¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

This Saturday night we begin reciting Tal Umater to reflect the winter solstice and our recognition that the dew and water are blessings from Hashem. In Eretz Yisroel they already began its recitation but here the diaspora we follow time according to the Talmud to return from the chagim to the safety of our homes. We have now traveled full cycle from the last chagim, and we place our trust in hashem as we face a dark winter with Emunah and resolve.

Good Shabbos

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

We read with dismay the CDC warning against family Thanksgiving dinner. Yet we experienced these same warnings on Pesach, Shavous, summer vacation, Rosh Hashanana, Sukkos and of course who would believe that we would not enjoy Kol Naarim under the chuppa on Simchas Torah. Still we have much to give thanks this year. Our country successfully saw a Presidential election even in the midst of the pandemic. Whether your candidate won or lost we must marvel at the strength and fortitude of our democracy. The Mayflower compact set in motion nation of values, religious conviction and respect for individual freedom. We Jews are a manifestation of Yehudah who was name which means to give thanks is highlighted in this week’s parasha.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

We have all been davening with extra intensity since at least March of this year. Recently there have been many communications about the importance of reciting Tehillim and unfortunately the many cholim in ur community. I this week’s parasha Todot we read about the power of prayer, how Yitzchok’s teffilot were accepted by Hashem and the gift of life which ensued. Let us take the opportunity to increase our :kavanah” even more so if that’s possible so we may see a “yeshua” in the very near future.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

There has been much speculation in the pro-Israel community as to President-elect Biden’s approach to the Middle East. Certainly President Trump has approached matters differently than did President Obama but much has changed since then and Preisdent-elect Biden will need to deal with the present facts on the ground rather than four years ago. Interestingly Mr. Biden had stated at one point that he had no plans to move the American embassy back from Jerusalem to Tel-Aviv. Hopefully this message will resonate with our allies and foes alike. More importantly it is a direct political and religious declaration that Jerusalem is the capitol of a sovereign nation founded in 1948, but gifted to Avrohom described by the Torah. That is why this week’s Parsha depicting the intense negotiations between Avrohom and the Bnei Ches carries so much significance. Sovereignty over the land is established by contract and Hashem’s promise to the Jewish people is memorialized for all time. May Hashem bless President-elect Biden with the wisdom and fortitude to carry these sentiments to the White House come January 20, 2021.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Last shabbos at Mincha I had the privilege of laining the Torah portion. I must confess however that it was not as pleasant an experience as when I would do it in normal conditions. Wearing a mask my glasses fog up, I have a hard time seeing the words, pronouncing the cantillation, and even breathing properly. Sure enough I came across an article today in the Wall Street Journal written by Mike Kerrigan of Charlotte, North Carolina with the title, “The Fog of Worship With Face masks.” There he “kvetches” about the challenges of attending church with a face mask while trying to read the homily. In fact he had trouble even finding his seat in his socially distant pew. I recommend the article highly and if you ask I’ll forward you a copy. We who have made the effort to attend services understand full well the experience of masks and fog. At the same time we appreciate even being able to that. Ultimately Mr. Kerrigan concludes with the following, “I have never experienced the fog of war, but I have endured the fog of worship”. To which I say Amen!

¨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.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

One of the more famous questions when studying Parshas Noach centers on the role of the Ark. For indeed Hashem did not need an Ark to save Noach, his family and the animal kingdom. A small archipelagos would do just fine. The answer is that the world needs to understand how Hashem keeps us afloat in the most darkest hours. This message resonates especiaally now with the social isolation we are facing due to covid. Now more than ever we resolve to stay afloat with the help of Hashem during these turbulent times.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

This weekend marks a new beginning. Parshas Bereishis explores the creation of the universe by Hashem. While certainly mysterious in its development it is no secret that Hashem is its creator, continues to create, and Hashem is one. It is the core of our belief. As we head into the colder months with its shorter daylight hours and in the midst of a pandemic we renew our commitment to serve Hashem and the world he created.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Shemini Atzeret/Simchas Torah is a fitting conclusion to these past seven and half weeks which began on Rosh Choesh Elul. Our prayers were very different yet very much the same. While we fast forwarded much of the tefillot we nevertheless prayed with as much if not more intensity than ever before. The covid pandemic has brought to the fore the temporariness of life and the importance of treating each day as gift from Hashem. Thus the simcha of Simchas Torah will hopefully be experienced emotionally even though we will not dance as usual. We pray that simcha will overcome despair and we will be experience geula speedily in our times.

Good Shabbos and Chag Someach.
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

There is no other Chag than Sukkot that represents complete emunah in Hashem. We move out of our houses for a week’s time to sit, learn and sometimes sleep under the stars. Our focus is directed to the world of Hashem and especially immediately following Yom Kippur we are now spiritually prepared for this experience. This year we are even more prepared; for the social isolation, careful and cautionary changes in our routines has placed us all in a state of impermanence that dwarfs the Sukkah experience. Let us hope that this year’s experience will lead us to our permanent abode in Eretz Yisroel in the future Beit Hamikdash.

Good Shabbos and Chag Someach.
Rabbi A. M. Abramson
