Last week, just before the last days of Yom Tov, I sent out a reminder of a program called "11 for 11." This was a call for us to invite 11 guests over the year in memory of the 11 kedoshim who were killed in Pittsburgh, perform 11 acts of chesed in their merit, and to remember them at Yizkor. Then the tragic news came right after Yom Tov of the savage attack at the Chabad of Poway that same day.
Let us add the name of Lori Gilbert Kaye, of blessed memory, who heroically protected her rabbi, and rename our program "12 for 12."
Let us also have the names of the three wounded worshippers in mind in our prayers. They are Rav Yisrael ben Chana Priva, Noya bat Eden, and Almog ben Ruti.
At 11:23am Shabbat morning, exactly one week to the moment from the attack we will break in shul for a moment of silence and we will sing Acheinu. There will also be a gathering tomorrow at Chabad of the West Side at 97th and Amsterdam Ave. between 12 noon and 2pm.
Please also consider writing a letter of support to the Goldstein and Kaye families. These letters can be sent c/o Chabad of Poway, 16934 Chabad Way, Poway, CA 92064.
The office arranged for a thorough Security Review this past week. President Ari Weitzner and the Officers of OZ will convene an executive meeting this week to review updating protocal and upgrading systems, and a discussion will continue at the General Membership BBQ Meeting at the end of May.
Our best response to this is to get closer to another Jew. Avoid Lashon Hara, Avoid conflict. The gunman wants us defeated, divided, and weakened. We will be stronger, united, and closer to one another.
Finally, Seudah Shlishit has been anonymously dedicated to Lori Gilbert Kaye, may her memory be a blessing.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Allen Schwartz

The terror attack in San Diego reinforces the same basic themes.
Firstly, we are very, very safe. These kinds of attacks are the exceptions that prove the rule. The odds of getting attacked are still one in a million.
Second, terrorists pick easy targets. They do reconnaissance and plan ahead. A shul that has a visible presence outside, of professional-looking people keeping an eye on things, is exactly the kind of shul a would-be terrorist would prefer to avoid.
That being said ... WE STILL NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS!
I implore you to please sign up - we are talking about the safety of you, your friends, and your loved ones. Please note - all volunteers will be waived the Security Fee. Email css@ozny.org for more information.
Again - please give serious thought to signing up for CSS. Now is the time. (For you singles- being on CSS is a great way to mingle with other singles!) Email to CSS@ozny.org.
At the Spring Membership Meeting at the end of May, we will discuss upgrades to our security equipment infrastructure and updates to our security protocol.

The news of the last few days requires our attention.
The New York Times Anti-Semitic cartoon that appeared this week is a cruel reminder of the lies told about us in Der Strumer in Germany in the early 1930’s. The gas chambers and crematoria in Europe did not exist in a vacuum in the 1940’s. They were prepared for years with the lies of the 1930’s.
The apologies of the Times are disingenuous. This cartoon had to be seen by many editors in order to make it to the screen. Only a full evaluation and change of policy at the Times can make up for decades of distorted reporting on Israel. Who is to know if this despicable caricature influenced the murderer this past week at the Chabad center in Poway, Calif. The New York Times shamefully hid all reporting of the Holocaust to the back pages during World War II.
I call this to your attention just days before Yom Hashoa, when we have heightened sensitivity about these issues.
Please note the below information about a rally and demonstration to be held today at 5:30pm in front of the NYT building at 41st St. and 8th Ave.
Spread the word.

