RABBI’S MESSAGE DEFINING JEWISHNESS

In this article I am using Jewishness and not Judaism because I am interested in defining how you and I would define a person’s Jewish identity. For me, it is all about Torah and Mitzvot. That pretty much dominates my day, night, and existence. When the students of the Vilna Gaon pressed their Rebbe for a concise definition of all of Torah they basically were asking the Vilna Gaon to condense 613 Mitzvot into a quotable statement. The Gaon said that we are required to learn Torah and perform acts of Chessed, kindness, with other people. By and large I like to view what we do in life to be defined by the Gaon’s blueprint. The far majority of the Jewish people of the world cannot embrace the above statement of Jewish identity because they do not know what Torah and Mitzvot are all about. Furthermore they have no interest in investigating their own heritage, traditions, and literature. The recent Pew Research reveals a great deal more than just the growing rate of intermarriage. The 20th century French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) identified Jews in a most startling fashion. Our uniqueness as a people, Sartre noted, was not defined by a history, a tradition, or a standard of principles in life, but rather it was defined by our willingness to suffer at the hands of anti-Semites. The only way to eliminate the Jewish problem in the world, according to Sartre, is for Jews to assimilate. If Jews abandon Torah and Mitzvot, and their history, they will not be despised, but will be able to be assimilated to the world population. In short terms we would identify Sartre as an anti-Semite himself, primarily, but not exclusively, due to this definition of a Jew. In 18th century mid-Europe the Empress Maria Theresa ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire for 40 years. She was a strong-willed, focused individual who hated Jews. At one point she wanted to expel us entirely from her empire. As she annexed regions in the northeast section of her empire she was absorbing more Jews, when in essence she really wanted to get rid of us. Her successor, Joseph the Second, took a different approach entirely. He felt the way to handle the Jewish problem was to love us. By assimilating we would melt away within the empire. [In Hitler’s Mein Kampf, Hitler quotes Joseph the Second and praises his people for rejecting his ideas, because if the people of central Europe were to have embraced Joseph the Second’s writings, then the Aryan race would have been forever spoiled by the absorption of the Jewish population!] Years ago I was part of a Federation mission to Israel from Broward County. We visited an Israeli secular high school in Yerushalayim initially sponsored by the French Alliance. Meeting the teenagers who were graduating that year it became obvious that we are on complete opposite ends of the Jewish identity. Their definition of being Jewish was being active citizens of an Israeli state, and most important, would be that which would engage them

immediately after graduation: service in the Israeli Defense Forces. They could not comprehend how we of the “Diaspora” could continue and transmit to our children a sense of Jewish identity when we and our children are not serving in the IDF. When one of the Conservative Jews on the trip tried to explain that our Jewish identity manifests itself in lighting candles on Shabbat and going to the Temple for services, the Israelis could not understand what that was all about. Here in a global sense the setting is quite disturbing. There are many American Jews whose identity within the tradition is not even those customs mentioned above. They would be satisfied with membership at a local JCC and call it a Jewish life. The Pew Research and other studies have indicated that today American Jewish youth do not place Israel as the primary concern in their lives. In fact Israel is nowhere near the top of life for them. They are really lost because they have no rallying point to help them identify Jewishly. No wonder the rate of intermarriage is so high; the assimilation process could be a very smooth operation here in the United States of America. The Hagaddah has a line, and we even raise our cups of wine when reciting it, that in every generation enemies rise to destroy us! Perhaps this is truly God’s plan. Without the presence of anti-Semitism and the threat of a new form of a Holocaust, Jews would be quicker to abandon all sense of history and Jewish identification. Maybe in that sense there is greater wisdom in Sartre’s comments than we give him credit for. But according to Sartre it is the Jew who is willing to play the victim to every anti-Semite in the world. According to the Hagaddah it is not the Jew’s willingness that is involved, but rather it is part of the divine plan to keep us. It has been stated many times in hundreds of years: it is not that Shabbat has kept the Jew alive, but it is rather the anti-Semites who have kept Jews Jewish. If each entity in the population were required to publish a mission statement, the State of Israel would probably define itself as a biblical “city of refuge.” Its existence is to offer a sanctuary for the Jewish refugees of the world. It is a place where Jews can gather, stand their territory, and fight for their existence after millennia of persecution and oppression. No other Jews in the world can make that statement. Our mission statement is truly, as I began this article, a definition of Torah and Mitzvot, and I would be willing to embrace the Vilna Gaon’s concise definition of what we are required to do on a daily basis. We are required to learn some Torah, and perform acts of Chessed every day of our lives.

