Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Groups--families, ethnicities ["peoples"] , cities, nations- seek liberation from the control of  even well-meaning others. Individuals want more. We also want to be free "internally"---free from being dominated by distorted perceptions, free from unregulated emotions/desires.  But individuals are always a part of groups, usually more than one at the same time. How is our individual freedom linked to the freedom of the groups to which we belong?    And, to raise what is a kind of "spiritual" question: Is there a transcendent context/world which might help us navigate the relationship between our individual search for freedom and our life as members of families, communities, cities, "peoples" and nations?

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

On the surface, life can often seen almost mathematically structured. The calendar of our days has its own fixed  rhythm, its tune following  seemingly unchanging patterns. But look a little closer and you see that this order is punctuated by moments of choice and change, by events that mark our freedom from subjugation to a predetermined reality. We note moments of renewal in which we rediscover our creative possibilities. We come to  measure our lives from these moments--so many years after finding love, or before a having a professional inspiration. We name times "before X"  and "after X". It is the nature of these "x"s that reveals what truly renews us, what makes us "new" Before or after a relationship; before and after specific people; before and after places or ideas or melodies or images, or etc. etc. The power of spirit to renew itself is always breaking through the seeming algorithm of our lives.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Good relationships are based on trust, on a faith in the ongoing commitment of our friends or partners. But faith in fail or falter. Maybe they don't seem to be around when we need them. Or, we misperceive or misunderstand each other or the nature of the relationship. Absence and misperceptions undermine and unbalance our relationship. Then,  we do something that reveals the  crisis in our relationship. We might seek substitutes, somebody or something else to fill the perceived absence. Or, we might betray the values which ground our relationship.  And there is a cost: key symbols of the relationship somehow disappear or are damaged. The wedding ring comes off. Painful or even dangerous consequences emerge and are often seen as retribution for our lack of faithfulness.  We cut them off, stop speaking to them or do so only in a distant and often cold tone.  We find ourselves asking: Is our relationship so damaged that it is over? or, is there enough love, commitment and shared values remaining to allow us to start again?   It seems to em that all this is true not only of our relationships with others but also of our relationship with what is deeply spiritual or even divine.

Views from the Pews - Purim Thoughts from Bezalel Kosofsky

I went on a Torah tour of the Central Park Zoo led by Rabbi Becher on Thanksgiving with Congregation Ohab Zedek. The tour started with a goose drinking grape juice while a fish was making kiddush, a bunny dipping apples in honey, cats wearing Shabbos hats, a bear wearing a kippah on his hair, a fly eating a kosher pizza pie, and a horse playing dreidel of course.  In the middle of the tour, I heard a kangaroo speaking Hebrew to fish speaking back in Yiddish and saw a cow shaking a lulav right now. The tour ended with a gopher blowing shofar and a gorilla reading a megillah.


RABBI SCHWARTZ'S PURIM NOTICE


Dear OZ Family,

The year 5781 conflates a number of anomalies that combine to make this a very rare calendrical year.  Purim on Erev Shabbos, The 10th of Teves on Friday, Chanukah all together missing Parshas Miketz, Erev Pesach on Shabbos, Tisha B’Av on Sunday, and the very rare readings for the Haftorahs of  Miketz and Tetzave, make all these anomalies a once-in-a-century year.

Please read below for select Purim Halachos and Guidelines, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your resilience in allowing us a responsible reopening during this time. 

 

Celebrate with OZ

When the month of Adar comes, the Talmud tells us to increase our Joy. What better way than participating in this year's Virtual Annual Dinner featuring the comedy of MODI. Please click HERE to RSVP.

 

Parshas Zachor

  • Some Poskim consider that one may fulfill the reading of Parshat Zachor by hearing the laining on Purim. 

 

Machatzis HaShekel

  • This Mitzvah can be fulfilled by donating HERE
  • Based on the current stock price of silver (which is constantly fluctuating), to fulfill the maximalist opinion of fulfilling this mitzvah, an $18.00 donation will suffice, but “Kol HaMarbeh Harey Zeh Meshubach.”

