G d hides, we seek. But where can G d hide? Wherever you go, there He is. As the Zohar says, There is no place void of Him. So perhaps what the Baal Shem Tov meant is more like peek-a-boo in which a parent hides behind his or her own fingers. So too, G d hides Himself within the guise of an awesome, indifferent king, judging His subjects strictly by the book until the most sublime angels shiver in dread. And we seek. We seek the father behind the stern voice. We are the small child who climbs into the king s arms, tears off the mask and exclaims, Daddy! Which is just what He was waiting for. MOSAIC EXPRESS 3

4 General Overview: This week's reading, Vayelech, recounts the events of the final day of Moses' terrestrial life. Moses transferred leadership to Joshua and wrote a Torah scroll which he handed over to the Levites. Moses commanded the Israelites to gather following every Sabbatical year, and informed them of the suffering which will be their lot when they will abandon the laws of the Torah. First Aliyah: Moses addressed the people, saying that he is 120 years of age on that day, and he is not permitted to cross the Jordan River together with them. Instead, Joshua will lead them, and G d will go before them and destroy their enemies. Second Aliyah: Moses continued his talk: G d will vanquish the inhabitants of Canaan as He did the Emorites and Bashanites. Moses enjoined the Israelites to be strong and not fear their enemies. Third Aliyah: Moses summoned Joshua and told him to be strong and courageous, for G d will be going before him and will not forsake him. Moses then wrote the entire Torah and gave it to the Kohnaim (priests) and the Israelite elders. Fourth Aliyah: Moses gives the commandment of Hakhel (assembly), whereby every seven years, during the holiday of Sukkot which follows the Sabbatical year, all men, women, and children assemble and the king publicly reads sections of the Torah. Fifth Aliyah: G d commanded Moses to enter the Tabernacle together with Joshua. G d appeared to them both and informed them that a time will come when the Israelites will abandon G d and stray after alien gods. At that time, G d will hide His countenance from the nation, and they will be subjected to much evils and troubles. Therefore, G d says, "Write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the Children of Israel. Place it into their mouths, in order that this song will be for Me as a witness..." This 'song' is narrated in next week's Torah reading. Sixth Aliyah: When G d's wrath will find the Israelites as a consequence of their evil actions, they will claim that the misfortunes are befalling them because G d has abandoned them. At that time, the song which Moses and Joshua wrote will bear testimony that these events are in fact punishment for their sinful behavior. Seventh Aliyah: Moses took the freshly concluded Torah scroll and gave it to the Levites. He instructed them to place it beside the Ark which contained the Tablets. Moses then gathered the entire nation to hear the song, wherein he would call upon the heavens and earth to be witnesses that the Israelites were forewarned regarding their fate. AND FINALLY... An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: 'They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!' she cried. The dispatcher said, 'Stay calm. An officer is on the way.' A few minutes later, the officer radios in. 'Disregard,' he says. 'She got in the back-seat by mistake.'

5 HIGH HOLIDAYS IN DNEPROPETROVSK Excerpted from the Memoirs of Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, mother of the Rebbe, whose Yartzeit is commemorated on Tishrei 6, this year October 8 he following episodes happened in 1935 T as well, if I remember correctly. There were only two small synagogues left in Dnepropetrovsk, one at the edge of town and the other at the center. The latter had not been confiscated by the government because its founders and congregants were workingclass craftsmen. My husband, the Rav, attended this shul. The gabbai was a tailor, the treasurer was a shoemaker, and most of the congregants practiced similar trades. These officials presided over their small kingdom, which was then well within their capability. When Schneerson began attending the shul, he attracted new congregants from a more diverse background, and the administration soon found it too difficult to continue managing the shul. They had to remain at their posts, however, to ensure that the shul retain its strictly proletarian character. They declared their great deference and absolute respect for the Rav. He had not been well-known to them until then, but when they got to know him, they agreed that he seemed to be a very fine Jew who apparently wasn t close with the bourgeoisie, and therefore could be fully trusted. CANTORS FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS Virtually no practicing chazzanim [cantors] were left in the Soviet Union by then. Yet some Jews with a flair for Jewish music were familiar with the traditional nusach tunes of the holiday prayer services and served as chazzanim during the month of Tishrei. As employees of the government, they were entitled to one month s vacation a year. Accordingly, they scheduled their vacation for the month of Tishrei. They generally wouldn t remain in their home towns but travelled to other cities seeking an appointment to lead the holiday prayers in a shul. Expressed in these chazzanim s prayers was their full year of pent-up, deep-seated feelings. Two such chazzanim