4 ALIYAH SUMMARY General Overview: This week's reading, Acharei-Kedoshim, begins with a detailed description of the service of the High Priest on Yom Kippur. Dozens of commandments are then discussed in this week's reading. Among them: the prohibitions against offering sacrifices outside the Temple; consuming blood; incestuous, adulterous, or other forbidden relationships; various mandatory gifts for the poor; love for every Jew, prohibition against sorcery; honesty in business dealings; and sexual morality. First Aliyah: The High Priest is instructed to only enter the Holy of Holies chamber of the sanctuary once a year, on Yom Kippur; and even on this holiest day of the year, the entry into the Temple's inner sanctum must be accompanied by a special service and specific offerings which are detailed in this reading. The High Priest was only permitted to enter amidst a cloud of burning incense. Also, special white garments were worn by the High Priest on this day. While offering the day's sacrifices, the High Priest would "confess" on behalf of the entire nation, attaining atonement for the past year's sins. This section continues with a description of the "scapegoat" ceremony procedure. Second Aliyah: After concluding the order of the Yom Kippur service in the Temple, the Torah instructs us to observe Yom Kippur as a Day of Atonement when we must abstain from work and "afflict" ourselves. The Jews are then forbidden to offer sacrifices anywhere other than the Tabernacle or Temple. Third Aliyah: We are enjoined not to consume blood. When slaughtering fowl or undomesticated animals, we are commanded to cover their blood with earth. The Jews are admonished not to follow the depraved ways of the Egyptians and Canaanites. On this note, the Torah provides a list of prohibited sexual relationships. The list includes adultery, cohabiting with a menstruating woman, and forbidden close relatives. Fourth Aliyah: The prohibitions against homosexuality and bestiality are mentioned. The Jews are then warned that engaging in these forbidden relationships will result in their 4 MOSAIC EXPRESS expulsion from the Land of Israel -- a holy land which cannot tolerate immoral behavior. G d commands the Jewish people to be holy. This section then briefly discuses several laws: revering parents; observing the Shabbat; prohibitions against idolatry; the obligation to burn "leftover" sacrificial flesh; the obligation to leave certain parts of one's harvest for the poor; not to lie, cheat, withhold wages, swear falsely, curse or mislead another. Fifth Aliyah: More mitzvot: Not to pervert justice, gossip, be indifferent to a fellow's predicament, hate a fellow Jew, bear grudges, or take revenge. To reprimand a sinner, and to love every Jew. The following statutes are also given here: not to sow a field with two kinds of seed, wear a garment made of a mixture of wool and linen (shatnez), or crossbreed animals. The section also includes with the laws of one who commits adultery with a half-free maidservant. We are introduced to the laws of "orlah," the prohibition against eating the fruit of a new sapling for the first three years, and the obligation to sanctify the fruit of the fourth year. We are enjoined not to engage in witchcraft or prostitution, or tattoo our bodies. Men are instructed not to destroy the hair at the edges of their scalp or the corners of their beards. We are commanded to observe the Shabbat; respect G d's sanctuary, Torah scholars and the elderly. Sixth Aliyah: We are commanded to love converts. We are also enjoined to be truthful in business dealing by maintaining honest weights and measures. The Torah prescribes capital punishment for one who worships Molech; a form of idolatry which required human sacrifices. The Torah also describes the punishment which will befall the nation if they neglect to punish Molech worshippers. Seventh Aliyah: The Torah sets the punishments for individuals who curse their parents and those who engage in prohibited sexual relations. We are instructed not to follow the customs and traditions of the heathens, and to be meticulous about eating only kosher foods. The Torah portion ends with an enjoinder that we be holy. Iyar , Wednesday May A year after the Exodus, G d instructed the people of Israel to bring the Passover offering on the afternoon of