Thoughts on the Parsha from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar
Shabbos Parshas
Acharei-Kedoshim
NACHAS NOOK
Prefacing the special holy
service of Yom Kippur the
Torah relates again the
event of Aaron’s two sons
passing away as a result of
bringing a foreign fire into
their holy service. What is
the correlation between this
tragic occurrence and the
laws of Yom Kippur?
Our Rabbis explain that Aaron’s two older sons, Nadav and
Aveehu, were actually very holy, committed
unconditionally to Hashem and on the very loftiest level of
human capacity. Their foreign fire refers to their
unrequited passion to be completely absorbed in G-d’s
Infinite Being beyond the constraints and limits of our
physical world.
Thanks to Chayale Lipskar for her lovely drawing depicting
Ahavas Yisrael. Chayale is a student in Sarah Libke Caplin’s art
classes, here at The Shul. If you are interested in registering your
child in this fun class, please turn to page 20 for full details.
Recognizing through their enormous intellect and
emotion that there was no greater achievement and no
greater spiritual delight than to be totally nullified into the
Source of all Life – the transcendent dimension of “the
Infinite Light”, they chose to enter into an ecstatic
yearning, escaping the physical boundaries of the “soul in
body” limits.
This is not what G-d intended in creating the world. The
purpose of creation is not to reject all that G-d made but
to harness and mold it to become a dwelling place for G-d
Almighty Himself.
On Yom Kippur when we resemble some aspect of an “out
of world” reality, not eating, drinking, bathing etc. and are
likened to angels, the Torah emphasizes that this
experience must not be construed in a way that minimizes
a prior commitment to this temporal/spatial world.
It is here in our material place, where our physical senses
are paramount and where the shells of our animalistic
tendencies encompass and overpower us, that we are
challenged and charged to fulfill our purpose to sanctify
our world and transform it into Hashem’s Garden. It is here
that we can delight in G-dly pleasures that can be evoked
only through revealing and releasing the holy essence that
is embedded in the lowest and most physical creation.
When the world is filled with G-dliness as the waters cover
the sea, Moshiach will be here.
Have a good Shabbos and a great week.
Doesn’t this look familiar? This picture of Rabbi Mendy Levy’s
brother, Zalman Levy, was taken in the Stara Synagogue in
Krakow recently. At first glance, you would think it was here in
The Shul!

Celebrating Shabbos With Our Youth
Everything you need for an "Over the Top" Shabbos experience
Shabbos Schedule
No longer will your children get lost amongst the crowds in Shul on
Shabbos morning. The Shul youth has worked together to organize a
highly educational and fun program for children and teens of all
ages. Each Shabbos morning program involves a mix of Tefilla
(prayer), Parsha (weekly Torah study) and general "Jewishness",
through games, songs, and stories. Taught by our very own Shul
Bochurim and youth girls, each child will experience Shabbos in its
full glory; leaving with a taste of holiness and fun memories that will
keep them coming back from week to week. A Kiddush exclusively
for the children culminates the exciting program.
Shabbos
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Boys, ages 5-9: 2nd floor Youth Synagogue
Boys, ages 10-13: Main Sanctuary

10:30 a.m. until the end of Shul Services
Teen Girls, ages 15-18: Child Enrichment Center Classroom # 2
Shabbos with the Teen Boys Minyan
Ever wonder how you can teach your son to follow with a real
Minyan, or even run his own? The Shul youth has created the scene.
Every Shabbos morning, each teen has his own chance to play a
vital role in his own Shul Minyan, lead by one of our very own
Rabbis and Youth leaders. Every week all the boys have a chance to
act as Chazzan, Gabbai or ‘Rabbi’. This hands-on approach gives
each teen the opportunity to experience Shul and prayer to its
fullest, by involving them in every aspect of the Davening.
For Boys Only: ages 14-18

