Rabbi's Message
|
|
"Zerizim Makdimim Lemitzvot." This is a Jewish value that we learn from our Parsha this week. In essence, it means that when it comes time to perform a Mitzvah, we should do so with alacrity. Avraham Avinu was known for exuding this behavior.
Human nature may be to procrastinate when it comes to performing certain tasks. This can range from studying for tests, cleaning out the garage or taking care of monotonous paperwork. Mitzvot can have the same effect on us. We don't want to come to Shul on time, we hesitate to fulfill our pledges and we may delay fulfilling all of our good intentions.
As the children of Avraham and Sarah, we should find within our DNA the gene that has us do things when we are supposed to. In fact, we should do them even before that! We have it in us, but sometimes we need inspiration to motivate us. May we all be blessed to act in such a fitting manner.
Shabbat Shalom

This traumatic experience, coupled with his desire to help save people, encouraged him to become a volunteer medic. Beer has been involved in emergency medical first response in Israel since 1988.

He currently serves as Founder and President of United Hatzalah; featured speaker at TEDMED and AIPAC; lecturer to health organizations worldwide on the importance of receiving medical care within the first few minutes of an incident through a network of volunteers; has expertise in creating cohesive and integrated responses to mass casualty incidents as well as terrorist attacks; is a pioneer in the field of GPS-based technology for medical response; recipient of awards, including the 2010 Social Entrepreneur for Israel received by the Schwab Foundation, the 2011 Presidential Award for Volunteerism in Israel received by President Shimon Peres, and the 2012 Young Global Leader award.

Please join Teach NJS's event on Wednesday, October 31st at 7:30 PM at Synagogue of the Suburban Torah Center in Livingston.
We will be joined by
Jeremy Halpern

Sam Moed
who serves as the Chairman of Teach NJS and
Cheryl Weiner Rosenberg
who serves on the Englewood Council and on the Executive Committee for Teach NJS. We will discuss how voting in your local elections directly impacts the cost of your tuition bill so our children receive fair funding including security funding. In this fiscal year, Trenton allocated only $75 per pupil in security funding for our children, while public school students received over $210. Learn how to close this gap in security funding.
ACT for Jewish education. Don't wait. Our children's safety depends on it.