came from Moscow to Yekatrinoslav for the High Holidays and Sukkot. My writing abilities are far insufficient to describe our shul s inspiring atmosphere and the outpouring of the soul expressed there on those holy days under the influence of the Rav and these two chazzanim. EARLY MORNING MINYAN, AND BACK FOR NE ILAH Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur fell on weekdays when the congregants were required to report for work. My husband arranged an early first minyan which completed its services by 8:00 a.m., after which its participants went straight to work. On Yom Kippur, however, they didn t go home after work but returned to shul in time for Ne ilah. For this service the shul was overcrowded, with many forced to stand outside. Everyone was exhausted from the fast and from having walked long distances. The physical strain was in addition to the spiritual agony from their awareness of the exalted day on which they had had to work, besides the heartbreakingly emotional prayers of the chazzanim all this was indescribable. The congregants expressed heartfelt thanks to my husband for making it possible for them to participate in congregational prayers on the High Holidays, despite the early hour. Copious tears poured down my husband s face as they spoke to him about this. Deriving intense satisfaction from their spiritual inspiration, he would comment with joy, Oh, how special Jews are! We were afraid to discuss such subjects very much. But my husband was pleased to have accomplished all this. BREAKING THE FAST When my husband would return home after Yom Kippur, he couldn t easily settle back into the everyday mundane existence. After coming home quite late in the evening, he drank only a glass of tea. Then he remained sitting, still garbed in his kittel and the gartel of his great-great-grandfather, the Tzemach Tzedek, to lead a farbrengen until two or three o clock in the morning. This was his regular custom on the evening after Yom Kippur, both when Jewish life had been less constricted and later when Judaism could be practiced almost solely within the confines of one s own home. Some of our friends were aware of my husband s custom, and they would eat a quick evening meal with their families before coming to our home. My husband would deliver a Chasidic discourse on subjects connected with the Yom Kippur prayers. In later years he spoke about the great qualities of Jews, their self-sacrifice to observe Judaism, and how they expressed their love towards other Jews in that difficult era. Ten or fifteen people always attended this farbrengen, which included dancing as enthusiastic as on Simchat Torah. MOSAIC EXPRESS 5

6 PARSHA INSIGHTS From the book Daily Wisdom Moshe Wisnefsky How to Seek Inspiration in the Torah Moses then summoned Joshua and appointed him as his successor in the presence of the entire Jewish people. ו יּ ק ר א מ שׁ ה ל יהוֹשׁ ע ו יּ אמ ר א ל יו... א תּ ה תּ בוֹא א ת ה ע ם ה זּ ה א ל ה א ר ץ א שׁ ר נ שׁ בּ ע ה' ל א ב ת ם וגו': (דברים לא:ז) Moses summoned Joshua and said to him... You must come with this people into the land that G d swore to their forefathers. Deuteronomy 31:7 G d s Torah and His commandments are eternal and unchanging, but the way they must be made relevant and applied in each generation changes as time progresses. In order to ensure that we live life in accordance with G d s wishes, G d Himself has authorized the rabbinic leaders of each generation to apply the Torah s teachings to the unique circumstances of their generation. Therefore, when today s rabbinic authorities apply the Torah s teachings in innovative ways, we cannot try to live in the past, complaining that the leadership of previous generations did not see the need for such innovations. On the contrary: only by reading the Torah through the eyes of our Joshua today s Moses can we be certain that the Torah will provide us with the inspiration to fulfill our Divine mission and live our lives to the fullest. Being a Jewish King Moses then conveyed G d s command to the Jewish people that they assemble once every seven years, during the festival of Sukot, in order to hear their king read specific passages from the Torah. Although they were commanded to study the Torah in any case, this ceremony was designed to instill renewed commitment to G d s covenant with them. תּ ק ר א א ת ה תּוֹר ה ה זּ את נ ג ד כּ ל י שׂ ר א ל בּ א ז נ יה ם: (דברים לא:יא) [Moses told Joshua, at the Sukot assembly, as their future king, ] You must read this Torah before all Israel. Deuteronomy 31:11 The objective of this assembly was to strengthen the foundations of Jewish education and observance. We can thus fulfill this commandment nowadays firstly by assembling all the various facets of our personalities in order to imbue them with the knowledge and reverence of G d. Next, we should assemble our families periodically and strengthen each other in a spirit of family love and camaraderie. Finally, we should assemble whatever groups of people we can whether at work, at school, in our synagogues, our extended families, our wider circle of friends, etc. in order to influence as many people as possible to enhance their commitment to the Torah s values and lifestyle, as based on the love and awe of G d. Fulfilling this commandment to the greatest extent possible will elicit G d s reciprocal response, and He will enable us to finally fulfill it in its optimal fashion, in the rebuilt holy Temple, as we listen to the Torah read to us by the ultimate Jewish king, the Messiah.