Parsha Messages
Halacha of the Week
Your Guide to Personal Freedom
By Rabbi Dov Schochet
Counting the Omer: Weeks Four/Five
Timely Payments
In this week’s Torah portion we are commanded to pay our
employees in a timely fashion. The reason for this Mitzvah is
explicit in the Torah: "and he sets his heart upon it: lest he cry
against you to G-d". A laborer is depending on his payment in
order to purchase food and all of his other needs. If his employer
is late in paying him, his very being is threatened. Therefore,
when one withholds payment they transgress a prohibition and
the positive Mitzvah of paying wages on time.
The Torah tells us that the proper time to pay is dependant on
whether it’s a day or night laborer. If the work was completed at
night, the employer has until the morning to pay. If the work
was completed during the day the employer must pay before the
night begins. This law applies to contractors as well. If one hires
someone to clean their clothing, as soon as they receive the
finished product they must make payment before either the day
or night comes, as above.
As with all monetary law, prevailing customs are controlling.
Hence, in a place where the accepted practice is not to make
payment immediately but to wait till the end of the week or
month, the employer is within his rights to withhold payment
until then. The reason being that the laborer, knowing this
custom, implicitly agrees to such a payment schedule by not
explicitly stipulating otherwise at the time of hiring (obviously,
once the end of the week or month comes the obligation is in
place).
Even though the Torah commandment only applies to the first
morning or evening after the work was finished (and once the
employer is late he no longer transgresses by further delaying
payment), still our sages teach us based on a verse in Proverbs
that every time the employee demands payment and is rebuffed
the employer is transgressing a law of the prophets.
If the employee does not demand payment or if the employer
has no funds to pay, the transgression does not apply (the
language in the Torah is "do not hold by you" implying that the
employer has the funds).
When one hires his employees through an agent the Torah
prohibition does not apply. Therefore, many scholars would only
hire through an agent so as not to come to a Torah prohibition in
case they were busy at the end of the day. Still they would be
careful to pay on time, recognizing the importance of these
funds to the worker.
In a similar vein, the Talmud teaches that if one hired workers
and through their own negligence they broke the merchandise, if
the employer has the ability he should not charge the laborer. If
the laborer was poor the employer should even pay him and go
in the path of the righteous and go beyond the letter of the law.
This teaches the sensitivity we must have—even when we are
justified to withhold wages we must always be sympathetic to
the needs of others. In treating others this way we can be sure
that G-d will reciprocate and treat us the same.
This is an excerpt from “Counting the Omer – A Spiritual Guide”
by Rabbi Simon Jacobson.
Day 25- Netzach of Netzach: Endurance in Endurance
Everyone has willpower and determination. We have the capacity
to endure much more than we can imagine, and to prevail under
the most trying of circumstances. Ask yourself: Is my behavior
erratic? Am I inconsistent and unreliable? Since I have will and
determination, why am I so mercurial? Am I afraid of accessing
my endurance and committing? Do I fear being trapped by my
commitment? If yes, why? Is it a reaction to some past trauma?
Instead of cultivating endurance in healthy areas, have I
developed a capacity for endurance of unhealthy experiences? Do I
endure more pain than pleasure? Do I underestimate my capacity
to endure?
Exercise for the day: Commit yourself to developing a new
good habit.
Day 26 - Hod of Netzach: Humility in Endurance
Yielding - which is a result of humility - is an essential element of
enduring. Standing fast can sometimes be a formula for
destruction. The oak, lacking the ability to bend in the hurricane,
is uprooted. The reed, which yields to the wind, survives without a
problem. Do I know when to yield, out of strength not fear? Why
am I often afraid to yield?
Endurance is fueled by inner strength. Hod of Netzach is the
humble recognition and acknowledgement that the capacity to
endure and prevail comes from the soul that G-d gave each
person. This humility does not compromise the drive of
endurance; on the contrary, it intensifies it, because human
endurance can go only so far and endure only so much, whereas
endurance that comes from the Divine soul is limitless. Do I
attribute my success solely to my own strength and
determination? Am I convinced that I am all-powerful due to my
level of endurance? Where do I get the strength at times when
everything seems so bleak?
Exercise for the day: When you awake, acknowledge G-d for
giving you a soul with the extraordinary power and versatility to
endure despite trying challenges. This will allow you to draw
energy and strength for the entire day.
Day 27 - Yesod of Netzach: Bonding in Endurance
Bonding is an essential quality of endurance. It expresses your
unwavering commitment to the person or experience you are
bonding with, a commitment so powerful that you will endure all
to preserve it. Endurance without bonding will not endure.
Exercise for the day: To ensure the endurance of your new
resolution, bond with it immediately. This can be assured by
promptly actualizing your resolution in some constructive deed or
committing yourself to another.
Day 28 - Malchus of Netzach: Nobility in Endurance
Sovereignty is the cornerstone of endurance. Endurance that
encompasses the previous six qualities is indeed a tribute and
testimony to the majesty of the human spirit.
Is my endurance dignified? Does it bring out the best in me? When
faced with hardships do I behave like a king or queen, walking
proudly with my head up, confident in my G-d-given strengths, or
do I cower and shrivel up in fear?
Exercise for the day: Fight for a dignified cause.

