3 ALIYAH SUMMARY A WHOLE NEW WAY TO MAKE $$$ WITH YOUR LEASE Make Money with your leased car! That's right! You may have equity during or at the end of your lease! STOP giving your Keys back to the dealer and paying for damages! Let us put money in YOUR POCKET instead! Call Patrick Roche General Overview: The Israelites are commanded to bring the first of their fruit to the Temple, and to deliver all tithes to their proper recipients. Moses explains how the blessings and curses are to be proclaimed on Mts. Grizzim and Ebal when the Jewish nation enters into Israel. He then details the blessings they will receive for following the commandments of the Torah, and the calamities which will result from disregarding them. First Aliyah: This section introduces us to the mitzvah of bikurim, the requirement to bring one's first fruits to the Holy Temple. This mitzvah applies to fruits and produce grown in the land of Israel, and only those for which the land of Israel is praised: wheat, barley, dates, figs, grapes, pomegranates and olives. When in the Temple, the owner of the fruits recites a brief thanksgiving prayer to G-d and presents the produce to the priests. Second Aliyah: During Temple times, Jewish farmers were required to separate from their produce several different tithes. These were distributed to the priests, the Levites, the poor, and one tithe which was eaten by its owners in Jerusalem. The different tithes were not all given each year, rather there was a three-year cycle. In this aliyah, the Torah gives the procedure to be followed on the day before Passover during those years which followed the conclusion of a cycle. The farmer was to declare that he has performed all his tithing duties and then beseeches G-d to bless His people and the Land. Third Aliyah: Moses admonishes the Jews to observe G-d's commandments; reminding them that they have selected Him to be their god, and He, in turn, has chosen them to be His holy and treasured nation. Fourth Aliyah: The Jews are instructed to gather large stones when they cross the Jordan River. These stones were to be plastered, and the entire Torah was to be engraved upon them. Another set of stones was also to be inscribed with the entire Torah, and be set on Mt. Ebal. Fifth Aliyah: The Jewish people are instructed to proclaim blessings and curses on Mts. Grizzim and Ebal. The elders of the Levite Tribe together with the Holy Ark stood between the two mountains, and six tribes were stationed atop each mountain. The Levites and priests faced each mountain alternately, and stated the blessing and curses. At the end of the aliyah, we are told of the bountiful blessings which will shower us if we hearken to G-d's commandments. Sixth Aliyah: This section continues with the aforementioned blessings, and then launches a lengthy description of all the maledictions and suffering which will befall the Jews when they neglect the mitzvot. Seventh Aliyah: Moses reminds the Jews of all the miracles which have been their lot from when G-d took them out of Egypt until that very day. He concludes by saying that it is therefore incumbent upon them to follow G-d's covenant. AND FINALLY... A man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me." "Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy." "Okay," said the man. "Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife."

4 By Matthew Horwood Ottawa Jewish Bulletin Aug Ottawa s downtown core will soon have a multi -function Chabad centre, thanks to the efforts of Shopify COO Harley Finkelstein, his wife Lindsay, and Rabbi Chaim Boyarsky, co-director of the Chabad Student Network. The Finkelstein Chabad Jewish Centre, which will be located at 254 Friel Street, will include a synagogue, library, commercial kitchen, student lounge, and guest suites. The building at the address is being renovated to suit the needs of the Chabad community. Immediate plans are to have the building ready to host services this High Holiday season. Finkelstein donated $500,000 for the centre, and he and Rabbi Boyarsky raised nearly $1 million in donations, bringing the total funding for the Finkelstein Chabad Jewish Centre to almost $1.5 million. Finkelstein first met Rabbi Boyarsky while attending law school at the University of Ottawa in 2005 and said he was very touched and inspired by what Rabbi Boyarsky was doing to help Jewish students. I went to his house a couple times, and every time it was packed with students, Finkelstein said. I was amazed by this man who had no connection to Ottawa or the law school, and yet he moved here to support the Ottawa Jewish community. At that time I had little money, but I told Rabbi Chaim, Look, if I can ever afford to, I want to help you build a real synagogue, Finkelstein said. In 2017, Finkelstein called Rabbi Boyarsky to 4 MOSAIC EXPRESS say he was in a position to help build a