7 An inspiring story for your Shabbos table HERE S my STORY Generously sponsored by the THE UNFORGOTTEN JEW RABBI MENDEL NEMES ב ה ערב שבת פרשת וילך, ה תשרי, תשע ו Erev Shabbos Parshas Vayelech, October 7, 2016 Icome from a Chabad family with roots in Russia and Germany, though by the time I was born in 1958, my parents were living in Crown Heights. When my mother was pregnant with me, she and my father, Yitchak Nemes, came to see the Rebbe to ask for a blessing. At the time, it was the custom among some married religious women to wear a partial wig covered with a kerchief, but the Rebbe had been campaigning that they should fully cover their hair with a sheitel (wig). When the Rebbe saw my mother he said to her, A half a sheitel is a half a blessing, a whole sheitel is a whole blessing. After giving his blessing, the Rebbe asked to see my father privately and when my mother had left the room, he opened a drawer and took out a sum of money. It was a pretty large sum for those days. He then instructed my father to go to Manhattan and find out where the Broadway actors buy their wigs and buy my mother the nicest sheitel he could find. That is just one instance of the Rebbe s sensitivity and caring that my family experienced. My father was in the business of buying and selling postal stamps. As a result he travelled a lot, especially to Central and South America, buying stamps there and selling them to collectors in Europe. And, as if the Rebbe didn t have enough on his mind, he instructed his secretariat to save the foreign stamps from his incoming mail for my father. I recall my father peeling off these stamps from the envelopes and arranging them in special collectors albums. On one occasion in 1972, while my father was preparing to travel to a number of foreign cities including Managua, Nicaragua he wrote out his whole three-week itinerary for the Rebbe, asking for a blessing for a safe trip. The Rebbe gave the blessing, but also told my father not to rush. Meaning the Rebbe was blessing him to go, but not just yet. So my father postponed his trip. Shortly thereafter there was a massive earthquake in Managua with 6,000 people killed and 20,000 injured. Some of the people that my father was to meet did not survive. The destruction and loss of life was terrible, but my father was spared. Six months later my father decided to try again, and he asked the Rebbe if he should go now. This time the Rebbe instructed him, Check and see what the US State Department advises. My father called the State Department, and they said, The situation following the earthquake is very bad. We don t recommend that American citizens travel there. So he waited. Another three months passed, and again he asked the Rebbe, who told him that this time it was okay continued on reverse An oral history project dedicated to documenting the life of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.

8 continued from reverse to go, provided he made sure to be inoculated against malaria and other tropical diseases. When my father landed in Managua, he couldn t believe the disaster before his eyes. About a quarter-of-a-million people were homeless; hardly anything was standing. When he asked the taxi to take him to the main post office, the driver laughed, Are you crazy? That whole block is destroyed. My father insisted and, as it turned out, the main post office was still standing. My father went to see the postmaster general, who was amazed that he had come to Nicaragua. My father told him the whole story how the Rebbe saved his life. In response, the postmaster general said, You can have all the stamps you want for free. And, my father made a very nice profit as a result. On another occasion, my father was traveling to Guyana, a very primitive place where in 1978 the murder-suicide of the Jones cult took place. Before he left, the Rebbe gave him a dollar and told him to find a Jew in Guyana and give it to him. When my father arrived in the capital, Georgetown, he was told that there were no Jews living there. But as he had his instructions from the Rebbe, he could not just give up. The Rebbe gave me a dollar for a Jew, he said, so I will find a Jew. He started searching through the phone book and saw one Jewish-sounding name. So he went to that address and knocked on the door. A man answered and my father asked him if he was Jewish. The man said he was, and invited my father inside. Once my father went in and saw the place filled with graven images, he realized he couldn t stay there. So he asked the man to come to his hotel and spend Shabbat with him. The man did, and the experience proved life-transforming for him. And when he heard about the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he requested that my father bring him the Rebbe s picture on his return trip. My father did. And when he next visited the man s house, all the graven images were gone and only the Rebbe s picture was hanging up in the dining room. Following this my father stayed in contact You can help us record more testimonies by dedicating future editions of Here s My Story with him and, upon his request, arranged that he receive a kosher burial after his passing. That s what happened when the Rebbe made my father his messenger for delivering just one dollar such a seemingly small and insignificant mitzvah, with such huge impact.

