A Message from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar<br />
It is a great pleasure and honor to greet you at this<br />
auspicious time, together with Chani and all the Shluchim<br />
and Shluchos, to send our best wishes for this special New<br />
Year 5”770” which begins on Shabbos.<br />
When Rosh Hashana coincides with Shabbos the Shofar is<br />
only sounded in the Temple (Beit Hamikdash) but not in<br />
the rest of the country. This comports with the decree<br />
established by the great Talmudic sage Rabbah, to<br />
safeguard a person who might go to seek instruction on<br />
how to blow the Shofar from a Master and will transgress<br />
by inadvertently carrying the Shofar in the public domain<br />
on Shabbos.<br />
Every area of Torah, including Talmud, Midrash and<br />
Kabbalah, emphasizes the enormous importance and<br />
critical aspects of blowing Shofar, which impacts not only<br />
the particular requirements of Rosh Hashana, but affects<br />
fundamental necessities for the entire year, both on the<br />
most sublime spiritual levels and the most basic physical<br />
realms. Shofar is in fact referred to as “the Mitzvah of the<br />
Day”.<br />
Shofar represents many factors: It is a sound of trumpets<br />
heralding the coronation of G-d as the King of the<br />
Universe; It reminds G-d of our unconditional allegiance as<br />
the Shofar is a horn of a ram which took the place of Isaac<br />
on the altar; It is the sound which the Jewish People heard<br />
at the Sinaic Revelation and the sound that will announce<br />
Moshiach; It is the cry of the child pleading with his/her<br />
Father for salvation; and many additional aspects<br />
discussed by our Rabbis.<br />
Why and how can we deny this powerful Mitzvah because<br />
some ignorant person may decide to learn to properly blow<br />
and may carry on Shabbos? Such an improbable<br />
circumstance to void this key Mitzvah!<br />
Shabbos is G-d’s day. All Holidays including Yom Kippur<br />
were established to commemorate central events in the<br />
formation of the Nation of Israel - Pesach we were<br />
liberated from enslavement and born as a Nation; Shavuos<br />
we received the Torah, culminating our complete<br />
emancipation; Sukkot, we thank Hashem for surrounding<br />
us with Clouds of Glory during our 40 year sojourn in the<br />
desert; Rosh Hashana is the anniversary of our Creation;<br />
Yom Kippur we are given the gift of forgiveness and<br />
expiation. Shabbos stands alone as the day established to<br />
commemorate G-d’s resting on the seventh day. It is a day<br />
dedicated solely to our respecting G-d that makes Shabbos<br />
so special.<br />
On that day the holy energies emanating from the Holy<br />
One, Blessed is He, are so powerful that whatever is<br />
affected by Shofar blowing is duplicated and fulfilled by<br />
the holiness of Shabbos.<br />
This year, we have dual forces: Shabbos which gives us all<br />
the benefits and blessings of the Shofar in a tranquil<br />
transcendent manner; and the actual sounds of the Shofar<br />
during the second 24 hour period of Rosh Hashana’s 48<br />
hour extended day.<br />
May we all merit all of Hashem’s blessings, represented by<br />
the full Aleph Beit starting from Aleph, the acronym of<br />
Orah/a year of light—to Taf which is the acronym for<br />
Torah/a year of Torah, and every blessing which begins<br />
with the additional 20 letters culminating with the<br />
ultimate Blessing of the coming of Moshiach during<br />
5”770”.<br />
May we all be inscribed and sealed for a good and sweet<br />
year with health and peace of mind and soul.<br />

Shabbos morning. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shul</strong> youth has worked together to organize a<br />
highly educational and fun program for children and teens of all<br />
ages. Each Shabbos morning program involves a mix of Tefilla<br />
(prayer), Parsha (weekly Torah study) and general "Jewishness",<br />
through games, songs, and stories. Taught by our very own <strong>Shul</strong><br />
Bochurim and youth girls, each child will experience Shabbos in its<br />
