Shortly before his passing, Jacob blesses Joseph's children as well as his own. A massive funeral procession escorts Jacob's body to Canaan. The reading, and the Book of Genesis, concludes with Joseph's death. First Aliyah: Jacob lived his last seventeen years in Egypt. When Jacob sensed that his days were numbered he summoned Joseph and asked him to promise that he would bury him in Israel. Joseph acceded to the request. When Jacob then fell ill, Joseph visited him, accompanied by his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. Jacob conferred upon Ephraim and Manasseh the status of tribal progenitors, a status hitherto enjoyed only by Jacob's sons. Joseph asked his father to bless Ephraim and Manasseh. Second Aliyah: Joseph presents his two sons, placing Manasseh, the firstborn, to Jacob's right, and Ephraim to Jacob's left. Jacob, who was nearly blind at this point, crossed his hands, placing his right more prestigious hand on Ephraim's head. He blessed them: "May the angel who redeemed me from all harm bless the youths, and may they be called by my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, and may they multiply abundantly like fish, in the midst of the land." Third Aliyah: Joseph was disturbed that Jacob placed his right hand on Ephraim, and (Continued on page 4) AND FINALLY... What do you get if you cross a dyslexic, an atheist and an insomniac?

4 (Continued from page 3) he attempted to adjust his father's hands. "I know, my son, I know," Jacob responded, explaining that the "younger brother will be greater, and his children['s fame] will fill the nations." Jacob blessed the two boys further, saying that all of Israel will bless each other by saying: "May G d make you like Ephraim and Manasseh." Fourth Aliyah: Jacob summoned all his sons, and delivered to each a poetic, and sometimes cryptic, parting personal message. Reuben was chastised for his impetuousness and for "ascending upon his father's bed." Shimon and Levi were rebuked for their anger, which expressed itself in the killing of the Shechemites and the attempted execution of Joseph. Judah was blessed with monarchy, success in waging battle, and an abundance of wine and milk in his portion. Zebulon was blessed with success in his sea-trade endeavors. Jacob likened Issachar to a thickboned donkey who finds both rest and ample work. Dan was blessed with the tenacity of a serpent and the ability to judge. Fifth Aliyah: Gad was blessed with bravery in battle. Asher's blessing: an abundance of olive oil. Naphtali was blessed with the speed of a deer. Joseph was recognized for his charm, suffering, and righteousness, and was showered with a variety of blessings. Sixth Aliyah: Benjamin was likened to a devouring wolf. Jacob then repeated his request to be buried in Israel, in the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron, and he passed away at the age of 147. After an extended national mourning period, Joseph received Pharaoh's permission to carry Jacob's body up to Israel. A huge funeral procession consisting of all the elders of Egypt as well as Jacob's family went and buried Jacob. After returning to Egypt, Joseph's brothers feared that now, after Jacob had passed away, Joseph would exact revenge from them for selling him into slavery. Joseph reassured them that he harbored no ill feelings towards them. Seventh Aliyah: Joseph lived until the age of 110. Before passing away he told his brothers that G d would eventually take them out of Egypt and return them to the Promised Land. Joseph asked his brothers to promise that when that time arrived they would carry his remains with them, and inter him in Israel. By Tzvi Freeman When He had finished His world, complete and whole, each thing in its place, the earth below and the heavens beyond,... it was then that the Artist signed His holy name, with a vacuum in time, a motionless vortex to the constant change, a hollow through which the Infinite Light could enter within and kiss the finite world. And He called it Shabbat. In each thing there is a Shabbat, an opening that allows life to enter, a desire to receive from Beyond. In each being there is a sense of wonder, of knowing that there is something greater. A something it will never know. And through that opening it receives life. With that wonder, it opens itself to the Infinite. BMC Challah Bake Tues Jan10 4 MOSAIC EXPRESS

