Dear friends,

We are proud to join together with our rabbinic colleagues in urging you to vote in the upcoming primaries on June 22, 2021.

The importance of ensuring strong government leadership in New York City for the next four years cannot be overstated, especially in light of the very difficult period the city has endured since the pandemic struck. We cannot stand on the sidelines. Every vote counts, and our community can make a difference.

As Rabbis we are apolitical, and it’s not our place to endorse a specific candidate. But it is our responsibility to care for our community. And this election could have an enormous impact on our community, our synagogues, and our schools. Voting is a civic responsibility and opportunity, and we urge you to vote in this election.

This year we are tasked to rank our choices. Selecting more than one candidate will enable you to have your vote weigh in more than if you had voted for a single candidate. Click here to learn about ranked voting.

Starting this weekend, you can vote early, and early voting runs from June 12th – 20th. Click here to find your early voting site. If you will be away on June 22nd, click here to get your vote-by-mail ballot.

Sincerely,

Aviad Bodner, Congregation Ramat Orah
Naftali Citron, The Carlebach Shul
Roy Feldman, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Wealth is a blessing. It can provide care and security for those we love. It can help feed, house and provide medical care for the poor and those in need. But it carries risks as well. It can distract us from living lives of transcendent value. It might make us feel that we are better than others or that we are more deserving of social or political power, It can even undermine our motivation to work and achieve. As Solomon noted: "Here is a grave evil I have observed under the sun: riches hoarded by their owner to his misfortune" {Ecclesiastes 5:12], I grant you that I have said nothing profound. Still, sometimes a simple truth is worth recollecting and remembering. [Derived from rabbinic Reflections on Numbers 16:1]

DIVREI TORAH

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Growing up means learning to live on our own--make our own decisions and choices, deal with the demands of life, find a sense of meaning for ourselves. And yet, if we have a strong web of family, friendship and community relationships, then we do not actually live on our own. Our family, friends, and community are a part of what we choose and decide, how we meet the challenges of life and the meaning that we find in our lives. In this sense, "growing up" means learning how to be. a part of the important relationships in our world- how to navigate and negotiate them. Much the same may be true of our relationship to spiritual transcendence. It is in relationship with the divine that we make our important choices, find meaning in our world and meet life's challenges. [Based on reflections on Numbers 13:1]

Realize your Own Value as a Person - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, Growth Through Torah

“And we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” The Kotzker Rebbe said that the spies’ mistake was in the words “and so we were in their sight”; that is, it shouldn’t bother a person how others view him. One can never rest if his/her self-esteem is dependent on others’ approval. Keep your focus on doing what is right and proper and work on mastering your self-image (being ever cognizant of the fact your intrinsic value as being created in Hashem’s image) regardless of how others view you. The Chofetz Chaim said, “when you view yourself as inferior, you will assume that others also view you as inferior; but the truth could well be that the other person views you in a much higher manner”.

Not “If” But “How” - Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twersky z'l, Living Each Week

Why was the mission of the spies in this week’s Parsha so disastrous, whereas the mission of the spies sent by Joshua was so successful? The former went to see whether the land was conquerable. Although G-d had assured them that they would receive the land, they did not have trust in Him, and they deliberated whether or not the Divine word was reliable. The latter, on the other hand, had no doubt about their ultimate triumph. Their mission was merely to determine the best method for entering the land (i.e., how to implement G-d’s will). If one questions whether or not to obey the Divine will, there will be no scarcity of reasons why not to do so. If, however, one is determined to follow G-d’s instructions and seeks only how one can best do so, one’s efforts will be blessed with success.

DVAR TORAH

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

We have positive qualities that make us uniquely valuable and important to the people in our particular world.---intelligence, insight, kindness, well-organized, well-connected, generosity, patience, etc. We are known for one or more of these qualities and people see us as special because we have them. How would we feel if others began to have them as well? --if we were no longer the smartest or the kindest or the most helpful or the most generous? Would it seem as if they encroached on our territory? Would we feel "less special" and resent them for it? Or would we rejoice in the increase in the good qualities that make our world wonderful to be in?