the fourteenth of Nissan, and to eat it that evening, roasted over the fire, together with matzah and bitter herbs, as they had done the previous year just before they left Egypt. There were, however, certain persons who had become ritually impure through contact with a dead body, and could not, therefore, prepare the Passover offering on that day. They approached Moses and Aaron... and they said:... Why should we be deprived, and not be able to present G d s offering in its time, amongst the children of Israel? (Numbers 9:6 7). In response to their plea, G d established the 14th of Iyar as a Second Passover (Pesach Sheni) for anyone who was unable to bring the offering on its appointed time in the previous month. The day thus represents the second chance achieved by teshuvah, the power of repentance and return. In the words of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch, The Second Passover means that it s never a lost case. It is customary to mark this day by eating matzah, shmurah matzah if possible

6 PARSHA INSIGHTS TORAH IN VERSE From the book Daily Wisdom Moshe Wisnefsky THE POWER OF YOM KIPPUR The rituals that were performed by the high priest in the Tabernacle on Yom Kippur atoned principally for the collective misdeeds of the community. In contrast, each individual atones for his or her own personal misdeeds on Yom Kippur through repentance, fasting, and refraining from working on this day. כּ י ב יּוֹם ה זּ ה י כ פּ ר ע ל יכ ם ל ט ה ר א ת כ ם וגו': (ויקרא טז:ל) For on this day, [G-d] will effect atonement for you in order to purify you. Leviticus 16:30 Rather than surgically removing our misdeeds from us, Yom Kippur removes us from our misdeeds, by elevating us far above them. Therefore, the focus on Yom Kippur is on our relationship with G-d rather than on our misdeeds per se. What is required of us on this day is to yearn to be reconciled with G-d in a general sense, and to express this yearning by observing Yom Kippur properly. Yom Kippur elevates us this way because the day itself reveals the intrinsic connection that every Jew shares with G-d by virtue of his or her Divine soul. The connection between our essence and G-d s essence has existed since before Creation and is therefore not limited by time or space. For this reason, it cannot be damaged by any misdeeds we might have committed. Thus, the very day of Yom Kippur by revealing this intrinsic connection between ourselves and G-d wipes our slate completely clean. THE POWER OF SACRIFICE G-d gave Moses further instructions regarding sacrifices, stipulating that they may be offered up only in the Tabernacle (or in its successor, the holy Temple). ל מ ע ן א שׁ ר י ב יאוּ בּ נ י י שׂ ר א ל א ת ז ב ח יה ם... לה' וגו': (ויקרא יז:ה) The Israelites should bring their feastofferings to G-d. Leviticus 17:5 Offering up animal sacrifices to G-d seems to go against the Torah s respect for animal life. Even with regard to non-animal sacrifices, why would G-d ask us to take valuable property and burn it up for no apparent benefit? Furthermore, of all G-d s commandments, why does the Torah refer only to sacrifices as being pleasing to G- d? Surely it pleases G-d when we perform any of His commandments! The answer is that sacrifices please G-d in the purest way precisely because the only possible reason for offering them up is in order to fulfill His will. Unlike other commandments, there is no possible ulterior motive for sacrifices. Since they fly blatantly in the face of logic, no selfinterest can be involved. Clearly, this is a much greater state of self-nullification than that required to fulfill any of the Torah s other commandments. Today, our daily prayers are a reflection of the sacrifices offered up in the Tabernacle. Just as with the sacrifices, it may seem illogical to waste our valuable time on praying when we could be actually doing something even holy deeds, such as studying the Torah or performing some practical commandment. Yet it is precisely by dedicating our valuable time and concentration to nothing other than getting closer to G-d that we connect to Him in the most profound, intimate way. By Justice Michel M. J. Shore ACHAREI MOT The solemnity of the desert Sanctuary Beckoned cleansing of the Kohanim tributary. To submit in worship on Yom Kippur To God s majesty and service, most pure.