6 PARSHA INSIGHTS TORAH IN VERSE From the book Daily Wisdom Moshe Wisnefsky IMMUNIZATION VS. INFLUENCE Jacob then surprised Joseph further by giving Ephraim precedence over Manasseh, even though Manasseh was older. ו אוּל ם א ח יו ה קּ ט ן י ג דּ ל מ מּ נּוּ וגו': (בראשית מח:יט) [Jacob told Joseph,] But his younger brother will become greater than he. Genesis 48:19 As we have seen, Manasseh represents our obligation to protect ourselves from the negative influences of our surroundings. Ephraim, in contrast, represents our obligation to influence our surroundings, to redeem ourselves and the world from exile. Since before influencing the world we must ensure that we are protected from its temptations, Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, and wished to give him precedence in receiving Jacob s blessing, as well. In granting his blessing, however, Jacob focused on the purpose of our descent into exile: not mere spiritual survival, but the spiritual growth that results from our successful encounter with exile. Jacob therefore gave precedence to Ephraim. Likewise, in our exile: although just like Manasseh is the firstborn securing our Jewish identity is the first step, our main purpose is to be an Ephraim, to positively influence the world around us. THE TORAH'S INNER DIMENSION Jacob then summoned the rest of his sons and blessed each one in accordance with his unique contribution to the overall Divine mission of the Jewish people. These individual emphases became the defining characteristics of the 12 tribes that descended from them. In his blessing to Judah, Jacob said that Judah s portion of the Land of Israel will be so suited to growing grapes that he will be able to wash his clothes in wine. כּ בּ ס בּ יּ י ן ל ב שׁוֹ וגו': (בראשית מט:יא) He will launder his clothes in wine. Genesis 49:11 Every time we observe a commandment, we create a spiritual garment for our souls. These garments, however, must be laundered in wine our fulfillment of the commandments must be imbued with joy. The way to achieve this joy is by studying the inner dimension of the Torah the teachings of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah and Chassidism) for this dimension of the Torah inspires us to love G d and cleave to Him through observance of His commandments. It is for this reason that this aspect of the Torah is referred to as the wine of Torah. By Justice Michel M. J. Shore Before Jacob was gathered unto our ancestors, He blessed his sons and those of Joseph as his; Praying that each of their attributes be strengthened. No one simply is, who one is, thus sentenced. One is, who one can become, a work in progress. Ephraim, be fruitful, strive more, never less. Menashe, you know G-d, recall your fellow man. Reuven, become solid. Judah, a lion for Zion. Zevulon, travel the harbors of life safely. Issahar, use your gift of strength but sanely. Dan, judge to find truth without being aloof. Gad, shall vanquish. Asher shall be enriched and others lives sooth. Naftali, the spokesman, craft your words wisely. Joseph, separate yet strong. Benjamin shares unmiserly. DOSE OF INSPIRATION by Tzvi Freeman There are three ways by which we know the unknowable You: You create infinite universes filled with infinite creations, each creature designed with infinite wisdom and sustained by Your infinite power. And so, we know You as The Infinite. 6 MOSAIC EXPRESS THE UNKNOWABLE YOU Yet You are more than that. You remain ever-hidden, for if Your presence would be felt, not one thing would remain in existence before Your light. In truth, there is nothing else but You. And so, we know You as The Absolute Existence. Yet You are more than that. Within this world of concealment, within the discrete and limited bounds You have set for it, You are with us at every moment of need, alive within the small, seamless miracles of our lives, those we rarely notice. For You transcend knowing and not-knowing, revelation and concealment, miracle and nature, finite and infinite, being and not-being. And You are found in all of these at once. And so, we know You as You, for there is nothing else we can say.