centre in downtown Ottawa where Jewish students from the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and Algonquin College could congregate. I felt strongly that this was the right time to do it, he said. Speaking with the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin, Finkelstein pointed out that there hasn t been a major synagogue in downtown Ottawa since 2015, which is insane, because we are a G7 capital. At one time, almost all of Ottawa s Jewish congregations were located downtown. The last of these was Congregation Beth Shalom on Chapel Street, which was relocated from the downtown core in Beth Shalom rented space for a year at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre before amalgamating with Agudath Israel Congregation to form Kehillat Beth Israel. Finkelstein said that when he was reaching out to people for donations, he was amazed to hear how many of them had been touched by Rabbi Boyarsky. The impact that Rabbi Chaim has had on Ottawa s Jewish community is far beyond what people realize, he said. This man is constantly working behind the scenes to make sure that the Jewish community feels supported. According to Rabbi Boyarsky, there are 2,000 Jews, including 300 young professionals, living downtown without a nearby synagogue to attend. Rabbi Boyarsky said the new centre will be open to students, young professionals and to everyone in the Jewish community. Rabbi Boyarsky said he never would have dreamt of this idea if not for Finkelstein. We thought we were going to be renting classrooms forever, he said. Finkelstein said the building is currently undergoing renovations so that High Holiday services can be held there, but that is just the beginning. There will be much larger and more ambitious renovations happening over the next 12 to 18 months to ensure it looks great and can accommodate our entire Chabad community for the long term, Finkelstein said. He added that for Rabbi Boyarsky and himself, the project is very meaningful. The idea that 10 years ago we had this crazy idea to build a synagogue in downtown Ottawa, and we were able to get it to fruition and get it done, is probably the most impactful thing I ve ever done in my life. This is us standing up to say the Ottawa Jewish community is proud of what we have here, and we want to make sure it survives and thrives, Finkelstein said. Rabbi Boyarsky says the Finkelstein Chabad Student Centre will be more than just a building. It isn t about the bricks and the mortar; it s about community, he said. It s about the unity, bonds and the friendships it creates. Rabbi Boyarsky added that he is so thankful to Ottawa s Jewish community for coming together to make this happen.

6 KIDS CORNER PARSHA INSIGHTS From the book Daily Wisdom By Moshe Wisnefsky KI TAVO Questions: 1. In this parsha, which four consecutive verses are read on a holiday - but not in the synagogue? 2. What item is mentioned in this parsha four times - but nowhere else in the Torah? 3. Where is plaster instructed to be used? Last Week s Answers: 1- The first law in this parsha involves a "yefas to'ar" (beautiful woman) who is captured in war. Who is the only woman in the Torah specifically described as "yefas to'ar"? In parshas Vayetzei, Rachel is described as "yefas to'ar" - "a beautiful woman" (Genesis 29:17). 2- Which part of the body is mentioned in this parsha, and nowhere else in the Torah? The non-jewish woman captured in war must let her fingernails grow to make her look displeasing to her captor (Deut. 21:12). Fingernails are not mentioned elsewhere in the Torah. 3- In this parsha, what part of a house is mentioned? This parsha mentions a roof - regarding the obligation to build a fence around the roof of one's house (Deut. 22:8). THE KEY TO SUCCESS Moses then reassured the Jewish people that despite the threats he had just pronounced, they should be confident in their ability to remain true to G d s covenant and enjoy His protection. ל מ ע ן תּ שׂ כּ ילוּ א ת כּ ל א שׁ ר תּ ע שׂוּן: (דברים כט:ח) ]Moses told the Jewish people, You must remain faithful to your covenant with G d] in order that you succeed in all you do. Deuteronomy 29:8 The Hebrew word for succeed (taskilu) also means comprehend. Thus, this verse implies that by fulfilling G d s commandments, we will comprehend all that we should do. There are many aspects of life in which we struggle to determine how to act in the most spiritually positive manner. By living in accordance with the Torah s instructions, we become sensitive to G d s will. This, in turn, aids us in comprehending how to act in accordance with G d s will in the context of those areas of life not directly governed by specific commandments. DOSE OF INSPIRATION 6 MOSAIC EXPRESS EDITING THE PAST by Tzvi Freeman Rosh Hashanah is the beginning not only of this new year, but of all years previous. How could that be?

