A Word From the Rabbi

 

I don't feel the need for long messages. Most of you hear plenty form me this time of year...

I just want to say how much I enjoyed Rosh Hashana with all of you. I felt a spirit of warmth and community along with joy and optimism. I look forward to spending Yom Kippur with you as well. Please look forward to a most meaningful, inspiring, enjoyable service in a relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you to Joel and his staff, the security people, and the ushers who volunteered their time to make sure things ran smoothly. A very special thank you to Alan Salzbank for his welcomng, humorous words and leading parts of the service so nicely, and to Rabbi-Cantor Yankel Wilschansky for doing such a marvelous job on leading the services.

Sara and I would like to wish you a Happy New Year. May this year, 5768, be filled with health, happiness, prosperity, yiddishkeit, love, joy, contentment, focus and meaning for you and yours! (OK - I said no speeches...)

Shabbat Shalom & an easy fast!
Rabbi Shalom M Paltiel

P.S. - PARKING FOR YOM KIPUUR
The chabad parking lot will be closed due to security. If you would like to park your car before Kol Nidrei and leave it here until after Yom Kippur (which I - and Jewish law - highly recommend) feel free to park on Channel Drive. The Port Washington Police Department has lifted the parking restrictions for Channel Drive for the 26 hours of Yom Kippur.

Daily Thought
Returning Light

In creating the whole of existence, G‑d made forces that reveal Him and forces that oppose Him —He made light and He made darkness. One who does good brings in more light. One who fails, feeds the darkness.

But the one who fails and then returns transcends that entire scheme. He reaches out directly to the Essential Creator. Beyond darkness and light.

And so, his darkness becomes light.

the parshah in a nutshell
Parshat

The Torah reading for Yom Kippur morning describes the service performed on this day by the Kohen Gadol (high priest) in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

A special feature of the Yom Kippur service was the casting of lots over two he-goats — equal in age, size and appearance — to determine which shall be offered to G‑d in the Holy Temple, and which shall be dispatched to carry off the sins of Israel to the wilderness.

The climax of the service was when the Kohen Gadol entered the innermost chamber in the Temple, the "Holy of Holies." Wearing special garments of pure white linen, the Kohen Gadol would enter the sacred place with a pan of burning coals in his right hand, and a ladle containing an exact handful of ketoret in his left. Inside the Holy of Holies, he would place the ketoret over the coals, wait for the room to fill with its aromatic smoke, and hastily retreat from the holy place.

"This shall be an everlasting statute for you," the Torah reading concludes. "...For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G‑d... once a year."


During the afternoon Minchah service, we read chapter 18 of Leviticus, which details the prohibitions against incest and other deviant sexual behaviors. The Torah reading is followed by a haftorah (reading from the Prophets) which tells the story of Jonah — the prophet who was sent to prophesy the destruction of the sinful city of Ninveh, ran away from G‑d, was swallowed by a fish, and learned the power of prayer and repentance to evoke G‑ds mercy and annul the harshest decrees.
