Message from the Rabbi
Parshat Noach
|
Mashiach is coming! I am sure that is how Chicago Cubs fans are feeling these days. While I had no vested sports interest in this World Series, I did watch the (very late) dramatic end of Game 7 with great interest. The thought that one of these teams would find redemption after so many years really got my attention. I have to admit that I was rooting for the Cubs from the start, probably because they had to wait longer. A lot longer.
I remember June 1994 waiting for my beloved NY Rangers to hoist the Stanley Cup after waiting so many years since 1940. I remember having to fend off all the naysayers who felt our team was subpar and not deserving to even be in the league. With that victory, we earned respect and legitimacy and a seat at the table.
Today, the Cubs not only have a seat at the table, they are at the head.
I think that everyone has a desire to "Be like everyone else," and have a seat at that table, no matter how unlikely or improbable it may seem.
This Shabbat, we have the honor and privilege of hosting our guests from Yachad. Let us show them the rich and warm welcome they so deserve. Etz Chaim and Yachad are one, and they will always have a seat at our communal table.
Shabbat Shalom

A Shabbat with JNF
November 19
|
|
With Guest Speaker Yedidya Harush
Yedidya Harush was born and raised in Gush Katif on the Gaza Strip.
He currently serves as the community representative for Israeli residents living on the border in the Halutza region, which was established after Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005.
One year later, Yedidya was recruited to play basketball in the United States.
He lived in central New Jersey from 2006-2007 before returning to his roots in Israel.
Soon after, he assumed a key leadership role in the joint effort to help the children and young adults of Gush Katif evacuees lead a normal life while their families and homes were in distress.
During Operation Protective Edge in 2014, when repeated rocket attacks struck southern Israel, Yedidya's reserve elite IDF unit and Halutza's residents helped secure the local border and protect the country.
Yedidya is inspired to make Ben Gurion's dream in the Negev a reality by working to develop Halutza into a thriving community in partnership with
Jewish National Fund.

November 19

New Beginner Class
Have you ever found yourself a little lost during services? Are you intimidated by what goes on each week in Shul while you try to keep up? Does this prevent you from attending Shul at all?
Fear no more! Led by our very capable Rabbi David Bendory, we now offer a beginner's learning prayer service open to men and women.
Rabbi Bendory will take you on a journey through our Siddur as you will learn the ins and outs of Davening. You will become experts at knowing all the key parts of our prayers, including: When to sit, stand, bow, take steps backwards. take steps forwards and so much more.
The first class will meet on Shabbat morning, Nov. 19th in the Beit Midrash.
Please encourage anyone whom you think may benefit from this new initiative.