7 An inspiring story for your Shabbat table HERE S my STORY Generously sponsored by the ב ה ערב שבת פרשת כי תבוא, כ אלול, תשע ח Erev Shabbat Parshat Ki Tavo, August 31, 2018 Issue 294 ONE DEED IS WORTH A THOUSAND SERMONS RABBI MORDECHAI GUTNICK Iam the son of Rabbi Chaim Gutnick, who fled Europe during World War Two and made his way to Australia, where I was born. In his work as a community rabbi, my father was very much guided by the Rebbe, and I would like to relate here a few anecdotes which my father had shared with me. In 1965, my father came to visit the Rebbe and complained to him that although he was known as a great orator who could make people laugh and cry at the same time, and who was invited to speak in many places, he felt that he wasn t making a real difference. I must have given thousands of speeches in my career, my father told the Rebbe, but how many of them have really hit home? How many people have been moved by my speeches to actually change their lives? The Rebbe responded, If you speak sincerely and you speak with passion, your message will enter the hearts of others, whether you know it or not. But if you really want to see the effect of your words, then you must speak about practical things, not just concepts. Instead of just talking about Shabbat or kashrut in general terms, you should urge the audience to try to fulfill these mitzvot as much as they can. Give them something practical to do even if it s just one little thing. And then you will see results. My father was impressed by the Rebbe s advice and put it into practice immediately. When he spoke about Shabbat now he asked the non-observant in his audience to begin by not lighting a fire on Shabbat, by giving up one little thing smoking. He said, I want you to do me this personal favor. Your doctors will say it s good for you, and as your rabbi, I ll also say that it s good for you. Not long after he gave this speech, my father saw in the synagogue a man he knew, a Holocaust survivor, who was not Torah observant. After the man appeared for the third consecutive Shabbat, my father approached him and asked him what brought him there. The man answered, I heard you speak about not smoking on Shabbat, and when I went to work the next Saturday, I decided to do you that personal favor and not smoke on Shabbat. But then I thought to myself, if I m already giving up cigarettes because it s Shabbat, what am I doing here sitting at my office? So I got up, and I came here. And now I think I ll continue attending synagogue and maybe I ll even make Kiddush. That was the wonder of the Rebbe s advice one little point, one little request can open up worlds. And, after my father shared this advice with me, I have also followed it. There is not a speech that I ll make where I won t give the audience at the end some small practical thing to take away with them. Another remarkable story concerns a sixteen-year-old girl from Balaclava who wanted to convert to Judaism. After my father saw how sincere she was, he brought her before the local rabbinical court, but the judges turned her down; they reasoned that she was too young to make such a momentous decision, though they invited her to return when she was of age. But the girl became so anguished that she was unable to become Jewish that she fell ill. She s wasn t eating, she wasn t sleeping, and her parents were very concerned about her. At that stage, my father suggested she write to the Rebbe for advice. She did this she wrote a long letter explaining why she felt she had to be Jewish, pleading her case for conversion. But she received no response. Instead, the Rebbe wrote a postscript in an unrelated letter to my father, asking, What s happening with the Jewish girl from Balaklava who wrote me that long letter? My father was puzzled why was the Rebbe referring to her as the Jewish girl when she was a prospective convert? Understanding this was a message, my father, together with another rabbi, immediately set out to see continued on reverse An oral history project dedicated to documenting the life of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory. The story is one of thousands recorded in over 1,500 videotaped interviews conducted to date.