7 An inspiring story for your Shabbos table HERE S my STORY Generously sponsored by the THE YOUNG ROLE MODEL MRS. ROCHEL LEA PRESMAN ב ה ערב שבת פרשת אחרי-קדושים, ט אייר, תשע ז Erev Shabbos Parshas Acharei-Kedoshim, May 5, 2017 Iwas born in the USSR in the decade after the Holocaust, shortly after the death of Stalin. By then, there was no dayto-day fear for the Jews of being killed or sent to death camps. By then, the fear was of being persecuted simply for practicing Judaism. Nevertheless, largely through my grandfather s efforts, we got a Jewish education, and we stayed loyal to Torah. In 1971, we had the opportunity to get out, and we took it. We came to Israel, where we had relatives, and settled in Kiryat Malachi. I had just finished high school in Russia, and now I enrolled in a language school to learn Hebrew, with the intent of continuing on to university. At this time, many people were telling my father that his daughter should not be going to the university that it was not right, not proper, for a religious girl to do this. My father was conflicted and didn t know how to guide me. Meanwhile, I was determined to get a university education and had enrolled in a preparatory course. But also, I didn t want to hurt my father or go against him. So, when the opportunity came to visit New York and see the Rebbe who, I knew, had studied in universities in Paris and Berlin I seized the chance. I was sure the Rebbe would understand me and also help me put my father s mind at rest. In advance of the audience, I wrote a long letter to the Rebbe in Russian, explaining my situation and pouring out my heart. And when I walked into the Rebbe s office, my letter was lying on the table in front of him. This I remember vividly. I had been very anxious before this meeting but, in the Rebbe s presence, I felt calm and comfortable. He was smiling when he started to speak, using a very elegant, poetic Russian. I had only heard this before from very few people who came from aristocratic families. No one speaks like this anymore. He said, The university in the modern Western World is not anything like the university was in Europe before World War Two. Back then, the university placed a great deal of value on pure study. Today it s not like that. Today, people go to university for the atmosphere and the social groups, while simply acquiring enough knowledge necessary for whatever profession will generate the most income for them. At this point his smile grew wider. But from your letter, I see that is not the reason you want to go. And, of course, he was one-hundred percent correct. I am sure that the university will not harm you or influence you negatively, he continued, but that is not the issue here. The issue is that you cannot think only about yourself but also about others. Your family has kept the Torah in Russia when it was an incredible feat (How he knew that, I don t know, because I said nothing about that in my letter.) And you must continue to serve as a role model to those Russian Jews who will soon leave the Soviet Union. Hundreds will come out, and then thousands, followed by hundreds of thousands. They will see you and think that, if a girl from a family such as yours went to university, it must be a good thing to do. But they will not have your background or your strengths, and the university will influence them negatively. It will draw them continued on reverse An oral history project dedicated to documenting the life of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.

