2 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 2 THREE WEEKS The Kehilla, and Klal Yisroel, once again unfortunately experienced the days of 17 Tamuz through 9 Av as the Bein HaMetzorim, as opposed to the Moadim Tovim which we await. The somber mood of the Three Weeks was perceptible in the davening, through the melodies of Birkas Yerushalayim, the ends of Brochos, HaShem Elokei Yisroel, Shomer Yisroel, Keil Erech Apayim and, on Shabbosos, in Lecho Dodi. Likewise, the daily Divrei Halocho were devoted to timely laws. On Wednesday, July 26/3 Av, Rav Mantel spoke on Inyanei Tisha B Av. The Rav focused on one aspect of the loss and lack we experience in our own lives, as a result of the Churban HaBayis: As Chazal state, from the time of the Churban and the cessation of the Korbonos onwards, Nital Taam HaPeiros, etc. Referring to explanations of the Chovos HaLevovos, the Seforno and the Maharal, the Rav illustrated how when Gashmiyus is not infused with Ruchniyus, its quality diminishes resulting in an ever more increasing desire for quantity therein, as a poor substitution, something we see as never before in our days, and against which we must work. TISHA B AV Tisha B Av was observed in somber fashion in a darkened Beis HaKnesses. Chazon Lasdun davened Maariv and Chazon Ezra Hes led the Tzibbur in the reading of Megillas Eicho on Leil Tisha B Av. Rav Mantel recited the special Kinno composed by Rav Schwab. Written at Rav Breuer s request, this Kinno commemorates the Kedoshim of the Churban HoAcharon, the Holocaust, and has not only become a part of our Kehilla s Tisha B Av service, but in those of many other communities as well. Chazon Lasdun led the davening of Tisha B Av morning, and Chazon Hes joined him in the saying of Kinnos. In the afternoon, our Kehilla hosted the local presentation of the annual Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation video. Our thanks go to Rabbi and Mrs. Raphael and Julia Weis, assisted by Mrs. Draizel Strauss, for organizing this most appropriate event in our Kehilla, as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Yosef and Sari Levi for arranging the showing of the CCHF s children s video presentation, earlier in the afternoon. CHODESH ELUL For Kehillla members, and all who daven in our Beis HaKnesses, the approach of the Yomim Noroim has been felt in increasingly perceptible ways, beginning from Shabbos Nachamu, with the insertion of the appropriate melodies at the end of the Friday night Kaddish, and the entire concluding Shabbos Musaf Kaddish; with the arrival of Chodesh Elul, Lefonnov Naavod was sung on Friday nights. Likewise, for the morning Divrei Halocho, Rav Mantel has continued learning the Orchos Chaim from where he had left off last year. The Rav will IYH deliver his annual Yomim Noroim lecture to the Sisterhood on Wednesday evening, September 13/23 Elul. Thanks go to Messrs. Ben Ettlinger, Jacob Lowenthal and Gavriel Strauss, Rabbi Kalman Strauss, and Rabbi Yisrael Strauss who provide the Kehilla with a twicedaily wake up call, by their Shofar blowing. DAF YOMI SIYUM ON MASSECHES BOVO BASRO מסכת On Sunday, July 16/23 Tammuz, the Kehilla s Daf Yomi Chaburos celebrated their having concluded a day early. At the siyum, held in a classroom below the Shul, Mr. Alan Ettlinger introduced,בבא בתרא Rabbi Dr. Johny Hellmann, who was mesayeim the Masechta. Mr. Ettlinger also noted that two longtime members of the Daf Yomi Chabura Mr. Eugene Goldman and Mr. Samuel Taub z.l. were niftar

