¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

As the proverbial saying goes, some people look at the glass half full some half empty. The spies as related in this week’s parasha were unable to see past their current status. Joshua and Caleb however were able to see potential, future growth and a prosperous Jewish nation. These lessons are ever so pertinent as we attempt to slowly transition back to shul and hopefully these gradual steps will lead us to our promised land.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Parshat Behalotcha takes us from a steady ride on the way to Eretz Yisroel to an abrupt halt and a delay of forty years to the Promised Land. The Parsha begins with the beautiful ceremony of the lighting of the menorah followed by the carrying of the Aron Kodesh and then: the rebellion of the manna, the scandal of the spies, Korach’s attempted coup; all in a matter of a few Parshiot and so soon after a seemingly quick entry to Eretz Yisroel.

We are living in very challenging times. Just a few months ago the American economy was flying high, airplane travel was at its peak, people were confident and nothing seemed to hold us back. And then; Covid 19, George Floyd, the recession, Synagogue closings, and need we say more. Our plans hopes and goals have been temporarily shattered. Yet as the saying goes hopes springs eternal. Like the Bnei Yisroel who overcame the challenge while travelling in the cloud of Glory we shall attempt the same, albeit in our own bubble of social isolation but nevertheless with the same emunah, faith and hope in Hakodesh Baruch Hu.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

During these past few months we have been inundated with statistics. We read daily about the number of Covid cases world-wide. The numbers are astonishing and sometimes have a tendency to deflect our attention from the individual to the communal. Last week the New York Times published an edition which included tens of thousands of names who passed away from the Coronavirus. Some of the names included a brief description of who they were and what they represented. It was a stark reminder that this plague is not just a statistic but affects every individual from all walks of life. In fact we Jews who know full well how to mourn the kedoshim of the Shoah; not just the incredible number of deaths but their names, ages and accomplishments.

This week’s Parshas Naso records the names of each tribal leader and in an amazing display of individual recognition employs the exact same language over and over again. This repetitive exercise is an important lesson. Every individual is special in the eyes of G-d. None of us is merely a statistic and each of us deserves the dignity that it implies. May we always be cognizant of these lessons as we plod through these long periods of social isolation.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

This year celebration of Shavous takes on a whole new meaning. Most of us are used to late night communal learning, milchig Kiddush in shul, Megillat Ruth and Yizkor with our fellow Congregants. We unfortunately will have to celebrate and commemorate in relative isolation. Even those synagogues and Kollelim open are also very limited in attendance, restricted communal singing, social distancing and limited Torah reading. We however also have an opportunity to make this year an even more meaningful Shavous. With all the down time we may focus on elongated prayer, deeper concentration on the the Book of Ruth, and quality time learning Torah. Shavous changed the dynamic of the Bnei Yisroel’s relationship with Hashem. Let us take this task and make it our own.

Good Yom Tov and Shabbos

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It is hard to imagine the Bnei Yisroel nation on a forty year journey through the Sinai Desert. Yet this is exactly the picture painted for us in this week’s Parasha. We learn of the encampments, the opening and closing as they prepared to travel, the layers of protection and the spiritual growth necessary for physical advancement. Certainly we should be able to relate to the importance of physical safety in order to protect our spiritual souls and we pray that soon we will all be able to embark on our own individual and communal journeys back at shul.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It is hard to imagine the Bnei Yisroel nation on a forty year journey through the Sinai Desert. Yet this is exactly the picture painted for us in this week’s Parasha. We learn of the encampments, the opening and closing as they prepared to travel, the layers of protection and the spiritual growth necessary for physical advancement. Certainly we should be able to relate to the importance of physical safety in order to protect our spiritual souls and we pray that soon we will all be able to embark on our own individual and communal journeys back at shul.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

This week’s double-parasha Behar- Bechukosai carries with it the essence of our belief in Hashem. The first emphasizes the laws of shemittah/yovel and requires the agricultural society of Eretz Yisroel to refrain from planting and tilling every seven years. The second reminds of the great responsibility and consequences of our Jewish heritage and commitment to Hashem’s ways. The brechot and kellalot are reminders of awesome relationship with Hashem. As we continue yet another week in quarantine we pray that just as we conclude the reading of Sefer Vayikrah with the words Chazak Chazak Vnizchazak so too may we be strengthened with these very same sentiments this weekend and beyond.

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Lag b’Omer

This coming week we celebrate Lag BOmer. Jews around the world commemorate it with parades, bonfires, haircuts for their three year old boys in Meron, and of course we refrain from reciting Tachnun during the tefilot of the day. The origins and the meaning of the day is quite relevant; for it was on this day, as recorded in the Talmud,, that the terrible plague that decimated thousands of students of Rabbi Akiva ceased on that very day. While we mourn during the entire period ofthe sefirat h’omer, Lag B’Omer has become the great respite from the dark mourning we observe. Yet another reason for Lag B’Omer ‘s semi holiday status is because we observe the yahrtziet of Rav Shimon Bar Yochai, the star pupil of Rabbi Akiva and the author of the Zohar.

Perhaps this year even though we are isolated in our homes and unable to participate in any public celebrations, we are able to identify with the day itself. We pray first of all for the current plague to cease. In addition, we take great pride in Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai who lived in a cave for 14 years while hiding from the Roman persecutions. He and his son learned Torah throughout that period with great intensity and with utmost concentration. What might be more relevant a lesson than that as we welcome Lag B’Omer this year with the hope and prayer that soon we will resume a life filled with good health live and breathe the teachings of Rabbi Akiva and the passion of Rav Shimon Bar Yochai.

Good Shabbos and Happy Lag B’Omer
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Some of you may have read John Kass’s article in the Tribune this past week about the Leon Family here in West Rogers Park (thanks to Sherwin Mishkin for forwarding the article). If you haven’t read it I recommend it for it encapsulates many of the ups and downs (mostly ups) for the orthodox Jewish community not only pre covid but throughout our cycles of family, holidays, and traditions. Yet even or perhaps because of our isolation we are able to see the good in others and wake up each day in appreciation for what we have. Kedoshim –Holy shall we be the Torah commands on the second of this week’s Parasha. While there may be different interpretations we may all agree that it is both an awesome responsibility and a vote of confidence from Hashem. Let us use this opportunity to grow spiritually be strengthened and emerge as better people than ever before.
