HAKOL Tiferet Israel: The Glory of Israel e Home of Traditional Judaism in Dallas January 2017 Tevet/ Shevat 5777 Volume XXV, Issue 1 Heartwarming January by Rabbi Shawn Zell Have you ever considered the be- ginning as well as the end of the career of Moshe Rabbeinu? Is it mere coincidence that Moshe’s ser- vice to HaShem (as well as to the Israel- ites) is bookended by diametric oppo- sites? How is it that Moshe is initiated in trial by fire only to be “court-mar- tialed” forty years later through wa- ter? Perhaps the very nature of the two opposing elements explains it all. Even though HaShem could have at- tracted the shepherd Moshe’s atten- tion through just about any medium, He chose fire. And for good reason. HaShem was more than a little im- pressed when HaShem watched the Prince of Egypt “go out to his people and take matters into his own hands” upon witnessing an Israelite slave be- ing beaten by an Egyptian taskmas- ter. To use the vernacular, Moses was “hot for his people.” This impressed HaShem to no end. Forty years later, Moshe’s love for his people seems to have gone down the drain. The “hunk of burning love” that raged so fiercely forty years ear- lier was doused by defiance. “Listen up, you rebels,” admon- ishes Moshe, “Do you really think water is going to come from this stone?” The fire of passion fiz- zled and Moshe did not receive a pass…. Not even for old time’s sake. As one who enjoys listening to traditional Christmas carols, it’s beyond me why “Sleigh Ride,” which makes no mention what- soever of Christmas, must be consigned to the rest of the holiday songs. As far as I’m concerned, let the sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling be heard as long as snow blankets the ground. Why in the world would anyone want to rein in horses that are hot to trot? In an age where the warning “let cool heads prevail” tends to be used with abandon, it’s inspiring to see people get fired up about ideas and plans that pose nei- ther danger nor risk to others. It might very well be that the greatest threat to our society is apathy. If so, then perhaps the antidote lies in becoming fired up and being passionate about one’s work, one’s religion and one’s self. When it comes to prayer and devo- tion, there is a Hebrew term hitla- havut. Although hitlahavut is trans- lated to mean fervor, hitlahavut more accurately means aflame, in that it is derived from the word lahav, which means flame. Most likely introduced courtesy of Hassidic philosophy, hitlahavut wishes to remind us that the goal of prayer and devotion is to get oneself worked into a state of heated excitement because of one’s burning love toward HaShem. For the vast majority of Ameri- cans, January is the coldest month. Not everyone has the resources and time to get away for a week or two to a warmer clime. For others, sitting near a fireplace where logs crackle and pop does little, if anything, to dispel the cold. Neither does a hot cup of cocoa.

HAKOLTiferet Israel: The Glory of Israel

Volume XXV, Issue 1

Heartwarming January by Rabbi Shawn ZellHave you ever considered the be-ginning as well as the end of the career of Moshe Rabbeinu? Is it mere coincidence that Moshe’s ser-vice to HaShem (as well as to the Israel-ites) is bookended by diametric oppo-sites? How is it that Moshe is initiated in trial by fire only to be “court-mar-tialed” forty years later through wa-ter? Perhaps the very nature of the two opposing elements explains it all. Even though HaShem could have at-tracted the shepherd Moshe’s atten-tion through just about any medium, He chose fire. And for good reason. HaShem was more than a little im-pressed when HaShem watched the Prince of Egypt “go out to his people and take matters into his own hands” upon witnessing an Israelite slave be-ing beaten by an Egyptian taskmas-ter. To use the vernacular, Moses was “hot for his people.” This impressed HaShem to no end. Forty years later, Moshe’s love for his people seems to have gone down the drain. The “hunk of burning love” that raged so fiercely forty years ear-lier was doused by defiance. “Listen up, you rebels,” admon-ishes Moshe, “Do you really think water is going to come from this stone?” The fire of passion fiz-zled and Moshe did not receive a

pass…. Not even for old time’s sake.