3 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 3 during the months the Chaburos had been learning the Masechta. Rabbi Elchonon Stern began the next Masechta, Sanhedrin, after which Rav Mantel spoke. The Rav Mantel recounted a Devar Torah that he heard at a siyum on Bava Basra (culminating a four year learning program, not a 175 day Daf Yomi one!).בראשית ברא אלוקים of ראשי תיבות (a gate) are the בבא in Belgium over 50 years ago. The 3 letters of Furthermore, transposing the letters of בבא via the א''ת ב''ש method (i.e. the first letter of the Aleph- Beis with the last, etc.) yields the word ששת which, besides for the ימי בראשית,ששת also alludes to the Gemara. Thus the three Bavos are the gates to the entire Mishnayos and.ששה סדרי משנה YESHIVA BEIS MEDRASH YESHURUN The Yeshiva had a successful, as well as enjoyable, summer Zman up in Tannersville, NY. The Yeshiva has now begun the Elul Zman, back in Washington Heights, and IYH together with the Kollel, Mesivta and other departments of our Yeshiva looks forward to productive and inspiring months ahead, under the direction of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Yehoshua Rubanowitz. Pictured below, the Beis Medrash in Elul, alive again with the Kol Torah of Rav Rubanowitz, Rabbi Yisrael Stein, and the Bochurim. RABBI AVROHOM FARBER The Kehilla/Yeshiva community was deeply saddened by the petira, this past summer, of Rabbi Avrohom Farber.ז''ל Rabbi Farber, a master mechanech, taught in our pre-mesivta and Mesivta for 40 years and retained the love, respect and devotion of countless talmidim, as most recently witnessed at the Annual Dinner in 2011 when he received both the Keser Torah Award and the grateful adulation of scores of alumni who attended the event. In addition to being an outstanding Talmid Chochom, Rabbi Farber had a unique way of connecting to a broad range of students. He was famous for announcing on the first day of class, "If anyone did not eat

4 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 4 breakfast or forgot lunch, I will buy it for you." He took his students on skiing trips, housed them in his home in Tannersville, and took a personal interest in them which lasted well beyond their graduation from our Yeshiva. Many students became his friends and some even conceded that they remained frum solely due to Rabbi Farber's influence on them. Not only was Rabbi Farber a remarkable rebbe, he was an accomplished Baal Tefilla and Baal Menagen. Together with his wife, Esther,תבלח''ט he established and headed a day camp in Tannersville, NY known as Camp Sharon, which also became an extension of his talents as a rebbe and guide. In his enthusiasm and love for children, he had a unique way of achieving a sense of Achdus amongst campers who came from different walks of Jewish life. יהי זכרו ברוך AHAVAS YISRAEL PAR EXCELLENCE Not content with merely the tremendous Harbotzas HaTorah and Gemilus Chasodim he does on a daily basis as a rebbi, teacher and Rabbi, this summer Rabbi Avrohom Hoffman undertook another, very extraordinary, act of Chessed, and donated a kidney. BH, the recipient as well as Rabbi Hoffman are doing well.

5 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 5 SISTERHOOD LECTURE The Rambam's Shemona Perokim, serve as an introduction to Pirkei Avos, a Masechta of the Mishna s Seder Nezikin dealing with character refinement and the development of ethical behavior. On Tuesday, June 6/13 Sivan, Mrs. Sara Wiederblank, who teaches Limudei Kodesh to high school girls and lectures widely to adult women, gave the Sisterhood a fascinating lecture on this important work. (Mrs. Wiederblank is also a proud YRSRH parent and former YRSRH Beth Jacob high school teacher.) After identifying different levels of the Neshomo, Mrs. Wiederblank explained how the Rambam compares being physically sick with being sick in the Nefesh. Bad Midos (character traits) are manifestations of something sick in the spiritual realm akin to fever letting a person know that there is physical sickness in the body. Similarly, just as a person goes to a doctor to learn what to do in order to heal his/her body from its illness, a person with a sick Nefesh also needs to go to a professional, to a chacham or a Rav, in order to learn what steps to take so that they can learn how to rid themselves of their negative traits.