Mitzvah Monitor Blood Related Mitzvot

Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

There are a number of mitzvot associated with animal blood in Sefer Vayikra. As soon as we are

introduced to the concept of korban, animal sacrifice, we are told that the animal’s blood is put on the altar as part

of the sacrificial service performed by the Kohanim. Later, in Chapter 7, we are informed of the prohibition of

eating animal blood, even from a kosher animal that has been slaughtered according to Halacha. In Chapter 17 we

are introduced to the mitzvah of kisuy hadam, covering the blood of slaughtered wild animals (as opposed to

domesticated animals) and birds. How can we understand the Torah’s emphasis on blood?

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch wrote that the blood is present throughout the body, gives vitality to the

body and yet cannot be seen. In these ways blood is an appropriate symbol for the soul, which also animates the

body yet cannot be seen. We begin to understand the Torah’s emphasis on blood and the mitzvoth associated with

it.

Blood plays an important role in the sacrificial service because part of the experience of bringing a

korban is a sense of complete surrender to God. An integral part of bringing a korban was the acknowledgement

and willingness to “sacrifice ourselves” in the process. God may have given us free will to do whatever we please,

but when we offer a korban we are saying that all we want to do is follow what Hashem has advised us to be the

proper course of living. This is so even if our unchecked desires may have taken us in a different direction.

Though we may no longer be able to offer korbanot in the absence of the Beit Hamikdash, the message of

sacrifice is one that we still need to hear. Does our observance of Jewish tradition and Halacha begin from a

starting point of sacrifice: commitment and allegiance to Hashem, or do we only commit to those ideas that are

convenient, appealing and fully understood by us?

This idea can also be utilized to explain the mitzvah of kisuy hadam, covering the blood. Wild animals

represent the ultimate in freedom. They have no master, and they are not restricted in any way. Such a life may

seem enticing. And when a person catches and slaughters a wild animal, he may become enchanted by such an

unfettered and free lifestyle. It is precisely at that moment that the Torah commands that we cover the blood. In

this way we once again surrender to Hashem and His mitzvot, and reorient ourselves to what our priorities should

be and what constitutes a life well lived.

This brings us to the third blood-related mitzvah: a restriction on eating blood. The Sefer Hachinuch

invokes the idea that “you are what you eat.” One that eats blood may develop attributes of haughtiness and

insensitivity that are antithetical to the Torah’s value system. By refraining from eating the source of an animal’s

life force, even after it has been ritually slaughtered, we instill within ourselves an appreciation for the sanctity of

life and the need to act with humility even when we are at the top of the food chain.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Seeking Honor

This month I am taking a pause in my continuing series on paths to Young Israel of Hollywood to focus on the most exciting event in our shul social calendar, our 32nd Annual Journal Dinner.. Wait, don't hang up! I have received great feedback on the paths to Hollywood series and there will be more columns in the upcoming months.

Dr. Steven and Dr. Lauren Kimmel personify humble dedication to our community through many selfless acts that impact our shul on regular basis. They have committed themselves to our community in a quiet way that it took tremendous pressure to get them to agree to be honored this year. The term to "step it up" or "step up to the plate" means raising your game and putting yourself out in front especially when those around you may not take the leap so easily. Steve and Lauren have done just that on so many occasions when something needed to be done in the shul. When the Kimmel's saw a need, they didn't wait for others. The Young Israel of Hollywood community have been huge beneficiaries of both their time and their financial commitment.

As a past President of the shul, Steve is someone that I have looked to on approaches to Board matters and running of Board meetings. If the Kimmel's see something that needs to be done, they go all the way. If this is the work of updating the shul bylaws, or purchasing siddurim for the teen and youth minyanim or expanding attendance in our Journal Dinner or social events for the Brotherhood, the Kimmel's are people of action who take action when it is in the benefit of the community, and not simply for themselves.

