Shalom
and hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.
Thank you to our wonderful guest speaker last shabbos,
Ari Afilalo
, who delivered shabbos morning drasha!
His message was both timely - and sobering, describing the current dire situation facing Jews in France and what their options are. Ari cleverly tied this vital topic to the parsha and drew both direction and inspiration for our fellow French brothers and sisters facing difficult choices.
A big yasher koach to both
Charles Hoffman
for his eloquent and incisive divrei Torah on Friday night and to
Saul Lubetzki
for his masterful daf shiur presented on shabbos afternoon.

DON’T FORGET!
In the winter months, the words
“
v’tein tal u’matar libracha
”
(send dew and rain for a blessing) are inserted in Shemoneh Esrei, in the bracha “
birkas hashanim
.”
Outside of Israel, we start saying the request for dew and rain at Maariv on the sixtieth day after the autumnal equinox, which is typically the fifth of December. Thus the night
before
, on December 4th, at maariv, we insert
“
v’tein tal u’matar libracha.”
Have a wonderful shabbos!
See you in shul,
Rabbi Aaron D. Mehlman
