Iyar-Sivan-Tammuz 5777 4

This season is the season dedicated to the Holy City and Eternal Capital of the Jewish People – Jerusalem. We have only just finished our seders where we sang ‘Lshanah Habah B-Yerushalayim’. It seems so much of what we do in Judaism and so much of our focus on the international political scene is centred around the Holy City.

As we know, this year, 2017, marks the 50th anniversary

of the Six Day War. Since 1967, for the first time since the Roman destruction of the Temple and the expulsion of Jews from our homeland, the entire city of Jerusalem came under Jewish control. After the rubble was cleared and debris taken away, the Kotel, the Western Wall was finally opened to civilians for the first time on the holiday of Shavuot. Over 200,000 reportedly made the trek (literally fulfilling the biblical mandate of “going up to Jerusalem – Aliya L’Regel”) and there they cried, prayed, danced, and sang - truly a miracle and homecoming the likes of which we and our ancestors prayed for close to 2000 years.

The emotional outpouring at that time was immense. Here are the words of Michael Oren, American-Israeli historian and author of the book Six Days of War: “Even for these very secular kibbutznicks, people who had never been inside a synagogue in their life, the feeling was overwhelming. Chief of Staff Yitzchak Rabin and Moshe Dayan, the Defense Minister, both very secular Jews, read Psalms at the Wall and wept. It was just overwhelming for everyone.”

As we celebrate what Jerusalem means to us, CBTASNH will be having a special Yom Yerushalayim concert in honour of the city of Jerusalem. With top Israeli performing artist Yonatan Razel, our very own Cantor Yossi Pomerantz and Or Shalom’s Orel Gozlan, we will have a night to remember and celebrate. Looking forward to seeing you on May 23

“PARTICIPACTION”

For those of you who remember the radio and television

commercials for “Participaction”, I am sure it grabbed you,

as it did me. “Participaction” started a government incentive

to promote healthy physical activity among Canadians. I love

the slogan and the meaning behind it, as did many others who

continue to use it as part of their everyday lives. I would like to

use it in a slightly different context for CBTASNH.

For me as President, I see the word as an incentive for our Shul and community

to grow. “Participaction” - Participate and you will see action!! For those who

are reading this, you see where I am going.

The strength of any organization is “People”. It’s the “People” who drive the

outcome of any initiative, no matter what it is. In our case it could be so many

things: from being a member, to joining religious functions, being a board

member, being associated with some of our many committees, or just being part

of our events that we have on a monthly basis.

For example our annual BBQ led by the Markel’s and their committee, brings in

more than 400 adults and children every year. And this year we tested the waters

with bringing back theatre music into our building, and it attracted more than

1000 people over 4 days. Our scotch tasting in April led by Ernie Furt, Jamie

Matlin and their committee, saw a record breaking 123 people attend. Our new

Speakers Series, spearheaded by Renana Chemtov and her incredible group of

people has been a tremendous success this year. In fact our last one for this

season on May 16th will feature Josh Freed, columnist of the Montreal Gazette.

More than 500 people will have been present for this series. On May 23rd

we will

be hosting a Cantorial Concert featuring the world famous Yonatan Razel from

Israel and Cantors Yossi Pomerantz and Orel Gozlan for this special Yom

Yerushalayim celebration. Our golf tournament which will be held on May 29th at

Elmridge Golf Club, will gather a great crowd as well. These events and also

others such as raffle, ORT, challah baking, youth, and all other activities and

programs are truly what make us who we are.

If you’re not sure how to get involved, or uncomfortable coming to that first event,

call me or any of our board members and we will help make it work for you.

“Participaction” supports the synagogue, our community and will enrich your

life.

While the Counting of the Omer is a semi-mourning period, all restrictions of mourning are lifted on this 33rd day of the Omer. As a result, weddings, parties, listening to music, and haircuts are commonly scheduled to coincide

with this day. However, the most popular activity on the holiday is creating a bonfire (this is particularly popular in Israel). Other activities include having picnics and playing sports.

HEBREW ACADEMY NEWS March was a very busy month at Hebrew Academy Afternoon School. The month began with our Purim celebration. The entire school had the opportunity to watch a play, “The Purim Juggling Experience”, which was presented by The Living Legacy. The students greatly enjoyed the creative manner in which the story of Purim was brought to life. Naturally, hamantashen were enjoyed by all. Thank you so much to those who supported our Purim Mishloach Manot Fundraiser. We exceeded our expectations! Many thanks to our generous sponsors: Provigo, Provigo St. Jean, Noble Foods, Regitan, Splendid Chocolates, Paradise Kosher, Menchie’s and Randi & Larry Engler. A special thank you to our incredible Parent Committee for their commitment and dedication. Your efforts do not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

Immediately following our spring break and during our record breaking snowstorm, our Kittah Daled families made the extreme effort to celebrate “Shabbat on a Wednesday” with their children. Our well-prepared Kittah Daled students demonstrated their vast knowledge of and appreciation for Shabbat by reciting prayers, singing songs, and answering questions pertaining to the symbolism of this Holy Day. A light Shabbat meal was enjoyed.