Our Annual Journal provides you, the beneficiaries of the tireless work of the honorees, the opportunity to express your words of honor to the Kimmel's as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Shimmy and Elana Lazar, recipients of the Distinguished Service Award. The Lazar's approach toward commitment to our community is very similar in a take charge, do something all the way. Through leadership of the Sisterhood, the founding of the Brotherhood Basketball league and the commitment toward the youth of our community, the Lazar's have distinguished themselves with outstanding service to our community. The best way for the community to honor the Kimmel's and Lazar's is to take action, in their honor. We learn in the beginning of the 4th Perek of Pirket Avot, "Who is honored? He who honors others, as it is said: 'For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who scorn Me shall be degraded'". And through the honoring of the Kimmel's and Lazar's at our Annual Journal Dinner, we bring honor to Hashem through the work of our shul and our community.

I look forward to greeting all of you in person on Sunday February 16th at 7 PM at the Eden Regal Ballroom as we honor the Kimmel's and the Lazar's and to reading your pages in the Annual Journal.

Stephen Kurtz President

SISTERHOOD MESSAGE Happiness. People always seem to be searching for joy and happiness in their lives. It is our good fortune, thanks to having Adar’s this year that we are able to experience a heightened amount of joy. Earthly pleasures can bring us good feelings but when we speak of happiness it is not this type of happiness that we should be looking to receive but a pure joy that comes from spirituality that arises independent from one's physical circumstances. We often talk about things worth living for and in doing so we fail to appreciate the most profound joy of all: life itself. All we need to do is tap into Hashem and follow these suggestions: 1) A person who keeps to himself will find it difficult to be in a state of joy. -Chofetz Chaim (1838-1933) 2) People search relentlessly for a “city of happiness” not realizing it can only be found in a “state of mind”. - Rabbi Avraham Pam (1933-2001) 3) Delight and joy must accompany your every spiritual endeavor…-Rabbi Kook (1865-1933) 4) Light is sown for the righteous, and for the upright of heart, joy! -Psalms 97:11 5) If one is always joyful, his face will shine, his countenance will be radiant, his body will be healthy, and old age will not leap at him, as it is written. “ A happy heart is as healing as medicine” ( Proverbs 17: 12) - Orchot Tzadikim (1540) 6) If trouble comes upon you and you think it has come as a punishment for a past lapse, do not despair. Rather, rejoice in this new opportunity to rise up by the medium of the test that you now face - Rabbi Bliacher ( 1891-1943) We conclude this column with a phrase to be repeated as many times as needed “Mouth filled with laughter, lips with shouts of joy.” and practice stepping away from your business and savor several moments of the day; feel the joy that is available to you! Wishing you pure joy and happiness this Purim, in the month of Adar and throughout the year!

Communities of Conscience

In 1976, as our country celebrated its bicentennial, the United States government officially recognized Black History Month, commemorated each February. Though the history of the African American community cannot be summed up in just four weeks, this month reminds us of the stories of courage and leadership that mark the importance of African American history. As American Jews, Black History Month is also a time when we can take pride in the strong bonds between the Jewish and African American communities. Jews marched alongside civil rights leaders in the 1960s and continue to work together with the African American community in all arenas—including strengthening American support for Israel. During the peak of the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke fervently of his support for a Jewish state in the land of Israel. Perhaps most famously, in a 1968 speech to the Rabbinical Assembly Dr. King stated: “peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.” Dr. King’s vision and bravery was met by his friend Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, an influential civil rights leader and prominent rabbi. He famously walked arm in arm with Dr. King in Selma, Alabama during a pivotal civil rights march. Rabbi Heschel’s position in the front row of marchers was a symbol of religious Jewish commitment to civil rights that helped to stir Jews of all levels of observance and social status. Today, supporting Israel continues to be a value that binds the Jewish and African American communities, especially on college campuses. Each year, through the dozens of pro-Israel groups on the campuses of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities, African American students learn about the ties that bind the Jewish and African American populations. Those ties lead to support that has a real impact. For example, 135 campus leaders from 66 different Historically Black Colleges and Universities recently signed a leadership statement supporting diplomatic efforts to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and “the vigorous effort of Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders to pass new Iran sanctions legislation now giving the President additional tools that can be utilized if diplomacy fails.” We honor the legacy of leaders like Dr. King and Rabbi Heschel, people who paved the way for the African American and Jewish leaders of today. Like them, we must find not only the courage to stand up for what we believe in, but also the determination to stand together.