6 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 6 The metaphor of physical health extends to the concept of moderation. The Rambam advises that in all corporal things one must not have too much or too little. Likewise, Midos are on a continuum and we should strive for the middle road in all attributes (except for anger and pride). A person should use his free will to make choices about his behavior. If, after introspection, he finds that in some areas he leans too much to one extreme he should bend his nature and adjust his behavior to the other extreme in order to achieve the middle ground. There are two types of individuals, and chachomim have debated about which type is greater: The me'uleh, the person who is naturally righteous, or the moshel berucho, one who is victorious at conquering his inner inclination. The Rambam posits that the latter individual is greater, as proved by the fact that the Torah is full of Mitzvos which help us to work on and perfect our midos and address the areas where we are likely to struggle. It is not typical human nature to be a me uleh, born with little or no flaws. The spring/summer months, during which Pirkei Avos is read, is a perfect time to delve into the topic of personal growth and trying to reach higher. Mrs. Wiederblank gave us so much to think about and we thank her for her inspiring words. SENIOR SOCIAL CLUB TRIPS Gulliver s Gate A group of close to 70, including a number of youngsters, joined the Senior Social Club on a trip to Gulliver s Gate, a new exhibit in midtown Manhattan featuring the entire world in miniature. The pyramids, London Bridge, Red Square, Tiananmen Square, the Eiffel Tower, famous NYC buildings and more were all masterfully represented. A relatively large Israel section was featured as well, complete with the Aron HaKodesh buried underground. No one could accuse the exhibit of being staid. Aside from the visual architectural feast, trains, boats, and more moved about, livening the exhibit. Some of these vehicles moved at the command of electronic keys provided to every guest. And those really adventurous could take 3D photos of themselves which Gulliver s Gate, for a fee, would transform into tiny humans and place among the streets and scenes of its world.

7 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 7 Trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls By Mrs. Judy Fulda Dear Diary, Having never gone on an overnight trip before with the Senior Social Club of KAJ I really wonder how everything will turn out. The itinerary looks great: varied, non-stop and interesting. Mrs. Molly Resnick, the director of the program, chose attractions and sites that I would've chosen myself. I hope the people will be congenial and that everything goes as planned. Aug. 20, 2017/10:30 PM Dear Diary, Wow! What a great first day! Alex, our bus driver, is quite an accommodating, personable fellow, which is pretty important considering how much time we'll be spending with him. There are a few young women assisting Molly which makes things more efficient. We have a nice mix of people within a wide age range from different communities besides the core group from Washington Heights; I have a good feeling about all of us getting along. The first stop at the Corning Museum of Glass broke up the long ride. We saw the most beautiful glassware made by Tiffany and other artists as well as a live glass-blowing demonstration (pictured below). Crossing the border went seamlessly. When we arrived at the Four Points hotel by Sheraton we were already exhausted but an IMAX film awaited us. After Maariv, many opted to walk the few blocks to see a view of the Falls all lit up. Absolutely gorgeous!

8 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 8 Today, the food in the morning came a little late and the food in the evening came a little late. The room designated for Mincha needed to be changed. You learn quickly not to sweat the small stuff and to go with the flow. Somehow, Molly managed to get everything to work out. Aug. 21, 2017/10:20 PM Dear Diary, Our hotel is so perfectly situated-right across the street from the Chabad of Niagara where Shacharis and breakfast will take place today and tomorrow. We get an early start (Shacharis at 6:45) so that we can pack in a full day's worth of touring, beginning with a ride on the iconic Hornblower (similar to The Maid of the Mist which operates from the New York side of the Falls). The rain ponchos provided barely kept us dry as we took a thrilling ride beside the Horseshoe Falls. The grandeur and sheer power of the Falls cannot be described adequately. Ma Rabbu Maasecho Hashem! The next stop was at the CN Tower in Toronto. Molly had arranged for a tour guide to meet us there and he stayed with us for the rest of the day, pointing out interesting things along the way and telling

