Tammuz/Av/Elul 5769
“Not so” said the Rebbe. “You see, every person is destined to experience some
adversity. You were fulfilling your quota of unpleasantries through a piece of crystal
falling and breaking. When this was no longer possible you opened the door for
adversity in other forms. So put away the silver goblets and let your ‘tzoros’ be no
more than a broken goblet.”
A dish or a glass breaks and we automatically shout,
MAZEL TOV. Before the Chupah, after signing the
Tenaim and/or the Ketuba, the mothers of the
Chattan and Kallah break a plate and we all shout
MAZEL TOV. Under the Chupah, at the end of the
Ceremony, a glass is broken and we all shout
MAZEL TOV.
Strange happenings! We smash up stuff and
seemingly celebrate. We shout out MAZEL TOV
when we should be filing an insurance claim for
damages. As strange as it might appear, we cherish
this tradition and rightly so.
Why? A bit of an illustration. A Chassid was
experiencing a reversal of his good fortune. He had
been blessed with much material wealth and he had
been most generous in sharing his good fortune with
others. Now he felt it slipping away and could not
understand his stroke of bad luck.
And so he went to see his Rebbe to gain insight into
his dilemma. The Rebbe listened intently and asked
if the Chassid had changed anything in his lifestyle.
The Chassid quickly answered that he remained
committed to Shabbat, Kashrut, daily Torah study
and acts of Gemilat Chesed, the whole nine yards of
Jewish practice, no different today than in past years
and maybe even better, a true puzzle!
The Rabbi complimented the Chassid but asked
again about recent physical changes in his daily or
family life. The Chassid laughed and said: “A silly
thing. I really never gave it too much thought. I had
an expensive crystal set of glasses. I would get very
upset when they would get chipped or dropped, so I
bought some beautiful and rather expensive silver
goblets so if they are dropped, they don’t break or
chip. It was a great solution”.
Thus, we wish the Chattan and Kallah MAZEL TOV, that whatever adversity might
have been programmed their way was fulfilled through the breaking of the glass, at
a Simcha or other gatherings at home or away. Yes the reality is evil lurks and so
from out of nowhere a dish or glass breaks. So we can breathe a sigh of relief that
we were spared and that the intended evil befell an inanimate object. Those objects
can be replaced, not so human life and our well being.
This notion seems almost too silly to believe but be that as it may, there is a wider
and wiser lesson to be learned. It’s often the small things in life that irritate us
because they appear so senseless and unnecessary. The traffic jam that delays me;
our kids scraping a knee or breaking a toy; the krechtz or ache we sometimes feel
that gives us some pain; the anxious moments our kids give us especially around
exam and report card time; these are just some of the things that cause us grief.
When faced with this kind of “small stuff”, remember it is, instead of, and be grateful
that you have the children for whom you worry and put on the assorted ‘band aids’
and the car and job or appointment to go to and the gift of life which is tested from
time to time with some aches and pains. It is a reminder of the potential of more
severe stuff out there, from which we will be hopefully protected and safeguarded.
While minor adversity is a safeguard from more severe penalty, I would suggest
that, on the other hand, positive actions, even on the smallest level, can be the
springboard for even greater success. Summer affords us the time and atmosphere
to implement some positive family Jewish experiences which can only lead to
greater growth and satisfaction. Our children are around, camp or no camp, and we
can spend some quality time with them uninterrupted. Maybe a game or two less of
golf or tennis with the ‘guys’ or ‘girls’, would create the momentum for greater and
longer lasting family experiences. Could you imagine, ‘mom or dad gave up a golf
game to play catch or go cycling or walking or just talking with me’.
Small stuff: Helping the Friday night or any night or for that matter any morning’s
Minyan; father/son Tallit and Tefillin on a Sunday morning in Shul; a Shabbat
morning Shul excursion especially with the shorter summer Shul hours; taking an
older relative or friend out for a summer treat. Small stuff, with great immediate
reward, which will undoubtedly lead to even greater goals and accomplishments.