Shabbat Parshat Vayakhel ~ February 21-22, 2014

February 2014 Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Page 9

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: We had a discussion recently. Hypothetically a man comes in to shul and we wish to give him an aliyah. He says that he

does not have a Hebrew name; all he has is an English name which is not related to anything in Hebrew. By what name could we call him up to the Torah?

A: I would think that in this case you could call him up by an English name, the son of, if he possibly knows his father’s

Hebrew name. Or say a Mishebayrach before he is called up to the Torah and give him a Hebrew name. And then use it right away. In truth that is how Hebrew names are actually given to an individual and this would be an easy solution.

I have been asked before whether a person is permitted to make a Mishebayrach for a sick friend who is not Jewish. In this case there is no Hebrew name and one should not be given to him, and I advise making the prayer privately and use the standard form of a Mishebayrach found in the Siddur and inserting the English name of the individual. The only time that I ever heard that a shul would do a Mishebayrach publicly for a non-Jewish person was in the situation for President Roosevelt when he became so ill prior to his death in office. Shuls made a Mishebayrach for the President of the United States inserting his English name when it was appropriate in the Hebrew prayer.

Similarly they made a prayer for the government in Europe and they had a place to insert the name of the king, czar, or whatever title the country had for its leader. The prayer itself was in Hebrew but the insertion of the name was the non-Jewish name of that leader, who was not Jewish.

It is recorded that the Noda B’Yehudah (Rav Yechezkel Landau, 1713-1793, Prague) made a public prayer for the Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780, Empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for 40 years) even though the Empress was the most anti-Semitic monarch of her day.

Rabbi Chaim Dovid HaLevi (1924-1998, Chief Sephardi Rabbi of Tel Aviv-Jaffa) penned a Responsa addressing the question of whether we may pray for the welfare of a non-Jew in light of older opinions forbidding it. He wrote that the practice was prohibited in the case where the non-Jew was an idolater. Today, we basically accept Christians and Moslems as non-idol worshippers. Hence it is not only permitted, but it is the right thing to do, demonstrating kindness to so many non-Jews who are good neighbors in our communities.

Q: When we have a Bar Mitzvah, the Bar Mitzvah boy frequently is the one who reads the entire parsha. Is this the

requirement in any shape or form? In the old days in Europe no Bar Mitzvah boy read the Torah. He received an aliyah and that was the end of it. This seems to be an American initiative. Is it appropriate?

Furthermore, is it appropriate to encourage the Bar Mitzvah boy to read his parsha or a different parsha subsequent to his Bar Mitzvah?

A: I believe you are correct in your statement that it is an American custom. I know that Rav Auerbach said that it was

not only not required, but he preferred that it not be done. We understand that. There are Bar Mitzvah boys who learn the craft of leining well, but do not really understand the words of their reading. They might understand the cantillation notes and to read the Hebrew, but they do not understand what the words mean. In such a situation I think it is inappropriate to encourage them to be the Baal Korei in the main shul in the future. On the other hand I do wish that they would hone the craft further and develop their skills of shul leadership. Hence the Teen Minyan is a perfect incubator, so to speak, for teenagers to develop greater skills for leadership, including reading the Torah.

Q: A question was recently written on the observance of the Fast of Asarah B’Tevet where a pregnant woman should be

considered exempt from observing the fast even if they are not suffering at all. Does the question apply to nursing mothers as well?