8 continued from reverse away from G-d and His Torah. I must say that I listened to his words with total astonishment. I knew how hard it was to get out of Russia and I couldn t fathom hundreds of thousands of Jews being allowed to leave. Back in 1971, this was an impossible dream. In fact very few Jews even wanted to leave. Yet the Rebbe knew, even back then, that it would happen. That said, he went on, there are other ways to acquire an education. You can study via a correspondence course, for example. And I see you would like to study languages perhaps you would like to study English? When I countered that there were many native English speakers in Israel and there would be no job for me, he responded, Not everybody who knows a language knows how to teach that language. The Rebbe recommended as well that I study in a girls seminary in Kfar Chabad, the Lubavitch enclave in Israel. He said that although my family had kept the Torah in Russia, my knowledge of Judaism was not complete and such studies would serve me well in the future. His words had a big impact on me. Rather than enrolling in university to study psychology, I took his advice and I enrolled in the girls seminary in Kfar Chabad. I studied to be a teacher and received a teacher s certificate. This teacher s certificate proved to be a most valuable thing later on because, when the Rebbe s prophecy came true and hundreds of thousands of Russian Jews streamed into Israel, I was able to help them. The Rebbe then instructed me to work for an organization called SHAMIR (Association of Religious Professionals from the USSR), which was set up to help Russian immigrants spiritually as well as physically by helping them settle in Israel. Years later I got a job as a teacher in a language school, where I taught Hebrew to Russian immigrants. Thanks to the key to success I received from the Rebbe, I was able to help them. Yes, I was not a native Hebrew speaker. In fact, Hebrew was my third language after Yiddish and Russian. And I was living in a sea of people who were native Hebrew speakers. Some of them said to me, What? You will teach Hebrew? You are coming with straw to a place of straw? But, as the Rebbe said, very few people who know a language know how to teach that language. I had studied how to do it and, in the end, that served me well there was even a waiting list of students who wanted to enter my class. In loving memory of Leah Feiga Bas Meyer By her children Simcha and Shellee Pollard, Bruce and Jennifer Pollard, Gary and Chris Pollard You can help us record more testimonies by dedicating future editions of Here s My Story I firmly believe that none of that would have been possible if I had not listened to the Rebbe s advice because, truth be told, I didn t want to learn in a girls seminary, where the students educational level was considerably lower than mine. I wanted to go to university and many of my friends were saying to me, You could be a professor what a shame that you should pass up such a chance. So it was hard to make the decision not to go. But I followed the Rebbe s advice because I trusted that he knew what was best for me and for the many people that I was able to help. Mrs. Rochel Leah Presman, a mother of eight, gives Torah classes in Russian and is a teacher at Ulpan Morasha in Jerusalem where she was interviewed in February 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 Rebbe wrote to a Chabad activist who wanted to move his base of operations that such a move would only increase costs. Guiding this individual to control his disproportionately heavy expenses the Rebbe explained, Though my well-known approach, is the opposite of extreme frugality, having an organized budget and spending accordingly is an absolute necessity. Even a wealthy individual, the Rebbe pointed out, must conduct his spending in this way, how much more so a communal worker.1 12 Iyar 1.

9 LA SIDRA DE LA SEMAINE PARACHAT A HAREI - KEDOCHIM AVOT 3 6 MAI IYAR 5777 VIVRE AVEC LA PARACHA A haré Après la mort de Nadav et Avihou, D.ieu donne un avertissement interdisant l entrée non autorisée dans le Saint des Saints. Une seule personne, le Cohen Gadol («le Grand Prêtre») peut, une seule fois dans l année, à Yom Kippour, pénétrer dans la pièce la plus intérieure du Sanctuaire pour y offrir à D.ieu le sacrifice des Ketorèt («encens»). Une des autres caractéristiques du service du Jour du Pardon est le «tirage au sort» exercé sur deux béliers, pour déterminer lequel sera offert à D.ieu et lequel sera envoyé dans le