So, feeling sorry about yourself and your situation? Break a few glasses and a dish
or two for good measure. Get it out of your system and move forward to fill the void
with lots of good stuff just waiting to be accomplished. Have a safe and enjoyable
summer.
Dr. Mordecai E. Zeitz, Rabbi

THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
I want to thank all of you, the
membership of CBTASNH for your
support and involvement this year. As
I start my second term of office as
president I feel more committed than
ever to make our synagogue more
user friendly. We as members must
welcome the different individuals who
come through our doors. Whether it be
on a Shabbat, at a Simcha, dropping
kids off for a Youth program, or
attending a school function, it is up
to each of us to say hello and greet
people with an outreached hand and
a smile. That is what we are
about!! This is what sets us apart and
makes our corner of D.D.O. the
best!! For 45 years our community has
stood strong and been at the centre
of Jewish life on the West Island.
You have all made this community a
wonderful place. With your ongoing
support, involvement and friendship we
will continue to pass the torch to the
next generation, and will grow as a
vibrant Jewish community for years to
come.
On June 9th we had our Annual General
Meeting. I want to congratulate the
nominating committee for doing a
stellar job in establishing the slate for
2009/2010.
The dynamic duo who co-chaired this Nominating Committee
was none other than our V.P. Stanley Sculnick and our
Executive Trustee par excellence Jamie Goren. A daunting task
but with their leadership and the involvement of Linda Mestel,
Gerry Spevack, and Danny Baum, they have added many
new members to the board and kept our slate strong with
experienced Executive and Board members who can mentor this
young leadership.
At the AGM we presented three special awards. Our Raffle
Chairperson Stephen Belfer was most deserving of Rookie of
the Year. Jamie Goren who had his hand everywhere this
year took home the honor of Most Dedicated Member. Brissa
Berkovits with her passion and deep love and appreciation for
our synagogue was awarded the Member of the Year
honor. Yasher Koach to you for your outstanding work and
commitment to CBTASNH.
Thank you to Sisterhood for your ongoing programming
and support of our Shul. Through your events this year you
have managed to raise $4,000 to refurbish the CBTASNH
kitchen with new cutlery and dishes. This Tzedakah is
wonderful. Many thanks to the committed woman whose unity
benefits us all. Thank you Dr Marlene Stotland Cohen for your
foresight and leadership.
We look forward to seeing you at our Annual Labor Day
Picnic Monday, September 7th at Centennial Park at 4:00
pm. Come by with your entire family. Bring new friends, and
enjoy the day of schmooze, food, fun and games.
I wish the Rabbi and Charlotte a safe and relaxing trip to Eretz
Israel. May you enjoy your time in Israel with your family and
friends.
May everybody have a splendid summer, safe travels, and I
look forward to seeing you in the early fall.
Mark Rosenstein

July/August 2009
Tammuz/Av/Elul 5769
JULY 9TH – SHIVA – ASAR B’TAMUZ – Start of the three weeks
The seventeenth day of Tamuz is observed as a Fast day commemorating the breaking down of the wall of
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnessar and the cessation of Temple worship during the siege of Titus. It ushers in the
three weeks of mourning which ends with Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the ninth of Av. The Fast is observed Thursday,
July 9th from 3:29 AM to 9:21 PM. Morning Services at 6:30 AM and Mincha Services at 8:40 PM.
THE NINE DAYS
The three weeks conclude with the “Nine Days”, from the first of Av, July 22nd – July 30th during which the
mourning is intensified to the point of refraining from eating meat and drinking wine, except on Shabbat.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY - TISHA B'AV - FAST DAY – JULY 29TH – 30TH
The Fast of the ninth day of Av marks the destruction of the first Temple of Jerusalem by the Babylonians
(586BCE) and also of the second Temple by the Romans (70CE). To commemorate the destruction of the two
Temples, our Rabbis ordered the ninth day of Av to be a day of mourning and fasting. On Tisha B'Av, passages
from Lamentation are read in the synagogue and special memorial candles are lit. At the morning Services
neither Tallis nor Tefillin are worn, to show our deep sense of mourning; instead, they are put on in the afternoon.