8 continued from reverse her parents. After much discussion, the mother finally admitted that she herself was born Jewish but had decided to deny her identity because of the Holocaust. So, having a Jewish mother, the girl was in fact Jewish and didn t need to convert. She ended up becoming part of the community, getting married and raising a fine family. This story has become famous, but there is an addendum which few know. Some time after these events, my father had an audience with the Rebbe and felt compelled to ask how the Rebbe knew that this girl was Jewish. Among chasidim it s accepted that the Rebbe knows these things, he said, and I do not mean to be chutzpadik, but I would just like to ask for a mundane, rational explanation. The Rebbe smiled and said, Only a Jewish girl could have written such a letter. Afterwards, my father impressed upon me and the rest of his children that the Rebbe was looking after us all not just in a removed way, from above, so to speak, but in a very rational way. We can be sure of this, my father said, from the example of the Rebbe s concern for this Balaclava girl who had lost her connection to the Jewish people. The Rebbe brought her back into the fold because the Rebbe looks after every Jewish soul. And this is why we must do the Rebbe s work. My father was himself very dedicated to the Rebbe s work. On one occasion, the Rebbe instructed him to go to Tasmania, a remote island 150 miles south of Australia s mainland, and to check on the Jewish community in Hobart. Of course, my father went. At the time, the city had one defunct synagogue and, as he wandered the streets, my father was very puzzled by the Rebbe s directive, not sure what he was doing there. As was his custom, my father was wearing his rabbinic garb a black suit, a Homburg hat so he stood out, and a woman approached him, asking, Are you a rabbi? When he said he was, she started crying, and her story came pouring out. She said that she and her husband were Jewish, but not knowledgeable about Judaism and not observant. Recently, they had been approached by a Christian missionary group that made a strong impression upon them. The couple was left very confused. In the midst of this, the woman had prayed to G-d for clarity and asked for some sort of sign. She had asked this of G-d just the day before, and now, suddenly, she sees a rabbi walking around here in Tasmania! This was a sign if there was ever one. My father ended up talking to her and her husband for a long time and managed to convince them to embrace their Jewish roots. After they did, for some time he used to send them kosher meat and other kosher food until they moved to Melbourne, where they became fully Torah observant they, their children and their grandchildren. As far as my father was concerned, this was the only reason that the Rebbe suddenly sent him to Tasmania to save these lost Jewish souls. Rabbi Mordechai Gutnick is based in Melbourne, Australia, where he presently serves as the Rabbi Emeritus of Elwood Talmud Torah Hebrew Congregation, as the senior judge of the Melbourne Jewish court, and as the rabbinic administrator of Kosher Australia. He was interviewed in May, לע נ ר ישראל יעקב וזוגתו מרת קריינא ע ה לאקשין ע י בניהם ר נחמן ור אברהם ומשפחתם שיחיו This week in. > , the Rebbe sent letters to the Jewish council of Bogota, Colombia, and respectively to Congregation Adath Israel of Havana, Cuba, who had each requested that a Chabad rabbi join their communities. Writing that he hadn t yet found the right person for the job, the Rebbe encouraged the local community members to take the initiative and arrange Torah classes for both adults and children. The Rebbe quoted the passage of the Talmud which states, G d does not make unreasonable demands of His creatures. Since proper education is a necessity, they could surely achieve this goal Elul 1.

9 LA SIDRA DE LA SEMAINE CHABBAT PARCHAT KI TAVO SAMEDI 1 SPETEMBRE ELLUOL 5778 VIVRE AVEC LA PARACHA KI TAVO Moché instruit les Enfants d Israël d apporter au Saint Temple, une fois qu ils se seront installés en Israël, les Bikourim, prémices des fruits, pour déclarer ainsi leur gratitude à l égard de D.ieu. On lit également les lois de la dîme donnée aux Lévites et aux pauvres. Moché rappelle au peuple qu il est «le Peuple Élu» de D.ieu et que lui a choisi D.ieu. Après avoir énoncé les bénédictions que D.ieu enverra au peuple quand ils suivront les lois de la Torah, la dernière partie de la Paracha consiste en une To ha ha («Réprimande»), le récit de ce qui arriverait si les Juifs en venaient à abandonner les Commandements. En conclusion, Moché déclare que maintenant seulement, après quarante ans depuis leur naissance en tant que peuple, les Juifs ont atteint «un cœur pour savoir, des yeux pour voir et des oreilles pour entendre». Haï Eloul, le 18 Elloul, tombe cette année la semaine de la Paracha Ki Tavo. En ce jour, naquirent «deux grands luminaires» : le Baal Chem Tov, en 5458 (1698) et Rabbi Chnéor Zalman, en 5505 (1734). Au vu du dicton de la Michna des Pirké Avot qui affirme que «l action pratique est le principal», nous devons tenter d étudier quelque chose concernant ces deux luminaires qui