RABBI’S REFLECTIONS

T”u Bishvat and Blessing

T”u Bishvat is the fifteenth

day of the Hebrew month of

Shevat. In Hebrew, letters

also are numbers, so T”u,

tet, vav, is 9+6. We do not

use 10+5 since the Hebrew

letters yod and he together

form one of God's names.

In Leviticus 19:23-25, we

may not eat fruit from trees until the fifth year. We

may not use the fruit for the first three years. We

dedicate the fourth's year harvest to God. In the Tal-

mud Rosh Ha-Shanah 1:1, we calculate a tree's age

on the fifteenth of Shevat. Since all produce belongs

to God, only after we acknowledge God may we use

it.

A story: All sorts of bad things befall a man in a

short period of time. With nothing left, the desperate

man leaves town. Tired and hungry, he sees a tree by

the roadside, eats some fruit without blessing, and

Rabbi Michael Rascoe

Temple Israel of Riverhead 2 January/February 2016

(Rabbi—continued from page 1)

sleeps. He hears a voice calling, “Robber!

Robber!” He looks around, seeing nothing,

and falls back asleep. After two more

times, he realizes that the tree is calling him

a robber for taking its fruit and not thanking

God.

The Talmud, Ta'anit 5b-6a, has another sto-

ry about a tree and blessing. Rav Nahman

asked Rabbi Yitshaq to bless him. Rabbi

Yitshaq replies with a parable. A hungry,

tired and thirsty man traveling in the desert

comes on a tree with fruit and shade by a

stream. He eats, drinks, and sleeps. When

he awakens, he says, “O Tree, how shall I

bless you? If I say, 'May your fruit be

sweet, your shade pleasant, and you be by a

nice stream, all of this exists,' so I will say,

'May it be God's will that all the shoots tak-

en from you shall be like you.'” Rabbi Yit-

shaq blessed Rav Nahman similarly. Since

Rav Nahman had learning, riches, and chil-

dren, Rabbi Yitshaq blessed Rav Nahman,

“May it be God's will that your offspring be

like you.”

The stories about trees and blessing raise

some ideas. We should thank God for our

blessings no matter our straits. Riches are

not life’s only, or best, blessing; so are

learning and children. We do not wish for

what is, or to change reality, for it already

exists. We wish for a foreseeable, realistic

future. Then we help make this future hap-

pen, for wishing is not sufficient.

The final points I wish to make concern

continuity. Some say we live for ourselves,

and, maybe, our children. The first story

points out that without God, and someone

to plant, the future would not happen. The

second story teaches that continuity requires

children and grandchildren like us, living

with and committed to the values we hold

and imbue in them.

T”u Bishvat is a minor holiday, meaning we

can work on January 25, 2016. We do not

say tahanun, supplicatory prayers. We eat

traditional Israeli produce (wheat, barley,

grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and

dates, mentioned in Deuteronomy 8:8,) and

many add modern Israeli produce like or-

anges, from Israel when possible. Courtesy

of the qabbalists, some make a seder of it. A

new custom is to plant trees in Israel

(Zionism and ecology are important val-

ues.) Though a “minor” holiday, T”u Bish-

vat's ideas are major. Have a happy Jewish

Arbor Day.

Kol Nidre Appeal 5776

We continue to need our membership and friends to preserve the health and well-being

of our beloved temple. It is a tradition in congregations to estab-

lish a Kol Nidre Appeal Fund; at Temple Israel this fund is vital to

help supplement the dues and thus cover our operating expenses.

Therefore, we ask each one of you, if you have not already donat-

ed, to be as generous as possible, in order that our temple may

continue to meet the growing needs of the Jewish community.

Please forward your check, payable to Temple Israel Kol Nidre Fund, to: Temple Israel

of Riverhead, P.O. Box 1531, Riverhead, NY 11901. You can also pay online using

PayPal.
