Darkenu Ki Tavo<br />

Besimcha!<br />

“DARKENU”- the <strong>Yeshiva</strong> Way!<br />

<strong>16</strong> <strong>September</strong> <strong>2011</strong> – 17 Elul<br />

NEWSLETTER NO. 30/11<br />

In the middle of “tochechos”, the terrible litany of curses in the parsha, the pasuk says “Because you did<br />

not serve Hashem, your G-d, with gladness and with goodness of heart, out of an abundance of<br />

everything.” In some sense we are being told that the harshest punishments are sometimes borne not out<br />

of terrible aveiros, but out of failure to joyfully fulfill the mitzvos.<br />

One of the essential challenges of chinuch in all ties and particularly in our own turbulent times is to learn<br />

and to teach the joy of mitzvos, the simcha of Torah. If everyone has a mitzvah to be joyous in their<br />

relationship to Hashem, a parent and teacher need to be elated because without that joy – the education is<br />

stunted and thwarted.<br />

We, as people, crave happiness; we thrive on it. Where do we go to find it? The Tzadik finds his simcha<br />

in the knowledge that he serves the King of Kings. He is an important courtier and courier – an<br />

ambassador from the Al-mighty. This fills him with cosmic meaning and simcha.<br />

If we chas veshalom don’t manage to imbue our children with the ‘Geshmack’ of Torah and Mitzvos and<br />

Middos, then we leave them to find consolation wherever it is available. Sadly, this can have lasting<br />

ramifications.


Even in a difficult long passage of Gemara or Tosfos we need to look for ‘our portion’ – one idea or nuance<br />

that speaks to us and makes us feel inspired. If the children see that we really get joy from ‘our portion’ of<br />

Hashem’s Torah – they will continue to pursue their portion.<br />

We only continue to do what we enjoy doing. Therefore the challenge is great for our own personal<br />

progress as for our children. We need to create all educational opportunities in a ‘big’ and exciting and<br />

joyous way.<br />

Wishing you a good Shabbos<br />

<strong>16</strong> <strong>September</strong> <strong>2011</strong> – 17 Elul<br />

DEAN VECHESHBON<br />

Parshat Ki Tavo, to a large degree, concludes Sefer Devarim, a book we refer to as “Mishneh Torah”, as it<br />

essentially was the repetition of the Mitzvoth of the Torah to the next generation who were born and came of age<br />

in the Midbar. Just as the other “Book of Mitzvoth”, Sefer Vayikra, concludes with the “Tochechah” (consequences<br />

of observing the mitzvoth or failure to do so), so too do we find a “Tochechah” in this week’s Parshah. We studied<br />

the observation Rav Hirsch makes that in both cases, the last mitzvoth we are taught are about “ma’asrot” tithes,<br />

given away to those in need, and the beckoning question of why? Rav Hirsch points out how important our<br />

orientation is towards ownership and sensitivity towards others: a “giver” demonstrates this sensitivity as well as<br />

acknowledges that in the broader scheme everything ultimately belongs to Hashem!<br />

Teshuvah, Tefillah and Tzedakkah are our 3 central forms of preparation for the Yamim Norai’m. In terms of<br />

Teshuvah, we have been blowing the shofar daily to awaken ourselves spiritually. For Tefillah, during shiur kelali<br />

this week we looked at the central themes of “Ledavid Hashem Ori” that we say all the way through until Shmini<br />

Atzeret. As for the Tzedakkah of our Parshah, our Grade 9 Chessed Committee have raised R3000 to give to the<br />

Paratrooper unit of Tzahal doing their basic training and the Grade 7’s are running an ice-cream and doughnut<br />

sale this Wednesday to raise money for Arcadia. Shkoyach ladies! (Please support!) In our Halachah classes,<br />

teachers will be devoting time towards revising the halachot of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot until the<br />

end of term.<br />

Shalhevet has been more active than ever. We’re thrilled to have the Grade 6 students join us Friday mornings for<br />

Parshah. Shalhevet has an awesome lineup of special programmes. Grade 10 is off to Pretoria for the YID-<br />

Shalhevet ShabbaTOWN. We thank our Shalhevet head, Morah Tammy and the rest of the Levy family for<br />

bolstering the YID ranks! Grade 9 has a Mishmar this Thursday night at the Chipkins. We thank the Chipkins for<br />

hosting this. Grade 11 has a Shabbat lunch next week at the Feldmans. We thank the Feldmans for this as well.<br />

Shkoyach to Morah Tammy for all these initiatives!<br />

Morah Gerson’s Grade 7 programme has been incredible. This week we were privileged to have Dr. Joanne<br />

Abrams address our students. Her talk was really amazing - thank you!<br />

This Wednesday, our beautiful new Beit Midrash was fitted out with fixed audiovisual equipment. We thank<br />

Darren and Rozanne (nee Turiel) Platsky, both former students of <strong>Yeshiva</strong> <strong>College</strong> who made Aliyah many years<br />

ago, for their generosity that has enabled this!<br />

After Camp Launch this week, Rugby Friday should blend us in with the South African frenzy of retaining the Web-<br />

Ellis trophy – but there’s another magnificent trophy closer to home in numerous ways that we’re focusing on:<br />

The Israel Quiz trophy! The most recent winner of the 2010 competition, Shira Amar, has presented us with the<br />

challenge of retaining the cup in the Girls’ High. Gabriella Urdang made it to the finals last year – so you already<br />

have the experience and the support of every one of us! You are our best chance – “behatzlachah” for next<br />