9 LA SIDRA DE LA SEMAINE PARCHAT VAYELE H CHABBAT CHUVAH SAMEDI 7 OCTOBRE TICHRI 5777 VIVRE AVEC LA PARACHA e judaïsme est fondamentalement une L affaire d unité : l unité du D.ieu unique, l unité de l univers et l unité de toutes les personnes créées à l image de D.ieu. Et pourtant, le judaïsme accorde aussi à l homme ordinaire un droit irrévocable à la propriété, comme cela apparaît dans la Torah dans la répartition de la Terre d Israël entre les tribus et les familles, ainsi que dans le commandement de célébrer l année du Jubilé (où tous les biens sont restitués à leurs propriétaires d origine tous les 50 ans). L idée de la propriété foncière est par définition facteur de séparation et de division au sein de la société, en contradiction avec l idéal d unité. Comment pouvons-nous vivre avec ces idéaux contradictoires dans notre philosophie et dans notre pratique? Le dernier jour de sa vie, Moïse est bien conscient de cette apparente contradiction entre le droit de l individu à la propriété privée et la notion d unité. Son peuple s apprête à passer de la vie dans le désert, où il n y a pas de propriété foncière, à une vie agraire en Israël où, pour la première fois, ils deviendront des propriétaires terriens. Moïse sait qu il a une dernière occasion d enseigner à son peuple comment concilier ces idéaux opposés. C est pourquoi, le dernier jour de la vie, il ordonne à sa nation bien-aimée : À la fin de chaque septième année, à l époque de l année de relâche, lors de la Fête de Soukkot... quant tout Israël viendra paraître devant l Éternel ton D.ieu dans l endroit qu Il aura choisi, tu feras lecture de cette Torah en présence de tout Israël, à leurs oreilles. Assemble le peuple : les hommes, les femmes et les enfants, et ton étranger dans tes villes, afin qu ils entendent et afin qu ils apprennent et craignent l Éternel votre D.ieu, et s appliquent à accomplir toutes les paroles de cette Torah Et leurs enfants, qui ne savent pas encore, entendront et apprendront à craindre l Éternel votre D.ieu, tous les jours que vous vivrez sur la terre, pour la possession de laquelle vous allez passer le Jourdain. Dans ces versets, Moïse décrit un moyen d inculquer le message fondamental de l unité dans les cœurs et les esprits d un peuple qui investira la plupart de son temps, de son énergie et de ses efforts au travail de sa terre. Cela s effectuera à travers deux commandements : la Chemita, l année sabbatique durant laquelle il nous est interdit de travailler la terre, et le Hakhel, le rassemblement au Temple après l année sabbatique, lorsque le peuple se remet au travail pour les six prochaines années. Pendant l année de Chemita, la septième année, chaque propriétaire terrien prend une pause d un an de son travail agricole pour se consacrer à des activités spirituelles. Au cours de cette année, tout ce qui pousse dans les champs est légalement sans propriétaire et chacun est libre d entrer dans n importe quel verger ou champ pour profiter de ses fruits. Cette mitsva est, pour le peuple, un puissant rappel que le but de la vie n est pas seulement d amasser des richesses, que leur véritable essence est l âme et non le corps et qu ils doivent consacrer du temps à nourrir leur âme, tout comme ils consacrent du temps à nourrir leur corps. Et puis, à la fin de la longue année sabbatique, au moment où tous sont impatients de reprendre le travail de la terre, arrive la mitsva que la nation tout entière se rassemble dans le Temple pour entendre les paroles de la Torah. Moïse dit au peuple que, s ils veulent pouvoir conjuguer les bénédictions de la propriété privée et l existence unifiée qui est la vérité profonde du judaïsme, alors avant qu ils retournent dans les champs, ils doivent revivre le don de la Torah au Sinaï. Ils doivent se rassembler hommes, femmes et enfants comme au Sinaï, lorsque tous les Enfants d Israël se tenaient autour de la montagne «comme un seul homme, avec un seul cœur», unis autour des