A word from the Rabbi



Thank you for a wonderful inspiring Yom Kippur together as always. It was most enjoyable and uplifting to observe this very important and meaningful day with this wonderful community. Thank you to all who contributed to the success of our services including volunteer ushers, teen counselors of the youth program, Joel and the maintenance team, the Cantors, Rabbis and Gabbis.

Sukkot is one of those holidays that have gotten the short end of the stick. People don't know much about it, although it is as Biblical as Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. I am therefore happy to report that 60 people have bought Lulav and Etrog sets from our Chabad, which means Port Washington will be filled with Sukkos joy and observance this year, more than ever before in the history of this wonderful peninsula!

Also, numerous new Sukkahs were erected by families who heretofore have not had their own. During Sukkot, look out for the Sukkah mobiles which will be making the rounds in our community staffed by our rabbis and teens. Help us continue the curve of bringing Sukkot to Port and to your family, by attending Shul this Tuesday and/or Wednesday in honor of Sukkot. Also consider joining us for Dinner in the Sukkah Monday night (click here to RSVP), your family will truly enjoy it!

Happy Holidays!

Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

On Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah (Oct. 20-22), we conclude, and begin anew, the annual Torah reading cycle. The event is marked with great rejoicing, and the "hakafot" procession in which we march and dance with Torah scrolls around the reading table in the synagogue. In the words of the Chassidic saying, "On Simchat Torah, we rejoice in the Torah, and the Torah rejoices in us; the Torah, too, wants to dance, so we become the Torah's dancing feet."

Judaism is forward thinking, eager to embrace innovation and fresh perspective. So why are we abandoning our homes and living in thatched huts, as we did 3400 years ago?

the parshah in a nutshell
ParshatHa'Azinu

The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu ("Listen In") consists of a 70-line "song" delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life.

Calling heaven and earth as witnesses, Moses exhorts the people to "Remember the days of old / Consider the years of many generations / Ask your father, and he will recount it to you / Your elders, and they will tell you" how G‑d "found them in a desert land," made them a people, chose them as His own, and bequeathed them a bountiful land. The Song also warns against the pitfalls of plenty — "Yeshurun grew fat and kicked / You have grown fat, thick and rotund / He forsook G‑d who made him / And spurned the Rock of his salvation" — and the terrible calamities that would result, which Moses describes as G‑d "hiding His face." Yet in the end, he promises, G‑d will avenge the blood of His servants and be reconciled with His people and land.

The Parshah concludes with G‑d's instruction to Moses to ascend the summit of Mount Nebo, from which he will behold the Promised Land before dying on the mountain. "For you shall see the land opposite you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the children of Israel."

Daily Thought
All of Him

That force that holds electrons in their orbit and planets in theirs, explodes incessantly within the stars above and is the darkness that fills the empty space—-that force is a single whole and it is G–d.

It is not all of G–d. It is an expression of G–d. All of it could disappear in a single instant, and for Him nothing would have changed.

Where is it that you can find all of G–d? Wherever He wishes to be found.

Right now, He hides within some scattered branches placed upon an autumn hut.