désert, chargé des péchés du Peuple d Israël. La Paracha A haré avertit également contre le fait de n apporter des korbanot (offrandes animales ou alimentaires) nulle part ailleurs que dans le Saint Temple, interdit la consommation du sang et détaille les lois prohibant l inceste et d autres relations déviantes. Kedochim La Paracha Kedochim commence par la déclaration : «Vous serez saints car Moi, l Eternel votre D.ieu, Je suis saint». S ensuivent des dizaines de commandements par l intermédiaire desquels le Juif se sanctifie et se lie à la sainteté de D.ieu. Elles comprennent : l interdiction de l idolâtrie, la Mitsva de la charité, le principe d égalité devant la loi, le Chabbat, la moralité, l honnêteté dans les affaires, l honneur et la crainte de ses parents et le respect de la valeur sacrée de la vie. On peut également lire dans Kedochim la célèbre sentence, qualifiée par le grand Sage, Rabbi Akiba, de principe cardinal de la Torah, et dont Hillel disait : «Voilà toute la Torah, tout le reste n est que commentaire», «Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même». «Malade d amour» Au début de la Paracha A haré nous lisons : «D.ieu dit à Moché après la mort des deux fils d Aharon parle à ton frère Aharon. (Dis-lui qu ) il ne doit pas pénétrer constamment dans le Saint des Saints» Quel enseignement pouvons-nous tirer d une loi qui ne semble s appliquer qu au Grand Prêtre? Dans son explication de la raison pour laquelle l exhortation adressée à Aharon suit immédiatement la mort de ses deux fils, Rachi explique : «Cela est similaire à une personne malade qui reçoit la visite d un médecin. Ce dernier lui ordonne : Ne mange pas d aliments froids et ne dors pas dans un endroit humide. Vient alors un autre (médecin) qui lui enjoint : Ne mange pas d aliments froids et ne dors pas dans un endroit humide, pour ne pas que tu meures, comme l a fait cet autre individu». Le second l a rendu plus attentif que le premier. C est pourquoi le verset précise «après la mort des deux fils d Aharon». Il s agit donc d intimer à Aharon de se conformer au commandement de D.ieu, pour éviter de subir le même sort que ses deux fils lorsqu ils pénétrèrent dans le Saint des Saints, sans y avoir été autorisés. Mais cela demande une explication. Quelqu un de la stature d Aharon aurait compris, sans qu il ne soit nécessaire de le menacer de conséquences aussi terribles. Par ailleurs, pourquoi ce commandement devrait-il être différent de tous ceux qui lui ont été adressés ainsi qu au Peuple juif, où n était évoqué aucun effet dramatique, en cas de désobéissance? La mort de ses deux fils survint en conséquence du fait qu ils «se rapprochèrent tant de D.ieu qu ils en moururent». Bien qu ils aient réalisé qu en se comportant ainsi, ils risquaient de périr, cela ne les empêcha pas d aspirer à atteindre un attachement si grand et une extase si puissante que leur âme quitta littéralement leur corps. En d autres termes, la disparition des deux fils d Aharon n était pas (seulement) une punition. C est également le sens du terme «malade», dans un sens positif, comme l indique le verset : «Je suis malade d amour pour Toi» (D.ieu) (Chir Hachirim 2 :5). Aharon et ses fils étaient «malades d amour» tant ils aspiraient à s approcher de D.ieu. Il s agissait d un amour qui ne pouvait être étanché. Il fut donc nécessaire que non seulement D.ieu empêche Aharon de pénétrer dans le Saint des Saints, chaque fois qu il le désirait mais aussi qu il soit averti des conséquences.