7 An inspiring story for your Shabbos table HERE S my STORY Generously sponsored by the THE ONE HOUR MISSION RABBI YISRAEL HABER ב ה ערב שבת פרשת ויחי, ט ו טבת, תשע ז Erev Shabbos Parshas Vayechi, January 13, 2017 I grew up on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in the 1950s. Though Crown Heights is mostly Chabad- Lubavitch, my family was not we were just plain Orthodox. However, due to the proximity and fame of the Rebbe, we would go see him twice a year during his public appearances. One of those times was Simchat Torah, when we would go to see the Rebbe and his chasidim dancing with the Torah into the wee hours of the morning. The other time was on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, when he conducted the Tashlich ceremony at the pond in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Thousands of people would march with the Rebbe, singing their hearts out, and I recall this making a tremendous impression on me as a child. Those were my childhood memories of the Rebbe. When I grew up, I moved away from Crown Heights. I went to university, became a psychologist and, after getting married, became a U.S. Air Force chaplain in Alaska. In 1973, while on my way to take up my post for the first time, I drove across the country, with my wife Miriam, and stopped in St. Paul, Minnesota. There we met two Chabad emissaries, Rabbi Moshe Feller and Rabbi Gershon Grossbaum, who upon hearing about my deployment insisted that I inform the Rebbe. I obliged and wrote to the Rebbe about my upcoming mission. In my letter, I noted the problem of building in Alaska a mikveh the ritual pool, without which a Jewish community cannot function. The U.S. Army had allotted the money, but I could not find anyone who knew how to build a mikveh, at least not anyone willing to come to Alaska. When I finished writing the letter I handed it to them and they asked me if there was anything they could do to help me. I confided my problem to them and to my shock, the younger emissary, Rabbi Grossbaum told me that he makes a living doing exactly this designing mikvehs and overseeing their construction and he would love to help me. Here I am looking all over America for someone to build me a mikveh, I thought. And, before they even put the stamp on the letter to the Rebbe, my problem is solved! In 1975, while the mikveh was being built, we came to New York for a private audience with the Rebbe. We got preferential treatment and, even the yeshivah students came out to see the rabbi from Alaska (I guess wanting to see if I looked like an Eskimo). I was very, very nervous because I didn t know the Chabad protocol for a meeting with the Rebbe. I had a Lubavitcher friend who was going to tell me what to do, but we were invited into the Rebbe s office before my friend showed up! Going in, I had one request on my mind: a blessing for me and my wife to have children. We had been married for three years and had still not been blessed with any offspring. I remember my knees shaking when we entered the room, but otherwise I was in a fog, so I can t relate much of what followed. But I do recall the Rebbe beginning an earnest conversation with my wife. He asked her about what it took to have the stamina to be Jewish in Alaska, and he invited her to call upon him personally whenever she experienced any problems. He also asked her to speak to the Jewish women of Alaska about the mikveh that was being built, and what it means for a Jewish woman to immerse in a continued on reverse An oral history project dedicated to documenting the life of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.

8 continued from reverse mikveh. She responded to my surprise that she would do whatever the Rebbe asked. When it came to me, the Rebbe asked if we distributed Jewish prayer books and copies of the Five Books of Moses. I said, No, we don t do that. Then, the Rebbe asked if we distributed Jewish educational materials so that little Jewish boys and girls of the Alaskan Range would be able to properly observe the holidays. I said, No, we don t do that. Then, the Rebbe asked if we visited the local prisons in order to connect with the Jewish inmates. I said, No, we don t do that. And then the Rebbe said, But from now on, you ll be doing all of this? I said, Yes, yes, from now on, we ll be doing all of this! Immediately a broad smile lit up the Rebbe s face and the only way I can describe this expression is this: It was as if I was looking at the sun rising in the middle of an Alaskan winter. In parting, the Rebbe blessed us with these words, May your sons grow up to be rabbis of big cities. (And this is exactly what happened.) When we returned home, there was a letter waiting for us addressed to Rabbi and Mrs. Yisrael Haber. The