A weekly insight from the siddur to help enhance our prayer experience
Baruch She’amar (Artscroll Siddur pg 370)
“Blessed is He who spoke and the world came into being”: God created the word
through “speech”, without any need for action or effort. This is what the Midrash
(Bereishit Rabba 12:10) means when it says that the universe was created with the
Hebrew letter Hey (based on Genesis 2:4). Enunciating the letter Hey requires the
least amount of effort. According to one speech therapy expert, this is because to
make the “h” sound there is no movement of, or contact with articulators; and there is
no closing of the vocal folds. So too Hashem did not expend any “effort in the classic
sense in order to create the universe. The Ramban explains that the notion of speaking
in this context means that Hashem had a thought or desire for the universe and it
immediately came into being.
“Blessed is He who maintains creation”: Even though it appears that nature takes its
course and grows automatically, we realize that the fact that such growth occurs can
only happen due to it being God’s will.

D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock
At the beginning of Parshat Vayerah, we read that Hashem appeared
to Avraham. Rashi explains that G-d was performing the mitzvah of Bikur
Cholim (visiting the sick), as Avraham was recuperating from his recent
circumcision. When we visit the sick, we are not only doing kindness for our
fellow human being. We are emulating Hashem.
One of the main purposes of Bikur Cholim is to pray for the sick
person; it is like giving him life. Accordingly, one could visit a total stranger,
or someone who is unaware of the visit. The same is true for visiting a young
baby. In addition, one should see to it that the sick person has all his/her needs
taken care of and make sure he has all the necessary medical supplies. This
might include shopping for the person. Making the sick person happy is also
included in the mitzvah. Hashem visited Avraham after his circumcision, but
we do not find that He said anything to him. Harav Moshe Feinstein zt”l shows
from here that one does not have to say anything to the sick person. Just one’s
presence can be sufficient.
According to our Sages, illness is a time of increased Divine
Providence. This status has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one
hand, such Providence may include an extra degree of scrutiny of the ill
person’s merits. As the Talmud (Shabbat 32b) states, “A person should always
pray that he should not get sick; for if he does, he is told: Bring a merit and free
yourself.” On the other hand, Hashem’s enhanced scrutiny of an ill person can
be viewed as a privilege. Earlier in Masechet Shabbat (12b) it states that the
Divine Presence supports ill people and resides over their beds. This fact is
reflected in the Halacha, mentioned by the Shulchan Aruch, that when visiting
a sick person one should not sit higher than the patient, because that is the
height-level of the Divine Presence as well.
The Talmud states that one who performs the mitzvah of Bikur
Cholim merits four blessing: s/he is saved from the Yetzer Harah, and from
suffering; s/he will be honored, and blessed with faithful friends. The Maharal
explains that these blessings are chosen because they correspond to the
experience of a sick person. Ill people are generally not bothered by the Evil
Inclination. And as a direct result of a visit, a person’s suffering is alleviated.
Patients will feel honored by a visitor, and be comforted by the thought that
there are people who are thinking of them.
This explanation of the Maharal emphasizes one of the unique
characteristics of Chesed activities in general, and Bikur Cholim in particular.
The more we give of ourselves, the more we are enriched and gain from the
experience.
Bikur Cholim is one of the mitzvot which merits a reward in this
world and retains the main reward for Olam Habah (Artscroll Siddur pg. 16). I
urge all of us to find ways to be involved in this incredibly important and
fulfilling mitzvah.

New U.S. Sanctions Target Iran’s Use of Child Soldiers
On Oct. 16, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned a wide network of businesses that support Iran’s Basij Resistance Force, a paramilitary force that works for Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to AIPAC News Hub. The IRGC’s Basij is known for recruiting, training and deploying child soldiers to fight in Iran’s conflicts throughout the Middle East. The group’s activity includes indoctrinating and providing military training to schoolchildren as young as 12 years old, as well as sending children as young as 14 to Syria to fight on behalf of Iran. The sanctioned network of businesses—known as the Bonyad Taavon Basij (or “Basij Cooperative Foundation”)—is made up of at least 20 corporations and financial institutions that provide financial support for the Basij’s activities. […] According to the Treasury Department, the network uses “shell companies and other measures to mask Basij ownership and control over a variety of multibillion-dollar business interests in Iran’s automotive, mining, metals, and banking industries, many of which have significant international dealings across the Middle East and with Europe.”
Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org
