¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

This coming Tuesday is election day. We always stress the importance of voting and this year is no exception. Interestingly most people who I have spoken to have already voted so this reminder may be a mere formality. Nevertheless it goes without saying that our vote counts not just as citizens but as committed Jews. It is fascinating that President’s Trump’s daughter is an orthodox convert and her children are Jewish. Former Vice President Biden has a Jewish daughter-in-law, and Senator Harris is married to a Jewish man. In the scheme of things it does not add up to much and political power depends on many factors. If not for Hashem’s intervention Queen Esther would not have succeeded in thwarting Haman’s evil intentions. Yet there is something strange in the winds. Chelsea Clinton married a Jewish man in an “inter-faith” ceremony and Jews have risen to some of the the highest positions of the corporate and political world. When Avrohom, as related in this week’s Parsha sought to save the world through monotheism, moral and ethical behavior, he also set the standards for the Jewish community for future generations. Our hope and prayer is that we will be able to continue the Abrahamic dynasty not through assimilation but but by our commitment to his and Sarah’s values.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
