Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Hanoch and Tzivie Hecht     Short Thought   Lift up … the offering-pans of these mortal sinners, and beat them into sheets with which to plate the altar; for they have been offered to G-d, and have become sanctified (17:2-3) These pans have been sanctified, said G-d to Moses. Their very metal has been hallowed by an act which, though sinful and severely punished, was motivated by a holy desire — a desire to come close to Me. The copper plating of the Altar holds an eternal lesson: If such is G-d’s regard for a piece of inanimate metal, certainly no human being is irredeemable. For no matter how deleterious his deeds, they hide a desire and striving, intrinsic to every creature of G-d, for the goodness and perfection of the Divine. (The Lubavitcher Rebbe)         Humor A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. “I love my daughter dearly, and now I welcome you into the family,” said the man. “To show you how much we care for you, I’m making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and manage the operations.”  The son-in-law interrupted, “I hate factories. I can’t stand the noise.”   “I see,” replied the father-in-law. “Well, then you’ll work in the office and take charge of those responsibilities.”   “I hate office work,” said the son-on-law. “I can’t stand being stuck behind a desk all day.”   “Wait a minute,” said the father-in-law. “I just made you half-owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don’t like factories and won’t work in an office. What am I going to do with you?”   “Easy,” said the young man. “Buy me out.”   Announcements   Please say Tehilim for a complete Refuah Shelemah for our friends:  Mr. Jeff Monkash.

Parshat Korach

Rosh Chodesh Tammz

  

Pirkei Avot: Chapter 4

A word from the Rabbi

B”H               Shabbat Services: 10:00 AM. This Shabbat, in tribute to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, there will be a special farbrengen (get together) with a delicious kiddush following services. Please join us for the Minyan on this special & auspicious day. This coming Tuesday marks the 19th Yartzait of our beloved Rebbe of Blessed Memory.   The Rebbe was a light in the darkness of our world, a man who brought leadership to a world on the brink of despair. The Rebbe was driven by the vision of a whole and complete world. A world healed from its wounds and sufferings. A Jewish people who were no longer sought out for death, but rather a people that would be sought out for life and love. The Rebbe was a true leader. A selfless individual with high moral standards and the backbone to stand up for them. He reached out and loved all people, Jew and non-Jew, diplomat or day laborer, righteous or sinner. Yet his love didn’t hold him back from saying what needed to be said, doing what needed to be  done, for whomsoever it would benefit. I will be traveling to New York to visit the Rebbe’s resting place to pray and reflect on this auspicious day, and would like to include you and and yours in my prayers.    If you would like me to do so, please email me YOUR NAME AND YOUR MOTHER’S NAME (in Hebrew or Yiddish if possible) and the names of all those you would like me to mention together with any specific need you would like me to pray for.     You can also email/or fax this directly to the Center at the resting place at ohel@ohelchabad.org 718-723-4444   May all our prayers be answered!   Congratulations!   To our Chabad Hebrew School ALEF CHAMPS on their accomplishments this year!

Dear Friends,  This week’s parsha tells the story of the Korach’s rebellion against Moses and how one of the instigators was spared from the tragic fate that befell Korach and his group. Korach, besides being a member of one of the Jewish people’s most distinguished families, was also learned, wise, wealthy, and among the inner circle of Moses’ and Aaron’s closest confidants. On, the son of Pelet, by contrast, was not at all exceptional. His appearance here is the only time he is mentioned in Jewish history. Both his intellectual capabilities and his lineage were quite ordinary. Yet, both their fates took an unexpected turn, each leading to just the opposite of where logic would have predicted. Korach came to a bad end and dragged hundreds of other people down with him. On, on the other hand, was the only one of Korach’s entire assembly who was saved and emerged completely unscathed. What was the difference? The behavior of their wives. We are told in the Midrash that On’s wife attempted to dissuade him. “What are you getting involved for?” she asked. “What difference does it make to you? If Aaron is the high priest you will be a student, and if Korach becomes the high priest you will still be a student.” Since her arguments did not dissuade him, she gave him wine until he was drunk, and put him to bed. Then she sat, together with her daughter, at the opening of their tent with her hair uncovered. When Korach and his friends came to call On, they saw her and turned away, and so On was saved. So On’s wife saved him and their entire family, albeit only in the final hours. Korach’s wife, on the other hand, encouraged him in his rebellion and thus led to the downfall of her husband and all of his followers. Indeed, this is the great responsibility of the wife and mother in every home. Her own destiny, her husband’s, and her entire family’s is entirely in her hands. Shabbat Shalom,    Rabbi Yacov & Hindy Borenstein www.chabdmidhudsonvalley.com