sender was Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York. We opened the letter, and both I and my wife got very emotional. It was a two-page letter congratulating us on having the merit to be the first Jews to build a mikveh in Alaska. Shortly after that, my wife announced to me that we were going to have a special guest for Passover. I was puzzled, since Passover was months away, but that was her way of telling me that the Rebbe s blessing had come true she was pregnant, and the baby would be with us come Passover. When the baby was about to be born, things got complicated, and the doctors wanted to operate. I placed a call to the Rebbe, who said, Don t do anything. May we hear good news. I told this to my wife, who responded, We will follow the Rebbe s advice. We had a fight with the doctors, but we prevailed. After some tense moments of unusual activity, the baby s vital signs returned to normal, and no special intervention was necessary. And two hours before the Rebbe s own birthday that year, our first son, Meir Moshe, was born. In 1978, we had a second audience with the Rebbe. At that time, we told the Rebbe that we wanted to move to Israel. After we assured the Rebbe that out replacement would carry-on the work we started in Alaska, he gave us his blessing. Two years later, when we came to see him again, he asked us to briefly return to Alaska even for one hour, he said. Though I didn t understand why, I did as he asked. During my brief visit to Anchorage, two Jewish lawyers from Philadelphia showed up. They were working with Eskimos on issues concerning the oil pipeline. One of them was in mourning for his mother and needed to say Kaddish. It turned out that I was an essential part of the quorum of ten Jewish men without which he couldn t recite the blessing. I organized the minyan and, after we finished praying, I made sure that the group would continue gathering together even after I left. They did carry on, and this minyan has actually continued until the Chabad emissary, Rabbi Yosef Greenberg, moved there and established a permanent synagogue. I think it s safe to assume that this is why the Rebbe told me I needed to be in Alaska for even for one hour. And only he would know. Rabbi Yisrael Haber and his wife Miriam have been serving as Chabad emissaries in the Golan Heights, Israel, for the past thirty-four years. Rabbi Haber was interviewed in his home in September of לע נ ר ישראל יעקב וזוגתו מרת קריינא ע ה לאקשין ע י בניהם ר נחמן ור אברהם ומשפחתם שיחיו This week in. > , the Naroler Rebbe, Rabbi Chaim Myer Yechiel Shapira, visited the Rebbe. As they discussed the institutions headed by Rabbi Shapira, upon learning that his students studied Jewish law and were receiving rabbinical ordination, the Rebbe expressed great satisfaction. 16 Teves In honor of our dear Rebbe By: Rabbi Peretz and Michal Shapiro & Anonymous You can help us record more testimonies by dedicating future editions of Here s My Story A project of: JEWISH EDUCATIONAL MEDIA interviews@jemedia.org myencounterblog.com Eastern Parkway Suite 403 Brooklyn, NY Copyright, Jewish Educational Media, 2017 Generously printed by

9 LA SIDRA DE LA SEMAINE PARACHAT VAYE HI 14 JANVIER TEVET 5777 VIVRE AVEC LA PARACHA Résumé Yaakov passe les dix-sept dernières années de sa vie en Egypte. Avant de mourir, il demande à Yossef d être enterré en Terre Sainte. Il bénit les deux fils de Yossef, Ménaché et Ephraïm, les élevant au même statut que ses propres fils : fondateurs des tribus du peuple d Israël. Il désire révéler la fin des temps à ses enfants mais il ne peut le faire. Yaakov bénit ses fils, assignant à chacun son rôle en tant que tribu : Yehouda donnera naissance à des chefs, des législateurs et des rois. Les prêtres descendront de Lévi, des érudits d Issa har, des marins de Zevouloun, des enseignants de Chimon, des soldats de Gad, des juges de Dan, des producteurs d olives d Acher etc. Réouven est réprimandé pour avoir «dérangé la couche maritale de son père», Chimon et Lévi pour le massacre de Ch hem et le complot contre Yossef. A Naphtali est attribuée la rapidité d un cerf, à Binyamin la férocité d un loup et Yossef est béni de beauté et de fertilité. Une grande procession, faite des descendants de Yaakov, des ministres du Pharaon, des notables d Egypte et de la cavalerie égyptienne, accompagne Yaakov dans son dernier voyage vers la Terre Sainte où il est enseveli, à Hevron, dans la grotte de Ma hpéla. Yossef meurt, lui aussi en Egypte, à l âge de 110 ans. Il a également donné des instructions pour être enterré en Terre sainte, mais cela ne se produira que bien longtemps après, lors de l Exode des Juifs d Egypte. Avant de mourir, Yossef confie aux Enfants d Israël le testament d où ils tireront espoir et foi pendant