Shoes are removed and congregants seat themselves in low chairs or benches, just as one does in a period of
mourning. The Fast begins on Wednesday at 8:28 PM, with Mincha at 8:30 PM to be followed by Ma'ariv and we
will begin the recitation of Aicha on Thursday, July 20th – Morning Services at 6:30 AM / Mincha Services 8:15 PM
with the Fast ending on Thursday night at 9:04 PM.
TORAH ON THE GREEN
Our unique and popular Torah On The Green program is again ongoing. This program combined with Seudah
Shlishit will continue the next 2 months. It is a very special experience with learning and discussing “On The
Green” and then socializing over the traditional third Shabbat meal. The dates are July 4th on the lawn of
Charlotte and Rabbi Zeitz at 91 Manuel Drive at 6:30 PM and August 22nd on the lawn of Roselyn Blacker, 91
Roger Pilon at 5:30 PM. Join us and bring your friends.

YIZKOR BOOK
YIZKOR – MEMORY – IS ONE OF OUR MOST CHERISHED TRADITIONS.
We enjoy remembering the Smachot – the joyous occasions, but, as well, we dedicate time to remember those who are no longer present to
celebrate with us. On Yom Kippur, during the YIZKOR Service, we join with Jews throughout the world to remember our loved ones.
Once again this year, we are preparing a YIZKOR – BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE – which will be distributed to our members that day.
This book will contain the prayers recited in our synagogue and the names of the deceased in whose memories contributions have been made.
This Book of Remembrance will be used at Yizkor Services throughout the year and will remain with you as a continuing personal memorial
honoring your loved ones.
If you wish to include the names of your departed loved ones in our 2009 Yizkor Book of Remembrance, please complete the form below and
return it to the synagogue office no later than Friday August 14, 2009. We are asking that you include a minimum donation of $ 18.00 per
name.
We encourage you to be a part of this important publication. The proceeds from this campaign will be used for appropriate synagogue
projects.
The Day of Atonement is our traditional time for reflection and remembrance. It is our hope that through the publication of our Book of
Remembrance we can contribute to this day being meaningful and beautiful for you and your family.
Yours truly,

NU, SO WHAT’S NEW IN ISRAEL?
Welcome to the column. Its purpose is to share information about life in Israel behind the emotional newspaper headlines. Enjoy!!!!
So, nu? ….what’s doing ….
IN ISRAEL’S ROLE IN THE NEXT PANDEMIC THREAT?
How do you stop a virus like swine flu from sweeping the world? Well you could start at the airport. An Israeli company claims that
this is a real possibility with its heat sensor technology that can detect fever in passengers travelling through an airport, a train station
or other transportation hubs. Opgal Optronics Industries Fever Detection and Alarm System (FDA), can pinpoint people in a crowd
that are suffering from elevated temperatures. The first model of the product was brought to market during the global SARS epidemic,
in 2003 and it later found a niche market among Asian customers a couple of years ago when Avian flu became a widespread
problem there. The Karmiel-based company believes it's the perfect tool to halt the spread of swine flu or other pandemics that might
threaten the world's health. The FDA is an infrared thermal imaging device that can sense the temperature of the body and face in
real time and can sense within a half degree centigrade if someone is suffering from a fever, says company CEO Dror Sharon. If it
detects a person with a fever, an alarm will sound and security officials can pull that person aside for further questioning or a swab,
This non-invasive system, which costs about $10-15,000 per system, can be immediately deployed since it does not require any
special infrastructure.
Now…. imagine if you could get one flu shot that would last for three to five years, and protect you from all the different strains of flu
around the world? That's exactly what Israeli company BiondVax Pharmaceuticals is developing. Unlike current flu vaccines which
can only protect people from a few strains of the virus every year, BiondVax is developing a universal flu vaccine that could be
effective against almost any type of flu, from the regular seasonal ones, to avian flu, and even pandemic flu viruses like swine flu.
The Ness Ziona based company is now poised to begin clinical trials of the vaccine in a Tel Aviv hospital.
NU…IS IT TRUE?....BARBIE IS JEWISH????
