1 CBT Nu'z Av-Elul 5775, August 2015 ~ Congregation B nai Torah, Olympia, WA, USA Exhalations from the Ex-President W e are currently (as I write this) in the last of the five books of Moses, Deuteronomy or, in Hebrew, Devarim. This book is always started the last Shabbat before the fast of Tishe b Av. It is Moses's repetition of the laws given on Sinai as well as the repetition of the history of the Exodus and the time spent traveling to the Promised Land. In this book, which was spoken to the generation about to enter the land of Israel, there is a statement that we should not add or subtract laws in history from our Torah. Yet this document has to serve for all time. The Conditions certainly have varied since we stood at the borders of Eretz Yisroel. The problem has always been for Jews to remain true to our spiritual heritage while living in the physical world. Ascetics get around this by simply withdrawing from the physical world while hedonists take the opposite tract and simply avoid the spiritual. We are not so lucky. These are the words that we have to live by-we must adapt our physical life so as not to obliterate our spiritual life. In Talmudic terms this is a "kashya", a thorny problem. One example would be the sacrificial rites practiced in our Temples, both of which were destroyed on 9 of Av. Some people see it as horrible animal cruelty which they cannot abide. In fact, the Conservative siddur, Sim Shalom, includes paragraphs to be substituted in our traditional prayers for
2 those mentioning the sacrifices. Others point out that we do eat meat and even most vegetarians wear leather shoes and belts. Furthermore the Jewish laws of slaughter take into account and minimize animal suffering. The sacrifices for the most part were eaten with only a few parts being completely consumed by fire. This burning of the flesh of animals is commanded as making a "pleasurable aroma for God". Does God need perfume? It seems nonsensical. Normally we think of sacrifices as giving up something valuable to us in order to achieve a better or higher or more profitable goal. In chess we would sacrifice a pawn in order to capture the Queen. We sell stock at a loss in order to get cash to buy a more valuable property. In ancient times pagans sacrificed their children to get a favorable heavenly assist. We Jews on the other hand, have a barbecue with God getting only the smell! Let's analyze this a bit. The smell is actually an omen of things to come. Taste, we find, is predicated on our sense of smell. I can remember the old schoolroom experiments when we would plug up somebody's nose and have them bite either into an onion or an apple and see if they could tell the difference. We talk of the smell of rain or of fear or of victory. The smell precedes the actuality. So it is with God. We offer the smell of pleasantness, the forerunner of the pleasantness of good deeds, of doing the mitzvot. This is how we combine the physical with the spiritual, by promising with the material the actualizing of the spiritual. Len Albert