full glory; leaving with a taste of holiness and fun memories that will<br />
keep them coming back from week to week. A Kiddush exclusively<br />
for the children culminates the exciting program.<br />

Shabbos ~ Rosh Hashana<br />
Shabbos with the Teen Boys Minyan<br />
Ever wonder how you can teach your son to follow with a real<br />
Minyan, or even run his own? <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shul</strong> youth has created the scene.<br />
Every Shabbos morning, each teen has his own chance to play a<br />
vital role in his own <strong>Shul</strong> Minyan, lead by one of our very own<br />
Rabbis and Youth leaders. Every week all the boys have a chance to<br />
act as Chazzan, Gabbai or ‘Rabbi’. This hands-on approach gives<br />
each teen the opportunity to experience <strong>Shul</strong> and prayer to its<br />
fullest, by involving them in every aspect of the Davening.<br />
For Boys Only: ages 14-18<br />
Shabbos<br />
Child Enrichment Center Classroom # 2<br />
10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.<br />
*Please note: <strong>The</strong> Teen Minyan is strictly for the Teens. We would<br />
appreciate it if adults would stay in the Main Sanctuary.<br />

Halacha for the High Holidays<br />
Adapted from Rabbi Yosef Shusterman<br />
Tishrei 5770<br />
Rosh Hashana<br />
Erev Rosh Hashana, Friday<br />
Elul 29, September 18<br />
No Tachnun is said Erev Rosh Hashana, but it is said in the<br />
morning Selichos and the previous Mincha.<br />
No Shofar is sounded to differentiate between the obligatory<br />
blowing of Shofar on Rosh Hashana and the customary blowing<br />
in Elul; also to confuse the Satan that he should think Rosh<br />
Hashana has passed.<br />
After davening we do "Hatoras Nedorim" (annulment of vows).<br />
Although it is permissible to do this in front of three people, it is<br />
preferable to do in front of 10 (a Minyan). If one does not<br />
understand Hebrew, it should be said in English.<br />
It is proper for men to immerse in a Mikveh on Erev Rosh<br />
Hashana. We get dressed up in honor of Rosh Hashana, being<br />
certain that Hashem will bless all of us with a good and sweet<br />
year.<br />
Candle Lighting time is 7:03 p.m.<br />
(single girls light one candle.)<br />
<strong>The</strong> two Brochos are:<br />
L'Hadlik Ner Shel Shabbos v'Shel Yom Hazikaron followed by<br />
Shehechiyonu.<br />
Mincha<br />
As on every Erev Shabbos, Hodu and Posach Eliyahu are recited<br />
at Mincha.<br />
Maariv<br />
It is customary to say some Tehillim before Maariv. We begin<br />
with Mizmor L'Dovid and continue with the usual Friday night<br />
Kabbolas Shabbos. In the last verse of L'cho Dodi we say the<br />
word "B'rina," as we do normally. In the Shmoneh Esrei, we<br />
include all the Shabbos insertions. Throughout the Aseres Y'mei<br />
Teshuvah (Ten Days of Repentance) various insertions are added<br />
in the Shmoneh Esrei. Should one forget to say any of these, the<br />
Shmoneh Esrei is not repeated with the exception of "Hamelech<br />
Hakadosh." <strong>The</strong>n, the following rules apply: If one realizes<br />
immediately (within the time it takes to say the three words<br />
"Shalom Olecho Rebbe") he can immediately correct himself by<br />
saying "Hamelech Hakadosh." If, however, one does not realize<br />
immediately, or has already begun to say the next Brocho, the<br />
Shmoneh Esrei must be repeated. <strong>The</strong> same applies if the<br />
Shmoneh Esrei has been completed. It then must be repeated.<br />
This law applies for all of the Aseres Y'mei Teshuvah. After<br />
Shmoneh Esrei we say Vay'chulu, and Mogen Avos in which we<br />
substitute Hamelech Hakadosh for Hakel Hakadosh.<br />
After Maariv it is customary that we greet one another in the<br />
following way:<br />
To a man we say, "L'Shona Tova Tikosev V'saichosaim."<br />
To a woman we say, "L'Shona Tova Tikosaivi V'seichoseimie."<br />
Before Kiddush, Shalom Aleichem, Eishes Chayil, Mizmor<br />
L'Dovid, etc., are recited quietly. <strong>The</strong> Kiddush should be<br />
performed in the following order:<br />

Bringing Torah lessons to LIFE!<br />
Halacha for the High Holidays<br />