nous affectera dans notre vie quotidienne. Dans le domaine de l action, se trouvent différents niveaux. Alors qu un Juif simple est requis de directement interagir avec le monde matériel, les dirigeants et les érudits s occupent principalement de l étude de la Torah. Leurs actions consistent à «appliquer la théorie à la pratique de la loi». Ils entrent dans la catégorie d «Issa har», la tribu qui étudiait la Torah, alors que le reste des Juifs fait partie de «Zevouloune», la tribu dont l occupation était le commerce et qui subvenait aux besoins matériels d Issa har. Pour eux, il s agit d élever le monde matériel et de le transformer en un sanctuaire dans lequel D.ieu peut résider. Bien qu en pratique, l action d Issa har soit différente de celle de Zevouloune, ils partagent un point commun : l action est l essentiel. Il est donc clair que, quelle que soit la catégorie à laquelle nous appartenons, il nous faut trouver un moyen d appliquer les leçons de Haï Elloul dans l action concrète. Ce n est qu alors que nous accomplissons notre mission, dans l esprit de ce jour. Mais alors une question se pose : comment faire dans un monde si matérialiste? L on nous dit que Haï Elloul célèbre la naissance de deux grands luminaires. Cette expression est tirée du Houmach dans sa description du soleil et de la lune (avant que ne soit affaiblie la lumière de la lune). Cela nous rappelle le jour où naquit Moché Rabénou pour lequel la Torah dit que la «maison était remplie de lumière» (Rachi, Chemot 2 :2). L anniversaire de Rabbi Chnéor Zalman est également le moment où, selon les paroles mêmes du Baal Chem Tov, une «âme nouvelle» descendit pour illuminer le monde. En s appuyant sur ce qui précède, il semble difficile de comprendre comment un événement si sublime que la naissance de ces deux grands luminaires puisse affecter les actes d un Juif simple, ordinaire! Cependant, la vérité est que la naissance de deux êtres qui furent vitaux dans leur génération respective, ainsi que dans les suivantes, doit produire un effet dans le domaine essentiel de nos entreprises, celui de l action. Plus encore, pour obtenir cet effet, nul n est besoin de s approfondir sur les aspects ésotériques de Haï Elloul. Cela contreviendrait aux enseignements du Baal Chem Tov et à ceux de ses successeurs. Ils désiraient tous que chaque aspect de la Torah serve de leçon pour «les coupeurs de bois et les puiseurs d eau» tout autant que pour «les têtes des tribus». Puisque chacun est connu par son nom, une leçon essentielle peut être saisie par tous à partir de leur nom. Commençons par le Baal Chem Tov dont le nom était Israël. Le sens de son nom est établi dans le Houmach (Beréchit 32 : 29) : «Et il dit, ton nom ne sera plus appelé Yaakov mais Israël, car tu as combattu avec Elokim et avec les hommes et tu l as emporté». Ce verset se prête à de nombreuses interprétations. Le sens simple en est : tu as combattu avec les anges (souvent appelés «Elokim») et avec Essav et Lavan («les hommes») et tu l as emporté. Le mot «combattu», «Sarita», indique que le combattant possède une certaine supériorité même avant que la bataille ne soit gagnée. Il faut souligner ici deux points : tout d abord, il part au combat avec un sentiment de supériorité. Cela est un accomplissement remarquable puisqu il n est même pas sûr de sa victoire. De plus, il gagne effectivement contre l ennemi. Quand l on part en guerre, confiant dans une victoire possible, il est évident que l on se bat avec un état d esprit et un enthousiasme différents. Cette idée est exprimée dans le verset (SUITE A LA PAGE 11) MOSAIC EXPRESS 9

10 LE RECIT DE LA SEMAINE Il nous arrive parfois des contretemps, grands ou petits, et nous oublions alors qu il existe dans le monde un Surveillant qui enchaîne les circonstances. Il n y a pas d accident, il n y a pas d erreur, tout est prévu avec précision depuis les Six Jours de la Création. Et ce que D.ieu a prévu sera accompli par Ses émissaires fidèles, que ce soit des êtres humains, des animaux, des plantes, des minéraux ou même des animaux devenus objets. Parfois on mérite de voir la Main de D.ieu tout de suite comme cela nous est arrivé. Nous sommes les émissaires du Rabbi dans l ouest de la Sibérie, à Tioumen exactement. La cacherout y est encore un peu compliquée et nous recevons la viande cachère et des poulets de nos «voisins» les plus proches : de Rav Zelig Ashkenazi de Iekaterinbourg (cinq heures de route) ou de Rav Meir Kirsh de Tcheliabinsk (six heures de route). Nous avions donc commandé des poulets cachères depuis Tcheliabinsk, pour nous et encore une autre famille qui commençait à manger cachère. Pas grand-chose : juste quelques dizaines de poulets qu un des employés de la communauté