Rabbi's Message
THE TRUTH
“The world endures on three things- Truth, Justice, and Peace” (Pirkei Avot)
After this past summer’s war with
Hamas many Jews around the
world were left wondering what
lies behind Arab rage against Israel.
Compared to the millions of Muslims slaughtered by other
Muslims in Sudan, Syria, Iraq and other countries, Palestinian
deaths in Israel are relatively few. Yet the hundreds of thousands
massacred and millions more repressed does not evoke Arab
outrage as do the events in Israel. Why the double standard?
In a New York Times article, Nicholas Kristoff argues that this
double standard in the Middle East is because Arab countries are
shame-based societies, and Israeli repression of Arabs is seen
not just as brutal, but also as humiliating.
He cites Arabs telling him that “Israeli occupation represents
a total humiliation of all the Arab regimes. It’s a continuous
reminder of the weakness of the Arabs as a people, of their society
and political system, as well as an indication of the impotence
and corruption of their regimes.”
Arab humiliation seems to have become a mainstay since the
fall of the Ottoman Empire. The Arab world can simply not get
over their lost pride as a people who once ruled and represented
the epitome of civilization, and now are relegated to Third World
status. Israel and America represent for the Arab world the source
of this humiliation – so the argument goes.
Understanding the underlying causes for Arab sentiments is not
academic; it is the only way to get to the bottom of the issues.
Understanding their mentality is the true key to help provide us
with a meaningful strategy. The Media feeds the world with all
the statistics and focuses on the superficial causes without ever
offering insight into the driving forces behind the conflict. Does
the Arab world seek justice for the Palestinians? Equal rights?
(rights they do not have under any Arab ruler), Some land to
live peacefully? Or perhaps they want something more that they
simply are not telling us?
Sometimes the truth is something no one wants to hear or
acknowledge. The war against Israel, the source of Arab anger is
rooted in religious belief and this is very difficult for us to accept.
The Arab world’s opposition to Israel is not due to any Israeli
actions, but rather to the very existence of the Land of Israel.
This control is a perpetual thorn in their side, and the root cause
for their “shame” and humiliation.
SIMCHAT TORAH–THURSDAY evening OCTOBER 16
Why? Because Muslims fundamentally believe that Israel’s
existence – and Jewish control over Israel – in what they consider
their ‘conquered land,’ is a desecration of their religious vision.
SIMCHAT TORAH – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17
This is the reason why Muslims have always built mosques on
the sacred land of Jews and Christians (e.g. the Temple Mount,
Bethlehem) to demonstrate their absolute belief that Muslim

control over these lands fulfills and realizes the Divine will.
This religious belief is the true cause for the rage of the Arab/
Muslim world against Israel. It is not about human rights,
Palestinian sovereignty, Arab dignity, oil, money, harems, or any
other issue. No amount of land return, no concessions will satisfy
them – other than the elimination of Jewish control in Israel.
As uncomfortable as it may be, we will never be able to resolve the
issues until we realize that this is a religious war not a political one.
Many of us would like to conveniently believe that the issues are
political ones, because that would make the situation a lot more
manageable and the problem a lot simpler. We know how to deal
with political challenges. But if this is a religious war, we simply
do not have the tools, expertise or interest to fight such a war.
Our existing modalities are secular ones. Our political systems
and governmental institutions have been built with secular goals
in mind, without much consideration to spiritual and religious
values. The West does not see the world in context of religious
and spiritual vision. That is why it cannot fathom or understand
the rage of the Arab world today.
And this is why a Palestinian state is not possible, and for that
matter not doable. A state will never satisfy the Arab world. They
will simply see it as a step in the direction of their re-conquest
of Israel. They do not want a state for political reasons, but for
religious ones. That is the key to the underlying issues. As much
as we wish to make the Arafats of the world our “partners in
peace,” we must realize that our secular notions of peace are not
part of their paradigm.
Western nations around the world must stop playing politics
with the future of Israel. People around the world must gain
insight into the true cause of this conflict, recognizing that any
Jew, Christian or non-Muslim that has any kind of sovereignty or
control anywhere, is in itself an insult to the Islamic vision and all
moral and ethical lines must be crossed to obliterate that dominion.
At this Rosh Hashanah, let us remember what the Torah teaches,
that the world we live in was created through words and therefore
can be destroyed through words. The time has come to put
aside political correctness, ambiguities, deceptions and to begin
speaking the truth of what’s really going on, for the path of justice
and peace begins with the truth.
Wishing all our members and friends a Kativa Ve Chatima Tova