24TH PRECINCT & CSS APPRECIATION

Shalom friends,

So much of what we do in Shul involves praise and gratitude. I hope you will join with me this Shabbos morning as we honor our local Police Precinct. We will be joined by members of the 24* as well as NYPD officers from around NYC.

I don't need to tell you that the police and other first responders are a critical link in keeping us safe - especially in an environment which has become more and more volatile recently. We can never know what a word or encouragement and an open hand means for any essential worker.

As I always say "a smile is a small curve that can set a lot of things straight."

Looking forward to seeing you there.

With great appreciation,

Jeffrey Korenman
CSS Team Leader OZ

DVAR TORAH

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

All of us have the ability to make a difference in the lives of others. How we choose to do so is very important. There are two very different ways to do so. Sometimes, we enter the lives of others and offer support, guidance, concern and love. Then, we leave. In other circumstances, we actually identify and live with others. Then our support, guidance and concern builds an ongoing common life. Both are important. The trick is to know when and with whom to do each one of them.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Have you ever had a moment which you might describe as "the heavens opened and I knew what I had to do"? It was a kind of "revelation" and you acted on it. Has it always worked out for the best? Perhaps, most of the time it has but ,then, sometimes it hasn't. We may feel that we " have" to do something, we do it and then , upon reflection, we see that there were better options that we simply failed to see because we were carried away by the sheer power of that moment when we felt as if the heavens opened for us. We don't want to simply make up our own world, so we learn to share our insights with others. We see what they think.. We study the wisdom that we have inherited. We try to understand that wisdom and see if it confirms what we have experienced. At the end of the day, however, we are responsible for our own lives and must choose what we are to do. These moments when the heavens open are a great blessing--especially if we are able to work together with others to understand what they mean.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

For many rabbinic thinkers, the classical Jewish belief in a Creator of the world/universe reinforces a social ethic of human mutuality and support, as well as encouraging a special concern for protecting and sustaining our environment, the natural world. They connect the deliberate cessation of most agricultural activity every seven years [Shemittah] with all of these three: a Creator, an ethics of mutual support and practical benefits to our environment and the agriculture it sustains. In their minds, a Divine Creator cares for the natural world he has formed and the people he has fashioned.

Perhaps, we should think about the worlds that we create around us, individually and as a society:

Are they built on mutual respect and support, on the value of the people with whom we live?
Are they sustained by a special concern for preserving and protecting our part of our social and natural world?
Do we regularly make space for our own little world to regenerate?

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Do we moderns believe in demonic beings, forces, or realms? We do often believe in the dangerous power of acts of profound wickedness and of those that perpetrate them---Hitler, Stalin. Their strength can not be ignored, nor, it seems, can it ever be definitively eradicated. Just when we think that the monster is dead, it rears once again its grotesque and destructive head. At its worst, at its most cynical, this demon mocks and undermines the special value of human life, individually and collectively. And we find that. a part of each of us can become caught up in it. We can end up treating others as being there only or at least primarily, for our individual pleasure or in order to meet our personal needs. But it becomes complicated. If we do not give the devil of narcissism a bit of his due, if we try to totally suppress him, most of us find that he returns with a vengeance, much worse than before. It is worth asking: As individuals, as communities as a society, can or should we "buy off" this part pf who we are, this "realm of the demonic that hides in the corners of our lives? If so, how?

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Here is an exercise: Think about a difficult moment in your life--a time in which you felt sure that you would lose something or someone, or suffer some other hardship.. Then, suddenly there was an unexpected turn of events and you were saved, almost as if by a miracle. What, or who, brought about the unanticipated relief? Was it that you had a new idea? Or, did circumstances change? or did someone else appear and help you? The most exciting "rescues" often come from the acts of outsiders, people who dare to do or think what conventional wisdom excludes or forbids. Have you ever been the "outsider" who saves someone in trouble?

Reflections on II Kings 7:3-20

Shlissel Challah (Challahs & Keys or Bagels & Lox!?)

The first Shabbos after Pesach there is a custom to bake Challah with a key ("shlissel") inside or in the shape of a key as a segulah for Parnassah.