10 LE RECIT DE LA SEMAINE Mes parents n avaient pas été déportés euxmêmes mais avaient perdu tous les membres de leurs familles pendant la Shoah. Ils se rencontrèrent après la guerre, se marièrent à Vienne où je suis né en Mais craignant la résurgence de l antisémitisme, ils émigrèrent aux États-Unis. En 1967, ma mère qui n avait que 42 ans, découvrit qu elle était atteinte d une grave maladie incurable à l époque. Comme j étais plutôt indiscipliné, elle suggéra que je passe une année dans une Yechiva en Israël afin que je me calme. J aurais fait n importe quoi pour ma mère et j acceptai. Je me suis donc retrouvé à Keren BeYavné où j étudiais intensément le Moussar (l éthique, présentée dans les écrits de Rav Eliahou Dessler). Je fus pris en amitié par le directeur de la Yechiva, Rav Haïm Goldvitcht et, par la suite, quand il se rendait aux États-Unis, je me proposais à chaque fois pour devenir son chauffeur personnel. Un jour, en 1969, il me téléphona pour me demander si je pouvais l accompagner à un rendez-vous avec le Rabbi de Loubavitch. «Bien sûr!» répondis-je comme à l accoutumée. «A quelle heure?» continuai-je innocemment. Je dois avouer que quand il répondit : «Deux heures du matin!», j ai ravalé ma salive d étonnement mais, puisque j avais promis, je m exécutai. Quand nous sommes arrivés devant le 770 Eastern Parkway, il entra dans le bureau tandis que je l attendais à l extérieur. Ma mère était de plus en plus malade. Un des médecins proposait de tenter une opération tandis qu un autre préconisait de fortes séances de radiothérapie. Tous deux se montraient très pessimistes. Toute la famille était bouleversée et ni mon père ni ma mère n étaient en mesure de prendre une décision aussi cruciale. Je me dis que je pouvais peutêtre profiter de l entrevue de Rav Goldvitcht pour demander un conseil au Rabbi. Quand mon Rav sortit du bureau, je me faufilai et demandai au Rabbi si je pouvais lui parler moi aussi. Il était 3 heures trente du matin et je pensais qu il répondrait : «Je suis maintenant fatigué, demandez un rendezvous à mon secrétaire!» mais, bien au contraire, il me fit entrer dans son bureau. Je dois préciser que mon père avait déjà demandé une bénédiction à un autre Rabbi hassidique : celui-ci avait recommandé de changer le prénom de ma mère et nous avait donné une liste de Tehilim (Psaumes) à réciter. Je supposais que le Rabbi me donnerait le même genre de directives. Ce ne fut pas le cas. Il commença par me demander comment je m appelais, où j habitais et quelle était la situation médicale exacte de ma mère. Il s avéra qu il connaissait les médecins qui la soignaient et, quand il entendit leurs sombres pronostics, il se montra très en phase avec ma peine et m aida à me préparer au pire. Il ne chercha pas à me consoler en prédisant un miracle éventuel et, justement à cause de son réalisme, il parvint à capturer mon cœur. A ce moment, je réalisai qu il était certainement l homme le plus intelligent sur terre. A la fin de l entrevue, il me demanda : «Je vous en prie! Tenez-moi informé de ce qui va arriver!». Je n avais que dix-huit ans et, du haut de ma Houtspa bien américaine, je rétorquai instinctivement : «Vous me dites cela par politesse? Ou souhaitez-vous réellement entendre de mes nouvelles?». Et il me répondit : «Je ne dirai jamais quelque chose que je ne ressens pas!». En sortant, bien que le Rabbi m ait fait comprendre que je devais me préparer pour le pire, je ne me sentis pas triste. Au contraire : j avais l impression qu un lourd fardeau avait été retiré de mes épaules. Comme si le Rabbi m avait annoncé : «Quoi qu il arrive, cela sera pour le bien!». Le résultat fut que je pus aider ma mère à choisir le traitement qui l aiderait à garder une certaine qualité de vie au lieu de la tourmenter physiquement alors qu il n y avait pas de chance réelle de succès. Elle décida de rejeter les deux options qu on lui avait proposées et de se contenter de soins palliatifs qui lui permirent de vivre au mieux le peu de temps qui lui restait. Elle vécut relativement sereinement deux mois puis tomba dans le coma dont elle ne se réveilla pas. Après son décès, je retournai voir le Rabbi pour discuter d autres problèmes. Je ressentais que je pouvais avoir confiance en lui. Je pouvais lui avouer : «Rabbi! Je suis en crise, je ne crois plus vraiment en D.ieu! J aime le judaïsme, j aime beaucoup certains rituels mais ils ne sont pas partie intégrante de ma vie!». A chaque fois, les réponses du Rabbi étaient absolument profondes et incroyables taillées pour moi sur mesure. (Continued on page 11) 10 MOSAIC EXPRESS