paroles et des enseignements de la Torah. Moïse comprit que les enfants, les générations futures, devaient aussi faire l expérience de ce puissant sentiment d unité qui vient à travers les enseignements unificateurs de la Torah, plutôt que par des bénédictions matérielles qui peuvent parfois causer la division. Grâce à ces commandements, ils apprirent que, bien qu ils puissent tous posséder des biens et des richesses matérielles, ils ne sont pas définis, et ne devraient donc pas se définir, par leurs possessions et leurs réalisations matérielles. Moïse disait à chacun : «Bien que ta maison puisse être plus belle que celle de ton voisin, vous êtes un. Vous êtes un, parce que ton âme, l essence de ton être, ne fait qu un avec l âme de ton voisin. Les biens matériels qui vous séparent ne sont rien d autre qu un habillage extérieur. Ils ne sont pas qui tu es et ne peuvent donc pas te séparer de ton ami.» Et puis il y a nous. (Continuer à la page 10) MOSAIC EXPRESS 9

10 LE RECIT DE LA SEMAINE Quelques jours après Roch Hachana, Rav Yossef Groner qui, avec son épouse, s occupe de la communauté de Charlotte (Caroline du Nord), s apprêtait à quitter la synagogue après l office du matin. C est alors qu entra M. Walter Schechter, tout excité : Mes amis! Ecoutez bien ce que je vais vous raconter! Vous savez que je joue toutes les semaines au tennis avec mon ami Larry. Sa fille, Debra, habite à Los Angeles. Elle a une très bonne situation et est très bien installée. En ce qui concerne le judaïsme, disons qu elle n a pas les mêmes opinions que son père. Celui-ci lui a téléphoné juste avant Roch Hachana pour lui souhaiter une bonne et douce année. Il lui a aussi recommandé de se rendre à la synagogue : Debra! Tu sais que Roch Hachana est un jour important! Un jour durant lequel un Juif se rattache à D.ieu et à la communauté. De plus, tu écouteras le Choffar, ce qui est une Mitsva très importante!. Papa, je t en prie, laisse-moi tranquille. Pour moi, tous ces trucs spirituels ne signifient pas grand-chose. De plus, j ai un travail fou en ce moment et je ne peux pas me permettre ce genre de sorties! Larry n a pas insisté. Il aime trop sa fille pour engager une discussion. Il s est contenté de renouveler ses vœux et d espérer qu elle serait plus réceptive une autre fois. Le lendemain de Roch Hachana, Larry a reçu un coup de fil de sa fille. Elle était bouleversée par ce dont elle avait été témoin : le matin de Roch Hachana, sans doute à l heure où Larry priait dans sa synagogue à Charlotte, elle marchait sur Wilshire Boulvard pour se rendre à son bureau. En attendant de traverser la route à un feu rouge, elle a aperçu un jeune homme barbu, avec un chapeau et une redingote typiquement hassidique qui s approchait d un clochard, assis juste devant un magasin. 10 MOSAIC EXPRESS Et voilà ce qu elle a entendu : Bonjour Monsieur! Etonné, le clochard a regardé le Hassid comme pour dire : Personne ne m appelle Monsieur! Et personne ne me souhaite Bonjour! Bonjour, Monsieur répéta le Hassid, un peu plus fort. Plus de doute. Le clochard comprit que le Hassid s adressait bien à lui. Son visage s illumina. J espère que je ne vous dérange pas mais êtes-vous juif? Oui! Je m appelle David! Aujourd hui, David, c est le début de la nouvelle année juive, c est Roch Hachana! Et nous sonnons dans le Choffar, une corne de bélier dont le son nous rappelle la présence de D.ieu, du Roi du monde! Avezvous déjà entendu le Choffar aujourd hui, David? Heu non! Le Hassid a sorti le Choffar de son sac. Il a enlevé sa Kippa de dessous son chapeau et l a posée sur les cheveux longs et crasseux de David. Il lui a fait réciter les bénédictions et a sonné le Choffar. Papa, dit Debra, en voyant cet homme religieux agir aussi gentiment envers ce pauvre homme dont la plupart des gens s écartent avec gêne, j ai ressenti un profond sentiment religieux ce matin-là. Ce coin de rue était ma synagogue ce Roch Hachana! Malka Touger Traduit par Feiga Lubecki (Le