1. Yom Hashishi<br />
2. Borei P'ri Hagofen<br />
3. Birkas Kiddush for Rosh Hashana with Shabbos insertions.<br />
4. Shehechiyonu<br />
Following Hamotzi the Challah is dipped into honey three times.<br />
At the beginning of the meal (after eating the Hamotzi) we take<br />
a piece of apple, dip it into honey, say "Borei P'ri Haetz" and the<br />
"Y'hi Ratzon" and then eat it. It is customary not to eat sour or<br />
bitter foods on Rosh Hashana.<br />
When bentching, R'tzei and Ya'aleh V'yavo are added. If one<br />
forgets to say Ya'aleh V'yavo during the night of Rosh Hashana,<br />
he must repeat the bentching. However, by day it is not<br />
repeated.<br />
At the conclusion of bentching (after saying "Mimarom") we<br />
insert "Horachamon Hu Yanchilaynu L'Yom Shekulo Shabbos<br />
Um'nucha", "Horachamon Hu Yanchilaynu L'Yom Shekulo Tov",<br />
and "Horachamon Hu Y'chadesh Oleinu Es Hashana Hazos L'Tova<br />
V'livracha."<br />
First Day Rosh Hashana<br />
Shabbos<br />
Tishrei 1, September 19<br />
Throughout the Aseres Y'mei Teshuvah, "Shir Hamaalos" (Psalm<br />
130) is added after Yishtabach before Borechu. We recite the<br />
regular Shabbos davening with the Shabbos insertions added in<br />
the Rosh Hashana Shmoneh Esrei. Because Rosh Hashana and<br />
Yom Kippur are days of judgment, Hallel is not said. "Shir Shel<br />
Yom" and "L'Dovid Hashem Ori" are recited. <strong>The</strong>n we say "Atoh<br />
Horeisa," "Vay'hi Binsoa," "Hashem Hashem" (3 times), "Ribono<br />
Shel Olam," etc., after which two Sifrei Torah are taken out.<br />
On Shabbos the shofar is not blown; therefore it is muktzeh. We<br />
include the Shabbos insertions in the Rosh Hashana Musaf.<br />
At Kiddush, we recite quietly the Shabbos Kiddush from Mizmor<br />
L'Dovid through "Al Kein." <strong>The</strong>n we continue normally with the<br />
Rosh Hashana Kiddush:<br />
"Tiku BaChodesh," and "Borei Pri Hagofen."<br />
It is proper not to sleep during the day of Rosh Hashana, but to<br />
occupy oneself with Tehillim and Torah study.<br />
Mincha<br />
We read the Torah as on every Shabbos afternoon. Shabbos<br />
insertions are added in the Rosh Hashana Shmoneh Esrei.<br />
Tashlich is postponed until the second day.<br />
No preparations may be done for the second day before 7:54<br />
p.m., and only after saying Boruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh<br />
Lekodesh.<br />
Second Night Rosh Hashana<br />
Candle Lighting time is not before 7:54 p.m. only from a<br />
pre-existing flame, and after having said Boruch Hamavdil. <strong>The</strong><br />
Brochos “L’Hadlik Ner Shel Yom Hazikaron" and Shehechiyonu<br />
are recited.<br />
Maariv<br />
Maariv begins with Shir Hama'alos. In the Shmoneh Esrei<br />
"Vatodieinu" is added. If one forgot to say it, the Shmoneh Esrei<br />
is not repeated. However, before any "melacha" (which is<br />
forbidden on Shabbos but permitted on Yom Tov) is done,<br />
Boruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh L'kodesh must be said.<br />

Kiddush<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are opinions that maintain that Shehechiyonu is not<br />
recited on the second day of Rosh Hashana. It is therefore<br />
preferable to have a new fruit present or wear a new garment at<br />
the time of candle lighting and Kiddush. <strong>The</strong>n, having the new<br />
fruit or garment in mind, one recites the Shehechiyonu. Kiddush<br />
should be performed in the following order:<br />
1. Borei P'ri Hagofen<br />
2. Birkas Kiddush<br />
3. Borei M'orei Ha'eish (at which time we only look at the candles)<br />
4. Birkas Havdala<br />
5. Shehechiyonu<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chabad custom is to eat a K'zayis (I oz.) of the fruit and make<br />
a Brocho Acharona only on the fruit (not on the wine). If one does<br />
not have a new fruit, Shehechiyonu is recited regardless. At the<br />
conclusion of bentching (after saying "Mimarom") we insert<br />
"Horachamon Hu Yanchilaynu L'Yom Shekulo Tov" and<br />
"Horachamon Hu Y'chadesh Oleinu Es Hashana Hazos L'Tova<br />
V'livracha."<br />
Second Day Rosh Hashana<br />
Sunday, Tishrei 2<br />
September 20<br />