11 (Continued from page 9) D.ieu savait que l amour que lui portait Aharon était si grand qu il voulait sans cesse pénétrer dans le Saint des Saints. Cependant, le laisser faire aurait eu pour résultat que son âme quitte son corps, comme cela s était produit pour ses fils. D.ieu l informa donc de la nécessité de garder son âme dans son corps, pour qu il puisse accomplir sa mission dans le monde : celle de le transformer en résidence pour D.ieu. La leçon que nous pouvons tirer de ce commandement adressé à Aharon est que chaque Juif possède la capacité d aimer D.ieu, et, en fait, est enjoint de le faire, comme l indique le verset : «Tu aimeras D.ieu de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme et de toute ta force» (Devarim 6 :5). Plus encore, chacun a l aptitude de faire grandir son amour au point qu il devienne positivement «malade d amour». Mais chacun doit aussi être mis en garde pour que son âme ne quitte pas son corps et qu il accomplisse sa mission dans ce monde. (Continued from page 10) Un jour, il me demanda : «Gardez-vous la cacherout? Mettez-vous les Téfilines? Respectez-vous le Chabbat?». Je répondis honnêtement : «Non!». Il continua, sans paraître offusqué par ma franchise : «Si je vous demande quelque chose sans condition préalable, me promettrez-vous de l accomplir?». Confiant, je déclarai : «Oui! Vous pouvez me demander ce que vous voulez, je l accomplirai!». Il me regarda droit dans les yeux et demanda : «Accepterez-vous, vous et votre épouse, d allumer les bougies de Chabbat chaque vendredi soir?». J acceptai. Et, à partir de ce jour, nous n avons jamais raté une seule fois l allumage des bougies de Chabbat. Le vendredi soir devint sacrosaint pour toute la famille. Quand nos enfants étaient adolescents, ils ne se rendaient à aucune sortie le vendredi soir. Bien que mon travail au laboratoire pour développer de nouveaux médicaments soit très prenant, j ai toujours réussi à rentrer à l heure à la maison le vendredi soir. Allumer les bougies de Chabbat à l heure requise peut sembler être une Mitsva très simple mais, pour notre famille, ce fut un changement radical. Les repas de Chabbat devinrent spéciaux, ouvrir notre maison pour des invités le Chabbat devint évident et toute l atmosphère devint différente. Pour moi, tel fut le génie du Rabbi : s il m avait demandé de devenir pratiquant à 100 %, j aurais pu essayer mais cela n aurait pas duré. Avec cette unique Mitsva, il a maintenu notre famille dans le chemin du judaïsme et mes filles l ont aussi incorporé pleinement dans leurs vies. Professeur Charles Samuel Ramat Neurotrop BioScience - JEM Traduit par Feiga Lubecki Ce point est à nouveau mis en lumière dans Kedochim, la seconde section de la Torah qu on lit ce Chabbat et qui commence par les mots que D.ieu adresse au Peuple juif, leur disant qu ils doivent être saints car «Moi, l Eternel leur D.ieu, Je suis saint». Ce verset nous informe que la sainteté de chaque Juif doit être d une telle ampleur qu elle en vient à ressembler à celle de D.ieu. C est aussi pourquoi, avant de donner la Torah, D.ieu dit au Peuple juif : «Vous serez pour Moi un royaume de prêtres et une nation sainte». En d autres termes, chacun a la capacité d atteindre le niveau de sainteté d un «Grand Prêtre», ressentant le même amour que celui d Aharon et de ses fils. Plus encore, le potentiel que possède l être humain pour la sanctification est tel qu il peut même être comparé, à un certain niveau, à celui de D.ieu. LE COIN DE LA HALACHA QU EST-CE QUE PESSA H CHÉNI? Le 14 Iyar (cette année mercredi 10 mai 2017) est un jour de «réparation». En effet, la Torah stipule que tout Juif qui n avait pas pu offrir le sacrifice Pascal la veille de Pessa h (donc le 14 Nissan) pouvait le faire un mois plus tard. Le texte (Bamidbar Nombres 9 : 10 et suivants) précise : «Des Juifs qui n avaient pas pu offrir le sacrifice demandèrent : «Pourquoi serions-nous diminués?» Celui qui serait impur au contact d un mort ou qui se trouverait loin (le 14 Nissan) offrira le sacrifice le 14 