Paracha- Continuer de la page 9) Nous, dont les corps ne se sont pas tenus au Sinaï, qui ne nous sommes pas pressés, épaule contre épaule, avec l ensemble de la nation d Israël à la lecture de la Torah dans le Temple, nous aussi nous devons méditer sur ce message chaque année, quand l histoire du dernier jour de Moïse sur cette terre est lue dans la Torah. Nous devons fermer les yeux et nous imaginer debout avec tous nos frères et sœurs au pied du Sinaï, écoutant les paroles de D.ieu et prenant le message du Sinaï à cœur. Si, avec toutes nos différences, nous pouvons nous définir comme des âmes envoyées dans ce monde pour un but spirituel ; si la société que nous créons valorise l individu pour son essence spirituelle, alors nous pouvons avoir une société unifiée. Nos maisons, nos champs, nos voitures et nos pensions de retraite peuvent être différents, mais nous savons que nous sommes un, «comme un seul homme, avec un seul cœur». par Mena'hem Feldman LE COIN DE LA HALACHA FESTOYER AVANT LE JEÛNE Le jour qui précède Yom Kippour est un yom tov, un jour festif. Car, bien que nous nous tenions prêts à comparaître devant le tribunal céleste pour nos actions de l année écoulée, nous sommes confiants dans le fait que D.ieu est un juge miséricordieux, et qu Il décrètera pour nous une année de vie, de bonne santé et de prospérité. C est une mitsva de manger et de boire en abondance, plus que d habitude, en ce jour. Le Talmud affirme que «Tout celui qui mange et boit le 9 [Tichri], est considéré comme s il avait jeûné le 9 et le 10.» Deux repas sont consommés, le premier le matin, ou en début d après-midi, et le second, le «repas de séparation» (séouda hamafséket), juste avant le début de Yom Kippour. Ce sont des repas de fête, lors desquels nous trempons la hallah dans le miel. En ce jour, il convient de consommer des

11 (Continuer de la page 10) aliments légers, faciles à digérer, comme du poisson ou du poulet. (Dans le dernier repas avant le jeûne, nous évitons de manger du poisson.) Dans de nombreuses communautés, il est de coutume de consommer des kreplakh des sortes de raviolis triangulaires farcis à la viande hachée la veille de Yom Kippour. Ils peuvent être bouillis et servis dans la soupe (telle est la méthode traditionnelle) ou frits et servis comme accompagnement. La viande symbolise la sévérité, et la pâte représente la bienveillance. En préparation au Jour du Jugement, nous «recouvrons» la sévérité avec la bienveillance. DEMANDER PARDON «Car en ce jour [de Kippour], Il fera expiation pour vous purifier de toutes vos fautes, afin que vous soyez purifiés devant D.ieu» Lévitique 16,30 À Yom Kippour, D.ieu dans Sa clémence efface tous les péchés que nous avons commis «devant D.ieu» mais pas les péchés que nous pouvons avoir commis envers notre prochain. Si nous voulons vraiment sortir de ce saint jour totalement lavés de tout péché, nous devons d abord solliciter le pardon de toute personne à qui nous avons pu causer du tord. Ceci s applique que le tort commis ait été physique, émotionnel ou financier (auquel cas, la demande de pardon s ajoute à la réparation du préjudice financier). Tout comme la personne ayant commis l offense est enjointe de rechercher sincèrement le pardon, de même, il est attendu de la victime qu elle pardonne de bon cœur à condition qu elle soit sûre que la demande de pardon est réellement sincère. Quelques détails : Il convient de spécifier les faits pour lesquels on demande pardon, sauf dans le cas où cela causerait une gêne supplémentaire à la victime. Si la personne offensée refuse d accorder son pardon, la personne ayant commis l offense devra venir la voir à cet effet à plusieurs reprises, en étant accompagnée à chaque fois de quelques amis (pour que ceux -ci tentent de convaincre la victime de la sincérité de l offenseur.) Si la personne à qui vous avez causé du tort est décédée et que sa sépulture est à proximité, emmenez un minyan (un quorum de dix hommes