Davening is the same as the first day excluding Shabbos<br />
insertions. Two Sifrei Torah are taken out. After Kriyas Hatorah,<br />
we prepare ourselves for the blowing of the Shofar. <strong>The</strong> entire<br />
congregation must listen to the Brochos and T'kiyas Shofar,<br />
keeping in mind to fulfill the mitzvah. "Boruch Hu Uvaruch<br />
Shemo" should not be said. Being that the Brochos of Shofar<br />
apply even to the Shofar blowing during the Musaf Shmoneh<br />
Esrei, no talking is permitted until the end of the Shofar blowing<br />
at the conclusion of Musaf (unless it pertains to the davening or<br />
the Shofar). <strong>The</strong> Shofar is blown three times during the quiet<br />
Shmoneh Esrei and three times during Chazoras Hashatz. If one is<br />
in the middle of Shmoneh Esrei while the Shofar is being<br />
sounded, he must stop and listen. At the end of davening it is<br />
customary to blow an additional 30 Kolos.<br />
Tashlich After Mincha<br />
It is traditional to go to a river or lake in which there are fish (to<br />
show that we should multiply like fish) and say Tashlich. At the<br />
close of Tashlich we shake the corners of our Talis Katan. Those<br />
unable to go to Tashlich on Rosh Hashana may do so throughout<br />
the Aseres Y'mei Teshuvah.<br />
Maariv<br />
All of the Aseres Y'mei Teshuva insertions are added. "Atoh<br />
Chonantonu'" is said as on all Motzei Shabbos and Yom Tov. If<br />
one should forget "Atoh Chonantonu," the Shmoneh Esrei need<br />
not be repeated. However, before any work is done, one must say<br />
"Boruch Hamavdil Bern Kodesh L'Chol''. <strong>The</strong> same applies to those<br />
women who do not daven Maariv. It is forbidden to eat or drink<br />
before making or hearing Havdala on wine or on other<br />
permissible beverages. No B'somim or candles are used during<br />
this Havdala.<br />
Yom Tov ends at 7:53 p.m.<br />

Monday, Tishrei 3<br />
September 21<br />
<strong>The</strong> fast begins at 5:46 a.m.<br />
If one intends to get up early to eat, he must have that intention<br />
before going to sleep. Otherwise, it is forbidden to eat. All able<br />
men and women are obligated to fast. Pregnant and nursing<br />
women are not obligated to fast. <strong>The</strong> Chazan adds "Aneinu" in<br />
Chazoras Hashatz, Slichos and "Avinu Malkeinu" are recited. <strong>The</strong><br />
Torah is read. Only those fasting are permitted "Aliyos."<br />
Mincha<br />
Before Shmoneh Esrei the Torah is read. Three people are called<br />
up, the third being Maftir. In the Shmoneh Esrei all those that are<br />
fasting say "Aneinu" in the Brocho of Sh'ma Koleinu. If one<br />
forgets, the Shmoneh Esrei is not repeated. Tachnun and "Avinu<br />
Malkeinu" are recited.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fast concludes at 7:46 p.m.<br />
Throughout the Aseres Y'mei Teshuvah, "Avinu Malkeinu" is said<br />
during Shacharis and Mincha (excluding Shabbos or when<br />
Tachnun is not said).<br />

A Special Message from<br />
Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar<br />
Dear community member,<br />
We find ourselves on the threshold of Rosh Hashana and Yom<br />
Kippur, a time when even the unaffiliated are moved and<br />
reminded of their Jewish heritage. This sense of<br />
conscientiousness must awaken in us a sense of responsibility<br />
ensuring that we help those infrequently expressed feelings turn<br />
into a fully developed experience of Jewish tradition, belonging<br />
and practice.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there’s “the lost child,” those who unfortunately are utterly<br />
distant from their Jewish roots, completely oblivious to the<br />
special energy this time of the year brings. <strong>The</strong>y require an even<br />
greater measure of our attention, emphasizing that a Jew is<br />
never detached from his Jewishness and it is never too late to<br />
gradually initiate a meaningful and personal relationship with<br />
Almighty G-d.<br />
King David writes in his book of psalms, “It is G-d who guides<br />
the steps of men.” It is by the absolute Divine Providence that<br />
