Rabbi's Message
After the Splitting of the Reed Sea, Bnai Yisrael broke out into joyous song of praise and thanksgiving. We recite this Shirah every day when we say "Az Yashir.." This is also why the Shabbat has a special name "Shabbat Shirah."
In one very moving passage, the Children of Israel say "Zeh Keili V'Anveihu." This means "This is my G-d and I will glorify Him." Halachikally speaking, we learn a great lesson from this. Chazal teach us that this means we should beautify our Mitzvot by going the extra mile. We purchase a nicer Lulav, we give more Tzedakah and we enhance our Shabbat.
It is one thing to just "DO" the Mitzvot. It is entirely a different thing to glorify how we perform our Mitzvot.
Shabbat Shalom

Talia'a Steakhouse
Tuesday, January 29th, 6:15PM
Please join us on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 for a night of schmoozing and laughing with friends while enjoying a perfectly grilled steak with scotch in hand. This year we will be venturing into NYC and having dinner at Talia's Steakhouse and Bar. The food should be great and the company, second to none. We will have a bus transporting us to and from the restaurant. We will be davening at 6:00pm and will be leaving Etz Chaim at 6:15 sharp.
If you have the time and inclination, we recommend reading the essay by Viktor Frankl, "Experiences in a Concentration Camp" found in his book titled Man's Search for Meaning.
The Book Club will be held at the home of
Debbie Zuckerman