Iyar au soir». En souvenir de ce commandement, on ne récite pas ce jour-là le Ta hanoun (prières de supplication) et, dans de nombreuses communautés, on mange un peu de Matsa. De cette Mitsva, on apprend d une part qu il ne faut pas hésiter à exiger de D.ieu la possibilité d accomplir une Mitsva («Pourquoi serions-nous diminués?...»). D autre part, Rabbi Yossef Its hak (le précédent Rabbi de Loubavitch) insistait : «Il n existe pas de cause perdue! Même celui qui est impur ou celui qui est «loin» ou qui a délibérément choisi de se trouver «loin» peut réparer ce manque!». On peut toujours rectifier et se rapprocher de D.ieu d une manière ou d une autre. MOSAIC EXPRESS 11

12 HORAIRE DE LA SEMAINE EDITORIAL L AVENIR FRAPPE À LA PORTE! Notre rapport au temps est sans doute très révélateur de ce que nous sommes. Ainsi, on peut voir des hommes qui perçoivent le passé et les événements qu il contient positifs ou négatifs comme des éléments à jamais gravés dans la pierre la plus dure, comme des choses que l on peut oublier mais qui resteront, malgré tout, présentes au plus profond de la conscience et, par conséquent, au cœur des jours à venir. D autres hommes font un choix différent : celui de considérer que le passé se limite à lui-même, qu il est, par nature, enfoui bien loin en arrière et que, par conséquent, il ne peut avoir la moindre influence sur nos décisions futures ou notre vie présente. Faut-il donc vivre avec le passé chevillé à nous ou avec le seul souci de l éphémère? C est une manière de se demander ce qui fait l homme : sa capacité à assumer sa propre histoire ou son aptitude à l oublier? Lorsque le jour de Pessa h Cheni le deuxième Pessa h revient, il nous apporte aussi une réponse. Souvenonsnous : D.ieu avait ordonné de célébrer la fête de Pessa h, d offrir le sacrifice voulu, un événement spirituel essentiel. Et certains n avaient pas pu le faire pour diverses raisons, dont ils étaient euxmêmes souvent responsables. Puis ils vinrent voir Moïse. «Pourquoi cela nous serait-il retiré?» supplièrent-ils. Leur demande était d une sincérité absolue, elle s éleva avec force jusqu au Trône céleste et la réponse retentit : «Ils auront une deuxième chance.» Le deuxième Pessa h un mois après le premier était né. Ce jour, qui tombe dès la semaine prochaine, nous livre ainsi une clé. Le passé existe bien et nous n avons d autre choix que de l assumer mais ses conséquences ne sont jamais inébranlables. Il est, de fait, entre nos mains et nous avons le pouvoir de lui donner un autre sens. Les défaillances ne sont pas irréversibles. Elles peuvent être un nouveau point de départ, comme une base pour une nécessaire reconstruction, plus grande, plus belle, plus solide. Tout cela est vrai pour chacun. L insatisfaction est bien souvent le lot de celui qui choisit la conscience de préférence à l illusion. Le deuxième Pessa h relève que ce sentiment peut et doit être positif. Car il détient une puissance immense. Recommencer, refaire, rectifier, pour un avenir meilleur. A présent, tout est possible. CHABBAT: Talmud et Hala ha h 05 Seu'da Chelichit h 05 MERCREDI La Torah Pratique Joignez nous pour un cours interactive et pratique pour messieurs et dames...20h00 ETINCELLES DE MACHIAH «EN SON TEMPS, JE LE HÂTERAI» Le Talmud (Sanhédrin 98a) enseigne : «Il est écrit (Isaïe 60 : 22) [le Machia h viendra] en son temps, Je le hâterai». Ces deux termes semblent contradictoires. Viendra-t-il quand son époque sera enfin venue «en son temps», ou D.ieu choisira-t-il de rapprocher cet avènement tant attendu «Je le hâterai»? Le Talmud résout cette apparente contradiction : «S ils le méritent, Je le hâterai ; s ils ne le méritent pas, en son temps». Il faut ici relever une idée importante. Le temps de la Délivrance arrivera dans tous les cas. Certes, chacun souhaite que ce soit le plus rapidement possible. Toutefois, même s il était retardé, lorsque le moment arrivera, l impureté, le mal ne pourront que disparaître d eux-mêmes pour laisser place à cette nouvelle et grande lumière. 12 MOSAIC EXPRESS