Weekly Words of Wisdom
During the fifth week of counting the Omer, we examine and
refine the emotional attribute of Hod or humility. Humility – and
the resulting yielding – should not be confused with weakness
and lack of self-esteem. Hod or humility is modesty - it is
acknowledgment (from the root of the Hebrew word "hoda'ah"). It
is saying "thank you" to G-d. It is clearly recognizing your qualities
and strengths and acknowledging that they are not your own;
they were given to you by G-d for a higher purpose than just
satisfying your own needs. Humility is modesty; it is recognizing
how small you are which allows you to realize how large you can
become. And that makes humility so formidable.

Congregant’s Corner
The Value of Time
By Dr. John Sragowicz, M.D.
With some parts taken from AISH HATORAH
I
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a
grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth
to a premature baby.
nstead of talking during prayer time in the synagogue, let us
sit quietly and meditate on the following: What is the value of
time? Many of us live our lives as if we will live forever,
putting off even important things for another day.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly
newspaper.
The Torah teaches us to value time. Every moment is precious.
Every moment a person can do good, perfect his character, make
the world a better place. The Almighty gives us a limited amount
of time and it is up to us to make the most of it.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the sick patient waiting at
the emergency.
The Pirkei Avot, Ethics of Our Fathers, teaches us to keep in
mind during our daily activities "before Whom we will receive
judgment and accounting." Our actions are accountable. What
is the difference between "judgment" and "accounting"? The
Vilna Gaon explains that "judgment" is regarding what you
actually did with your time - the good deeds or the misdeeds.
"Accounting", however, refers to the unfulfilled potential that
each of us could have accomplished with our time, had we been
careful with it and used it to our best advantage.
To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with
kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed
the plane.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just
avoided an accident.
Did you hug your child today? Did you spend quality time with
him/her?
Have you visited your parents or called them lately?
Enjoy your family, your children, your friends.
Our sages teach us that if we truly want to make the most of our
time in this world, we should do a daily accounting before we go
to sleep. This is called a "Cheshbon HaNefesh" - perhaps best
translated as a "Soul Reckoning."
Treasure every moment that you have! And remember that time
waits for no one.
How do you do it ?
Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery.
Ask yourself 4 questions:
1.
2.
What is my purpose in life?
What did I do towards my purpose or away from my
purpose?
3. What could I do better tomorrow?
4. What is more important to accomplish and live for ?
It is also an excellent idea to review your interactions with others
to know if there is anyone to whom you should apologize or
offer help.
Life is often tough. It can be very strengthening to focus on the
fact that, if you are still here, the Almighty is giving you this time
for a purpose and you have not yet completed your job in this
world.
The following example can help one appreciate the value of time:
"Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning
with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every
evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of
course!
"Each of us has such a bank. It’s name is TIME. Every morning, it
credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It
carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens
a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the
day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There
is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as
to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today!"
Loving Your Neighbor
By Malca Bassan
The Torah is the book of learning and love
Hashem says, "love your neighbor,"
feel his joy and his woe.
Hashem's words comfort us
because they are written with love
for His creations in the whole world.
The more good we do to young and old
the more we begin to love,
because Israel is one part
and we are her dearest parties.
We were created in the image of G-d
and "love your neighbor" is loving the Lord.
When we wish our neighbor the best of the world,
we leave the feeling of jealousy very far-off.
Prophet Habakuk said that faith in G-d
is the foundation of the Torah, whereas
Rabbi Akiva asserted that "love your neighbor"
is the beginning of the Torah.
"Loving your neighbor" means
to love your brother without resentment.
"Loving your neighbor" means
to believe in G-d with contentment.