Our Kittah Hay students and their parents ended their Jewish Journey with Rabbi Fishman. Their final meeting began with a presentation of the students’ group projects and ended with a very enlightening presentation by Rabbi Fishman.

To close the month of March, our Kittah Vav students accompanied Rabbi Fishman on a visit to the senior’s residence, Le Selection West Island, who were thrilled to be visited by our students. In addition to brightening the day of these seniors, our students learned the valuable lesson of Bikur Cholim.

Hebrew Academy Afternoon School began the month of April with Passover Seders. Our Kindergarten and grade one family Seders included the traditional Pesach blessings, Four Questions, Charoseth, Maror, etc. as well as a little unconventional dancing lead by our Israeli shinshim. Kittah Bet- Kittah Vav enjoyed pleasant and meaningful Seder celebrations with their classmates and teachers.

After the Pesach break, Kittah Hay and Kittah Vav classes had the opportunity to participate in a Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) program. Our students were privileged to meet a Holocaust survivor and hear his very poignant story.

In the upcoming weeks, we look forward to our Kittah Bet siddur celebration, school-wide Yom Ha’atzmaut parade and our Kittah Vav graduation. Mazel Tov To our 2017 graduates!

Please note that early bird registration for next year is presently in full swing. Take advantage of the discount for early registration, available to you until May 30th. Please call the shul office for more information (514) 683-5610 or email [email protected]

Guématriot liées à Chavouot

La guématia est le calcul de la valeur numérique des lettres et des

mots hébraïques. Il s’agit de la 29ème

des 32 règles de l’herméneutique

rapportées par Rabbi Yossi Hagueli à la fin du traité talmudique de

Berachot. C’est une Halacha leMoché miSinaï, c’est-à-dire une loi

donnée oralement à Moïse, et qui est donc une partie intégrante de la

Loi Orale.

Je vous propose ici quelques exemples de guématriot (pluriel de guématria) liés à la fête

de Chavouot. Le but n’est pas de prouver quoi que ce soit, mais plutôt de vous inciter à

réfléchir sur divers thèmes liés à la fête.

Commençons par un peu de Kabbale. Les « Sephiroth » sont les puissances créatrices

énumérées par la Kabbale dans son approche mystique du mystère de la Création. Chaque

Sephira est l'émanation d'une énergie du Dieu Créateur. Les premiéres guématriot vont

mettre en lumière les liens qui existent entre la fête de Chavouot et les trois premières

sefirot que sont Keter, ‘Hochma et Bina.

Le deuxième nom que porte la fête de Chavouot est « Atséret », qu’on écrit avec les

lettres Ayin – Tsadik – Rech – Tav, pour une valeur totale de 70+90+200+400=760.

Cette valeur de 760 est égale à la somme des valeurs des 3 sephirot susmentionnées :

Kéter vaut 620 (20+400+200), ‘hochma vaut 73 (8+20+40+5), et bina vaut 57

(2+10+50+5). La guématria nous fait donc observer qu’il existe un lien entre la fête de

Chavouot et ces trois puissances créatives :

70 + 90 + 200 + 400 = 760 = 620 + 73 +57

La valeur numérique d’Atséret qui, comme nous venons de le voir, est de 760, est aussi la

somme des valeurs numériques de « Chor » (qui signifie taureau et dont la valeur est 506)

et de « ‘Hamor » (qui signifie âne et dont la valeur est 254). Le taureau et l’âne évoquent

les deux qualités nécessaires à l’étude assidue de la Tora. Ainsi, lorsque Jacob bénit son

fils Yssachar, appelé à s’adonner à l’étude de la Tora, il dit qu’Issachar est un âne musclé

(Genèse 49 :14), et d’une manière générale, le taureau et l’âne sont capables de porter de

lourdes charges, comme le disciple de la Tora qui accepte le joug de la Tora. À Atseret

(donc Chavouot), les Hébreux ont accepté la Tora qui exige des qualités du taureau et de

l’âne qui élèvent le Juif jusqu’aux sphères supérieures que sont Keter, ‘Hochma et Bina.

506 + 254 = 620 + 73 +57 = 70 + 90 + 200 + 400 = 760

Le ‘petit nombre’ de Atséret (obtenu en ne considérant pas les 0 dans les valeurs des

lettres) est 7+9+2+4=22. Il s’agit du même ‘petit nombre’ qu’on associe à la fête de

Pessah puisque les valeurs des lettres qui constituent le mot Pessah sont 80 pour Pe, 60

Page 19: Cover page Image - Congregation Beth Tikvah · Rabbi Mark Fishman 4 Josh Freed 14 Playful Parenting 27 John Mestel President 5 Cantorial Concert 15 Donations 30 Our

May – June 2017

19

pour Samech, et 8 pour ‘Het, ce qui donne le petit nombre 8+6+8=22. Cette guématria

souligne le lien qui existe entre les fêtes de Pessah et de Chavouot.