Cantor's Message
LET’S STAY
CONNECTED
One day during the year, I forgot my cell phone at home. Oy yo yoy, what a day it was.
At one of the weddings in our shul the chef’s cell ran out of battery, he asked me if he can
borrow my charger. I gladly gave it to him. While he left his cell on my desk to be charged, he literally came every
ten minutes to check if anyone called him. When I asked him, do you really get phone calls at 8:00 p.m., his reply
was “no, but I must stay connected”.
How many accidents and loss of life have been caused by texting while driving and the truth is, not because it
cannot wait a few minutes but only because that at all times we must stay connected.
Where are those days when we came home from a day’s work, have supper, chat with our loved ones and only then
we went to check the answering machine to see who called and who left a message.
It is on Rosh Hashana when we have to ask ourselves “are we connected”, and although the first law of the Code
of Jewish Law states what King David says in Tehillim, Chapter 16 “Shiviti Hashem Lenegdi Tamid”, I have set
Hashem before me at all times. It is on Rosh Hashana that our connection takes action. When we come to shul and
we sing together “M-e-l-e-c-h Al Kol Ha’aretz Mekadesh Yisrael” as we are appointing G-d, King of the Universe,
and yes, we can pray at home and we can go to a small shtible, but is this connection satisfactory, although we
have a home line, we still want to be connected when we are outside at all times. So is the connection to a large
congregation a better connection, as the Talmud says: “Berov Am Hadrat Melech,” with a massive audience is
honour to the King.
Let us make this year’s resolution to stay connected a bit more, because everyone knows that New Year resolutions
are broken very quickly. This year I will control my temper, this year I will go to shul every Shabbat etc.. Several
days into the New Year, most of the resolutions are forgotten, even though they were made with the utmost sincerity.
Therefore let us make reasonable resolutions like; once a month to come to shul for a Shabbat Service, once a
week for a Mincha Maariv Service, or even only once a month to attend a Shabbat Kiddush to taste the delicious
food in the honour of Shabbat.
In order to stay connected, should you wish to chant a Haftorah, lead a Mincha Maariv or learn a new melody that
our “choir” will introduce during the Holy Days, contact me on my cell 514-885-5237 and we can schedule an
appointment.
On behalf of my family, I would like to wish each and everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
Summer is like a visit from
a good friend – we look
forward to its arrival, but it
leaves all too quickly. Now as
we think about the arrival of
Fall, our thoughts turn to the
New Year celebrations.
Sisterhood’s opening meeting this year will take
place in the Sukkah on Wednesday October 15.
Our Rabbi Asher Jacobson will give a D’var Torah
and we will have the opportunity to shake and give
prayers over the Lulov and Etrog with the help of our
Cantor Yitzhak Epstein. Simcha Fine will deliver her
last lecture of the series to us – the title “The Extra
Mile” – Tools for Implementing Lasting Change.
Sisterhood had an interesting and busy year starting
with the opening luncheon on September 25, 2013,
where Rabbi Jacobson spoke on the topic of “Rabbi
or Rebbetzin”. On October 16, 2013 Simcha Fine
spoke on “Emotion – Anger Management”, one of
the seven series lectures she gave us. She followed
on November 6, 2013 with the “Kaballah of Food”
With the arrival of Purim, the Sisterhood, along
with the Chesed Committee, on March 12 and 13
packed and delivered Purim Baskets for the sick and
bereaved. On March 19, 2013 Simcha Fine spoke on
the “Holistic Approach to Pursuing Happiness”.
On May 10, 2013, Sisterhood Shabbat took place.
Most of the ladies took part in the services and a
wonderful Kiddush followed, sponsored by the
Sisterhood.
Plans for lectures and events are being formulated for
the Fall. Please check for upcoming events. Anyone
interested in joining the Sisterhood or sitting in on a
meeting, please call the office for information.
May every person be inscribed in the Book of Life for
the New Year “Yehi Ratzon …Shetchavesh Olaynu
Shana Tova Umetuka - May it be G-d’s will to grant
us a Good and Sweet Year”

