WELCOME: A warm welcome to Rabbi Banon s father-in law Reb Levy Yitzhak and his wife visiting from New York, and welcome also to the Rabbi s nephew Shalom, visiting once again.

Our annual passover Bulletin should be finished shortly and will be available to all in house or by mail. YASHIR KOACH to Norm Fogel, Max Stollar and the editorial board for the hard work they put in over the past few weeks, as well as all the proofreaders who took extra time to ensure utmost accuracy, including Dave Apelbaum while on vacation in California. Please note the Delegation of Power of Attorney for the Sale of Chometz attached to tonight s newsletter; it will be repeated for the next 2 weeks as well. Please print it out and fill it in, and hand it in to the Rabbi. If you have no printer, copies will be available in shul. If you have a printer and for whatever reason you can t print it out from the Newsletter, let me know, and I ll send you a copy by email. Also, please note that once again, and as the Rabbi has previously mentioned, Rabbi Banon and Rebbetzin Rochel and their wonderful kinderlach will be hosting the first Seder night B H at their home on Erev Shabbat April 19th. A flyer is attached with all the relevant information. As the flyer indicates - no one will be turned away - but I would imagine space is limited so please advise the Rabbi as soon as possible of your participation. REFUAH SHLEMA: a) A REFUAH SHLEMA to Irving Zwirek, long-time YIC member who has now moved to Miamonides Geriatric Centre in Cote.St. Luc. Irving would very much appreciate our shul members taking the time to visit him as he did for many of us throughout the years. We wish Irving all the best and he is in our thoughts always. And an appropriate YASHIR KOACH to Carmi Levy, Irving s son-in-law who penned some very poingant words and thoughts on Facebook as he visited Irving s new premises.

PARSHAT HASHAVUA - WEEKLY TORAH PORTION The Parshah in a Nutshell TAZRIA Leviticus 12:1 13:59 The Parshah of Tazria continues the discussion of the laws of tumah v taharah, ritual impurity and purity. A woman giving birth should undergo a process of purification, which includes immersing in a mikvah (a naturally gathered pool of water) and bringing offerings to the Holy Temple. All male infants are to be circumcised on the eighth day of life. Tzaraat (often mistranslated as leprosy ) is a supra-natural plague, which also can afflict garments. If white or pink patches appear on a person s skin (dark red or green in garments), a kohen is summoned. Judging by various signs, such as an increase in size of the afflicted area after a seven-day quarantine, the kohen pronounces it tamei (impure) or tahor (pure). A person afflicted with tzaraat must dwell alone outside of the camp (or city) until he is healed. The afflicted area in a garment is removed; if the tzaraat spreads or recurs, the entire garment must be burned.
