D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock Parshat Pekudei begins by reiterating the critical roles of Betzalel and Oholiav in the construction of the Mishkan. Earlier Rashi noted that when the Torah mentions Betzalel or Oholiav, it often makes the point of providing their lineage: not only the names of their fathers, Shabbat Afternoon but also identifying the tribe from which they come. “Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah…..With him was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan….”(38:21-22) 5:05pm Gemara Shiur on Gittin (in Hebrew) Beit Midrash Rashi explains that the tribe of Dan was the least respected tribe, as Dan was the son of a 5:05pm Daf Yomi Library maidservant; while the tribe of Yehuda was the most respected tribe, the tribe of leadership and monarchy. The Torah wants us to understand that in order for the Mishkan Campaign to be 5:20pm Rabbi Weinstock’s class. Topic: Drinking on Main Sanctuary successful, it needed to include, and be supported by, a full spectrum of Jews. Purim, and Jewish Attitudes towards Alcohol Last Friday, I joined 22 of my rabbinic colleagues from Young Israel across the country in signing a statement of concern directed towards National Council of Young Israel. 6:05pm Teen Minchah Room 5 NCYI is an umbrella organization with over 100 “branches” (ie independent Orthodox 6:05pm Minchah Main Sanctuary synagogues that utilize the name “Young Israel”). It’s stated mission is to “broaden the appeal of the traditional community as the central address for Jewish communal life by After Minchah Halacha Chaburah with Rabbi Adam Frieberg Library providing educational, religious, social, spiritual, and communal programming." The organization traces its beginnings to 1912 when a group of young Orthodox Jews decided to do After Minchah Gemara Shiur with Rabbi Jonathan Hirsch Chapel what they could to make Orthodox more relevant to their peers, and combat the wave After Minchah Parsha Shiur with Rabbi Yossi Jankovits Beit Midrash of assimilation. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for what National Council has accomplished for Teen Seudah With Rav Natan Rooms 3 & 4 Orthodox Jewry in the 20th century. They provided interest-free loans to help Orthodox Shlishit synagogues get off the ground, thereby enriching the landscape of Orthodox Jewish 7:06pm Maariv Main Sanctuary communities across the country. I grew up attending a Young Israel, and I attribute my chosen career path to my experiences in my hometown shul. Recently NCYI convened a very Immediately Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 5 min. class Library successful Parenting Panel at our shul. after Maariv In the last few years NCYI has increased its political advocacy work and its press releases, both in terms of the quantity, as well as the breadth of issues that it comments on. This includes press releases on issues related to both policies and politics, in the and in Israel. An Orthodox synagogue umbrella group should be both patriotic and Zionistic, ie find ways to support Israel and the United States, in both word and action. However in today’s hyper- partisan climate, my colleagues and I feel that NCYI should be careful when and what it comments on and how those views are expressed. Not every news item or current event, here or in Israel, requires a press release or statement. Since the platform for NCYI to issue press releases is built on the fact that it “represents” thousands of Orthodox Jewish families (approximately 5,000 of which are represented by the 23 congregations that initially signed the Shabbat Safety, Security & First Aid statement), we feel that there needs to be a transparent and inclusive process before statements “Safety & Security is everyone’s responsibility. If You See Something Say Something!” Talk to the President, Rabbis, or Executive Director. are released “in our names”. Furthermore as a matter of priorities, we believe that NCYI should focus on synagogue services and advocacy work that directly impacts and benefits synagogues AED (Automated External Defibrillator) & other equipment in closet next to Social Hall. and their constituents, and not on press releases that can be partisan and divisive. Safety Reflector Belts (a project of the OU) are in the closet for use by our congregants We must be vigilant that political views are never a litmus test for membership and Shabbat Crossing schedule: Stirling Road at SW 33rd Avenue involvement in our shul.

Vaccination Policy The following resolution was passed by the Young Israel of Hollywood Governing Board on December 26, 2018: It is a religious requirement to get you and your child(ren) vaccinated for the safety of each child and for the community at large. There is no such thing as a Jewish/ Halachic religious exemption to vaccinations. Shuls should protect their members (especially those who are medically unable to be vaccinated) by restricting access of those who choose to remain unvaccinated to shul programs and events. Therefore, all adults, youth and teens attending Young Israel of Hollywood programs or services, whether on or off our facility, must be fully vaccinated according to standards of the State of Florida in order to participate in our programs and services. The only exception to this policy is for those who are unable to receive vaccines for valid medical reasons.