Why are resolutions so diﬃcult to
keep up? Is lasting change even
possible? In Judaism, the human
capacity to overstep our perceived
limitations is not only possible, but
essential for personal growth. This
lesson outlines a practical, step-bystep guide for how to implement
change that will endure.

Many mitzvot commanded to us were mitzvot that were to be done at
specific times. Some of these mitzvot were putting on tefillin, praying
three times a day, lighting Shabbat candles, blowing of the shofar etc.
The difference is the mitzvah of Chesed – Kindness can be done at any
time, any day or by anyone. A child can help a classmate with their
school work. A man can help a friend or an acquaintance with putting on
tefillin and/or teaching him to pray, A woman can help a sick friend by
making Shabbat meals for her family..
We at The Chevra continue to go one step further. We remember our
members with kindness. We send gifts for Rosh Hashana and Purim
Mishloach Manot baskets, staying in touch with them by phone and
reminding them that they are not forgotten. We also send out get well
cards, condolence cards and make shiva visits.
There are always ways to keep this mizvah vibrant. We must not forget

The Chevra Give- Away
Beit Hazikaron
I have come to the conclusion that Barbara Vininsky,
the owner of Jack and Jill has a heart of gold. It’s not
that I doubted that in the first place, it’s just that I didn’t
know to what extent. A year ago August , Barbara
donated, in a magnanimous way, designer clothing for
The Chevra Synagogue to distribute amongst families
from the Montreal community who were unable to
afford high end clothes.
We have entered the month of Elul and some of us might
remember our parents’ early wake up to be part of the
minyan saying Selichot. I remember one particular refrain
which is still in me, namely the 13 attributes of God which
is recited during the days of repentance and High Holiday.
When Barbara phoned me that the items were ready, I
expected to pick up a couple of bags that would surely
fit into my car in one shift. Lol. Everyday, for the
next two weeks, the shul staff and I left Jack and Jill
with a carload of exquisite new clothes, outerwear and
accessories.
At one point, I told Barbara, that we have enough and
that she should keep some clothes for her store. Her
response: “I prepared some more stuff, can you send
someone for pick up “ - and that explicitly meant
another 20 large bags of precious inventory.
The give-away was called for 10:00 am on November
26. We displayed all the thousands of items in the
Raicek Hall according to sizes and seasons. In minutes,
the hall filled up with hundreds of families, excited to
dress their children the Jack and Jill way. Barbara was
present to help with the sizing. Everyone who benefitted
from this give-away expressed tremendous gratitude:
“My kids can now go to synagogue with pride in their
Perry Ellis suits”, or “my kids will be warm this winter
with their new Canada Goose coats”, and so on.
This event was just the beginning for Barbara. On many
other occasions, she donated much needed clothes to
the Montreal Community, with the most recent donation
of designer gowns for girls, which has now become a
part of our free loan bridal Gemach (charity) that we
have in our Synagogue.
On behalf of the Synagogue, I would like to express
sincere gratitude to Barbara Vininsky for her extreme
generosity, in memory of her late mother Blossom May
her legacy live on.