But even as the menorah’s form expresses the diversity within Israel, there are two laws which point to the menorahs integrity. One law concerns the making of the menorah, and the second law, the manner of its lighting. An artifact of the menorah’s complexity is usually fashioned by first molding each of its parts on their and then welding them together. The menorah, however, was hammered out of a single piece of gold, originating as a single object and remaining a single object through the various stages of its construction to the finished product. This represents the fact that while there are nations that are a coalition of variant groups, each formed by its own ancestry and experience but welded together by common interest and habitat, this is not the case with the Jewish people: all souls of Israel are of a single essence, and their division into distinct individuals is merely their investment into different bodies and physical lives. The second law is that although the menorah sheds its light with seven lamps, they must all be turned toward the central stem, in keeping with G-d’s instruction to Aaron that “the seven lamps shall give light toward the face of the menorah.” This expresses the truth that although the soul of Israel shines not with a single light, but by means of a seven-lamp menorah representing the various prototypes of human character (the seven sefirot), at the same time, all lamps of the menorah face the body from which they extend, emphasizing their singular origin and their singular goal. In other words: we all come from the same place, and we are all oriented toward the same goal. The differences are only in order to better express our Source and to more completely achieve our goal. Which makes them not differences, but the ultimate expression of oneness. (The Lubavitcher Rebbe)     Humor Issy walks into a central London bank and says he’s going to America for two weeks and needs to borrow £5,000. For collateral, he offers his new Rolls Royce. The bank is satisfied and parks it in their secured underground garage.  Two weeks later to the day, Issy returns to the bank and repays the £5,000 plus interest of £9.41  The loan officer says inquiringly, “Sir, we were delighted to have your business but checking your credit, we learned you are a multimillionaire. Why ever did you need to borrow £5,000?”  “Where else in central London could I park my car for two weeks for £9.41    Announcements   Mazal Tov to Shelby Quackenbush on her graduation         from UAlbany  Please say Tehilim for a complete Refuah Shelemah for our friends:  Mr. Jeff Monkash.

We sincerely hope to see you at all our Shavuos programs and services! More info below and on our website: www.RhinebeckJewishCenter.com May we all receive the Torah with joy! Shabbat Shalom and Happy Shavuos, Rabbi Hanoch and Tzivie Hecht Short Thought Shavuos: 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. The word Shavuot means “weeks.” It marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot. 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. In ancient times, two wheat loaves would be offered in Holy Temple. It was also at this time that people would begin to bring bikkurim, their first and choicest fruits, to thank G-d for Israel’s bounty. The holiday of Shavuot is a two-day holiday, beginning at sundown of the 5th of Sivan and lasting until nightfall of the 7th of Sivan. Humor Chaim Yankel from Chelm was getting pretty desperate for money. He decided to go to the nicer, richer town nearby and look for odd jobs as a handy man. The first house he came to, a man answered the door and told Chaim Yankel,”Yeah, I have a job for you. How would you like to paint the porch?” “Sure that sounds great!” said Chaim Yankel. “Well, how much do you want me to pay you?” asked the man. “Is fifty bucks all right?” Chaim Yankel asked. “Yeah, great. You’ll find the paint and ladders you’ll need in the garage.” The man went back into his house to his wife who had been listening. “Fifty bucks! Does he know the porch goes all the way around the house?” asked the wife. “Well, he must, he was standing right on it!” her husband replied. About 45 minutes later, Chaim Yankel knocked on the door. “I’m all finished,” he told the surprised homeowner. The man was amazed. “You painted the whole porch?” “Yeah,” Chaim Yankel replied, “I even had some paint left, so I put on two coats!” The man reached into his wallet to pay Chaim Yankel. “Oh, and by the way,” said Chaim Yankel, “That’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.” Announcements Please say Tehilim for a complete Refuah Shelemah for our friends: Mr. Jeff Monkash.