bar-mitsva) sur place et implorez son pardon. Si sa tombe n est pas proche, vous pouvez demander à quelqu un de cette ville de rassembler un minyan et d y demander son pardon en votre nom. LE LEKA H Il est de coutume de demander et de recevoir du «leka h» (un gâteau au miel, symbolisant une douce année) de quelqu un (en général un maître ou un parent) le jour qui précède Yom Kippour. L une des raisons données pour cette coutume est que s il a été décrété, à D.ieu ne plaise, qu au cours de l année on en soit réduit à recevoir une aumône de quelqu un, on soit considéré comme ayant été quitte de ce décret en ayant demandé cette nourriture. Le Rabbi de Loubavitch ajoute à cela une explication plus profonde : «Demander du leka h» la veille de Yom Kippour instille en nous la conscience que toute la subsistance que nous recevons au cours de l année, y compris celle que nous «gagnons» supposément à travers nos efforts, est en réalité un don d En-Haut, accordé en réponse à nos demandes quotidiennes à «Celui qui nourrit le monde entier dans Sa bonté, avec grâce, bienveillance et compassion» (texte de la première bénédiction des Actions de Grâce après le repas Birkat Hamazone). Le Rabbi distribuait également du leka'h le jour de Hochaana Rabba à ceux qui n'en avait pas reçu avant Yom Kippour. LA PRIÈRE DE L APRÈS-MIDI Min ha (l office de l après-midi) est célébré relativement tôt pour donner à tous suffisamment de temps pour rentrer chez soi et consommer le repas de séparation. Vêtus des habits de fête, tous se rendent à la prière de Min ha. Flagellation Avant Min ha, les hommes ont la coutume d être «flagellés». Ces coups symboliques rendent la personne humble et lui rappellent la nécessité de se repentir. Celui qui reçoit la flagellation s agenouille face au nord en ne mettant qu un genou à terre. Au moyen d une lanière ou d une ceinture de cuir, quelqu un lui administre 39 «coups de fouet» (des petites tapes) sur le dos. La première tape sur l épaule droite, la seconde sur la gauche, la troisième dans le creux du dos (au milieu, en bas), puis reprend cette séquence jusqu à ce que les 39 tapes aient été administrées. Pendant la flagellation, aussi bien celui qui donne les «coups» que celui qui les reçoit récite le verset suivant à trois reprises (le verset contient treize mots), un mot à chaque «coup» : והוא רחום יכפר עון ולא ישחית והרבה להשיב אפו ולא יעיר כל חמת Vehou ra'houm yekhapère avone velo yach'hit vé-irba léhachiv apo vélo yaïr kol 'hamato («Et Lui qui est miséricordieux, Il pardonne la faute et ne détruit pas ; Il abonde à retenir Son courroux et ne réveille pas toute Sa colère.» Psaumes 78, 38) Charité Il est de coutume de donner la tsédaka (charité) généreusement et abondamment le jour qui précède Yom Kippour. La tsédaka est une grande source de mérite et constitue une protection contre les mauvais décrets. Quand le Rabbi pénétrait dans la synagogue pour la prière de min ha de ce jour, il portait dans ses mains un sac de pièces. Les tables étaient recouvertes de centaines de boites et assiettes de charité, pour des causes allant de la collecte pour nourrir les nécessiteux et aider les jeunes filles pauvres à se marier, jusqu au financement des écoles et des «campagnes des mitsvot», et au-delà. Méthodiquement, le Rabbi mettait une pièce dans chaque boite, chaque assiette, sans en omettre aucune. La prière Lors de la prière de l après-midi, les passages de Achamnou et Al het sont récités avant la conclusion de la Amidah (mais pas par l officiant lors de la répétition de la Amidah). Ces prières essentielles de Yom Kippour seront répétées maintes fois au cours de la fête. (Continuer à la page 12) MOSAIC EXPRESS 11