 

Purim Mitzvos & Ta’anit Esther

  • Taanit Esther is Thursday, Feb. 25th and fasting begins at 5:24am and ends at 6:27pm.  We should preferably daven Maariv and hear the Megillah before breaking our fast, but if we have no access to hear the Megillah earlier, then daven Maariv before eating and then join one of the later readings. 
  • This year, you must RSVP to attend our 'in-person' Megillah Readings. There will be social distancing in the Main Shul and limited space in the 'Sukkah.' Please click HERE for evening and morning times.
  • For those who due to health concerns cannot participate 'in-person', we will host Zoom Megillah Readings on Thursday at 8:30pm and Friday at 11:00am - click HERE for free RSVP. There is a call-in option as well.
  • Matanos L’evyonim can be fulfilled by donating HERE.  This year the need is great, especially in Israel.
  • Shalach Manos must inlcude at least 2 food items to 1 person.  Every year I announce that we should concentrate more on Matanos L’evyonim than on Shalach Manos.  This goes doubly for this year.  Please exercise discretion in fulfilling this mitzvah. 
  • The Seudas Purim should begin before Midday, and the custom is for it to be dairy so as not to impact on the Shabbos meals.

 

Please let me know if you can assist with delivering Shalach Manos to some of our homebound seniors and assist them with their shopping or even setting them up for Zoom Megillah Readings.

 

Special preparations for Pesach will follow as a Shabbos Erev Pesach brings its own special rules. 5781 continues to be an anomalous year in many ways. 

 

Kol Tuv,

Hashkama Minyan Dvar Torah: Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Sources of power, material, psychological or spiritual, may bring with them as much danger as creative opportunity, The mental power that builds a business can also tempt one to take advantage of less sophisticated customers and employees. The charisma that draws friends and followers opens the door to exploiting and using others for one's own pleasures and purposes.  Sacred places or objects reveal a transcendent dimension that  must be handled with a care and respect, that demands a protective boundary. We need force, energy and intensity in order to live a full life and make a difference in the world. To be fully human we must have them, But all such power comes labeled: Handle with care and caution. 

Reflection based on the Ark of the Covenant.

Office Update

Over the last weekend a burst pipe in the back of the Social Hall leaked into our main office. The heavy snowfall largely prevented us from getting rapid assistance, but thankfully our staff quickly salvaged and cleaned what they could. Equipment was saturated, files were soaked, and the wall and carpet are in the process of being removed and replaced as we work with our insurance and mold mitigation companies. We appreciate your patience as we get the phones, computers, systems, and other items up and running.

Hashkama Minyan Dvar Torah: Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Systems of law not only govern human behavior but also express values and commitments.

The law written in the book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible is no exception.

Here are some of its most important values and commitments. 

  • Seek to show a generosity of spirit in caring for the vulnerable.
  • Use your foresight and ability to control material reality to anticipate difficulties and dangers and then take precautions.
  • Difficult deals must sometimes be made in order handle the challenges of a physically, economically  and socially imperfect world.
  • Be steadfast and faithful in your commitment to G'd.
  • Find ways to express that commitment to G'd both privately and publicly.

A few questions to think about : 

  • Are any of these also ethical or religious values worthy of commitment independent of a system of law?
  • Do we compromise them by  building them into legal systems that use force? 
  • Is it important for a people to have a system of law that, in addition to controlling the  use of force and violence, also expresses its ethical or religious values?
  • If yes, why? 

Reflections based on the covenant law code in Exodus

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Anyone who lived in the twentieth century knows quite well that doing great evil is possible---the  violence of world war, systematic genocide and intentional mass starvation. Indeed, human history has again and again shown us exploitation,  abuse, murder and the callous enslavement of whole peoples. When we confront such evil, what are we, what might we or what should we seek, when we actually have the power to do so? Vengeance? Justice? Restitution and reparations?  Education and/or re-education toward true principles? Saving the good  by rescuing the victims of evil ?Reconciliation? Humanity has seen all of these, sometimes separately and sometimes jointly. 
 
Making it personal: Do any of these apply to evil done even in the smaller individual, familial, social or communal world in which we live? If so, when and how?

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

A simple truth: We sometimes have something important to say, a message that will make a difference in the lives of those we care about. Actually saying it, however, is not always easy. Although we seek fluency, we stammer. We seek  eloquence, but we just can't find exactly the right words. Which is more important elegance and grace in speech  or the meaning of the message that we send? Or, in the end, perhaps it is simply our reaching out that is most important. What we must never do is deny our message - however hard it is to speak it.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

 

