SHAVUOT: TANACH THEMES
Throughout Shavuot, the Festival of our Celebration of Matan Torah, Rabbi Schwartz will discuss the overarching themes of the books of the Nevi’im. He will discuss the prevalence of stories and prophecies so fraught with failure, loss, disobedience, misfortune, setbacks, and rivalries. We will conclude with a Biblical prescription of how we contend with all this adversity.

Important Message from Rabbi Schwartz
Shalom friends,
This past week, Barnard University students voted in favor of a referrendum encouraging its Board and Administration to divest from several companies that do business with Israel.
As strong advocates of Israel, we are unequivocally against the BDS movement.
We strongly urge all Barnard alumni to sign the petition (link below) urging Barnard's President and Board to reject this referrendum.
http://barnardalumsunited.com
Kol tuv,
Rabbi Allen Schwartz
Shabbat Shemirat HaLashon
The verse read this Shabbat in Vayikra 19:16 – “Lo telech rachil b’ameicha” “...Do not go out as a talebearer among your people…” is the central Mitzvah of Shemirat HaLashon
The Shabbos Table Machshom L’Fi unites participants in an effort to avoid Loshon Hora and Ona’as Devarim during the Shabbos meal — freeing everyone to enjoy the uplifting atmosphere created by conversation that is positive and life-enhancing.
A Machsom L’fi is a program in which people commit themselves to focusing for a set period of time each day on the proper use of their power of speech as defined in the Torah. During that time, they concentrate on avoiding speaking and hearing loshon hora, gossip, slander, ona’as devarim (hurtful words), or any other form of angry or negative expression. Often, a Machsom L’fi is undertaken as a zechus for someone who is in need of refuah, a shidduch, children, parnassah or a personal yeshuah.
With the Shabbos Table Machsom L'fi, we hold the power to combine these two vibrant streams of brachah each week by joining with Jews across the globe who are making a focused effort to bring the Torah's spirit of positive speech to their Shabbos table.
When you exercise this particular “spiritual muscle” at your meals, building control over your speech, you enhance your ability to keep the mitzvah throughout the week. The reason it is done as a merit for someone in need is because when we act compassionately by avoiding and rejecting loshon hora, Hashem responds to our compassion measure for measure, showering His compassion upon us and our loved ones.
Shmiras Haloshon is a great protection for us and our community, as it states in Mishlei (21:23), "One who guards his mouth and tongue … guards his soul from troubles."
