4 Our Thanks & Appreciation to Dr. Scott Adler Over the past number of months and through some of the most complicated times of the Jewish year, our Shul has had the pleasure of having our member, Dr. Scott Adler assume the role of Gabbai. His leadership, hard work and commitment to making the services, various minyanim and every aspect of the Shul s rituals run effectively and correctly. This certainly one of the major reasons that our year and the holiday season we just concluded ran so well. For personal reasons, Dr. Adler is stepping down from his role as Gabbai. His contribution, in this manner will be missed. However, we should expect his involvement in other areas of the Shul in the immediate future. The leadership of the Shul and I want to thank Dr. Adler for his hard work, talents and commitment to his role as Gabbai and look forward to further working with him in other capacities. As of this Shabbat, the role of Gabbai will be assumed by Jonathan Sherrington. Jonathan has a lot of wonderful ideas to add to his role of Gabbai and we are sure that his leadership in this area will continue to make our Shul run in the wonderful and halachically appropriate way that we all desire. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Adler for a job well done and our anticipation for continued success and growth under the leadership of Jonathan Sherrington.

5 Sholosh Seudot You Gotta be Kiddin Me Halacha Discussion Once there was a shul in which the various honours and aliyos were auctioned off to the highest bidder. It was Parsha Toldos, and the congregants prepared for a bidding war over the sixth aliyah, in which Yitzchak Avinu blesses Yaakov, May Hashem grant you from the dew of the heavens and the fatness of the earth. People wanted to be called up for this berachah and were willing to pay a high price for it. The bidding began and quickly proceeded, with several bidders raising the price from fifty dollars to a hundred, then two, three and four hundred dollars. When it hit that price, most bidders backed down. The price war was left to two competitors, one of whom Shimon, a wealthy businessman, and the other was none other than a voice from the women s section. The price continued to rise until finally, when it reached a thousand dollars, Shimon had enough of the contest. He signaled the Gabbai to spike the price up to $1500. There was silence from the women s section. Going once, going twice, sold for $1500! called the gabbai, and Shimon won the aliyah. After davening, he went home with a smile of satisfaction. Did someone honour you with an aliyah? his wife asked him when he got home. I honoured myself, he said. I spent $1500 for that aliyah, after a price war with some lady from the women s section. That was no lady. That was me, answered his wife. It turned out that the two competitors were none other than a husband and his own wife. She had been embarrassed to call out from the women s section herself, so she asked her friend to do it for her. Otherwise, he would have recognized her voice and stopped bidding. Afterwards, the husband asked if he was really obligated to pay the full $1500 at which the bidding finished. His bid for $1500 was based on mistaken presumption that someone else was bidding against him. Had they known that they were both bidding on his behalf, they could have finished the bidding at $400, where the last competitor dropped off. What is the answer?