Creating something new in our lives may mean that we  have to leave where, and even, who we are. In a sense, we need to become "strangers" to who we are and where we were. Sometimes we have to strike out in new directions, never to return; we leave childhood behind and never go back. Or, sometimes it is if we have been pushed out, exiled,  from our home in but having hopes of returning renewed and rebuilt. We may leave our childhood family but we hope to be "reunited" with them later at a higher level.  Paradoxically, there may even be projects which require us to leave our existing home--a kind of exile-- in order to seek a life that is or could become more truly and profoundly our home.  We accept exile from the comfort of the present moral limits of our character, seeking to "jump to a new a level"--- to a space in which we hope to find that we are more deeply at home ethically. Or, we may leave our home seeking or accepting a mission to better our world, hoping that this better world will be our new home. Why do we do this? Why accept the loss and the exile? Are we sometimes in pursuit of the fulfillment of deeper dreams, promises and possibilities? Or, do we sometimes feel that if we stay any longer, we will be forever trapped or lost? Or both? One thing is for sure: In life, long term treading water is a mistake.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Our mistakes, especially our moral errors, need to be rectified.  We remove our guilt by correcting our misdeeds. If we think of moral error as a form of sickness,  then we need to be cured of our disease, to be healed. Or, if we see our misdeeds as a breaking or shattering of our integrity, then we need to be fixed, repaired, even re-formed. Finally, when we focus on the damage done to others or to our environment, then we talk about making things good or right, even making others whole. 
 
Where does "punishment for immoral acts" fit into all this? Does chastisement as punishment heal or cure us? Is it a price we pay to make things right? Is it a kind  of re-formation?  Or, perhaps, our pain is connected to the visible signs of remorse that we need to show to others in order to be forgiven by them? 
 
These are not easy questions to answer. What we do know, however, is that "saying sorry"  can not be a free ride. The true remorse necessary for rectifying our immoral actions expects that there will be a price to be paid. Given the way that the world is, moral error and its rectification calls forth purgatorial suffering,  We really don't like it, but, in all honesty, anything less is superficial and pathetically self-exculpatory.  And, of course, once we finish the process, we are liberated; we are reconnected with others. We become free to live better lives. 
 
[Thoughts occasioned by reflection on the Biblical story of Joesph and his brothers.]

Chanukah Safety from West Side Hatzoloh

Dear Neighbor,

Here are some quick reminders to keep you and your family safe over Chanukah!

Lighting the Menorah:

  • Never leave Chanukah candles unattended!
  • Place the Menorah on a sturdy heat resistant surface away from anything that can catch fire including walls, curtains, cabinets, wooden and plastic tables, tablecloths, etc.
  • Light candles where they can’t be reached by children and where they won’t be knocked over
  • Keep surfaces and surrounding areas clear from burned matches, wick trimmings, oil residue, and other debris
  • Do not light “school project” Menorahs made from materials that can burn (wood, plastic, etc.)

Cooking Latkes:

  • Keep small children away from hot oil and cooking areas
  • Keep hands, hair and sleeves away from open flame
  • Use extra caution when carrying hot food around children
  • Designate ovens, stoves, and heat containing appliances as a “NO GO ZONE” for children
  • Never put water on a grease fire, use a fire extinguisher and call the Fire Department

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy Chanukah!

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Where do we find a certain depth of meaning in our lives? Most of the time,  we find it in the concrete experiences and possibilities of our daily lives. But, sometimes, for a moment, we aspire to dream big dreams--to dare, if just for an instant, to do something exceptional. However, as we act, we need to pay careful attention to the why of our imagined "great" possibilityIf we seek to do something extraordinary out of our of own vanity-because it is we who will be great--then we are actually contracting our focus. lessening who we are. But if we seek what is substantial  for others, or significant for "all of us", then, if only for a moment,  we are indeed changing the world-- making a kind of mini-renewal of creation.  
 
[Occasioned by Genesis [Bereishit 37:2ff])
 
May you and yours have a time of joy and light, freedom and rededication to all that you hold dear

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

When it comes to hurting others, we can't seem to help ourselves.  We make mistakes and our mistakes sometimes leave unfinished business behind us. We know  that we must take responsibility for what we have done to wrong others, even when it was unintentional or even necessary as the lesser of two evils.   Facing those we have wronged is difficult and sometimes frightening, especially when they are family or close friends,  A part of us wants to forget, to just pull the covers up over our heads. 
 
Sometimes  "forgetting" is possible, although difficult. But not always. Then we must live through the awful moment of returning to face the ones we have hurt and own the  consequences of our offenses, misdeeds and mistakes. When we do have to look our "victims"  in the eye, we may first try and "buy off"their pain and anger with gifts and even flattery.  When this fails, we pray for the courage  to stand up to their rebuke and condemnation and, if, no matter what we do, they seek revenge, we hope for the courage to confront and endure it successfully. After all, we cannot allow our life to collapse under the weight of our mistakes. In the end, if we are very fortunate, we may find reconciliation. And, if not, a bearable and safe way to part ways.
 