Shabbat Under the Stars
The plan was to block off Finchley Rd. between Langhorne
and Ellerdale, set up 60 mega dining room tables with
chandeliers, china, and glassware and have Shabbat dinner
under the stars for the Chevra and Hampstead community.
We rented chairs, tables, portable ovens and fridges.
Stunning advertisements were displayed all over. Six
hundred people registered. We were all ready for this special
day, but mother nature called for rain, a storm raging in
from the four corners of the world, peaking in Montreal,
right above Finchley Rd. For the odd time in Montreal, the
weather predicted was correct. One hundred percent rain,
every hour of the day.
As optimistic as we tried to be, we needed a plan B. Three
hours before the event, the committee made a decision
that Shabbat under the Stars will be held at the Chevra
synagogue. An email was sent out informing everyone,
and though we did receive a couple of cancellations, many
more signed up. The waiters and crew set up the Ballroom
exquisitely.
At 5:00 p.m., an hour before we were supposed to start, the
skies cleared. We immediately set up the courtyard for a
pre-Shabbat BBQ with a DJ making it laibidik with all the
Shabbat songs. When you walked up Clanranald and heard
the music and joy that permeated from the synagogue, you
were able to feel the energy that was set forth for the night.
Despite the weather, Shabbat under the Stars was truly
magical.
Following the BBQ there was an inspiring Mincha Maariv
service. Rabbi Jacobson did a 10 minute stand-up comedy
act asking for everyone’s patience as they entered the Main
Ballroom for dinner.
It was amazing to see our synagogue filled to capacity with
young dynamic families sharing the Shabbat together. The
décor and the catering were exquisite. For many women,
it was their first time lighting Shabbat candles. When 600
people began to sing Shalom Aleichem melody welcoming
the Shabbat, you can sense the unparalleled unity.
A big Yasher Koach to all the volunteers, sponsors and staff.
Without you, this would have never been possible.

THE MARCIA CARTMAN Z'L
OFFICE DEDICATION
O
CIJR PRESENTATION
ur Shul offices have been our Shul offices
forever.
The first impression of our Synagogue to any
outsider contemplating an event (wedding, Bat or
Bar Mitzvah, corporate affair) is our office. With
Michelle Robineau becoming our new banquet
director it was imperative to make a change.
Using funds so generously donated by the Cartman
Family, honoring the memory of Marcia Cartman
z”l, Jack Rothenberg, a former Chevra President,
undertook the project of getting it designed and
ultimately completed. In the presence of the
Cartman Family and members of the Executive and
Board a beautiful and moving dedication ceremony
took place on July 7, 2014, followed by a brunch
enjoyed by all.
The Canadian Institute for Jewish Research (CIJR)
hosted an evening at our Synagogue on Wednesday
August 20, 2014 with guest speaker Itamar Marcus,
Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch,
who captivated the 70 attendees with his strong
viewpoints on the Middle East as he spoke on the
subject “Exposing the PA’s Duplicity”, which was
accompanied by a dramatic slide show.
Refreshments were served following the presentation.

in the Sanctuary at 5:40 p.m.
followed by
Mincha and Shalosh Seudot at 6:20 p.m.
The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called Shabbat Shuvah, Shabbat of Return
because its special haftarah reading begins with the words Shuvah Yisrael “Return O Israel”, from the
prophecy of Hoshea. It is also referred to as Shabbat Shuvah because it falls during the Ten Days of
Repentance.
Everyone is invited to attend.

October 1942 – Esther Stermer, along with some family members and a group of other families, seek
asylum underground to evade being caught by pursuing Nazis. They remain hidden below for nearly a
year and a half – the longest recorded uninterrupted underground survival occurrence.
Their harrowing story is unearthed by accident when cave explorer, Chris Nicola, stumbles upon remnants
left behind by the cave dwellers. Through extensive research and determination, Nicola locates a few of
the survivors and has them share their incredible story of strength and perseverance.