In honor of Schlissel Challah, we've asked Rebbetzin Alisa Schwartz to include the recipe for her popular Whole Wheat Honey Challah:

Mix the following in a warm place so that the yeast will poof:
- 6 packets active dry yeast
- 2 tsps sugar
- 4 cups lukewarm water

In another bowl mix:
- 2 cups honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 large eggs
- 2 cups vegtable oil
- 8 cups whole wheat flour
- 9 cups bread flour

When yeast is bubbly (poofed) add to mixture and mix dough until it is not sticky

Let dough rise for at least 2-3 hours in a warm place covered.

Then knead the dough and shape and let rise again.

This recipe can be braided or made as pull apart challah.

For shlissel challah either shape the dough into the shape of a key or take a key and cover with parchment paper and stick it into the dough after shaping while rising. Nothing will happen to the key if you bake it in the dough in parchment paper

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

We create initiation ceremonies that mark our entrance into the special roles that characterize what is meaningful to us---becoming partnered, becoming parents, starting a career, finding a sacred task, etc. But points of entry contain not only great promise. If we get them wrong, they also bring risks and even dangers---the ruined wedding or awful first year, the over anxious new parent, getting off on the wrong foot at the job, misunderstanding who we are in the drama of holy living.We might be be clumsy, anxious and self-involved when we need to be skillful, calm and altruistic. Not easy to do. But, we can't spend our lives hiding in order to be safe. We can't narrow our lives by being overly cautious when offered good possibilities. So we may on our initiation ceremonies to carry us through.

Guest Parsha Point - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin (Growth Through Torah)

When you love wisdom, you will have joy for the wisdom of others. “And Moshe heard and it was good in his eyes.” Sforno comments on this verse: Moshe felt joy upon hearing Aharon’s reasoning. He was pleased that Aharon was correct in his decision. People who have wisdom will derive pleasure when they come up with an original idea or when they find that they are correct in some intellectual matter. But, it is a rare quality to have such a love of wisdom that one derives pleasure when another person comes up with a good idea. What was special about Moshe’s joy was that he himself made an error and Aharon was right. Many people would be upset that they had made a mistake. But not Moshe. He was joyful that his brother had an awareness of truth, even though this meant that he was wrong. Moshe’s love of wisdom should serve as a model to strive for.

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Life takes us places, often places we don't plan to stay very long. But somehow we do stay, often longer than we expected. We keep on living in cities, in apartments or in houses that we wanted to leave. We just hold onto jobs or careers or relationships long after we think we should have pulled out.

Why? Are we afraid of the unknown, preferring the devil we know? Do we simply lack an inspiring vision? Do we feel too guilty rejecting places or people or positions? What fears or dullness enslave us "here--whatever the pain and indignity--when we know that we need to be "there"--whatever that may be? And what if we are supposed to be where life has taken us and we just need to be more understanding and creative in making ourselves at home there? There are so many risks in life and there doesn't seem to be a place we can go to know clearly which risks to take.

Whether we stay or we go, we are always betting out lives. Spirituality is sometimes about the search for a hand that will always hold onto us, that will be with us to make sure that we do not have to face the risks and gambles of life alone. So we ask ourselves: Life takes us places but are we on our own?

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 10^th 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. 25^th 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,

Rabbi Allen Schwartz

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.

RABBI SCHWARTZ'S PURIM NOTICE

Dear OZ Family,

Celebrate with OZ

Parshas Zachor

This coming Shabbos we will fulfill the Torah law of reading Parshat Zachor. Covid offers us a special challenge, and we will be reading Parshas Zachor at OZ on Shabbos multiple times (Covid Guidelines can be reviewed HERE).

Below are approximations, including Minyan start times. Please come early to ensure you can join on time.

Hashaka Minyan: 7:30am, 8:30am Zachor
'Sukkah' Minyan: 8:30am, 9:30am Zachor (Social Hall depending on weather, RSVP required by clicking HERE)
Youth Groups at 10:30am in Sukkah
Main Minyan: 9:15am, 10:20am Zachor
Additional Zachor Readings in Main Shul: 11:15am & 5:20pm

If you are not able to make it to Shul, you may read the verses of Parshat Zachor from a Chumash at home, preferably while standing. The verses are Devarim 25:17-19.

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.”

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" possibility. If 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.
