Mazal Tov: This month marks 50 years that Simmy and Beryl Grabina became members of the YIC. Being a young couple, they started off in the auxiliary service downstairs, not being able to afford the upstairs fee, but nevertheless, they felt right at home. Their son was Bar-Mitzvahed in 1989 with Rabbi Spiro. Today, Simmy can always be counted on for a Minyan, and is a regular Minyannaire every Monday morning. If he is not in Ottawa with his own family, then every Shabbat he is in shul with his YIC family, and is also a regular at the Rabbi s classes. Today, 50 years later, the YIC is still their second home. On a personal note, Beryl adds... the shul looks beautiful the people involved in turning a cold unwelcoming room into a warm sanctuary are to be commended. congratulations on a job well done. CONGRATULATIONS and MAZAL TOV to the Grabinas, and our wishes go out for both of them to be healthy, and enjoy our shul for many many years to come.

PARSHAT HASHAVUA - WEEKLY TORAH PORTION The Parshah in a Nutshell Parshat Ha Azinu Deuteronomy 32:1 52 The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu ( Listen In ) consists of a 70-line song delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life. Calling heaven and earth as witnesses, Moses exhorts the people, Remember the days of old / Consider the years of many generations / Ask your father, and he will recount it to you / Your elders, and they will tell you how G d found them in a desert land, made them a people, chose them as His own, and bequeathed them a bountiful land. The song also warns against the pitfalls of plenty Yeshurun grew fat and kicked / You have grown fat, thick and rotund / He forsook G d who made him / And spurned the Rock of his salvation and the terrible calamities that would result, which Moses describes as G d hiding His face. Yet in the end, he promises, G d will avenge the blood of His servants, and be reconciled with His people and land. The Parshah concludes with G d s instruction to Moses to ascend the summit of Mount Nebo, from which he will behold the Promised Land before dying on the mountain. For you shall see the land opposite you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the children of Israel.