A: The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 550:1) states that on either of the four public fast days – Tisha B’Av, Asarah

B’Tevet, the 17th of Tammuz, and the Fast of Gadaliah – everyone is required to fast. The Rama notes that on the latter three, pregnant as well as nursing mothers are exempt even if they are not suffering. Nevertheless there seems to be the accepted custom in our day that these women wish to fast if they are able to. I know that my rebbe, Rav Soloveitchik, was very lenient on these fast days regarding pregnant women because of the fragile state of health for the fetus. The fetus needs nourishment and there is no need for the fetus to fast. What the Rav was concerned about was what she eats. She should limit her consumption to what is necessary for her and her fetus, and not to be extravagant in the choice of foods or the amount of food.

I believe that when our Sages ruled on these minor fast days which begin in the morning and not the night before, they were indicating to us that these were likened to individual responsibility of fasting, and each individual of the community was required to participate, but there is a big difference between these cases and the case of Tisha B’Av. They applied the same rationale to nursing mothers and our custom does prevail, namely that she can and may fast, but she is exempt if she wishes to abide by the Rama’s decision.

He speaks frequently at synagogues and botanical gardens and writes about plants, nature, and agriculture in Torah at TorahFlora.org. Contact: jon@torahflora.org. This silver sage plant (Salvia argentea) looks almost exactly like the menorah of the ancient Temple, down to its oil lamp-shaped flowers. The Temple Mount is known in Hebrew as Har HaMoriah (“Sage Hill”). The Torah almost always mentions the incense and the menorah together. What does this mean?

A very limited number of bottles of Kedem Light Concord Grape Juice Beverage - 22 oz were mistakenly labeled with the 1.5 liter/ 50.7 oz labels that state “Non-Mevushal.” The 22 oz size is indeed Mevushal.

Chocolate Covered Peanuts and Honey Roasted Cashews manufactured by Barcelona Nut Processing Co. mistakenly bear the Star-K Pareve symbol. These two products are currently not certified and should in fact be considered dairy.

Gardenfresh Humus and Toppers (separate container of 4 varieties of toppings) are sold together as one unit. They had been OU-certified in the past. The OU is NO longer certifying the Gardenfresh Humus brand, and the product is not recommended. However, the Toppers are still OU certified. (Kashrut.com notes that Kalamata olives need reliable kosher certification, as their brine may contain non-kosher ingredients.)

Chef Allen's 2Go, Ft. Lauderdale Airport, Terminal 3 is not supervised by the ORB. Consumers are urged to check the label on each package for reliable certifications. There are sandwiches sold there properly bearing the ORB label.

An OV (a "V" inside an "O"), very similar to the kashrus symbol of the Vaad Ho’eir of St. Louis, is used by some companies

to indicate vegan (vegetarian). One example is Fresh Finds French Fried Onions sold at Big Lots.

The Orthodox Union is now certifying Wonder Bread products in certain (but not all) regions of the USA. Wonder Bread products that are certified by the Orthodox Union bear the OU symbol. Wonder Bread products that do not bear the OU symbol are not certified by the Orthodox Union.

Happy Harvest Brand Candied Yams in 16 oz cans, sold at Aldi, was labeled with the Star-K in error. This product contains a dairy ingredient. New labels will no longer bear the Star-K symbol. Happy Harvest Cut Sweet Potatoes in 15 oz cans correctly bears the Star-K symbol, and is pareve.

O.R.B. KASHRUT UPDATE: Kugeldogs at the Chevron Gas Station, 4051 Stirling Road, Hollywood has now become dairy and is called Pizza Tov,

under O.R.B. supervision, Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel. Belly Hugs, Gluten free and dairy free bakery, 6678 Stirling Road, Hollywood is now under the O.R.B.

FACTS I DISCOVERED WHILE LOOKING UP OTHER THINGS RABBI AVRAHAM YITZCHAK KOOK (1865-1935, Chief Rabbi of Palestine), PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE (1872-1933, the 30th President of the United States, 1923-1929), and the WASHINGTON SENATORS (1891-1971 Professional Baseball Team).

Rav Kook, a Rabbinic scholar, made Aliyah in 1904 to take the post of Chief Rabbi of Jaffa. During WW I, he stayed in London and Switzerland. He returned to Palestine and later became the first Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Palestine, in 1921. In March 1924 he led a delegation of rabbis (along with Rav Moshe Mordechai Epstein, head of the Slabokda Yeshiva in Lithuania, and Rav Avraham Dov Baer Kahana Shapiro of Kovno) to America to raise funds for yeshivahs in Europe and Eretz Yisrael. The plan was to raise one million dollars in three months. They ended up staying for eight months and raised a little over $300,000.