Reflections occasioned by Genesis 32:4-33:20 and the accompanying rabbinic exposition and commentary.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

To every thing there is a season and time for every purpose under heaven. There are times when we leave and know that we are never to return. There are times when we know we must not leave, we must stay. And there are times when we leave, knowing that we will return after the purpose of our journey has been fulfilled. On these  journeys we have a purpose in mind but we often find that we have in fact been assigned a more profound task . We were quite unaware of this task when we set out and then, along the way, we are "interrupted" by a  much greater possibility.And we pause, take in that a new vista has been opened to us and think: This is truly the place where heaven meets earth and I did not know it. I vow to keep the promise of this special experience with me as I continue on my journey, knowing that it will be with me until I return home. 

 
Thoughts occasioned by Genesis 28:10-22

Hashkama Minyan | Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Most of us see that there is evil in the world. Evil is a moral category and we moderns and postmoderns are fairly comfortable with moral categories. But we are far less at home with the idea that some actions or objects spiritually befoul, contaminate and pollute our world. That there are somehow  "impure forces" --different from the powers that corrupt us morally--at work around us blocking our way to what we might call " our sacred centers", that is, the places where we encounter or commune with " the transcendent".  Awareness of such  impure realities---taboo/tumah-- are all over  pre-modern cultures. We moderns seem to be tone deaf or color blind when it comes to perceiving them. The best we might be able to say is that, to the extent that the fullness of life is associated with what is sacred to us, there are also actions, objects and situations linked to death---decay, corpses, diseases, weapons. And,  there are realities and illusions that join these " impure forces" with moral corruption and , in the end, kill us, keep us from being who we are when we are profoundly in touch with what connects us to the transcendent. They are the lies, the deceits, the abuses of power, the moments of indifference to the suffering of others that yield the deepest evils--exploitation, oppression even genocide--that are somehow more that morally evil or corrupt--that are "impure and polluting". 
 
Thoughts occasioned by the rabbinic and mystical commentaries on Genesis 25: 22.23, and Malachi 1 and 2.

Hashkama Minyan | Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Most of us want to leave a moral and, even a spiritual, legacy, We want the values and ideals that we lived for to continue after us. I suppose that for many of us this is also true in the short run. When one stage or step in our life is finishing we want what we have worked for to be continued by the people who come after us, even though we have moved on.   Leaving a legacy means finding "an heir"--one or more people who replace us. It's more than the issue of succession in organizational leadership.  We are looking for people who will "keep the promise". 
 
How are we to select those who will inherit our moral and spiritual legacy?  Some chose their immediate or extended family. They try and  keep leadership within their "clan".  Others trust their legacy to the people of a particular place--their city, their region, their country.  Finally, many believe that having good character is the most important factor in selecting who will continue their moral and spiritual legacy. Most of us would like to have all three--family members of good character who will continue to live where we did.
 
In our changing and mobile world, however, family, place and character do not always go together.  So we have to decide:  What is the most important ? Not an easy task, but if we want to make a lasting difference, in the short and in the long run, we have to try.  And what happens if , as so often is the case, we don't choose those who will come after us or we want those to whom we expect to leave our legacy to make their own choices, have their own ideals?  My own experience has been that, looking back, those who followed built on what I had done,  Whether it is what I would have done, or even what I would  have wanted them to do, has not turned our to be all that important. What has been most significant is that they made something good out of what I left to them.

Hashkama Minyan | Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Life is not just staying put. Sometimes we are in motion. And when we are on the road, we are most often looking for something--a moment of beauty, an interesting encounter, an unexpected insight. Finding what we seek takes a lot of patience. We have to learn to wait, to be open to the unexpected appearance of a intellectual-emotional-spiritual moment when things fall into place. Even then there is always an imperfection in our vision, an anomaly or a craziness in our world which reminds us that we need to continue our journey, that we can not just settle down with "our truth". For in that moment, and just for that moment, we must surrender the past, we must refuse to look back toward where we have been and only look forward toward where this present encounter or vision is taking us. If we don't, we fix and harden. But if we do push on forward into what is yet unknown, then despite even grave errors, we will create  new realities---imperfect realities to be sure, but--please excuse the cliche-- they will be steps toward a better world.

Parsha Thought by Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard

Sometimes things feel so thoroughly bad, even wasted, that we wish we could start all over again. These are the days when we dream of turning our world over completely. At these moments, we hope, even aspire,  to profoundly recreate our whole lives. While I do not wish to discourage anyone who can, in fact, become a saint through a radical act of sheer will, I have to say that, in general, most of us can't become a different person or have a completely new life. And , truth be told, we shouldn't seek this. Real change, genuine moral and spiritual growth, is gradual and necessarily connected to the good that we have already achieved. For me and my friends, the moral and spiritual life is made up  of ongoing little acts of self re-creation that renew, expand and increase the good we have done.