chargea dans la soute d un autocar qui roule durant douze heures, de Tcheliabinsk à Tobolsk en passant par notre ville Tioumen. Il nous informa de l heure exacte du passage du car. Pas besoin de congeler les poulets, pas besoin de contrôler la chaîne du froid, pas besoin de glacière vu le froid polaire (jusqu à moins quarante ) qui règne dans cette région Quand nous sommes arrivés à la gare routière, il s avéra qu il y avait un petit problème : le car était déjà reparti, depuis une heure et demie avec nos poulets! Bien entendu, nous avons fulminé : pourquoi n avons-nous pas vérifié 10 MOSAIC EXPRESS nous-mêmes l heure exacte Mais surtout, comment ramener nos poulets à la maison? La ville de Tobolsk vers laquelle se dirigeaient maintenant nos poulets n est pas très grande, habitants tout au plus. Dans le temps, elle était considérée comme la capitale de la Sibérie, avec une communauté juive importante : la plupart des fidèles étaient des «exilés», envoyés au loin par le Tsar d abord puis par les autorités communistes ensuite pour leur activisme religieux. Ils n avaient même pas le droit de communiquer avec leurs familles restées à Moscou et aucune inscription ne figure sur leurs pierres tombales. Au fil des ans, les synagogues avaient été détruites et il ne restait plus que quelques Juifs isolés. Nous avons essayé de localiser quelqu un qui pourrait récupérer nos pauvres poulets, par l intermédiaire de l Agence Juive, mais nul ne répondait comme pour nous narguer! Il ne restait plus qu une demi-heure avant que les poulets n arrivent et, enfin, quelqu un décrocha le téléphone : c était Volodia. Je me suis présenté et lui ai raconté les dernières péripéties. Sans attendre, bien qu il fût en plein milieu d une réception et qu il ne nous connaisse pas, ce Juif laissa tout tomber et se précipita à la gare routière pour y rencontrer juste à temps nos braves petits poulets. Du coup, nous avons bavardé au téléphone : il me raconta qu il était l un des derniers Juifs de la ville. Nous avons convenu que je passerai reprendre les précieux volatiles le lendemain, après trois heures de route. De fait, cela faisait déjà un certain temps que j aurais voulu me rendre dans cette ville pour y constater l état d une éventuelle communauté juive : l occasion était trouvée! Nous sommes arrivés à Tobolsk à huit heures le vendredi matin. Volodia vint à notre rencontre. C est un bon Juif, la cinquantaine, avec très peu de connaissances du judaïsme. Autour d un verre de thé noir, il nous a raconté sa vie, sa ville, les Juifs qui y habitent encore, sa regrettée mère qui s appelait Hanna bat Mendel : ellemême était déjà née dans cette ville quand son père y avait été exilé à l époque du Tsar. Nous avons cloué une Mezouza à la porte de sa maison et, pour la première fois de sa vie, il a mis les Téfilines alors qu il serrait contre lui le seul souvenir d un passé glorieux : un livre de Vayikra (Lévitique) qui avait été publié à Vilna en 1872 et que lui avait légué sa mère, souvenir de son père dont la tombe elle aussi ne portait aucune inscription. Il répéta après moi les mots de la prière sans trop les comprendre : «Chema Israël, Écoute Israël, l Éternel est notre D.ieu, l Éternel est Un». On sentait que son âme assoiffée revivait dans cette rencontre fortuite et il ne cacha pas ses larmes d émotion quand nous avons dû le quitter et reprendre la route, non sans avoir échangé adresses et numéros de téléphone. Oui, ces poulets oubliés n avaient pas vraiment raté leur destination Rien n est jamais perdu Volodia nous a rendu visite à Pourim puis à Pessa h, trois heures de route dans la neige et le froid sibériens Il s avère que ces poulets congelés continuent de vivre et d agir pour le bien Nos Sages enseignent que la leçon de Pessa h Cheni (le second Pessa h) est que rien n est jamais perdu, que chaque Juif reviendra un jour ou l autre dans le chemin de la Torah. Sous l influence et grâce à la compétence du Mohel, Rav Morde haï Tsvi Salomon, Volodia a demandé à se faire circoncire. La formidable Providence Divine qui lui avait envoyé des poulets perdus l avait convaincu à son âge de franchir ce pas important. Le grand-père de Volodia s appelait Mendel. Nous lui avons expliqué qu un autre grand-père Mendel, le Rabbi de Loubavitch avait veillé sur (SUITE A LA PAGE 11)