12 EDITORIAL UN TEMPS NOUVEAU oici que, sur nos calendriers, un V nouveau nombre apparaît. L année qui commence porte le numéro 5766 et, en soi, c est déjà une nouveauté impressionnante pour nos esprits trop facilement routiniers. Cette seule constatation pourrait nous laisser voir que Roch Hachana se limite à cette modification-là: une unité supplémentaire ajoutée au décompte du temps. Pourtant, il n en est rien. A Roch Hachana, jailli du plus profond du cœur de chacun, un cri retentit. Inarticulé car trop puissant pour que les mots puissent le circonscrire, il remplit les synagogues. Ce cri, présent en l âme de chacun, c est le Choffar qui l exprime. Il proclame que D.ieu est le Roi de l univers et que Son peuple Le désigne comme tel. N est-il pas étrange que, pour une si grande solennité, on ait recours à un instrument si primitif: une simple corne? Une musique plus sophistiquée n auraitelle pas été plus appropriée? C est que justement, en un tel jour, les artifices n ont pas leur place. C est la sincérité du cri qui importe ici. Lorsque Roch Hachana revient, nous (Continuer de la page 11) Les ta hanoun (confession et supplications) de même que Avinou Malkénou ne sont pas récités. Avant le coucher du soleil, nous prenons le dernier repas, appelé séouda hamafseket, le «repas de séparation», qui sépare les jours de la semaine du jour le plus saint de l année. C est un repas de fête et la hallah est trempée dans le miel. Seuls des aliment faciles à digérer sont au menu, comme du poulet et de la soupe. Pas d alcool, et il est de coutume de ne pas consommer de poisson 12 MOSAIC EXPRESS sommes ainsi invités à un grand rendez-vous: celui de chacun avec son Créateur et, d une certaine manière, avec soi-même. Lorsque, le jour où la nouvelle année commence, nous nous retrouvons à la synagogue, que nous écoutons le Choffar et affirmons ainsi notre attachement à D.ieu, nous savons que le monde ne sera plus jamais le même. Nous savons que nos actes, à la modeste place qu ils occupent, ont en eux ce pouvoir de réaliser un bouleversement profond et durable. On dit parfois que les temps que nous vivons sont difficiles, voire lourds de menaces. Lorsque revient Roch Hachana, nous prenons conscience qu une année véritablement nouvelle commence, qu elle peut être porteuse de toutes les bénédictions, qu il nous appartient de les faire se concrétiser par nos actions de chaque instant. Le Choffar est ici comme une clé qui nous ouvre la porte de demain. Il faut savoir l entendre afin que cette année soit non seulement bonne et douce mais aussi celle où il retentira, signe annonciateur de la Délivrance. lors de ce repas. Si l on souhaite manger après avoir terminé ce repas, il faudra avoir présent à l esprit en récitant les Actions de Grâce après le repas que l on a l intention de manger ou de boire jusqu au début du jeûne. Il convient d arrêter de manger à l heure de l allumage des bougies. Bénissez vos enfants Il est de coutume que les parents bénissent leurs enfants juste avant le début du jeûne. HORAIRE DE LA SEMAINE Mercredi: La Torah Pratique joignez un cours interactive au theme de Torah mit en pratique pour messiurs et dames..20h15 Chabbat Talmud et Hala ha...17h 20 Seu'da Chelichit....18h 20 ETINCELLES DE MACHIAH A LA FIN DE L EXIL A l approche du temps de Machia h... chaque jour, la malédiction est plus grande que la veille. C est en ces termes que le Talmud (Sotta 49a) décrit la période qui débouchera sur l ère tant attendue. Cette phrase ne laisse pas que d être étonnante. En effet, pourquoi insister avec une telle force sur des événements essentiellement négatifs même si leur aboutissement est positif? A quoi sert de savoir qu après tant de siècles d attente, c est à une telle situation que l on doit arriver? Pourtant cette assurance est nécessaire. Si la Torah ne nous l avait pas faite, nous aurions pu désespérer car nous n aurions pas compris comment une telle évolution est possible. Nous aurions perdu le courage de lutter pour l accomplissement des choses. C est pourquoi la Torah prend soin de nous informer qu à la fin de l exil, la situation sera difficile. Ainsi nous gardons espoir et nous poursuivons notre œuvre spirituelle de Torah et de Mitsvot sachant que les temps sont proches.