9 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 9 us about the history of the city and about Jewish Ontario. The solar eclipse was partially visible in Toronto at the time of our lunch stop at the boardwalk. Those who had the special eclipse glasses shared them so that everyone could experience this historic moment. We then toured some very interesting shuls in Toronto. At Anshei Minsk, in the downtown area, Rabbi Shmuel Spero gave a very fascinating talk about his unique congregation. The Sephardic Kehila Centre/Abir Yaakov has the most magnificent mosaic fountain in the lobby, donated by the government of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco! (Another gentleman named Mohammed, who also had fond feelings for Jews, met Molly during the trip and gave her a $100 donation for her son's outreach work! Amazing, no?!). A Mincha minyan was arranged for the tour at the Chabad of Flamingo (located on Flamingo Road). Rabbi Mendy Kaplan kept us all spellbound when he spoke of the challenges he had in acquiring the building and creating relationships with the unaffiliated Jews in the area. Of particular interest was Rabbi Kaplan's description of the immense thought and planning that went into designing an edifice that would be inviting to all members. Our final stop in Toronto was at the Ba-Li Laffa restaurant on Bathurst Street. After dining on delectable Middle Eastern grill-type cuisine we boarded the bus for our trip back to Niagara where fireworks at The Falls awaited us. Aug. 22, 2017/Rosh Chodesh Elul/11:00 PM Dear Diary, After an earlier Shacharis (the men really started their day early, at 6:30!), another busy day began. Our final stop in Niagara was the Skylon Tower. We took an elevator that climbed up 114 stories on the outside of the building! The aerial view was truly spectacular. The bus arrived sometime later at Watkins Glen in New York's Finger Lake region where an hour-long boat ride was enjoyed on Seneca Lake with Mincha on the boat. Scenic Watkins Glen also has a spectacular waterfall which is worthwhile to see. When Alex found a serene and comfortable rest stop for the dinner break I could feel a certain melancholy within the group that this was the last activity we would do together. There was a lovely sense of camaraderie that had developed. After a delicious fried-chicken dinner, there was pressure to make it to Washington Heights in time for the 9 o'clock Maariv. What a round of applause for the bus driver (and for the Driver behind it all) when Alex pulled up to Dombrow shul just before 9 PM! I am absolutely exhausted! Exhilarated, but exhausted. Molly pulled it off again! So many things to organize. So many details. So many instances of having to think outside the box. But, we all had a really great time which we will long remember. Now I need to sleep! SUMMER AT MORIAH SENIOR CENTER Seniors enjoyed an informative and fun-filled summer as Moriah cranked up its education and recreation programming to its highest level. Extra wellness programming included an evidence based, eight week Matter of Balance fall-prevention workshop, a health fair which included both glaucoma and dental screenings and much more, a Body Mechanics occupational therapy seminar and a Healthy Aging seminar.

10 Vol. 48, No. 1 KAJ NEWSLETTER Page 10 On the technology front, Moriah seniors received two special Tech Topics lectures - one on internet safety and avoiding scams and the other on smartphones.

ZACK S SHOE REPAIR Located on 181 st, just west of Pinehurst Avenue, Zack s Shoe Repair shop has a Mezuza on its door, and is owned by Zack, who is a Yehudi. When Mr. Jacob Lowenthal, who has patronized his shop several times, suggested to Zack he close his shop for Shabbos, noting it would help his business as he would gain more Kehilla members as customers, Zack replied that he would have to think it over. Zack has now, before Rosh HaShana decided to close for Shabbos. Zack used to work in the shoe repair store at Bennett Avenue and 181 st Street, and opened his own shop a few years ago. He does quality work, and we join Mr. Lowenthal in urging Kehilla members to patronize this store, as the owner experiences the Nisayon and, it is to be hoped, the Brocha and rewarding feeling of Shemiras Shabbos.
