HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

Usually, we are aware of where we are. When we sit in our living room, we recognize the walls, the furniture, the sounds, etc. and we know that we are at home. But this is not always true. Someone can be inside the Empire State Building in New York City and, if they miss the sign, be unaware of where they are. Knowing where we are can be important. Imagine being at Niagara Falls, The White House, the Eiffel Tower, or the Western Wall and not knowing it. 

​​​​​​​Ask yourself: What do you see that tells you that you are in a spiritually important place?

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

We want to be good people. And, as a result, we regret some of our actions. But why are we sorry that we did them? Five classic options have been offered.

Option 1: We regret what we did because it has brought about painful consequences for us.  This means that, if the cost of our mistake were somehow gone, we would not really regret having done it. We regret the results, not the deed. We control ourselves in the future because we are afraid of what will happen if we don't.  

Option 2:  Our act interrupted, damaged, or destroyed a personal relationship that is important to us. If the relationship were actually unaffected by what we did, we would not regret it.  We are careful in the future because we fear causing problems in the relationship. 

Option 3: We feel that we have failed to live up to being the kind of human being we want to be, or at least that we are striving to be. Our attachment to our values is important for us, and even if there were no particular negative consequences, we would still regret having done this act. We change our behavior, in an attempt to be the best person that we can be.

Option 4:  We feel that what we have done separates us from the deep spiritual reality of our world as we understand it. We stop because we wish to maintain a good relationship with the spiritual meaning of our lives. 

Option 5: We love our world and the creation/creator,  and what we did puts us out of sync with them. We regret our behavior because it separates us from [the] One we love and/or from  Being.  

In Jewish tradition, now is a good time to review our lives and set things right. Which options work for you?  For which actions?

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

Concern for the world and our life in it is an essential orienting spiritual attitude that characterizes prayer on Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year. What might this mean? 

Concern might mean seeking a world where the Divine can be named and brought into a relationship with the individual and group challenges we face.

Concern might mean understanding our actions as so vital that we both fear getting it wrong and are also amazed and inspired by our possibilities. We seek to join with all creation to discover and express the spiritual meaning of reality.

Concern might mean hoping for redemption, and it might mean honoring and seeking the ideal possibilities of our world.

Concern might mean rejoicing when righteousness triumphs and evil is frustrated.

Reflections on the liturgy for the Jewish New Year.

At this time of the Jewish New Year, I wish you and all those you love and care for  health\, happiness and the sweetness of a life well lived.

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

What can we do if we have an overwhelming urge to do something we believe is wrong? Most of the time, we are not facing this question. But sometimes, we want to say hurtful things to others, especially those we love. Or, we want to cheat on an exam, our taxes, or our spouse. Usually, self-control is sufficient. We stay silent; we focus on our exams; we report our income and keep faith with those we love. But sometimes, the urge seems beyond our control. What then? 


Here is a paradoxical possibility. Imagine that you can find a way to do what you want but  first you must  think of or even act out a way that will make doing it far less attractive. You can cheat, but you must first write on a separate paper, "I am cheating on this exam and will not sign a statement that I have neither given nor received aid on this test" You can cheat on your taxes, but you must tell your accountant that you are under-reporting your income, etc. The goal is to slow things down and spoil the imagined pleasure. 


Will it work? Maybe. But it's way ahead of just giving in to urges that will make you feel ashamed.

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

When we do not know the right thing to do,  even if we are experts, we rely on the opinion of those who know more than we do. We often simp[ly do what they say. Doctors, lawyers, professors, and car mechanics usually follow advice from those with more knowledge or experience. When making important life decisions---jobs, relationships, and spiritual growth-however, we may seek input but, in the end, feel that we have to do what we personally think is best. Why?

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

Sometimes love is a matter of the heart. We love what we are emotionally or erotically attached to. Other times it’s a matter of mind. We analyze, understand, are impressed, and appreciate the unique quality of someone or something. Still, other times, love is a matter of will. We love someone because we are ethically obligated to do so.
 
Why not all three? Will: We should love our children.  Heart: As a rule, we also feel especially attached to them. Mind: As they grow, we may come to appreciate the quality of their character and achievements.  Can you think of other relationships that begin with obligation, move toward understanding and expand into deep feelings of love?