7 + 9+2 +4 = 22 = 8 +6 +8

Celui qui se prépare mal à la fête de Chavouot ne parviendra pas au niveau de spiritualité

espéré, et tombera dans l’état de « Tsara’at » qui est une anagramme de Atséret, et qui

constitue une forme d’impureté, ainsi qu’un « Tsar-Et » qui signifie « temps de

malheur ». La chute de Atséret vers Tsara’at et Tsar-Et est due au glissement de la lettre

Ayin (qui signifie ‘œil’) qui passe de la 1ère à l’avant-dernière position: dans Atséret, le

Ayin est au début du mot, indiquant que lorsque c’est l’œil de l’esprit qui prévaut chez

l’homme, on parvient à l’état de spiritualité recherché; par contre, lorsque les forces

impures bouchent l’esprit et aveuglent « l’œil », il se crée une situation de Tsara’at et de

Tsar-Et, c’est-à-dire de malheur pour l’homme et le monde.

La fête de Chaouot vient au terme d’une période de 49 jours de préparation

(l’Omer) pendant lesquels l’homme se forge un bon cœur, un « Lev Tov ».

La valeur de Lev est 30+2=32 et celle de Tov est 9+6+2+17, et leur somme

est donc 32+17=49 qui correspond au nombre de jours qui séparent Pessah

de Chavouot. C’est d’ailleurs ce qui a incité le Bené Yssachar à partager la période de

l’Omer en deux parties : la 1ère partie qui va jusqu’à Lag baOmer non-compris, soit 32

jours, et la 2ème partie qui va de Lag baOmer à Chavouot, soit 17 jours.

L’importance de Lag baOmer transparaît dans sa valeur numérique. En effet, la guématria

de Lag baOmer est 30+3+2+70+40+200=345, ce qui est égal à la valeur de Moché. C’est

à Lag baOmer qu’a été révélée la Tradition ésotérique par Rabbi Chimon bar Yo’haï qui,

selon cette même Tradition, était la réincarnation de l’âme de Moché.

30 + 3 + 2 + 70 + 40 + 200 = 345 = 40 + 300 + 5

D’après les Maîtres de la Kabbale, les 49 jours de l’Omer sont des jours de jugement, car

Hachem se rapproche de Son peuple pendant cette période, et la proximité de la Sainteté

implique de plus grandes exigences morales et spirituelles pour le Juif. Cette idée

transparaît dans la valeur numérique de l’expression « El ‘Haï » qui signifie « Dieu

vivant » et qui vaut 1+30+8+10=49. En d’autres termes, le Dieu vivant réside au milieu

de nous pendant les 49 jours de préparation à la fête de Chavouot.

32 + 17 = 49 = 1+ 30 + 8 + 10

Je vous souhaite une bonne fête de Chavouot, riche en études de la Tora.

Iyar-Sivan-Tammuz 5777 20

The Torah was given by G-d to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai more than 3300 years ago. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of G-d's gift, and G-d "re-gives" the Torah”.

In biblical times Shavuot also marked the beginning of the new agricultural season and was called Hag HaKatzir, which means

“The Harvest Holiday.” Other names Shavuot is known by are “The Feast of Weeks”

which marks the completion of the seven week counting period between Passover and Shavuot and Hag HaBikurim, meaning “The Holiday of First Fruits.” This last name comes from the practice of bringing fruits to the Temple on Shavuot. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE the Rabbis connected Shavuot with the

Revelation at Mt. Sinai, when G-d gave the Ten Commandments to the Jewish people. This is why Shavuot celebrates the giving and receiving of the Torah in modern times. The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching spiritual event, one that touched the essence of the Jewish soul for all times. Our sages have compared it to a wedding between G-d and the Jewish people. Shavuot also means "oaths," for on this day G-d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him. It is a Shavuot tradition to adorn the synagogue and the home with greenery, fragrant flowers, leaves, boughs and trees. The holiday of Shavuot is a two-day holiday, beginning at sundown of the 6

th of Sivan,

May 30th

and lasting until nightfall of the 7th

of Sivan, June 1st

.

Women and girls light holiday candles to usher in the holiday, on both the first and second evenings of the holidays. Candles on the first night are lit at 8:16 PM and on the second night must be lit from an existing flame after 9:32 PM. As on other holidays, special meals

are eaten, and no "work" may be performed. The Ten Commandments combine two sets of relationships: Duties between man and G-d, and our duties from person to person. Come with your children to the Synagogue to hear the Ten Commandments. Many Jews commemorate Shavuot by spending the entire night studying Torah at their synagogue or at home. This all-night gathering is known as Tikun Leyl Shavuot and at dawn Wednesday, May 31

st at 4:00 AM they recite Shacharit, the morning prayer.

It is customary to eat dairy foods on Shavuot. Among other reasons, this commemorates the fact that upon receiving the Torah, including the kosher laws, the Jewish people could not cook meat in their pots, which had yet to be rendered kosher. On the second day of Shavuot, the Yizkor memorial service is recited.
