Dvar Tefila

Birchat HaTorah (Artscroll Siddur pg. 16)

“Blessed are You Hashem…who selected us from all the nations and gave us His Torah”

Earlier this week we celebrated Shavuot, the holiday on which we commemorate our

receiving the Torah. A Midrash suggests that Hashem first offered the Torah to all the

other nations of the world. Each nation had its reasons for declining the offer. Only then

did Hashem offer the Torah to Bnai Yisrael, who gladly accepted. If that’s the case, asks

Rav Shaul Yosef Nathanson, how can we say each day in this bracha that “Hashem

selected us from all the nations”?

Rav Nathanson answers by quoting another Midrash: at Mt Sinai, the Jewish People got

“cold feet” and Hashem had to hold the mountain over their heads as a threat in order for

the Jews to go through with accepting the Torah. Accepting the Torah was made

challenging because the payoff is so great. Hashem chose the Jewish People for added

strength and fortitude necessary to fully embrace the Torah. Through this choosing we are

able to see the big picture - that Torah is a benefit for us, even as it can seem challenging

at times.

D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

This week I attended a presentation for parents organized by Brauser Maimonides Academy

presented by Dr. Eli Shapiro, creator of the Digital Citizenship Project. The goal of this project

is to help children utilize technology in a healthy and positive way. One of the things we have

to teach our children (and remind ourselves) is the notion of our “digital footprint”: that

everything we post on social media and any place that we are mentioned on the internet

becomes part of our permanent record, accessible via internet by anyone even years and

decades later. Dr. Shapiro shared a news article that in 2017, Harvard University rescinded

the admission of ten students after uncovering offensive and inappropriate posts on private

Facebook messaging groups.

Some are fighting for a limit on the accessibility of their digital footprint. In 2014, the

Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that Google had to remove links to out-

of-date information about a Spanish man, because he wanted to be free of people learning

about his bankruptcy more than a decade before, every time they searched for his name.

This has become known as “the right to be forgotten”, and other European countries have

adopted similar policies. Though some want there to be a “right to be forgotten” in the US,

most scholars find it unlikely that such a law could pass, since it might violate the First

Amendment (free speech and free press).

Judaism does not believe in a “right to be forgotten”. As the Mishna in Pirkei Avot (2:1)

teaches us:

Apply your mind to three things and you will not come into the clutches of sin: Know

what there is above you: an eye that sees, an ear that hears, and all your deeds

are written in a book.

At the end of Parshat Nasso we read about the donations offered by the Nesiim at the

time of the dedication of the altar. Rashi (7:3) notes that whereas at the building of the

Mishkan the princes donated last, here they donate first. Rashi explains that earlier the

princes made a mistake by waiting to see what was needed to finish building the Mishkan

(and nothing was needed.) This time, the princes learned from their mistake and are the first

to bring gifts.

This week marked the passing of Rabbi Nathan Kamenetsky, son of Rav Yaakov

Kamenetsky and author of the (in)famous book The Making of a Gadol. In a 2003 New York

Times article about the book, Joseph Berger noted:

What has made the book so controversial is that the portraits are perhaps too human.

Rather than the saintly figures often depicted in biographies for the Orthodox market,

the Lithuanian sages -- a godol is a great sage -- are shown wrestling with the lures of

secular life and with their own sometimes crusty personalities. Even as they display

remarkable analytic powers in tackling the Talmud, they read Tolstoy, they have

relatives tempted by Communism, they write love letters to their fiancées, they are

mercurial and moody.

As a result, the first edition of his book was banned by some Rabbis. However Rabbi

Kamenetsky defended his book by noting that all details of a great person should be

remembered, as it provides a full picture of their greatness. For us, knowing that great

Jewish leaders struggled with shortcomings and confronted challenges similar to ours, allows

us to appreciate them more. And if they had similar struggles then we should look to them

as role models whom we can emulate, and not angels that have nothing in common with

mere mortals. Here again, we are reminded that all of one’s deeds are remembered; not

only in Heaven but here on earth.

IDF Destroying Hezbollah's Last, Largest Cross-Border Attack Tunnel

Six months after the Israeli military declared an end to Operation Northern Shield, the IDF has begun destroying the final and largest cross-border tunnel dug by Hezbollah into Israeli territory, The Jerusalem Post reported. The tunnel began in the Lebanese village of Ramiyeh and stretched one kilometer before infiltrating several meters into northern Israel, close to the communities of Zarit and Shtula. It was the last one discovered by the IDF in early January, the largest and most strategic of the six cross-border tunnels dug by the Lebanese Shi’ite group. Hezbollah had planned to have dozens of armed terrorists attack the nearby communities in the next war with Israel. Unlike the tunnels dug by terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip, each one found by the military on the Lebanese border had different characteristics, with some strengthened by concrete while others were burrowed straight into the rock. The Ramiyeh tunnel had been dug at a depth of 80 meters and had 20 flights of stairs. The tunnel, which took Hezbollah several years to dig, also contained railroads to transport equipment and garbage, and was equipped with lighting equipment, air-conditioning and ladders.

Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org.

Record funding of $2.5 million for Florida Jewish day schools, championed by

Teach Florida, was matched by wins in New York and New Jersey in

campaigns led by Teach NYS and Teach NJ. After NJ deleted security funding

for nonpublic schools from the budget, Teach NJ fought back in an impressive

campaign to double the per student allocation and win record funding of

$150 per student. Teach NYS successfully advocated for a 270% increase to

$40 million for nonpublic schools, daycares and, for the first time ever,

summer camps. For more information email teachflorida@teachcoalition.org