Reflections on Deuteronomy 6:5

RABBI'S GUIDELINES

• There are no food restrictions in the meal (Shalosh Seudos) before the fast: we may have meat, wine, and any number of dishes. We may eat in a large groups and bentsch with a mezuman. No symbolicly mournful foods are eaten.
• Shalosh Seudos should conclude before sunset (8:06pm), which is when the fast starts. Shabbos Mincha at OZ will meet early (5:00pm) to facilitate the timing of this meal. Maariv will begin at 9:05pm
• Shoes worn for Tisha B’Av should be prepared before Shabbos. If one forgot to prepare shoes in advance, recite ‘HaMavdil’ at 8:56pm and wear them to shul.
• Ata Chonantanu is recited at Maariv, but Havdala is made after the fast. No melacha should be performed until after Maariv or reciting Hamavdil. Only Borei Morei HaEish is recited on Motzei Shabbos, preferably before Eichah.
• If one must eat or drink during the Fast, Havdala should be recited first over Orange or Apple Juice - not Wine or Grape Juice. This Havdalah begins with Shehakol and skips Besamim.
• Nursing mothers or pregnant women who are disturbed by the effects of the fast should please ask for specific details about how to approach the fast.
• After the Fast, we may not eat until Havdala, which begins with Borei Pri haGefen, skipping Besmamim and HaEish. Ata Chonantanu is not recited in Maariv after Tisha B’Av, and Kiddush Levana is recited Sunday night.
• Restrictions conclude with the Fast — But Do not have Meat or Wine at Break-fast

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

Law exists to order our society in just ways and direct our most profound spiritual and moral aspirations. For some of us, this makes the law a blessing. For others, it's just something to live with. However, there are always those who resent the law because they resent all power, especially power that keeps them from getting exactly what they want. They are contentious and troublesome. They disrespect the law and judges, whether or not it is deserved. Why, then, do leaders and judges agree to do their jobs? The best do so because they feel a moral and spiritual call to institute justice and support our highest aspirations. O.K. It's a cliche, But some cliches are important to think about. 

Reflections on Deuteronomy 1:12 and rabbinic commentary there.

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

We know what comes with a meaningful life journey. There are the necessary efforts, commitments, and difficult decisions; there are the risks, the failures, and the successes. 
We have our disappointments and our celebrations. 

We also set aside special times for reflection on our life journey. We struggle with our mistakes, large and small, and work to correct them and make up for them. 

Sometimes, we can't help but get discouraged. 

How do we avoid the deep sadness and discouragement that comes with seeing that we keep "getting it wrong"? One answer worth thinking about: The joy of our life journey comes from our faith in our ongoing spiritual process of expanding self-awareness and self-renewal. 

Reflections on the Jewish High Holiday season

SECURITY MESSAGE

Dear Friends,

This week we all witnessed multiple acts of violence and hate. All of us are sometimes at a loss to understand how and why these evil acts occur and continue to occur with seemingly no end in sight. I believe that there are nearly always common patterns which repeat themselves over and over again - and that our path towards stemming this scourge is in recognizing the patterns and making sure that those who would commit violence are denied the means and liberty to carry them out. To be clear - I'm not taking a political stand but rather a practical one. 

As I've stated many times before in letters like this - there is a TON you can do to help keep your friends and neighbors safe. 

To date nearly every single violent act we've sadly grown accustomed to seeing on the news has been planned. Part of the planning nearly always involves a certain amount of research and reconnaissance. The shooter in Highland Park wanted to target synagogues but found them to be rather difficult targets mostly due to the alert and proactive security teams. 

You know where I'm going with this. 

We've been fortunate to have a very astute and engaged team at OZ. But I need your help to ensure our continued safety and security. 

You don't have to have krav maga skills or really do anything more than help us be yet another set of eyes and ears in and around OZ. 

It doesn't require a commitment beyond rudimentary training (non-physical) and the time you can offer both inside and perhaps outside our magnificent shul. 

If you are interested please contact me and I'll be happy to help you help all of us. 

Many thanks,

Jeff Korenman

Chair, Security Committee / CSS

The OZ Men's Daf Yomi Shiur was started in 1997 and has a rotation of different Maggedei Shiur led by Rabbi Allen Schwartz and Rabbi Shlomo Gottesman. Since inception we have completed learning Talmud Bavli together more than 3 times! 

During the week the shiur starts at 7am and you can participate both remotely and in person in the classrooms Friday through Monday (Tuesday - Thursday are only remote; we will resume in person throughout the week once the Bais Midrash re-opens). On Shabbat the shiur takes place between Mincha & Ma'ariv and on Sunday the start time is 8:45am. The weekday start time enables attendees to attend either the 6:10am or 8am Shacharit services (ie. before or after the shiur). For those attending remotely, the dial-in for the shiur is (425) 535-9424. Anyone interested in learning more about the shiur can speak with Zachary Prensky (646-588-8175 or Zach@Prensky.com) - or visit www.OZNY.org/Event/Daf.

HASHKAMA - RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB

We fill our days with demanding tasks that give meaning and purpose to our lives. But they can also distract us. As the cliche goes, they can live us rather than we live them. Nonetheless, the demands and pleasures of life sometimes keep us from experiencing anxiety-provoking thoughts or impulses. Other times, however, being so busy and distracted means losing access to moments that bring profound insights. Is the "noise" of life good or bad? If your world became a desert and went silent, what would emerge? Why?
