From the Desk of the Chief Rabbi of the Perth Hebrew Congrega$on Inc Rabbi Dovid Freilich OAM T H E P H C I G E R E T SHAVUOS COUNTDOWN We have been counting down to Shavuos since second day Pesach with the counting of the Omer. From yesterday’s count, which was the 43rd day, if my mathematics serves me correctly, there are 5 days to go – not very long!! Shavuos is a major festival. Without it we would not have the wonderful heritage that we enjoy, for it celebrates the giving of the Torah which not only is a guide to us, but has been the foundation of moral and ethical living for the whole world. We like celebrating it in style in our shule. Therefore, all are invited to a Shavuos dinner in the shule with great entertainment, an enjoyable quiz, which should be lots of fun, delicious milchig foods and very good company. This is being catered by Yofi’s and PHC. I don’t like talking about prices, so please see the advertisement. Please come along and have a really enjoyable Shavuos yomtov meal. Over Shavuos, Perth Synagogue will be hosting a scholar-in-residence Rabbi Yehoshua Grunstein, originally from America and now residing in Israel. As Director of the Straus-Amiel Institute, Rabbi Grunstein is responsible for the training and placement of rabbis. His visit, which is being personally sponsored by me and Aviva, will enhance Shavuos (the season of the giving of our Torah) to the whole community. Rabbi Grunstein is a modern-Orthodox rabbi who is passionately Zionist, and has been responsible for the training and placement of no less than three of the younger rabbis in the community. Rabbi Grunstein not only has a wonderful talent of adapting Torah concepts to contemporary life, but does so in an interesting, entertaining and witty manner. Rabbi Grunstein will conduct the tikun l’el Shavuos in the Perth Beit Midrash on the first night of Shavuos and will be giving the sermons on both days of Shavuos in the main shule as well as on the Shabbos after Shavuos. His time in Perth will end with a breakfast for the women on Sunday morning 19 May in Perth Synagogue’s Korsunski Foyer. Although Rabbi Grunstein is a guest of the synagogue, the whole community would greatly benefit from coming to hear him and enjoying his thoughts and insights into contemporary Jewish issues both in the Diaspora and in Israel. ד ’ סב P A G E 3