RABBI'S NOTES

  • Social Distancing guidelines are still enforced at all minyanim. Please self check symptoms at home. Masks must be worn at all times on premises. If you do not feel well, or are awaiting test results - stay home.
  • Community Leining: We will discharge the 'Tzibbur's' obligation to hear the Parshios that were missed in the Spring by distributing the leining throughout the final days of Shemini Atzeres & Simchas Torah. 
  • Aravos: Have been generously donated this year. Contributions are still welcome - please deposit them in the drop boxes in the Bet Medrash lobby or Office Door, or make an online payment at www.OZNY.org/Payment.php
  • Hoshanos: 7 Circuits will be conducted around the Bima in each minyan. They will be limited to 5 (Beis Medrash) to 18 (Main Shul) men depending on the location of the minyan. Those comfortable participating should take turns at each circuit. Only 1 Torah will be taken out. 
  • Hakafos: Like Hoshanos, Hakafos will be limited to the number of participants. We will sing one song, and have 1 Short Dvar Torah at each Hakafa from members of the community.
  • Kol Nearim: Parents are asked to keep their children with them at their side
  • Simchas Torah Aliyos: Both the Hashkama and the Main Minyanim will conduct only 5 Aliyas, plus the Chasan Maftir, Chasan Torah, and Chasan Bereishis. The Main Shul will host Aliyas as well for the additional missed Parshios to be read throughout Yom Tov.

Parsha Points by Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard

Traditionally, spirituality, especially "spiritual action", clears our thoughts and "cleanses" our character. Of course, this "purification" is limited by the scope of our action. Performing rituals only affects the objects, people, ideas  and feelings that are connected to the ritual. A "ritualized |" breakfast may improve the morning, the day, the participants and , to a limited extent, their co=workers and friends.  But it does not go beyond the limits. If the focus of the spirituality/spiritual action. is expanded to " how we are living" as a whole--meals, rest and recreation, etc.---it offers the possibility of clearing purifying our lives in general--our thoughts, our imagination , our character. Sometimes, we need a week of "spiritual living". "Purity of heart" is not easy to come by, but the wider the scope of our spiritual vision and practice, the more we can move toward this ideal. We ask ourselves: How does what are we doing, how are we living, clear away what does not belong--the alibis and excuses, the soothing falsehoods, the confusing fantasies and temptations, the compromising urges, and the self-seeking orientation?

Parsha Points by Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard: Thoughts at this Time of Self-examination

As human beings, we are responsible for ourselves and our actions. This means, among other things, that we need to make up for the damage we have done to others--their person, their feelings, their dignity, and their property. Here are just some of the thoughts I had that are taken from the first chapter of the Talmud Tractate Bava Kamma that deals with damages and damagers.  I have found it helpful. I hope that you will too. 

On the whole, we need to repair / compensate others who have been damaged by anything for which we are responsible and over which we have control--typically this means property/animals/our body. I think that we should also think about the damage we have done through hurtful language and behavior.  This includes:

a. damage we have done by creating in our world/society realities that constitute physical, emotional, intellectual, moral  or spiritual "dangers" .. potentially harmful ideas, situations, experiences. 

b. we need to pay careful attention to damage that we did by initiating something which, joined with other forces around us, took on a life of its own and hurt others--snide comments, mockery of others, , gossip, etc.

c. We need to be careful about those to whom we entrust the things and powers for which we are responsible. Are they people who are worthy of our trust? Do they have the necessary capabilities? 

d. We need to be aware of the damage we cause simply by using our natural powers in the world in a commonly accepted fashion.. Just because ti is the custom/nature of humanity to act in these ways does not mean that we shouldn't look for alternatives that do not cause. Self seeking behavior is natural to humans, and we can't be taken to court for the damage that sometimes happens to others just from our doing so, but we still need to think carefully about how being " human only too human" can hurt others.

e.  We need to be aware of some motives for damage: 

Sometimes we simply intend to cause  damage.. hurting people just to show our power.   

Sometimes we are caught up in seeking our own pleasure , although this ends up hurting  others 

Sometimes we are "just following our nature" and the pain of others is  "collateral damage". 

Sometimes we are just too busy, self-involved or distracted to notice if others are being hurt. 

May we all work to merit a good life. 

In this season of the Jewish New Year may we all be written and sealed in the book of life.