For 50 years, girls the world over have dressed and undressed their Barbie dolls. They've sent her on dates with the faithful, if slightly
dull Ken - or with the hunky GI Joe if she's lucky - and they've seen her "work" as a presidential candidate/pediatrician/UNICEF
ambassador or any of the more than 100 careers she's had. Along with arranging and rearranging Barbie's dream house, and dream
life, these same girls have also used the doll to play out their childhood dreams and adolescent fantasies. Had Barbie's creator
listened to her husband, however, this iconic plaything might never have been born. "Ruth," Elliot Handler told his wife, "no mother is
ever going to buy her daughter a doll with breasts." Fortunately, Ruth Handler disregarded his advice and embarked on the project
that would change her life forever - for better and for worse. For Handler, breasts - and the lack of them - were pivotal in her building
two successful careers. The first was as president of Mattel, which she and her husband founded, at a time when most women
tended only to run their homes. The second came in the 1970s when Handler established Ruthton to manufacture the Nearly Me
prosthetics for women who, like herself, had undergone mastectomies. As she said, "I've come full cycle from the first doll with a real
breast to answering a real woman's need for a fake breast." Robin Gerber's book Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World's Most
Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her chronicles the rise of Handler as she broke through the boundaries of corporate
America and took on - and beat - the big boys with her uber-feminine doll and her innovative marketing and business ideas. Gerber
also details Handler's fall, including her ousting from Mattel and her criminal trial for financial irregularities at the behemoth toy firm.
The biographer also chronicles the unforeseen personal tragedy that would strike the Handler family. And guess what…….Ruth’s
daughter’s name? ………..BARBARA
Barbie’s “Mom”
I hope you have enjoyed our “conversation” and invite your suggestions, comments, corrections, etc.
Until our next issue, be well and soon we’ll schmooze more!

UN MOT EN FRANÇAIS
Le lachon hara
Le lachon hara est considéré comme une faute importante car, à la différence d'un autre péché, le mal fait par la
langue ne peut être réparé. Il s’agit de l'expression du mal absolu, une faute plus importante encore que les trois
fautes que la Torah considère comme capitales, le meurtre, l'idolâtrie et la débauche. Le Maharal affirme qu'il n'y
a pas de pardon divin possible ni de place dans le monde futur pour celui qui s'en rend coupable. Pour lui, le
lachon hara équivaut à ne pas reconnaître l'existence de Dieu. Le lachon hara a la faculté de diviser les gens. Une
personne grandit son ego sur le compte de son ami, celui qui écoute le lachon hara s’associe à cette personne.
Maïmonide énumère cinq sortes de transgressions qui sont souvent commises à la légère et deviennent une habitude dont il
est difficile de se déshabituer : 1. Cancaner et jaser est un péché même si les bavardages sont vrais et racontés sans intention
de nuire; 2. La médisance (le lachon hara) est un péché pire que le meurtre, puisqu’elle détruit la bonne réputation qui vaut
mieux que la vie; 3. La colère risque toujours de faire commettre le pire et de causer des ennuis innombrables à soi-même et
aux autres; 4. Les mauvaises pensées peuvent devenir une néfaste habitude et entraîner de graves crimes; 5. Avoir de
mauvaises fréquentations peut également devenir une habitude, préjudiciable en elle-même et qui peut conduire au crime.
Le 9 Av (qui coïncide avec le 30 juillet cette année) commémore de tristes dates de l’histoire juive, entre autres l’épisode
des explorateurs et la destruction du Temple de Jérusalem par les Romains.
o L’épisode des explorateurs (Paracha Chela’h), permet de mesurer l’extrême gravité de la médisance, du lachon hara.
L’énormité du châtiment semble disproportionnée face à ce qui apparaît n’être qu’une simple erreur de jugement. Pour
avoir accepté cette médisance c’est l’ensemble du peuple qui sera puni. Il devra poursuivre son errance dans le désert
pendant 40 ans, et aucun des adultes n’aura le mérite de fouler la terre promise.
o Le rabbin Israël Meïr Kagan associe le lachon hara à la « haine gratuite » responsable, selon le Talmud, de la destruction
du Second Temple de Jérusalem. La longueur de l’exil dans lequel nous vivons depuis la destruction du Beth Hamikdach
nous renseigne sur l’aspect résolument destructeur de la médisance.