On April 15, 1924, the delegation was in Washington, D.C. and met with President Calvin Coolidge in the White House.

Rav Kook wrote his speech in Hebrew; but it was delivered in English by Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum because Rav Kook was not fluent in English. After Rabbi Teitelbaum read the speech, Rav Kook answered “Amen” out loud to indicate his consent to all that was read. Rav Kook thanked the President for his government’s support of the Balfour Declaration, and told him that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land will benefit not only the Jews themselves, but all mankind throughout the world… The President responded that the American government will be glad to assist Jews whenever possible.

After the meeting, the President had a busy schedule. He went to Griffith Stadium where he threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Opening Day baseball game for the Washington Senators. The Senators won that day 4-0 over the Philadelphia Athletics. Walter Johnson, the Washington ace, pitched the complete game shutout. Johnson was 36 at the time, his 18th season with the Senators. He went 23-7 that year and won the MVP award (Most Valuable Player).

Is it possible that Rav Kook’s meeting with President Coolidge would bring Berachah and success to the often laughed at Washington Senators? (“First in War, First in Peace, and Last in the American League.”) No baseball mayvin nor religious pundit would connect these events! (Well, till now…mmm)

In all the years of Washington professional baseball, 1924 was a special year. It was the only year the Senators made it to the World Series, and they won the Series in an upset of John McGraw’s New York Giants. To get there the Senators had to best Babe Ruth’s Yankees, the AL pennant winners 3 years in a row.

The World Series was a close contest, going the full seven games. President and Mrs. Coolidge attended all four games in Washington. The seventh game was a nail-biter which saw the Senators rally to tie the game in the 8th inning, and then win it in the 12th inning, 4-3.

Yes, I tell you: it all started with Rav Kook’s visit to the White House. Well, …. maybe.

[BONUS FACTOID: The winning run was scored by the late Muddy Ruel (not Jewish) who batted .283 that year. He was one of the best defensive catchers in the game. After a 19 year career in professional baseball, he earned a law degree from

Washington University in St. Louis. He is the only professional baseball player to be admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States.]

CALVIN COOLIDGE AND THE JEWS. Although President Coolidge “talked the talk,” he did not “walk the walk.” He had very little contact with Jews. On the occasions that he did, he spoke graciously and complimented the Jewish people. He would speak laudatory words about the Jewish presence in America. The one important issue that impacted greatly on the Jewish people was America’s desire to severely limit immigration. President Coolidge quickly signed the Johnson-Reed Act in 1924. Consequently in the fiscal year 1924-25, less than ten thousand Jews from all countries entered the United States.

THE JEW WHO SAILED WITH CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.. Luis De Torres of 15th and 16th centuries was a Spanish interpreter to Christopher Columbus in his first voyage of discovery in 1492. Contrary to what was formerly believed, he was the only person of Jewish birth who was among the companions of Christopher Columbus on his first voyage, having been baptized shortly before the expedition sailed. He knew Hebrew, Aramaic, and some Arabic. When Columbus landed in Cuba, convinced it was the mainland, he took possession of it for Spain and dispatched Torres with a party into the interior to see if they could find gold. Torres reported back that the natives were friendly and that he had found no gold, but that he had seen men putting thin rolls of dried leaves called tobacco into their mouths, lighting them and blowing out clouds of smoke. Torres settled in Cuba and won the friendship of the Indian ruler who gave him land and slaves. He soon set up his own small empire. As an independent ruler of Spanish territory, he received an annual allowance from the Spanish royal family. (From: The Encyclopedia Judaica.)