Et donc Volodia a choisi dorénavant le prénom Mendel, d après son grand-père juif, un grand-père dont il se souvenait bien et il y ajouta le prénom complet du Rabbi : il s appelle donc maintenant Mena hem Mendel fils de Hanna Rav Yerachmiel Gorelik Chatz Lelo Minyane Traduit par Feiga Lubecki LE TALMUD ESSENTIEL Maîtriser la Guemara est une tâche difficile. Même après de nombreuses années d études le texte nous semble opaque. Le Talmud Essentiel est une série d étude en chavruta suivi d un cours approfondi de Talmud et Halacha. Le but du programme est d enrichir les connaissances de l etudiant débutant et/ ou advancé. En revanche, cela lui permettra d acquérir les outils nécessaires pour naviguer l océan du Talmud. Lundi soir 19H30 au Beth Midrach de MTC présenté par Rav Maimon Pinto VIVRE LA TORAH Joignez nous pour un cours interactif et pratique pour messieurs et dames 20H00 (Continued from page 9) suivant : «Quand tu pars en guerre sur tes ennemis et que l Eternel ton D.ieu les livreras entre tes mains» (Devarim 21 :10). La Torah utilise le mot «sur», «al», et non «avec» ou «contre» tes ennemis. Quand un juif part en bataille, et qu il est confiant qu il est sur son ennemi, il est alors assuré que «D.ieu les livrera entre tes mains». Tous ces enseignements découlent du nom Israël. Le nom est quelque chose qui n est donné qu à une âme, dans ce monde. Le nom du Baal Chem Tov doit donc avoir un effet sur chaque Juif dans le plus matériel des mondes. Le Baal Chem Tov était notre dirigeant et notre berger, donc lié à chaque Juif. Mais il n est pas seulement un berger qui garde maintenant son troupeau d En Haut. Tout comme Moché, explique Rabbi Chnéor Zalman dans le Tanya, il se trouve en chacun de nous. Il s agit de cet élément d «Israël», dans notre for intérieur, qui nous permet de mener le combats et d en sortir victorieux. Cette leçon s applique à chacun, depuis «les têtes des tribus» jusqu à ceux, insiste le Rabbi précédent, pour lesquels le nom Israël est de moindre importance. Nous tous devons, et particulièrement maintenant, à l époque de Haï Elloul, partir en bataille contre le mauvais penchant. Nous ne devons pas nous décourager mais nous sentir supérieurs à nos ennemis car nous serons «sur» eux. Nous serons victorieux et l ennemi lui-même louera D.ieu, tout comme l ange qui combattit Yaakov et lui attribua luimême le nom d Israël. Attardons-nous maintenant sur Rabbi Chnéor Zalman. Il possédait donc deux noms : Chnéor et Zalman. Le premier est en langue sainte alors que le second est en yiddich. Les deux forment un nom si bien qu une leçon peut être tirée des deux. Parlons de «Chnéor». Ce nom se compose de Chné qui signifie «deux» et Or, «lumière». Chnéor veut dire «deux lumières». La lumière ne crée rien mais elle révèle ce qui existe. Dans une pièce obscure, remplie de meubles, l on risque de trébucher. Mais avec de la lumière, tout s illumine et il n y a plus aucun risque. Rien n a changé mais l ameublement est aisément visible. Un tout jeune enfant comprend très tôt qu il faut faire très attention dans une pièce obscure. Cette analogie convient à Rabbi Chnéor Zalman. Il illumina ce qui était déjà là : les enseignements du Baal Chem Tov. Il est possible de se comporter en accord avec tous les enseignements du Baal Chem Tov. Mais cette conduite peut ne pas être «pleine de lumière», sans enthousiasme. Cela s appelle le Kabalat Ol, «la soumission au joug divin» mais cela manque du sentiment d accomplissement. Il est sûr que c est un service très louable. Mais Chné Or, «deux lumières» nous enseigne que notre service de D.ieu doit être lumineux. Pour ce faire, il nous faut y investir toutes nos facultés et pas seulement le Kabalat Ol. Il nous faut vivre l accomplissement des Mitsvot à la fois intellectuellement et émotionnellement, avec tout notre être. La contribution de Rabbi Chnéor Zalman se manifeste dans nos relations avec les autres Juifs. Le Baal Chem Tov mit l accent sur la Mitsva de ressentir un profond amour pour son prochain juif. Il enseigna que l on doit même aimer celui qui vit à l autre bout du monde. Il donna comme exemple de rendre service dès que l occasion s en présente. Rabbi Chnéor Zalman ajouta l idée suivante : lorsque l on veut donner de la Tsédaka, l on n utilise que nos doigts. Pour y investir tout notre être, il faut le faire avec «une attitude joyeuse» et en réconfortant la personne que l on aide. Ainsi, toutes nos facultés sont-elles illuminées par la Mitsva qui «brille de tous ses éclats». Et l on ressent alors que l on a accompli cette Mitsva pour nous-mêmes et pour le monde en général. Cette démarche peut s appliquer à toutes les Mitsvot. Rabbi Chnéor Zalman offrait lui-même le meilleur exemple. Il avait l habitude de se rendre dans les villes avoisinantes dans le seul but de faire surgir l amour fraternel entre les Juifs. La leçon que nous offrent ces deux grand luminaires est donc simple : un juif doit toujours s imprégner de l élément d «Israël», nullement impressionné par les obstacles et il doit s illuminer lui-même ainsi que tous ceux qui l entourent de la lumière et de la chaleur de la Torah.

