¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Shavous, the one and only Yom Tov not associated with a specific mitzvah is actually the most mitzvah centric of them all. For it is on this day that we celebrate the entire Torah and the Sinai experience. The revelation at Mount Sinai is the epicenter of Jewish belief; more so than creation. This is where and when the world begins to accept the moral and ethical values emanating from the Torah. We therefore proclaim Chag Someach on this the festival and anniversary of the giving of the Torah to the Jewish nation.

Good Shabbos and Chag Someach.

Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It is always amazing every seven years to witness the shemittah observances in Israel. In this agricultural oasis despite arid and desert weather tens of thousands of Jews observe the agricultural sabbatical without hesitation. While there are heterim many still prefer to emulate the Biblical and rabbinical proscriptions. In this weeks Parsha we see the correlation between Sinai and the laws of shemittah/Yovel. It is inherent to our belief in Hashem and an extension of the Sinai experience.

Good Shabbos,
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Yom Haatzmuet, Israel’s 74th Independence Day always carries with great significance. This year after that “venerated” publication Crimson of Harvard University editorialized in favor of BDS we realize more than ever the great miracle of the establishment of the State of Israel. For despite the isolation, degradation, and antisemitism Israel and the Jewish people march on.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Ukraine/Russia. Terrorism in Israel. Soaring crime rate.

Yet the major front page news story centers on Oscar winning actor Will Smith punching the entertainer Chris Rock live on stage at last week’s Oscar Awards Ceremony. The altercation was precipitated by Mr. Rock’s attempt at a lame joke directed at Will Smith’s wife’s baldness. The baldness is due to a condition called alopecia. Mr. Smith took exception to the comedic insult and sought physical vengeance The Washington Post reported that officials at the Motion picture Academy asked Mr. Smith to leave the room but he refused and ironically walked the stage again after winning an Oscar later that evening for best actor.

This week’s parsha highlights the physical/spiritual disease known as Tzaraas. The antidote was quarantine followed by teshuva. The Torah emphasizes the need for spiritual perfection to combat a disease caused by Loshen Harah and other such infractions. We as Torah readers and religious Jews understand that the whole body requires both physical and spiritual holiness. One without the other is an incomplete entity.
The comedy of insult is so much part of the fabric of society that we don’t even realize the nastiness and danger inherent in the routine. The ease to reply with violence has also become part of our society. It is time for a new quarantine to respect one another and rid ourselves of the spiritual malaise affecting our everyday lives.
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi A. M. Abramson