TOBACCO INDUSTRY… Once Columbus brought back tobacco from America to Europe it took off as a commodity beginning in Amsterdam in the 17th century. Jews were prominent in the tobacco industry from the beginning in Europe. Initially it was a luxury article and quickly became a mass consumer item. In the middle of the 17th century more than 50% of all bridegrooms listed in Holland were in the tobacco industry. Even in the 20th century we still had a Jewish imprint on the market. In 1933 a Jew was engaged in about 5% of the German tobacco trading industry, primarily in cigars. In the Pale area in Eastern Europe in 1897, 83 out of the 110 tobacco factories were owned by Jews, and over 80% of the workers were Jewish. In America Jews were also heavily involved. Fortune Magazine (in a 1935 article entitled Jews in America) stated, “Jews have practically blanketed the tobacco buying business, where Jews and buyer are synonymous words, and they control 3 of the 4 leading cigar manufacturing concerns, including Fred Hirschhorn’s General Cigar, which makes every 7th cigar smoked in America.” In the beginning of the 1920’s tobacco growing was introduced in Israel to solve problems of unemployment. Tobacco is grown in northern Israel mainly in the non-Jewish sector. In 1969 the Israel government earned revenue of one hundred million Israeli lira from the taxes on the manufacturing of the product. [RED’s note: When I was a rabbi in Richmond, Virginia I did not have easy access to obtaining bokser for Tu B’Shevat. I was able to obtain it from the Philip Morris Tobacco Company which used the carob tree product in the manufacturing of aromatic pipe tobacco.]

PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS

SHABBAT ZACHOR 1. On the Shabbat before Purim, (March 15th) a Second

Torah scroll is taken out and Deuteronomy 25:17-19 is read. The Torah commands us to remember Amalek who attacked Israel immediately after the exodus from Egypt. Since Haman was a descendent of Amalek, the portion is read right before Purim.

2. A second reading of Zachor will take place in the Sanctuary right after the 9:00 a.m. Minyan.

3. All males and females are required to listen to this special reading.

FAST OF ESTHER

Taanit Esther (Fast of Esther) is observed on Thursday, March 13th from daybreak (6:24 a.m.) until dark (8:05 p.m.)

GIVING OF THE HALF SHEKEL 1. Our custom is to give three coins to charity before the

Minchah service on the Fast of Esther. These coins should be the half-denomination in the country in which they are given. The coins need not be silver.

2. Since the observance of the Fast of Esther is Thursday, March 13th, plates will be out Thursday evening at Minchah for the giving of these coins. Plates will also be out on Sunday morning, Purim Day, for this mitzvah, if not observed earlier.

3. Our custom is to obligate all males above bar mitzvah in the giving of these coins.

4. Women are exempt from this practice. 5. One may not use funds previously allocated for charity

for these coins.

PURIM 1. One should wear Shabbat clothes on Purim. 2. A man should not masquerade as a woman on Purim

or vice versa. 3. Any unnecessary involved work is prohibited on Purim

except: a) Writing is permitted. b) Conducting business is allowed. 4. One is allowed to partake of intoxicating beverages for

the purpose of merry-making on Purim, but only till the point before which he is unable to differentiate between cursing Haman and blessing Mordechai. Becoming drunk is not a mitzvah and is to be avoided.

5. We recite Al HaNissim on Purim in the Shemoneh Esrei and in Birkat HaMazon. If forgotten, one need not repeat.

There are four laws incumbent upon all Jews on Purim: 1. THE MEGILLAH READING 2. MISHLOACH MANOT (the sending of food parcels) 3. MATANOT LA'EVYONIM (gifts to the poor) 4. SEUDAT PURIM (the Purim feast)

THE MEGILLAH READING 1. Both men and women are required to hear the Megillah

read both at night and during the day. 2. At night, the Megillah reading may start only after

nightfall (this year, after 8:09 p.m. on March 15th). In shul, we begin Maariv at 8:09 p.m. with Megillah reading beginning promptly at 8:25 p.m. in the Social Hall. (8:45 p.m. in the Sanctuary.) During the day, the Megillah may be read after sunrise.

3. One must listen attentively to every word being read in order to fulfill the mitzvah. Talking is prohibited during the Megillah reading.

4. The following four verses are read aloud by the congregation before the reader: Chapter 2:5, 8:15, 8:16, 10:3.

5. The names of the Ten Sons of Haman should be read in one breath. If this was not done, the mitzvah is still fulfilled.

