Rabbi Yaakov Weiss Assistant Rabbi

I recently came across a story about a

youngmanwhowas going through life

withoutacareinhislife.Thenatatime

ofduresshecommittedhimselftodoing

a better job and learning more to

deepenhisJewishknowledge.Beforehe

could (inish his statement, he added in,

"assoonasIcan."

It has been a very busy few months

goingfromholidaytoholiday, fromone

specialoccasiontoanother.Thereisnot

much on the Jewish calendar over the

coming month other than the regular

exciting routine Jewish life. With that

morequiettimeperhapswecanrealize

that if I wait until I have a chance, I

mightnevergetaroundtoit.

To quote the great sage Hillel: “If not

now,when?”Itisalwaysagoodtimeto

capitalize on moments of inspiration

and place them into a concrete action

plan. This inspiration can bring one to

are invited to attend the dinner.

November 13 - 14 - Lewis Groner A Rabbi’s Son Returns to Omaha

After nearly 50 years since last celebrating Shabbat at Beth Israel, Lew Groner, the son of Rabbi Benjamin and Rebbetzin Frances Groner, of blessed memory, returns to our shul as a scholar-in-residence November 13-14. He will share uplifting insights and entertaining anecdotes during a Shabbat entitled, ARabbi’s Son Returns Home. Rabbi Groner led Beth Israel in the 1950’s and 60’s when it had the largest membership of any synagogue in the city, and he was the first rabbi of the newly constructed shul on 52nd Street. Lew will reflect on growing up as the son of a distinguished Orthodox rabbi and what being from Omaha has meant to him and his family, consisting of seven children.

Mishna L’Neshama Club by Eliad Eliyahu, Community Shaliach

Beth Israel kids are the future of our community! Every Shabbat after the

Kiddush you can hear the beautiful sound of the Torah, which comes from the

kids of Beth Israel synagogue. From one month to another, the kids learn by

heart more and more Mishnayot and Midrashim thanks to the power of music.

This month Batsheva and Nehoray share with you their favorite songs from the

Mishna L'Neshama program.

Children are invited to send their favorite Mishna and a picture to the Beth

Israel bulletin by emailing Eliad@Jewishomaha.org

Batsheva Shyken

It is very difficult for me to decide what is my favorite

Mishna because I love many of the Mishnayot we learn

every Shabbat. But one song that I love the most is the

song of all the names of the Torah Portions. I love it

because in that way I learn by heart all the names of the

Torah portions and because I also love the melodies of the

songs. We also start to read the Torah from Bereshit, and

this is another reason I chose the Torah Portions song as

my favorite part in the Mishna L'Neshama program.

Nehoray Mordechay Ben Shushan

My favorite Mishana is –"Kol yamai gadalti bein

hachachamim, v’lo matzati laguf tov ela shtikah." The

translation of this Mishnah is that throughout my life,

I was raised among the scholars, and I discovered that

there is nothing better for a person's body than

silence.

I love this song because of the melody of the song that

starts with "Ku Ku Ahaa…." With this song I make my

little new brother Itiel laugh when I scream to him

"Ku Ku" (which equates to the Peekaboo…).