les difficiles années à venir : «Il est sûr que D.ieu Se rappellera de vous et vous sortira de cette terre (pour vous mener) vers la terre qu Il a jurée, à Avraham, Its hak et Yaakov». La Paracha de cette semaine renferme la bénédiction traditionnelle que donnent les parents à leurs fils, dans les foyers juifs : «Que D.ieu vous fasse semblables à Ephraïm et à Ménaché». Pourquoi cette bénédiction est-elle particulièrement choisie? Yaakov était descendu en Egypte où son fils Yossef occupait la fonction de vice roi. Il y constata que les fils de Yossef, Menaché et Ephraïm, se comportaient comme des enfants juifs, en dépit du fait qu ils avaient été élevés au sein de la luxure égyptienne. Dans une vision prophétique, il vit que ses descendants, le Peuple juif au cours des âges, vivraient de longues périodes de leur histoire en exil. Il ordonna alors que les parents bénissent leurs fils pour qu ils adoptent la conduite de ces deux enfants. Quand Yossef conduisit ses fils auprès de son père pour qu ils reçoivent sa bénédiction, il les plaça devant Yaakov selon l ordre de leur naissance : Menaché à droite et Ephraïm à gauche. Mais Yaakov croisa ses mains et plaça sa main droite sur la tête d Ephraïm. Quand Yossef protesta que Menaché était plus âgé, Yaakov lui répondit que Menaché serait grand mais qu Ephraïm le surpasserait. La clé, pour comprendre ce récit, réside dans les noms des deux frères. Menaché reçut son nom qui signifiait : «D.ieu m a fait oublié la totalité de la maison de mon père». Menaché évoque le Juif qui ne cesse de se rappeler qu il n appartient pas à la terre sur laquelle il vit, que son véritable foyer est «la maison de son père», en Erets Israël. Il se peut que «la maison de son père» soit oubliée et qu en pratique, il n en sache que peu de choses. Mais il sait que là-bas est son foyer. Cette prise de conscience le distingue, le différencie des gens parmi lesquels il vit. Ephraïm fut ainsi nommé parce que Yossef s écria : «D.ieu m a fait fructifier dans la terre de mon oppression». Il est bien conscient qu il se trouve «dans la terre de mon oppression» mais cela ne le gène pas. Au contraire, «il fructifie», transformant (Continuer à la page 11) MOSAIC EXPRESS 9

10 LE RECIT DE LA SEMAINE Il y a exactement 28 ans, en novembre 1988, Aharon Amzalag de Sydney (Australie) se rendit à New-York. Il venait officialiser les fiançailles de sa fille Miryam avec un jeune homme originaire du Venezuela, Moché Moskowitz. Le jour où les deux jeunes gens décidèrent de se fiancer (après un Chidou h en bonne et due forme donc plusieurs rencontres organisées par leurs parents respectifs), Aharon Amzalag partit informer le Rabbi de la bonne nouvelle. Des milliers de gens se pressaient chaque jour pour apercevoir le Rabbi, lui demander des bénédictions et recevoir de sa main un dollar à distribuer à la Tsedaka (charité). Durant les quelques secondes où chacun se trouvait face à face avec le Rabbi, il pouvait en profiter pour poser une question ou exprimer une courte requête : le Rabbi répondait brièvement tandis que la ligne progressait et que d autres personnes se présentaient devant le Rabbi. Quand M. Amzalag arriva devant le Rabbi, il annonça avec un sourire radieux : «Ma fille est devenue Kalla (fiancée) aujourd hui!». Le Rabbi lui donna un dollar et, comme à son habitude, le bénit pour que le mariage se passe dans les meilleures conditions possibles, dans un «moment favorable». Heureux de cette bénédiction, Aharon Amzalag se remit à marcher en serrant le dollar dans sa main tandis que la personne suivante dans la queue arrivait devant le Rabbi : il s agissait de Rav Mendel Itkin de Los Angeles. Ni l un ni l autre ne se connaissaient. A ce moment, le Rabbi rappela Aharon Amzalag, tout en tendant un dollar supplémentaire qu il désirait apparemment lui remettre en l honneur des fiançailles de sa fille. Mais M. Amzalag n entendit pas qu on l appelait et il y eut alors un moment de confusion : le Rabbi tendait le dollar, la queue s interrompit, M. Itkin s arrêta net lui aussi. Il cherchait à rappeler M. Amzalag mais celui-ci avait déjà avancé et lui ne savait trop comment agir. Finalement, le Rabbi donna le fameux dollar destiné initialement à M. Amzalag à M. Itkin. C est alors que M. Amzalag entendit qu on le rappelait et retourna sur ses pas! Le Rabbi lui tendit alors un autre dollar en précisant : «Celui-ci est pour la jeune fiancée». Puis le Rabbi prit un troisième dollar et le tendit à M. Amzalag : «Pour le fiancé!». Mais avant de le remettre à M. Amzalag, le Rabbi prit un quatrième dollar et lui tendit les dollars numéros 3 et 4 en lui demandant : «Kest?» (un mot en yiddish qui signifie : la dot, l argent nécessaire pour le mariage ou plutôt l aide financière que le beau-père est supposé fournir