Sunday!!!<br />

On a sadder note, we had an emotional farewell for one of our students who is making Aliyah. Tali Kur will pave<br />

the way for the rest of her family. We had a siyum with Divrei Torah in Tali’s honour, a farewell breakfast club for<br />

the Grade 9 class and after Tefillah in the presence of the whole school, our Head Prefect Rivki Bank, present Tali<br />

with a card and Artscroll Tehillim from the class and school, in a very emotional farewell… but Tali remember –<br />

“lehitra’ot” dosen’t mean “goodbye” – it means “see you” in Israel soon, please G-d!<br />

Wishing you all a wonderful Shabbat,<br />

HALACHA ARTICLE<br />

The Snitching Supervisor<br />

by Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir, Business Ethics Centre of Jerusalem<br />

Discussing the shortcomings of your workers.<br />

Q<br />

As a supervisor in my workplace, I often have to discuss workers' performance with other managers. If I discuss<br />

their shortcomings, am I guilty of slander?<br />

A.<br />

Jewish tradition places a particular emphasis on careful speech and avoiding harming others or hurting their<br />

feelings through malicious or even careless speech. The prohibition of harmful speech has its source in the<br />

following verse (Leviticus 19:<strong>16</strong>): "Don't go about as a talebearer among your people; don't stand idly be the blood<br />

of your neighbour."<br />

What is the connection between the two halves of the verse – "don't go about as a talebearer" and "don't stand idly<br />

by the blood of your brother"? We find two complementary approaches in the commentators.<br />

Maimonides writes that "This is a grave transgression and causes the deaths of many souls of Israel; therefore it is<br />

adjacent to 'don't stand idly by the blood of your brother'". (1) According to this explanation, the two halves of the<br />

verse reinforce each other; I avoid "the blood of my neighbour" precisely by refraining from spreading gossip,<br />

which leads ultimately to enmity and bloodshed.<br />

The Medieval commentary on the commandments, Sefer HaChinukh, takes a different approach. He writes that a<br />

person shouldn't say damaging things about others – unless the intention is to prevent damage or quiet a dispute.<br />

(2) The two halves contrast and balance – we shouldn't relate idle gossip, but we shouldn't refrain from speaking<br />

when silence would be culpable negligence toward a potential victim.<br />

This approach was given precise boundaries by one of the great rabbinical authorities of the late 19th and early<br />

20th centuries, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, Poland. Rabbi Kagan was a renowned legal authority as well<br />

as revered for his saintly conduct; he decided that he would compose a strictly reasoned legal work defining the<br />

boundaries of this prohibition and providing binding rulings. He concluded that it is permissible to relate a<br />

damaging statement when the following conditions are fulfilled:<br />

1. The main condition is that the statement is intended to achieve some concrete benefit. Making damaging<br />

statements is permissible only when it is needed and intended to protect someone.<br />

2. In addition, disclosure must be necessary to attain the benefit. If the same benefit can be obtained without<br />

disclosure, for example by a talk with the wrongdoer, then there is no justification for disclosing the<br />

information.<br />

3. You are certain of the truth of the information you relay. Stating hearsay is the essence of gossip. The<br />

information must also be related accurately, without judgment or exaggeration.<br />

<strong>16</strong> <strong>September</strong> <strong>2011</strong> – 17 Elul<br />

14


4. You must also be convinced of the negative implications. We have a general obligation to judge others<br />

favorably, we shouldn't be in a rush to spread negative information to others if we ourselves aren't<br />

convinced that it implies any potential harm to the listener.<br />

5. There must be no undeserved damage to the subject. We will discuss this in detail in upcoming lessons,<br />

but for example a person may have misbehaved at work and deserve a report but not dismissal; a person<br />

may have acted improperly towards a neighbour and deserve a fine but not arrest. If reporting will cause<br />

undeserved damage it is impermissible. (3)<br />

These rules apply equally to a supervisor or a co-worker, but their application is quite different. If you notice some<br />

minor deficiency in the performance of a co-worker, it will be generally be the exception that reporting it will lead to<br />

some concrete benefit. Will management really listen to you? Do they have regard for your objectivity and<br />

judgment? Is this really new information that supervisors are not aware of? So for the average observer, reporting<br />

is the exception, reserve the rule.<br />

But if you are a supervisor, it is the essence of your job to evaluate and report on workers' performance. It is most<br />

likely that your reports are needed for some concrete benefit; otherwise you wouldn't be getting a salary to make<br />

them. For the supervisor, reporting is the rule, reserve the exception.<br />

When despite this should even supervisors keep quiet? If management wants you to report on matters that are not<br />

really of relevance to job performance (for example, political opinions) or to report in an inequitable way (for<br />

example, to actively seek "dirt" on a particular employee), it is appropriate for you to seek clarification of the policy<br />

and the justification for it. If you are convinced the policy is unjustified and counterproductive you may have to<br />

occasionally ignore it.<br />

Worker oversight is certainly necessary and appropriate; the Talmud tells us that someone who has inherited a lot<br />

of money and wants to lose it fast should hire workers and not supervise them. (4) However, this doesn't justify<br />

transmitting unfairly damaging information about them. In most cases, the kind of information supervisors have to<br />

pass on is necessary for a constructive purpose, but supervisors should keep alert for exceptional cases where<br />

the information is improperly used, and request a clarification of inappropriate policies.<br />