PROTEST AT NEW YORK TIMES AGAINST ANTI-SEMITIC CARTOON - Demonstrators To Call For Firing Of People Responsible
A number of Jewish organizations will hold a protest on Monday, April 29 at 5:30 PM at The New York Times, located at 620 Eighth Avenue (41 Street) against the Anti-Semitic cartoon which was recently published in the newspaper.
Protestors will gather to express outrage about the newspaper publishing an anti-Semitic cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dog on a leash held by a blind President Donald Trump wearing a skullcap.
Protestors will gather and call for the firing of editors and individuals responsible for this publication.
The Coalition for Jewish Concerns, Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI), and a coalition of other organizations are organizing.
Those gathered will also pray for the victims of the San Diego synagogue shooting.
As we prepare for the last days of Yom Tov and Yizkor, I'd like to remind of an initiative I wrote about earlier in the year. We always react to tragedy by turning, to the best of our ability, every setback into something positive and every stumbling block into a stepping stone. We as a community are committed to remember the tragedy of the 11 Jews in Pittsburgh who were murdered in Shul on Shabbos morning. Our brothers and sisters around the world sought many ways to memorialize them. I am asking again that everyone join in a program called "11 for 11" - meaning we invite one person to our tables corresponding to each person that was lost. Alternatively, we should take upon ourselves to perform one act of kindness corresponding to each victim.
Please contact me if you would like to take part in this exceptional way to remember our dear departed at Yizkor this week.

In the wake of the recent news of measles outbreaks in the New York area, I remind our community of the unequivocal position of today’s rabbinic authorities who insist that children receive the full regimen of vaccinations to protect from life-threatening outbreaks of preventable diseases.
In matters concerning such serious issues of public health, we ask that everyone demonstrate the proper consideration for the well-being of the community.
If anyone has any questions on this matter, please call me directly at the shul office.
Wishing you all a peaceful and pleasant Shabbat,

I am inviting our entire community to join in a 2 week program that will coincide with the reading of Parshat Tazria and Metzora. These Torah portions are dedicated largely to the malady of tzara’at, considered by our sages to be the consequence of slander. Slander reveals what should be concealed, so the consequence is a skin disorder, which appears anywhere, even in places that are normally concealed. The program is called “Lashon Hara Out” and it asks everyone to avoid speaking or hearing lashon hara on Shabbat Parshat Tazria, (Apr.5-6) and Shabbat Parshat Metzora, (Apr.12-13). It’s very simple. If we hear or begin speaking lashon hara, we remember our participation in the “Lashon Hara Out” and we change the subject. Hopefully, by the 3rd week, we will grow accustomed to banishing slander from our midst altogether. The Talmud teaches that slander drives away the Divine Presence. In these turbulent times, we need the protection of that presence in our midst. Let’s do our part. Remember, Great people talk about ideas, Middle-of-the-road people talk about things and little people talk about other people. Let’s not belittle anyone.
Wishing you all a peaceful and pleasant Shabbat,
Rabbi Allen Schwartz

Israel is teeming with parents and high school seniors checking out Yeshivas for next year. People my age used to spend winter vacation at Grossinger's or in Florida. Now a popular vacation spot is return to your Yeshiva for a week of learning. We planted 26 trees this week with our grandchildren to fulfill the mitzva of settling the land of Israel. Tu B'shvat is really celebrated here. I have actually seen the budding almonds.
We walked in the valley where David confronted Goliath, we drove right up to the place where our ancestors crossed the Yarden into Israel, and we separated tithes from Israeli produce. We found pottery from the First Temple period, and stood at a monument for the "lamed he" heroic soldiers, 70 years to the day after they were killed bringing supplies to a besieged community in the Gush Etzion area. There is history at every step.
Have a great Shabbos!

All major airports greet arrivals with various cutouts of the word "WELCOME" in flora and fauna or some other type of creative design. Only one airport welcomes us with the words,"Blessed are those who have come here" - in two Hebrew words, ברוכים הבאים.
Alisa and our family in Israel join me in wishing you all a blessed Shabbos of peace and tranquility.

This past Shabbat, a woman was accidentally pushed to the ground at the Kiddush in the Bet Medrash. Although she had to be rushed to the emergency room, Baruch Hashem she is fine and fully recovered.
I take this opportunity to remind everyone to please exercise caution and patience at the Kiddush, especially when the room is very crowded.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rabbi Allen Schwartz