à son gendre pour les premières années). Ravi, M. Amzalag sourit en recevant ces deux dollars supplémentaires puis avança. Le Rabbi semblait sourire, rire même en remarquant : «Il ne sait pas ce que signifie le Kest!». Quant à M. Itkin, il avait donc déjà reçu son dollar et il continua son chemin lui aussi. Récapitulons : le Rabbi avait donné quatre dollars à M. Amzalag : un pour lui-même, un pour sa fille et deux pour son gendre. Tandis qu un cinquième dollar que le Rabbi avait eu l intention de lui donner fut finalement donné à quelqu un de Los Angeles, M. Itkin Cet échange mystérieux n avait rien d une erreur! Ce n est que treize ans plus tard, en 2001 que ce M. Mendel Itkin de Los Angeles se maria avec Aviva, l autre fille de M. Amzalag! Ainsi le dollar qui avait été destiné à la première fille de M. Amzalag parvint au mari de la seconde fille! Qui aurait pu imaginer que dans cette foule de milliers de personnes qui se pressaient dans la synagogue du Rabbi, deux personnes que le destin unirait treize ans plus tard se suivraient ainsi dans la queue - «par hasard»! Le dollar supplémentaire «pour le fiancé» était destiné au prochain fiancé dans la maison de M. Amzalag car au Ciel, un autre mariage avait déjà été prévu dans cette famille Et c était pour cela sans doute que le Rabbi ne put s empêcher de rire car, à l époque, personne ne pouvait comprendre ce qui se passait - sauf lui Mais l histoire ne s arrête pas là! Tout ceci avait été enregistré par la vidéo et les personnes que nous évoquons n en étaient pas conscientes jusqu il y a quelques semaines quand quelqu un visionna cet extrait vidéo sur YouTube, reconnut les personnes impliquées et leur envoya la cassette.

11 (Continued de la page 10) Les futurs beau-père et gendre s étaient tenus côte à côte devant le Rabbi sans le savoir mais le Rabbi savait! Il avait même déjà arrangé le Chidou h des années en avance! Le moment choisi par la Providence Divine ne pouvait mieux tomber puisque quelques jours après cette découverte, Mendel Itkin décédait à la suite d une grave maladie. Mais il avait encore pu réaliser combien le Rabbi s était occupé de lui des années auparavant. Ce fut sans doute la dernière bonne nouvelle qui adoucit quelque peu ses derniers moments sur terre. Ceci nous démontre une fois de plus (si c était nécessaire) que le hasard n existe vraiment pas Traduit par Feiga Lubecki (Continuer de la page 9) l obscurité de son environnement en lumière, utilisant les éléments de la terre sur laquelle il vit pour avancer encore davantage en matière de Torah et de Mitsvot. C est pour cette raison que Yaakov donne la plus grande bénédiction à Ephraïm car il réalise que le but ultime est de faire briller l exil lui-même. Si, en exil, il ne s agissait que de nous rappeler notre situation antérieure, D.ieu ne nous y aurait alors pas envoyés. S Il l a fait, c est parce que l exil luimême peut comporter des avantages. Utiliser ce qu il renferme à des fins spirituelles permet de révéler la Divinité qui y est latente. Tel est le but des Juifs envoyés en exil et c est Ephraïm qui permet la réalisation de ce projet. Mais par ailleurs, il y a une raison pour laquelle Yossef veut souligner les qualités de Menaché. En effet, quand Ephraïm peut-il réussir à transformer l obscurité de l exil en lumière? Quand il sait qu il a un frère, Menaché, qui, sans cesse, lui rappelle son identité et ses racines juives. Livré à lui-même, Ephraïm pourrait être englouti par l exil. Après tout, il s y intègre bien. Menaché lui permet de prendre conscience que s il est là, c est qu il y a un but et cela facilite l accomplissement de ce dessein. Au niveau de l action, nous devons accomplir le service divin à la fois de Menaché et d Ephraïm. Nous commençons notre journée par la prière et l étude, établissant le lien avec notre identité juive, le service de Menaché. Et puis nous nous livrons à nos activités quotidiennes, menant à bien le service d Ephraïm et transformant l obscurité en lumière. PERSPECTIVES La conclusion de la lecture de la Torah de cette semaine, qui conclut également tout le livre de Béréchit (la Genèse), relate la façon dont Yossef dit à ses frères : «Je meurs. D.ieu se souviendra assurément de vous et vous fera sortir de cette terre (pour vous mener) vers la terre qu Il a juré (de donner) à Avraham, Its hak et Yaakov». Yossef affirme clairement à ses frères que malgré les réalisations positives que l on peut exécuter en exil, cela n en reste pas moins l exil. Ce n est pas un lieu naturel pas plus qu un lieu ultime. Ce n est qu une résidence temporaire. Il est évident que (Continuer à la page 12) Nous remercions nos chers amis, Mr. Léon & Joëlle Elfassy, pour avoir accueilli le cours de Torah hebdomadaire, présenter par le Rav Pinto, à leur domicile.