Reflexión Semanal
Enfoque de la Parashà
Ajarei Mot - Kedoshim – Hacércela más fácil a
los retornantes.
No robarás… (Vaikrá 19, 13)
En el párrafo bíblico semanal, la Torá nos advierte del no robar la
propiedad del prójimo: “No retengas lo que es de tu compañero y
no robes”.
Este pecado es de tal magnitud que Maimónides dictamina que
“todo el que roba a su compañero por el valor de ‘una prutá’ (la
moneda talmúdica de menor valor) es como si lo hubiese
despojado de su alma”.
Esta gravedad está determinada específicamente en el robo y no
en el hurto, a pesar de que en ambos casos tiene lugar una
apropiación ilícita de los bienes de una persona. En el segundo
caso, el ladrón es consciente de la propiedad de la persona sobre
sus bienes y por ello carece de la osadía de enfrentar al dueño,
apropiándose de su bien a través del hurto. A diferencia de ello,
quien roba se apropia abiertamente del bien ajeno y con ello
ataca un aspecto fundamental del alma humana, el derecho de
propiedad de los propios bienes, y con ello lo “despoja de su
alma”.
Pero esta disposición se instauró sólo en caso de que “el ladrón
quiso arrepentirse y vino por propia iniciativa y devolvió lo
robado. Con este acto, el ladrón demostró la sinceridad de su
arrepentimiento y el reconocimiento de la potestad del dueño del
objeto robado. Así el ladrón rectifica su pecado, y por ello
nuestros Sabios vieron apropiado hacer accesible el camino del
arrepentimiento y ordenaron no aceptar dinero por lo robado.
SIN INTENCIÓN DE GANAR
De esta ley aprendemos hasta qué punto debe uno esforzarse
para ayudar a un judío a retornar a la buena senda, y hacer
Teshuvá. Si para “acercar el camino recto a los arrepentidos”
dispusieron los Sabios que la persona resigne a su dinero, cuánto
más debemos esforzarnos para ayudar el acercamiento de un
judío a su Padre Celestial.
El activar en acercar a los judíos a la Torá debe hacerse sin
intención de rédito personal- ni material o espiritual (por la
recompensa en el mundo Venidero y similares), el único interés
debe ser lisa y llanamente: acercar al judío a Di-s, incluso a costa
de pérdida “personal”. Y cuando los judíos retornan a Di-s de
inmediato son redimidos en la verdadera y completa redención a
manos del Mashiaj.
QUITAR EL ALMA
La enmienda de este pecado es un precepto de la Torá “devolverá
lo que robó” El ladrón está obligado a devolver el bien robado a
su dueño y a través de ello se considera como que le hubiera
“restituido el alma” del despojado arreglando el pecado de
“despojar el alma” implícito en el acto de robar.

Lunes 8:45 p.m. - 9:45 p.m. Sinagoga Principal
Pero ¿cómo es la ley cuando el objeto robado ya no existe?
Maimónides dictamina: Si lo robado ya no existe y el ladrón desea
arrepentirse y vino por iniciativa propia y devolvió el valor de lo
robado, dispusieron los Sabios que no debe aceptárselo, sino que
debe ayudársele y perdonarlo, para acercar el camino recto a los
retornantes”

ARREPENTIMIENTO SINCERO
La explicación de ello es la siguiente: mientras que existe la
posibilidad de devolver el elemento robado, es una mitzvá
hacerlo, ya que a través de ello se enmienda lo más grave del acto
de robar- “el despojo del alma”
Pero cuando el bien ya no está, no puede arreglarse este aspecto
del robo y lo máximo posible es indemnizar al damnificado por el
daño sufrido con el robo. En este caso decretaron los Sabios la
“disposición para el arrepentido”, para hacer más fácil el camino
del retornante.