La malfaisance de la médisance tient tout d’abord dans le dommage causé à celui qui en est la triste cible. Chacun sait que
l’on peut nuire avec la parole plus qu’avec des gestes et des faits. Le mal que l’on prête à autrui, qu’il soit authentique ou
mensonger, lui collera dès lors à la peau. Quiconque a une fois écouté une médisance sans protester ni réagir, sait que depuis
elle s’inscrit dans son jugement comme un préjugé défavorable dont il a bien du mal à se défaire. La médisance est pure
violence faite à la dignité du sujet. Elle transforme l’homme qui en est la cible, en pur objet, que l’on jauge, définit et inscrit
dans des concepts réducteurs et infamants.
Plusieurs animaux sont associés au lachon hara, à la médisance, à la méchanceté et la haine gratuite. Je ne citerai ici que
l’araignée et le serpent.
o Il est noté dans des livres saints que l'araignée est l'animal symbolique de l’Idumée qui détruisit le Temple de
Jérusalem. L'araignée est le symbole de la méchanceté et de l'insolence. Elle ne respecte, en effet, rien, ni
personne. Peu lui importe où elle tisse sa toile. La laisse-t-on faire, et elle s'installe en plein palais ! En sus du
motif de haine à son égard qu'il nous a donné par sa participation à l'anéantissement du temple, cet animal nous
inspire le dégoût que mérite sa manière froide et cruelle de tuer. Lorsqu'on compare au venin d'un serpent celui de
l’araignée, on constate que ce dernier est de dix à quinze fois plus efficace et ne manque d'être mortel pour
l'homme que parce que l'animal ne peut, en une morsure, en injecter une quantité suffisante. De la même façon, la
méchanceté peut s'introduire subrepticement jusqu'au cœur de l'homme, dès lors que l'on manque de vigilance.
C'est pourquoi il importe que l'on sache extirper le mal de soi comme on le fait des toiles d'araignées que l'on
trouve autour de soi.
o Le serpent se sert de sa langue pour détecter sa proie, ce qui lui permet de la saisir avant quelle se rende compte du
danger qui la menace. Aussi est-il devenu, à juste titre, le symbole de la mauvaise langue (lachon hara); la
mauvaise langue peut être aussi mortelle que le venin de ce reptile. Nous trouvons beaucoup d'exemples dans la
Torah où le calomniateur est appelé un serpent venimeux ou comparé à celui-ci, et où l'auteur de lachon hara est
placé dans la compagnie des serpents. Il arrive qu'une personne très vertueuse laisse échapper par inadvertance des
propos malveillants ; que l'acte n'ait pas été prémédité ne l'empêchera pas de recevoir sa juste punition.
J’ai beaucoup voyagé ces 30 dernières années. J’ai ainsi fait partie de nombreuses communautés juives de par le monde. Ces
expériences me permettent aujourd’hui d’apprécier pleinement l’extraordinaire atmosphère de shalom qui règne à Beth
Tikvah. Au lieu de dépenser d’inutiles énergies à tenter de régler des conflits, nous avons la chance à Beth Tivkah de pouvoir
diriger nos efforts essentiellement vers le développement de notre communauté. Ce shalom, on le doit sans conteste à notre
rabbin Mordecai Zeitz envers qui j’ai une profonde admiration. Ayons à cœur de préserver ce shalom on évitant la
méchanceté, la médisance, le lachon hara.
Pour terminer, je tiens à dire que je me demande depuis plus d’un an s’il existe des membres de notre communauté qui
s’intéressent à cette page francophone du bulletin Hatikvah. Je vous donne ici l’occasion de me le confirmer. Un petit mot de
vive voix à la choule ou par email à l’adresse alain.hertz@gerad.ca sera pour moi un témoignage de votre intérêt. Je vous
souhaite à tous un bel été.
Tous vos commentaires et suggestions sont toujours les bienvenus et peuvent être adressés à alain.hertz@gerad.ca