6. A microphone should not be used for the Megillah reading.

7. The Megillah should be completely spread out and folded before the blessings are recited.

8. Three blessings are recited before the reading: a) b) c) The Shehecheyanu blessing is recited for the daytime

reading, keeping in mind that it refers to the other mitzvot of the day as well.

MISHLOACH MANOT

1. The mitzvah to send Mishloach Manot on Purim day is incumbent on every male and female.

2. Preferably the mitzvah should be performed after hearing the Megillah reading on Purim day.

3. This mitzvah is performed by sending at least two major different types of food to one person.

4. The food sent should be ready for consumption upon arrival. Canned foods are acceptable. Different cuts of meat are considered separate food types, as are wines of different colors.

5. One may not fulfill this mitzvah by sending tobacco products, clothes, seforim, money, or foods needing to be cooked.

6. Mishloach Manot should be sent to someone with whom one has a previous friendship. It is permissible to send to one's teacher, student, father, son, brother, or of course, one's rabbi.

7. One fulfills the mitzvah even if the recipient is sick and unable to eat the food.

8. The recipient must be aware of the identity of the sender.

9. It is traditional to send Mishloach Manot through a messenger, but this is not required.

10. One should not send Mishloach Manot to a mourner, and the mourner should send only to one person.

Purim 5774/2014 Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Page 21 PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS (cont.)

MATANOT LA'EVYANIM

1. Every male and female must give food or money to the poor on Purim day.

2. The requirement is to give to at least two poor people (men or women) enough food or the equivalent in money for a minimal Purim meal.

3. This mitzvah should preferably be performed after the Megillah reading on Purim day.

4. A poor person is also required to fulfill this mitzvah. 5. Canceling a debt is not a fulfillment of this mitzvah. 6. One may appoint a messenger before Purim to give the

money or food on the day of Purim. The Rabbi will gladly assist you in the performance of this mitzvah.

7. It is not necessary that the poor know the identity of the donor.

8. If there are no poor people available on Purim, one should set aside the money to be given at a later date.

9. Rabbi Davis visits poor people on Purim day and will be your messenger in the performance of this mitzvah, if you wish.

SEUDAT PURIM

1. Most of the Purim festival meal should take place

during the day, preferably after Minchah. 2. Candles should be lit during the meal, without a

brachah. 3. It is preferable not to eat this meal alone. 4. Bread and meat should be eaten. A sandwich does not

a seudah make.

SHUSHAN PURIM

1. The day after Purim is Shushan Purim when a special meal should be encouraged.

2. Al HaNissim is not said.

LAWS OF PURIM AND MOURNING

The mourner is required to hear the Megillah just like everyone else. The mourner is required to send Shalach Manot to only one person, but no one should send Shalach Manot to a mourner. (In general, a mourner should not send to nor receive a gift from anyone during his year of mourning. The mourner's spouse may receive and send Shalach Manot on Purim). The mourner is required to give money to the poor on Purim. If the mourner himself is poor, then he may receive tzedakah funds on Purim or any time of the year. The mourner should have the Purim Seudah. He should eat the festive meal with only his family and not participate in any masquerade. (In general, the mourner is permitted to attend a kiddush after services provided a full meal is not served. He is permitted to drink a L'Chaim with friends, attend a graduation, or an engagement reception with no meal or music. The prohibition centers around the presence of music or a festive dinner).

IN APPRECIATION: We recently participated in the Feed the Homeless program. I had not been there for a few months, and was saddened to see how many people came in for lunch. The need is so big, and it is a good feeling to know that we can help. I would like to thank my committee who dedicate hours and money to this important cause: David & Monica Genet, Stanley Parker, Iz Warman, Hannah & David Hostyk. We are very proud of the children who volunteered and helped bring food and drinks, and clothing which is in great demand. The children who helped are: Alec and Eitan Gelman, Ariella and Yonah Greenberg, Emily Dennis, Dahlia Sered, Noa and Dov Stier, with some of their parents, Sheryl Dennis, Wendy Gelman and Anna Greenberg. Many thanks to all of you! We welcome new volunteers. -- Batzi Berman