you live in your specific environs and have your precise<br />
neighbors, since every soul has a singular mission to fulfill in a<br />
particular space.<br />
Before the High Holidays, I request of you to please take the<br />
time to visit three of your Jewish neighbors, families with whom<br />
you do not normally have any sort of Jewish interaction. <strong>The</strong><br />
purpose of the meeting is to ask them to consider participating<br />
in the festivities of this special upcoming month of Tishrei,<br />
encourage them to attend High Holiday services, to hear the<br />
Shofar and to generally increase and amplify their relationship<br />
with Hashem, each according to his/her respective level.<br />
I am confident that with your active participation reaching out<br />
to every Jew in the 33154 area, we could make a real difference<br />
and begin this new 5770 year in an “over the top” manner<br />
preparing for the coming of our righteous Moshiach when no<br />
Jew will be left behind.<br />
Doing this you will join the army of the Rebbe’s Shluchim who<br />
are on the front lines to prepare the world for the Ultimate<br />
Redemption.<br />
With Torah greetings and blessings and best wishes for a good<br />
and sweet new year.<br />
With love and esteem,<br />
Sholom D. Lipskar<br />
PS If you visited any of your Jewish neighbors please let<br />
us know so that we can reach out to them for future<br />
events at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shul</strong>.<br />

High Holiday Messages<br />
Spiritual Throw-aways<br />
By Baruch Emanuel Erdstein<br />
I<br />
n the traditional Tashlich ceremony, on the afternoon of Rosh<br />
Hashana (except when it is Shabbat), we go to a body of<br />
living water, and beseech G-d to forgive us for our<br />
transgressions. <strong>The</strong> prayers that we recite there (printed in nearly<br />
every Siddur) are based on a verse from Prophets: "He will again<br />
have compassion upon us; He will suppress our iniquities. And<br />
Thou will cast all their sins in the depths of the sea." (Micah 7:19)<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept of sin is one that manifests itself in the spiritual<br />
reality; the "sea" referred to in the verse above hardly refers to<br />
waters of the physical world. How can we literally cast a spiritual<br />
quality into a material entity?<br />
When "the sea", or any<br />
water, is considered<br />
metaphorically to exemplify<br />
the power to nullify beyond<br />
retrieval, as well as purify,<br />
we can understand the<br />
Tashlich ceremony to be a<br />
sort of meditative aid in our<br />
process of genuine<br />
repentance. We wish to truly<br />
Rosh Hashana Meditation<br />
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson;<br />
words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman<br />
Rosh Hashana is the beginning--not only of this new<br />
year, but of all years previous.<br />
How could that be? Because on that day you are<br />
empowered to reach back into time and adjust the<br />
meaning of all that has past.<br />
True, He is the Author. But He has assigned us as<br />
editors. We adapt the storyline, transform the plot. By<br />
transforming who we are today, we rewrite our own<br />
past and author a whole new world.<br />
11<br />
leave behind all of our past transgressions and personal faults,<br />
emerging cleansed in a state of renewal - and Tashlich is a<br />
dramatic way of emphasizing such aspirations.<br />
In addition, every action which we perform in this physical world<br />
has a spiritual counterpart in the Higher Worlds. By performing<br />
certain actions with the proper concentration, we actually do<br />
affect the higher, spiritual reality; this is one of the basic reasons<br />
in Jewish mystical tradition for the performance of all mitzvot.<br />
This Rosh Hashanah, may we merit to approach the life-giving<br />
source of all divine beneficence, our spiritual "stains" washed<br />
away.<br />
(Written originally for Askmoses.com)<br />
Every action which<br />
we perform in this<br />
physical world has a<br />
spiritual counterpart<br />
in the Higher<br />
Worlds….