A LETTER OF THANKS TO RABBI JACOBSON
TASHLICH
Tashlich is a magical, mystical
moment when the neshama
communes with G-d and nature,
transcending the vice of human folly
to soar aloft, freed from the fetters
Dear Rabbi Jacobson
It has been a couple of days since Aidan’s Bar Mitzvah and
I am still processing and reliving the momentous event.
I cannot tell you how much your involvement in his Bar
Mitzvah (as well as our lives) has meant to me.
It is no secret that I have always had many opinions and
questions when it came to organized religion, but I have
to say that watching my son on that bimah, standing there
with confidence, poise and with such a command over what
he was doing. I think I finally get it!
I was filled with so much love and pride for him in that
moment as well as for our Jewish traditions that I was
overwhelmed by my emotions.
I’ve now come to realize that this ritual of Bar Mitzvah
is really a rite of passage, not only for the child, but, and
maybe even more importantly, for the parents as well.
I don’t want to be too dramatic, but for me this was a truly
transcendent experience and I am shocked by the impact
it has had on me. Being in the Sanctuary, with the light of
the stained glass reflecting on everyone and everything,
the choir in the background, surrounded by so many who
mean so much to us, has evoked feelings in me that I will
remember and treasure forever.
You, Rabbi, have a way of bringing out the best in everyone,
slowly but surely, guiding them and making them feel
comfortable and comforted by these traditions and if I dare
say you are even capable of “Converting the unconvertible”
- namely me!
Your acceptance and tolerance of my opinions and humour
has never gone unnoticed and you have no idea how much
it has meant to me and really how much you, Lieba and
your family mean to all of us.
On a final note I want you to know that you have made a
difference in my Jewish life and although I may never be a
“regular” in your Sanctuary, please know that I will always
carry this experience with me and for that I will be forever
changed and forever indebted to you.
With my utmost respect, gratitude and appreciation

SUCCOT
A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE MITZVAH OF ETROG AND LULAV
1. The Mitzvah of Etrog and Lulav
is performed every morning of Succot
except on Shabbat, by both men and
women.
2. The Mitzvah is generally performed
during the morning (Shacharit) services
- right before “Hallel.” However, it may
be performed from sunrise to sunset.
3.
Every day of Succot, say the
bracha, “al netilat lulav.” The bracha
“shehechiyonu” is said on the first day
only.
4. Make sure the 3 Hadassim (myrtle
branches) and 2 Arovos (willow
branches) are attached to the lulav
holder (Hadassim look like an eye,
Arovos are shaped like lips).
When you pick up the lulav - the
Hadassim are on your right and the
Arovos on you left.
5. Now you are ready to make the
bracha:
a) Pick up the lulav in your right hand
with its spine facing you.
b) Pick up the etrog in your left hand,
but...
c) Be sure you have picked it up, upside
down, i.e. with the stem (the place where
it is cut from the tree) upward and pitom
(apex) downward.
e) Say the blessing “al Netilat lulav”
while standing.
f) Now, turn the etrog around, right side
up with the pitom upward (this is the
way etrog grows).
g) Hold the etrog and lulav together
(they should touch) and then shake the
etrog and lulav.
f) It is traditional to wave toward the
six directions (front, right, back, left,
up and down) as an indication that G-d
rules over all the earth.
This order applies equally to the
“waving” during Hallel.
OBSERVANCES OF SUCCOT
OBSERVANCES OF SIMCHAT TORAH
What is Succot?
Immediately following the awe-filled days of Rosh
Hashana and Yom Kippur, we prepare for the joyous
exuberance of Succot - the “Season of our Rejoicing.” After
leaving Egypt, during the forty years of wandering in the
wilderness, the Jewish people were surrounded by protective
“clouds of glory”. In commemoration, and to enhance our
awareness of G’d’s all-embracing love and protection, we
are commanded, “In Succot (booths) you shall dwell, seven
days”. (Lev. 23:42) Eating festive meals and spending time
in the outdoor Succah is a unique religious experience.
Another special Mitzvah of Succot is the shaking together
of the “Four Species” - the etrog (citron), lulav (palm
branch), hadassim (myrtle branches), and arovos (willow
branches). One explanation, among many, is that each of the
four kinds represents a different type of Jew. The fact that
the Mitzvah requires all four kinds symbolizes our oneness
as a people; we all need one another. And the four species
are waved in all four directions, and up and down, signifying
that G-d is everywhere.
What is Simchat Torah?
Simchat Torah is the culmination of a month filled with
uplifting experiences, enriching every aspect of our spiritual,
intellectual and emotional lives. We have stood in awe before
the King of the Universe and accepted His sovereignty over
us. We have been forgiven and cleansed by His mercy, and we
have experienced the joy of uniting with G-dliness through His
beautiful commandment. Now, we rejoice with His Torah.
It is said that the Torah itself rejoices when we take the
sacred scrolls in our arms and dance together, the accomplished
scholar and the novice, regardless of our level of knowledge.
During the dancing, the scroll remains in its cover, for this is
not the time for study. The joy of Simchat Torah transcends that
derived from intellectual understanding.
The Succah
During the entire seven days of the Festival all meals are
eaten in the Succah, unless it rains. On the day of Shemini
Atzeret it is an option but not required. When partaking of
a meal containing at least two ounces of bread or cake, we
say the blessing “layshev basuccah”. Consult our Rabbi
for details on building a proper Succah, or purchase a
prefabricated Succah from a reliable source.
“YIZKOR” RECITED DURING
SHEMINI ATZERET MORNING SERVICE
The Intermediate Days of Succot
The third through the seventh day of Succot are called
Chol Hamoed - the intermediate days. We do not recite
Kiddush or light Yom Tov Candles. However, only necessary
work should be done. The seventh day of Succot is called
Hoshana Rabba. It is customary to stay awake at
night and recite portions of Torah and Book of Psalms. In
the morning, we circle the Bima seven times, lulav and
estrog in hand. Then we recite special prayers, called
“hoshannas”, while holding five willow branches on the
floor, symbolically “sweeting” G-d’s judgement.
20
The Festive Meals
On the eighth day is Shemini Atzeret, we may continue to eat
meals in the Succah, but without reciting the blessing “layshev
basuccah”. On Simchat Torah, the ninth day, we resume eating
meals indoors.
Hakafot
On the evening of Simchat Torah, we make seven hakafot
(circling) around the Bimah, singing and dancing with Torah
scrolls. On the morning of Simchat Torah, the final portion
of the Torah is read, completing the yearly cycle. Then we
immediately read the first portion, beginning the cycle anew.
Thus, we continue to delve into the infinite wisdom of G-d’s
Torah - the eternal force that has bound us together and
sustained us for more than 3000 years. Two important honorees
are given high respect on this morning - the Hatan Torah (called
up to complete the Torah) and Hatan Breishit (first Aliyah of
new cycle).