As one who enjoys listening to traditional Christmas carols, it’s beyond me why “Sleigh Ride,” which makes no mention what-soever of Christmas, must be consigned to the rest of the holiday songs. As far as I’m concerned, let the sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling be heard as long as snow blankets the ground. Why in the world would anyone want to rein in horses that are hot to trot? In an age where the warning “let cool heads prevail” tends to be used with abandon, it’s inspiring to see people get fired up about ideas and plans that pose nei-ther danger nor risk to others. It might very well be that the greatest threat to our society is apathy. If so, then perhaps the antidote lies in becoming fired up and being passionate about

one’s work, one’s religion and one’s self. When it comes to prayer and devo-tion, there is a Hebrew term hitla-havut. Although hitlahavut is trans-lated to mean fervor, hitlahavut more accurately means aflame, in that it is derived from the word lahav, which means flame. Most likely introduced courtesy of Hassidic philosophy, hitlahavut wishes to remind us that the goal of prayer and devotion is to get oneself worked into a state of heated excitement because of one’s burning love toward HaShem.

The end of the year brings many things, Chanukah, the New Year, a time for rest and relaxation for many…but at Tiferet Israel, it brings the start of the organization for the Dallas Kosher Chili Cook Off countdown! From now until the morning of March 19, mem-bers of the DKCC working group, will be racing to get the 1001 details done that are needed to make the world’s largest and oldest Kosher Chili Cook-off, held on the Tiferet Israel cam-pus, once again a rousing success.

Two of the more important items that we have well in hand are getting title sponsorships and in identifying the beneficiaries. We are pleased to have two of the long-term champions and sponsors of the DKCC return as title sponsors. March and McLellan Agency, known locally as Prescott Pailet Benefits and Key-Whitman Eye Center are returning for a sixth year to headline the sponsorships of the 24th Annual Dallas Kosher Chili Cook-Off. Dan Prescott, along with Mark Kleinman and Jack Baum, remi-niscing on establishing the Kosher Chili Cook-Off in 1992: “We were looking for a simple family event that would bring the entire Jewish community together. It is amazing how it has grown into an event that has become recognized on a national and international level,” said Prescott. “And now, along with my partners -- my brother Stuart Prescott

and Kevin Pailet -- and long-time friend Dr. Jeff Whitman, we are proud to serve as the title sponsors at this 24th anniversary of the cook-off,” Prescott added. Dr. Whitman, President of Key-Whitman Eye Center, echoes the senti-ment: “It is always amazing and grati-fying to see the Kosher Chili Cook-Off come to fruition and to see how the entire Dallas Jewish community re-sponds by participating in teams and in their ever-increasing attendance.” As is appropriate for a Jewish commu-nity event like this, local charities are supported by the proceeds of the cook-off. For the 24th annual DKCC, we have selected two organizations, the Assist the Officer Foundation of the Greater Dallas Area and the J Summer Camps Scholarship Fund, as benefi-ciaries. These organizations join over 40 organizations who have benefited from the DKCC over the last 23 years.

Dallas police officers have faced a challenging year in 2016, and the As-sist the Officer Foundation provides financial assistance and counseling services to officers and their fami-lies who are facing the loss of income due to a serious injury, life-threat-ening illness, or other catastrophic event, including the death of an active officer. Since its creation in 1999, the foundation has provided assis-tance to hundreds of officers and

their families faced with any num-ber of life-altering situations. Their counseling program was designed for police officers -- by police officers and professionals working together.

Anyone in the Jewish community who has grown up or raised their children in Dallas knows the J Summer Camps are the ultimate Happy Place, safe and nurturing environments to enhance skills and promote self-confidence where campers try new things and experience “I can” every day. And, at the heart of all of the camps, teach-ing and instilling Jewish values that include Kavod, Kehillah, Chesed, and Ruach. J Summer Camps are cele-brating their 75th year of providing the Dallas community with Happy Camp-ers. Under the leadership of Laura Seymour, the seven major J Summer Camps (Simchah, Chai, Tennis, Gym-nastics, J Performing Arts Space, Sports and Teen Travel Camp) are in the busi-ness of sparking friendships, encour-aging thousands of “firsts,” and creat-ing memories that last a lifetime. The DKCC donation to the J Camps will be used for scholarships to those in need. Please join us in recognizing and congratulating both the title spon-sors and beneficiaries of the 24th Annual Dallas Kosher Chili Cook-Off.
