 TORAH FROM THE CHEVRA

 

Zev Amster

 

If you could choose one thing to bless your child with, would you choose to bless him to be like a dangerous, vicious animal? That’s exactly what Ya’akov Aveinu did when he blessed that Yehudah be like a “young lion”, Dan a “snake on the road”, and Binyamin a “predatory wolf”. What was Ya’akov Aveinu thinking? He could have at least chosen animals with more civil, less vicious traits like a sheep, a calf, or even an ox. These animals have many redeeming characteristics, including that they are kosher and can be used as korbanos.

 

The answer lies in examining the common denominators/tzad hashaveh shebahen between the lion, snake, and wolf. Yes, they are all dangerous, injurious creatures, but what makes them so powerful? Rav Avigdor Miller says that the key element in these three wild animals is that they all possess “the quality of energy, of verve and vigor that Ya’akov wanted to see in the future of his children.” From this, Rav Miller issues a call of action, saying that this is Hashem’s way of saying, “I’m looking for people who will do something in this world…people who have strength of character, not weeklings. People who have verve, who have life in them, people who will accomplish and get things done!”

 

As descendants of Ya’akov Aveinu, we can choose to be be recipients of this powerful blessing by living lives of purpose, strength, and action each and every day! Baruch Hashem we are all part of a dynamic, wonderful kehilla here at LINK, a makom in which we can support and encourage each other to live lives of purpose, strength, meaning, and growth.

Kiddush Levana

 

The latest time to perform Kiddush Levana will be this coming Thursday night (and in extenuating circumstances, Friday night until 7:34pm). Given that the weather forecast is calling for rain/cloudy skies most of this week, including Motzei Shabbos, it looks like Sunday night will be our best bet to do Kiddush Levana (after each of the 4 Maariv Minyanim). 

Gemara Siyum

 

We hope to IYH have the Shul wide siyum on Gemara Seder Moed on Motzaei Shabbos January 21st. It will IYH be a beautiful event and kavod hatorah. We hope that everyone will be able to join and those that took learning should please finish by then.

Loan Gemach

 

We are pleased to announce a gemach for short term loans.

The gemach is administered by Michael Malk, and you can contact him directly (323.251.2726; mm@malklawfirm.com) to inquire about loans.

Formula Gemach


With a huge national formula shortage we have made a formula gemach with drop off locations in the city and valley for kosher unexpired and unopened bottles of formula, donations (some formulas people are desperately seeking are a fortune now online) and we have started to match people up.  The gemach is up and running in the valley now, it is in zechus refua sheelima Shayna Lia bas Shulamis a young mother in Pico.  Please text 310 981 8553 or email formulagemachla@gmail.com if you need formula or can donate.