12 EDITORIAL HORAIRE DE LA SEMAINE CHABBAT: Talmud et Hala ha h 30 POUVOIR DE L HOMME Seu'da Chelichit h 30 Après la lumière de Hanoucca, suivant la célébration du 5 Tévèt, la semaine a commencé par une date porteuse de messages opposés : 10 Tévèt, jour de jeûne, anniversaire du début du siège de Jérusalem par les armées venues de Babylone. On connaît la suite dramatique : l exil qui s ensuivra. Pourtant, le jour même du 10 Tévèt présente une ambivalence qu il faut relever. Le texte descriptif de l événement indique qu en ce jour «le roi de Babylone s approcha de Jérusalem». Le mot «s approcha», à prendre ici au sens de «mettre le siège», peut se traduire aussi par «soutenir». Il s agit là de bien plus que d une ambigüité. Le «roi de Babylone», indique les commentateurs, pouvait venir pour soutenir. Si les Juifs du temps l avaient mérité, sa volonté de guerre se serait transformée en volonté de soutien. Certes, c est malheureusement l inverse qui se produisit mais, potentiellement, ce soutien existait bien. Comment comprendre cette double signification? Il y a ici, de façon implicite, une problématique très contemporaine. Face à l adversité, l homme de ce temps est enclin à invoquer pêle-mêle la dureté de l époque, la perversité ambiante ou les infortunes du hasard. Autant de démarches qui, malgré la part d exactitude qu elles peuvent détenir, n en sont pas moins des façons plus ou moins subtiles d éviter la question essentielle : qu y puis-je vraiment, quel est mon pouvoir d action? Car il nous appartient de garder en tête cette notion : l évolution des choses n est jamais simplement une donnée externe, elle dépend de chacun. Le monde, son avenir ne sont que ce que nous en faisons. Tout événement est ainsi porteur de divers possibles, il convient alors de l orienter dans le sens désirable. C est là le pouvoir et la responsabilité de tout homme tant la liberté que D.ieu a donnée à Ses créatures est absolue. Aujourd hui, quand, à bien des égards, les ombres semblent monter, les choses devenir plus complexes que par le passé, l idée est encore plus précieuse et nécessaire. L homme est décidément au cœur de toute chose. A nous de choisir le bien, dans notre vie personnelle comme dans l existence commune, le monde en sera changé, et les jours de jeûne transformés en jours d allégresse. MERCREDI La Torah Pratique Joignez nous pour un cours interactive et pratique pour messieurs et dames...20h00 ETINCELLES DE MACHIAH LA JUSTESSE DU JUGEMENT Isaïe (11 :4), décrivant l œuvre de Machia h, déclare : Il jugera le pauvre avec justesse. Le pauvre est ici désigné, en hébreu, par le terme dal. Il est celui qui ne parvient pas à se contrôler. Il sait discerner le bien et le mal mais il manque de la détermination nécessaire pour traduire cette compréhension dans la pratique quotidienne. Le mot qui le désigne, dal, souligne ce manque. La Torah (Lévitique 14 :21) le traduit ainsi : Celui dont la main n atteint pas. Cet homme spirituellement pauvre qui ne parvient pas à se prendre en main sera jugé par Machia h, annonce le prophète. Mais ce jugement sera mené avec justesse car Machia h relèvera ses circonstances atténuantes. (Continuer de la page11) nous nous trouvons au seuil de la pendant que nous y sommes, nous devons utiliser tous les moyens possibles dans une intention divine, comme cela a été exposé plus haut, mais cela ne correspond pas à ce que nous sommes vraiment. C est encore plus vrai aujourd hui, alors que 12 MOSAIC EXPRESS Rédemption, et véritablement dans le processus qui consiste à traverser ce seuil. Nous devons être conscients de la nature temporaire de notre exil et de son but ultime : raffiner le monde et le préparer pour la Rédemption.
