreds of our children participate in our youth programming each week as well as in special youth events. For the second year in a row we offer Bnei Akiva snif on Shabbat afternoons, and recently added a Shabbat afternoon Teen Mincha minyan. The fewer than twenty members that comprised YINR when it was first established in 1957 surely could not have anticipated that our community would become the focal point of Orthodox Judaism within Westchester that it is today. In the past year, we welcomed to the YINR community 11 new families, our new Executive Director, Amy Stein, and new bookkeeper, Isio Jacobovitz. In addition we have added several new committees and programs to enhance the shul experience of our members. Many have enjoyed our revived Men’s Club Friday night Shabbat onegs, filled with spirited zemirot, cholent, and kugel. Women’s League has re- started a Bikur Cholim committee to visit members in a hospital or rehab facility and provide additional support services to them once they return home.

Thanks to Bertha Bodenheimer and Malca Wilner for co-Chairing the Luncheon Please RSVP to Synagogue Office 786-4201 or [email protected] FROM THE RABBI An old joke: What’s the difference between a Jew and a WASP? A WASP leaves but never says goodbye, a Jew says goodbye but never leaves! While this joke is based on generalizations—not every WASP is cold and not every Jew likes to linger—we are, I believe, culturally conditioned to extremely slow goodbyes. And it’s a good thing. In preparation for our Lag B’omer event, I was listening to a Hasidic recording of a very long hymn. This hymn contains a line for each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet—in order. It took quite a while to sing through the hymn but when the Hasidim reached the last letter of the alef bet, “tav,” they lingered, repeating that last line perhaps 20 times! I could actually feel the energy build as that last line was sung over and over. Most of the most powerful moments in life happen while we are holding on to something— when we refuse to let go, at least for a while.

  • Yedid Nefesh
    Reflections on Prayer #10: Expressing Love for God on Shabbat R. Yaakov Bieler According to Siddurim and Birkonim, the Zemirot (songs) that are sung in Jewish homes over the course of Shabbat are specifically associated at least by custom either with Friday night or Saturday day.1 Therefore, typically, once a Zemer has been sung during the course of Shabbat, it is likely not to be repeated until the following Shabbat. And although in our printed texts, the liturgical poem Yedid Nefesh is printed exclusively in the section dedicated to the Third Meal on Shabbat afternoon,2 the practice in many Minyanim is to sing this Piyut not only during the period when Shabbat is ending, but also at the beginning of the holy day, prior to the prayers of Kabbalat Shabbat. What factors might contribute to this song becoming such an apparent keystone of the Shabbat experience? Yedid Nefesh (Beloved of the soul)3 was written by the Tzfat Kabbalist R. Elazar ben Moshe Azikri around the year 1584. According to R. Jonathan Sacks,4 “it is one of the boldest expressions of love in Jewish literature, reminiscent in mood of the Song of Songs.” In each of the four stanzas of the Piyut, at least one phrase clearly articulates the love relationship that the poet feels vis-à-vis God:5 Stanza 1 ידיד נפש . Beloved of the soul יערב לו ידידותיך מנפת צוף וכל טעם To Him (Your servant) Your love is sweeter ,than honey from the comb .than any taste Stanza 2 נפשי חולת אהבתך My soul is sick with love for you.

  • Yitro Spark 5780 0.Pdf
    Welcome to Spark, the Tribe Parasha activity sheet that will help you bring Judaism to life in a varied and exciting way. I’d like these activities to enthuse the children and show them how the Torah given almost 3500 years ago is still as relevant and as exciting in our lives today. Thank you for offering to run a Children’s Service, for all the hard work you put into it and for making a real difference to so many young people. The US is very proud of the numerous Children’s Services that are run every week across the UK and this would not happen without you. Spark gives you an overview of the weekly Parasha, songs, an activity, discussion questions or D’var Torah linked to the Parasha or important event that week. Every Children’s Service will be different, in terms of how many participants there are, their age range, its length and the varying abilities of the children. Please read through the document and find the activities that will best suit the needs of your group. It is advisable to read it before Shabbat in case there is some preparation that may be needed in advance. I am sure the children at your shul will benefit from Spark. Please be in touch if you have any queries, feedback or if we can be of any help. Thank you again for the work you do in enabling so many young Jews to access their heritage and traditions in such an exciting way. All it takes is a small spark of interest, to ignite a flame of passion for Judaism.

    ! 1 DIY SHABBAT Even when the soul is seared, even when no prayer can come out of our tightened throats, the clean, silent rest of the Sabbath leads us to a realm of endless peace, or the beginning of an awareness of what eternity means.2 1 Oil painting by Ligtenberg, Blue and White Gallery, Jerusalem 2 Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath, pg. 101 !1 DIY - Do It Yourself - Shabbat is a project of our hearts. We long for you to know the joy of G-d’s celebrations and the intimacy of meeting G-d our Father in them. Each Feast reminds us of who G-d is and who we are in Him - His children ‘born again’ by His Spirit in Yeshua ha’Mashiach, Messiah Jesus. But, many have not grown up in a home that celebrates the Biblical Festivals and so we often are asked, “Where does one start?” This is our answer… DIY Shabbat is a ’How To’ guide to jumpstart you in actively participating in the rhythm and flow of our Father’s Calendar. At HIS-ISRAEL we are about learning, doing, and sharing. To explore more in-depth understanding of each Feast (and to find additional recipes and craft ideas) please visit the drop down menu on HIS-ISRAEL.com titled Appointments with G-d. As you learn the relevance and meaning of these Mo’adim or ‘appointed times’ and move into their celebration we hope you will look for opportunities to share the enjoyment with others. ! © HIS-ISRAEL !2 !