12 EDITORIAL VIVANTS! La grandeur et l urgence du mois d Elloul sont connues. On le sait : il n est pas simplement le dernier mois du calendrier juif, comme le point final d un voyage au fil du temps. Il est ce temps particulier qui nous introduit à l année nouvelle qui approche. Il est ce moment où chacun de nos actes pèse d une manière plus essentielle qu à l accoutumée. C est dire que le service de D.ieu doit y être différent. Certes, pour la pensée juive, et surtout pour la vie juive, un tel effort spirituel est constant par nature. Certes, il ne peut être cantonné à une période donnée, même celle que nous vivons. Cependant, aujourd hui il conditionne de façon si évidente toute l année qui va suivre qu il faut y attacher une attention et un investissement personnel renouvelés. Dans un tel contexte, comment définir ce qui doit être accompli? Cela tient sans doute en une idée : il faut être vivant. Et l enjeu est fort. De fait, il est possible de croire avoir tout fait, tout accompli alors que ses actes ont un manque majeur. Il est possible de penser que l attention portée à sa pratique des commandements répond à toutes les attentes alors même qu elle n est pas encore animée de la vitalité qui donne véritablement existence. Si le mot d ordre du mois d Elloul est le retour à D.ieu, celui-ci doit être accompagné d un sentiment de vie profonde, qui transforme et anime tout ce qu il touche. Reste à savoir où trouver une telle force? Cette semaine tombe le 18 Elloul, en hébreu Haï Elloul ou «Elloul vivant». Et cette dénomination n est ni le fait du hasard ni un jeu de mots habile. Le 18 Elloul, anniversaire de la naissance du Baal Chem Tov puis de Rabbi Chnéor Zalman de Lyadi, l auteur du Tanya, incarne cette vie nécessaire. Il l introduit dans le service de D.ieu de la période. Enoncé ainsi, on comprend qu il s agit d une sorte de donnée de fait. Pourtant, là encore, l individu est au centre de tout. Même si cette vie est offerte par ce jour, il faut que chacun s en saisisse. L étude enthousiaste, la pratique chaleureuse des commandements, la réflexion qui conduit à l action sont autant de chantiers qu il appartient à chacun de mener. Un vent nouveau s est mis à souffler sur le monde, celui d Elloul. Ce vent-là nous entraîne bien plus loin et plus haut que nous l imaginons. Le 18 Elloul apporte sa vie dans notre cœur. Entreprenons le voyage qui s ouvre : par notre action, ce sera une année merveilleuse. HORAIRE DE LA SEMAINE CHABBAT: Talmud et Hala ha....18h 30 Seu'da Chelichit h 30 MERCREDI La Torah Pratique Joignez nous pour un cours interactif et pratique pour messieurs et dames...20h00 Avez-vous déjà rêvé d'étudier la Torah? Le Talmoude? Le Tanya? ou même le Rambam? Mais pour une raison ou une autre, ne trouvez jamais le temps ou les bonnes classes? Eh bien chez Kollel Menachem, votre rêve a été matérialisé. Rav Pinto est disponible pour étudier avec vous tête à tête tous les jeudis soirs de 19h30 à 21h00. Pour réserver une session veuillez envoyer un message à Ravpinto@themtc.com ETINCELLES DE MACHIAH approche? LA TECHOUVA PAR CHOIX Maïmonide enseigne : «La Torah a promis que finalement le peuple juif fera Techouva à la fin de son exil et il sera immédiatement libéré.» (Michné Torah, Hile hot Techouva 7:5). A la lecture de cet enseignement, il apparaît que le peuple juif fera Techouva de sa propre initiative, sans que D.ieu l y ait contraint. Ainsi ce sera vraiment sa Techouva qui amènera la Délivrance. Pourquoi Maïmonide choisit-il cette Dans les deux chapitres qui précèdent dans le Michné Torah, Maïmonide a abondamment souligné l idée du libre arbitre. Puis il commence celui où se trouve la citation ci-dessus par les mots : «Puisque tout homme en a reçu la permission il doit entreprendre de faire Techouva» Il veut dire ainsi que l homme doit s efforcer à une Techouva sincère, qui procède de sa libre volonté et non d une quelconque forme de coercition. Après avoir posé ce principe, Maïmonide poursuit : «finalement le peuple juif fera Techouva» : son retour à D.ieu sera décidément le résultat d un libre choix.