Para Recordarlo<br />
El Shofar en Shabat<br />
En la Torá está escrito (Bamidbar 29:1) "Un día de<br />
sonido de Shofar será para ustedes".<br />
Este año el primer día de Rosh Hashaná cae en Shabat por lo<br />
tanto no se puede tocar el Shofar. Recién el segundo día, es<br />
decir, el domingo se toca el Shofar. En la Torá está escrito<br />
(Bamidbar 29:1) "Un día de sonido de Shofar será para ustedes".<br />
En los tiempos del Santo Templo de Ierushalaim se tocaba el<br />
Shofar aun en aquellos años que Rosh Hashaná caía en Shabat.<br />
Entonces, ¿por qué hoy en día no lo hacemos, acaso no es un<br />
precepto de la Torá? Nuestros Sabios nos enseñan en el Tratado<br />
de Rosh Hashaná que, no tocamos el Shofar cuando Rosh<br />
Hashaná cae en Shabat ante la posibilidad de que alguien con la<br />
intención de cumplir con este preciado mandamiento se olvidara<br />
y transportase el Shofar en la vía pública y de esta forma esté<br />
transgrediendo el descanso del Shabat. Vemos cuán grande es la<br />
preocupación de los Sabios aún por un solo individuo que tal vez<br />
pudiera olvidar de llevar el Shofar al Shil o al Knis, y prohibieron a<br />
todos tocar el Shofar en este día. No obstante en el Templo de<br />
Ierushalaim, en donde había encargados especiales nombrados<br />
por el Gran Tribunal Rabínico a tal efecto, no se corría con ese<br />
riesgo.<br />
PROHIBICIÓN DE HACER SONAR EL SHOFAR EN SHABAT<br />
Aunque hacer Sonar el Shofar es una gran mitzvá, ya que con ello<br />
proclamamos la soberanía de di-s y también despertamos Su<br />
misericordia en favor de todos aquellos que enfrentan el juicio<br />
divino, nuestros Sabios ordenaron que si Rosh HaShana coincide<br />
con Shabat, no se debe hacer sonar el shofar.<br />
Esta ordenanza se basa en la rigurosidad de las leyes de Shabat,<br />
ya que es posible que alguien, al no contar con la experiencia<br />
nece¬saria para hacer sonar el shofar; acuda a un experto para<br />
pedirle que le enseñe o haga sonar el shofar en su lugar. De esta<br />
manera puede llegar a transgredirse la prohibición de cargar (el<br />
shofar) cuatro amot (2 mts. aprox.] dentro de un área pública o<br />
de trasladarlo de un dominio a otro. Vemos entonces que la<br />
severidad de las leyes de Shabat es tal que la mera posibilidad de<br />
que una persona las transgreda se considera más importante<br />
que hacer sonar el shofar en beneficio de toda la comunidad. Y lo<br />
mismo se aplica incluso si hay un eruv (disposición especial<br />
mediante la cual se permite cargar) o aunque no haya ningún<br />
área que se ajuste a los criterios de “dominio público”<br />
determinados por la lev de la Torá.<br />
Sin embargo, se debe señalar que el hecho de hacer sonar en<br />
Rosh HaShaná nunca queda totalmente anulado, ya que como<br />
hemos visto anteriormente, los dos días de Rosh Hazaña son<br />
considerados como un único día prolongado. Así, si el primer dia<br />
de Rosh HaShana coincide con Shabat, hacemos sonar el shofar<br />
el segundo día y se considera como si lo hubiera hecho el<br />
primero. El segundo día de Rosh HaShaná nunca puede coincidir<br />
con Shabat.<br />
El decreto de no hacer sonar el Shofar en Shabat se aplicaba sólo<br />
a aquellos lugares donde no existía un Beit Din —Tribunal<br />
Rabínico— permanente. En la época del Beit Hamikdash, cuando<br />
el Sanhedrín (Corte Suprema Rabínica) residía en Jerusalén, el<br />
Shofar se hacía sonar allí incluso cuando Rosh HaShaná coincidía<br />
Latin Link<br />
Reflexión Semanal<br />
con Shabat. Esto era válido también para todas las áreas que se<br />
encontraban dentro de los límites de Jerusalén. Pero en el resto<br />
de las ciudades de Israel no se hacía sonar el Shofar.<br />
Tashlij<br />
Este año 5770, se realizará el segundo día de Rosh HaShaná<br />
(domingo 20/9). Despues del rezo de la tarde, se acostumbra ir a<br />
una fuente de agua natural, río o mar y se recita el texto del<br />
Tashlij.<br />
¿Quien es como Tú, Oh Di-s, que disculpa el pecado y perdona la<br />
trasgresión? ...Tú echarás todos nuestros pecados dentro de las<br />
profundidades del mar. Y todos los pecados de Tu pueblo Israel<br />
Tú echarás en un lugar donde ellos no serán evocados ni<br />
contados, ni se pensará en ellos hasta la eternidad (plegaria de<br />
Tashlij en Rosh HaShaná).<br />
Esta plegaria es dicha a la orilla de un lago o río, y un popular<br />