NewTorah Dedication at The Chevra
In memory of Rabbi Betzalel Jacobson z”l
On June 15, 2014 a special Torah was completed
and dedicated in loving memory of our Rabbi
Asher Jacobson’s father, Rabbi Betzalel
Jacobson z’l. Over 300 of our members and
friends attended throughout the day. Each person
had the opportunity to purchase a letter in the
Torah, and write that letter with the Scribe. At
the conclusion of a moving ceremony, Lieba and
Rabbi Jacobson, inscribed the final letters of the
Torah, dressed the Torah and it was then escorted
22
under a Chupah, into the Main Sanctuary. All the
other Torahs of the Chevra were taken out of the
Arc to welcome this new Torah. The Torah is now
in the Arc and will be read for the first time on
November 1, 2014 when we will celebrate the Bar
Mitzvah of Yacov Jacobson, grandson of Rabbi
Bezalel Jacobson z’l.
We thank everyone who participated

THE CHEVRA
Another fantastic Golf Tournament took place on Monday
June 16 at the Val des Lacs Golf Club. Foursomes filled the
course, food was enjoyed at every turn and spirits ran high
with all the shnapps shared with the Rabbi.
Special thanks to all our sponsors whose support is much
appreciated and to our Committee and volunteers who are the
backbone of every event.
Our auction was a huge success thanks to our special guest
Anthony Calvillo and to the Rabbi who did such an awesome
job and managed to make this the most profitable auction ever.
The following are members of our Golf Committee: Danny
Rossner, Gary Trestan, Sanford Smith, David Farber, Jack
Starke, Hershey Fitleberg, and Leonard Freedman, and they
will be joined this year by Jerry Sherman and Warren Hersh.
If you would like to join our Committee, please notify me at
514-482-3366. It has been my pleasure to work side by side
with this group for the past 10 years, and the end result is
worth every effort.
Iona Redler
Events Co-ordinator
If you would like to join our Committee, please notify Iona Redler at 514-482-3366.