concepto erróneo se ha desarrollado de que nos despojamos de<br />
nuestros pecados arrojando migas de pan dentro del agua.<br />
No se puede disponer de los pecados tan fácilmente. El único<br />
camino para deshacernos de nuestros pecados es teshuvá<br />
apropiada: sincero arrepentimiento, remordimiento, y una firme<br />
resolución de nunca repetir los malos actos.<br />
El simbolismo del tashlij está en la plegaria. Una vez que hemos<br />
hecho lo que es necesario para lograr el perdón, nuestros<br />
pecados serán arrojados lejos para que nunca sean evocados ni<br />
contados, ni se piense en ellos otra vez.<br />
Asi mismo,el agua simboliza la bondad de Di-s, los peces<br />
representan los ojos del Creador que siempre se encuentran<br />
abiertos velando por Sus creaciones. Esta costumbre tiene como<br />
objetivo, despertar la Misericordia Divina y simboliza el<br />
deshacernos de todos nuestros pecados.<br />

Réflexions sur la Paracha<br />
Vivre avec la Paracha<br />
ROCH HACHANA 5770<br />
Le Talmud distingue 4 raché chanim:<br />
1. Le 1e nissan: Roch Hachana pour les rois et les fêtes. En effet,<br />
toutes les fêtes sont fixées par rapport au mois de la sortie<br />
d'Egypte.<br />
2. Le 1er chévat: Roch Hachana des arbres, selon Chammay. Hillel<br />
son rival propose le 15 chévat, c'est à dire, Tou Bichvat.<br />
3. Le 1er elloul: Roch Hachana lémaasser béhéma. Il s'agit de la<br />
dîme animalière.<br />
4. Le 1er tichri: Roch Hachana la chanim, lachémitot vélayovélot.<br />
Il s'agit du nouvel an des années, des années chabbatiques et de<br />
jubilés.<br />
C'est ce 4e qui nous intéresse. En fait Roch Hachana n'est qu'un<br />
roch hodech spécial, ou néoménie. Cette néoménie a été choisie<br />
pour servir de nouvel an, car ce mois de tichri est le SEPTIEME<br />
mois de l'année par rapport à nissan. C'est donc le CHABBAT de<br />
l'année. Comme il est écrit dans parachat Pinhas, "Le 1er jour du<br />
7e mois..."Bahodech hachévii"<br />
Le Talmud appelle Roch Hachana "Roch hodech léhodché<br />
hachana" = la néoménie des néoménies.<br />
Roch Hachana sert de référence pour le décompte de années<br />
juives. Nous sommes cette année en l'an 5770, "hatacha" (que tu<br />
sauves).<br />
Roch Hachana est le jour anniversaire de la création du monde.<br />
On le crie dans les prières de cette solennité. "Hayom, harat<br />
olam" = aujourd'hui, le monde est né.<br />
C'est aussi l'annniversaire de la naissance du 1er homme, Adam.<br />
Le plus important à retenir, c'est que Roch Hachana est le jour du<br />
Jugement, ou YOM HADIN.<br />
Le Talmud affirme que D.ieu fait passer chaque être humain<br />
devant son Tribunal Celeste. Trois livres sont ouverts devant lui:<br />
celui de ceux qui doivent vivre, celui de ceux qui doivent mourir<br />
et celui des sursitaires...<br />
Nous nous présentons tous pour être jugés. Nos avocats sont nos<br />
mitsvot, nos ancêtres et notre histoire. Nous rappelons à D.ieu<br />
tous les évènements qui nous sont favorables. C’est ainsi que la<br />
corne de bélier ou "chofar" rappelle la Ligature d'Isaac et Mattan<br />
Torah, le jour où Israel a accepté la Torah.<br />
Voici quelques modalités et explications sur le "SEDER" de Roch<br />
Hachana:<br />
1. Après l'office du soir, chacun adresse à l'autre les bons souhaits<br />
pour la nouvelle année juive 5770. Il faut dire:<br />
Chana Tova, tikatève (pour le masculin)<br />
tikatévi (pour le féminin)<br />
tikatévou (pour le pluriel)<br />
L'on souhaite à chacun d'être inscrit sur le livre de la VIE.<br />
Eviter le "Hag Saméyah".<br />
2. A la maison, on procède à la récitation du Kiddouch: Chabbat+<br />
Roch Hachana. Le 2e soir, il faut ajouter les bénédictions<br />
concernant samedi soir. Ne pas oublier le "Chéhéhianou"..., lors<br />
des deux soirs.<br />
3. Lavage des mains, "NETILA".<br />
4. Le "Motsi".<br />
5. Le SEDER, lui-même.<br />
- La Pomme.<br />
Prendre une pomme, la récouper en tranches que l'on trempe<br />
dans du miel. On consomme après avoir dit la bénédiction du<br />
fruit et présenter le souhait que l'année entière soit douce.<br />
Le Zohar hakadoch dit que la pomme représente la "CHEKHINA"<br />
ou Présence de D.ieu. En la consommant avec le miel, on<br />
demande à D.ieu de nous juger favorablement. Par ce geste on<br />
espère que D.ieu se manifeste plutôt par sa "Midat Harahamime",<br />
ou sa Bonté.<br />
-Le Poireau<br />
Bénédiction du fruit de la terre, puis souhaiter que les ennemis<br />
d'Israel soient "écartés" (comme le nom hébraïque du poireau,<br />
Karti.)<br />
-Les Épinards<br />
On passe directement au souhait en relation avec le nom<br />
hébraïque, Sélek.<br />
-Les Dattes<br />
Souhait en relation avec le nom des dattes, Tamar.<br />
-La Courge<br />
Encore un souhait: que D.ieu déchire notre acte d'accusation.<br />
-Le Poisson<br />
Souhaiter que nos mérites soient nombreux comme les poissons.<br />
-Tête de Mouton<br />
En souvenir de la ligature d'Isaac et du bélier sacrifié à sa place.<br />
Souhait d'être toujours à la tête.<br />
CHANA TOVA, TIKATEVOU.<br />
Bonne année, que vous soyez inscrits sur le livre de la VIE.<br />

<strong>Shul</strong> Repair, Restore and Renew<br />
Thanks to the generous outpouring of support from our<br />
community, several projects to repair and restore our shul<br />
commenced over the past few weeks. With over $350,000<br />
pledged, we are on our way to achieve our goal to raise<br />
between $550,000 and $650,000.<br />
Updates:<br />
All six gutters surrounding the dome have been replaced. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
were a major source for leaks that destroyed the Haime Library, over<br />
700 square feet of ceiling in our pre-school and caused severe<br />
damage to the main sanctuary arcways, ceilings and walls. Now<br />
that the water deluge has stopped, a special lift was brought into<br />
the main sanctuary to reach the damaged drywall.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman’s mikvah continues to progress with the removal and<br />
replacement of the mikvah tiles; work began on framing for the new<br />
tub and shower areas. <strong>The</strong> dome waterproofing is on pace; work<br />
should start within the next two weeks once the manufacturer<br />
completes the coating specifications we ordered.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are still several key milestones we are working towards;<br />
namely replacing our 16 year old main air chiller, all rusted a/c<br />
piping, valves and framing; resurfacing of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shul</strong>’s roof; restoration or replacement<br />
of the damaged arcway wood in the woman’s section main sanctuary; redesign of<br />
the mikvah heating systems to reduce corrosion, and repair to the rest rooms. After<br />
an exhaustive review of the condition of the apartment building, permits were filed<br />
for demolition and most tenants have already moved to new locations.<br />
As member participation grows, there are still so many of you that now have a final<br />
opportunity to help. We can only authorize the necessary work as pledges come in.<br />
Show that <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shul</strong> is your home. If I have not spoken to you about your<br />
participation, please speak to me during the week or call me (305) 868-1411 (Ext.<br />
7326), email to speyer@theshul.org or pledge on line at www.theshul.org/RRR.<br />
Hashem should grant each of us a very special year, where we are witness to the<br />
greatest redemption of all, as the wellsprings of Chassidus spreads to all corners of<br />
the world with the ultimate coming of Moshiach. With profound gratitude for your<br />
love and concern for our Rabbi, our Rebbetzin and our shul, wishing each of a you a<br />
K’Sivah V’Chasimah Tovah.<br />

This past Sunday, we had a BBQ to welcome<br />
our new youth leaders and begin the new year.<br />
Despite the wind and rain, many families<br />
showed up for an afternoon of fun. <strong>The</strong><br />
children all gladly participated in different<br />
kinds of exciting and stimulating races. From<br />
wrapping their friends in toilet paper to hula<br />
hoop races, the children all had a blast. Not<br />
only did the children compete in these games,<br />
many of the adults and Rabbis joined in for a<br />
soaked fun-filled day. Some of the men<br />
initiated their own contest, timing who could<br />
keep their head dunked into ice water for<br />
longest. Everyone really enjoyed the event and<br />
the great tasting food.<br />
A special thank you to our Youth Bochurim,<br />
Youth Girls, and volunteers, for making this<br />
event happen. We look forward to experiencing<br />
many more <strong>Shul</strong> Youth events with your family<br />
this year!<br />