Réflexions sur la Paracha
Vivre avec la Paracha
Ce chabbat nous lirons 2 parachiyot: Aharé-mote et
Kédochime. Aharé-mote signifie, après la mort. Kédochime
signifie, "saints", à part...
Le roi Salomon a dit: “Tov ...yom hamavet miyom hivalédo”, c'est
à dire, le jour de la mort est préférable au jour de la naissance.
C'est en effet à la mort que l'on se rend compte des qualités du
défunt. Aharé-mote, après la mort, Kédochim, on est considéres
comme "saints", à part.
Dans cette 1ere péricope, il s'agit de la mort étrange des 2 fils
d'Aharon, Nadav et Avihou qui avaient péri pour avoir allumé un
feu étranger - Eche Zara. Le Zohar compare cette mort à celle de
Ben Azzay, compagnon de R. Akiva. Ben Azzay a péri car il a
échoué dans son expérience du Pardès.
Quand on cherche à accéder à des secrets interdits de la Kabbale,
on peut risquer la mort.
Cette Paracha contient 27 mitsvots concernant 3 volets:
1. L'interdiction faite au Cohen d'entrer dans le Saint des Saints
n'importe quand.
2. Les sacrifices du Yom Kippour, dont le fameux BOUC
EMISSAIRE, hassaïr hamichtaléyah laazazel.
3. Les unions et les mariages interdits:
- Unions entre personnes de la même famille.
- L'homoséxualité.
- La zoophilie.
- L'union avec "Moloch, aussi grave que l'idolâtrie. Ces
principes ont pour but de préserver la famille et la
descendance.
La 2eme paracha, Kédochim, traite des principes de Kédoucha, ou
comment le peuple d'Israel peut devenir un peuple A PART.
Les 49 mitsvot ont 2 points communs:
1. Soyez "A part", Kédochim tihyou.
2. Ne faîtes pas comme les autres. Al taassou kémaasséhem...
La source unique du Judaïsme est la Kédoucha qui provient de
D.ieu—Ki Kadoch Ani.
Selon un commentateur, les Mitsvot de la Torah se répartissent en
3 saintetés:
1. Celle du corps, qui concerne la nourriture, la vie sexuelle, les
vêtements, la santé...
2. Celle du temps, qui concerne le Chabbat, les Fêtes qu'on
dénomme Mikra'é Kodech.
3. Celle de l'espace qui touche surtout le Temple ou Bet
Hamikdach et tout ce qui s'y rattache.
De nombreuses expressions hébraïques rappellent cette notion de
KEDOUCHA: D.ieu c'est Hakadoch Baroukh Hou, en premier. Eretz
Hakodech, c'est la terre d'Israel. Léchon hakodech, en parlant de
l'Hébreu. Aron hakodech, l'Arche Sainte. Bet Hamikdach, le Temple
de Jérusalem. Ir hakodech ou Jérusalem. Bigdé hakodech, ce sont
les Habits spéciaux du Cohen. La Kédoucha qui rappelle la vision
d'Esaïe dans laquelle les Anges chantent: KADOCH, KADOCH,
KADOCH. La sublîme prière du KADDICH. La bénédiction du vin
ou Kiddouch. Les Kiddouchine, ou mariage.
Voilà donc une paracha exceptionnelle et "A PART".
Chabbat Chalom
ALBERT
Après...
Savoir garder le cap
Adapté d'un discours du Rabbi de Loubavitch
La Paracha de A'harei Mot présente un paradoxe quelque peu
étonnant. Les versets qui l’ouvrent évoquent Yom Kippour, le jour
le plus saint de l’année, au cours duquel le Peuple Juif « ressemble
aux anges ». En ce jour, « ils se purifient devant D.ieu ». Et puis, la
fin de la Paracha avertit : « ne révèle pas la nudité de ton père, ne
révèle pas la nudité de ta mère... N’accomplis aucune de ces
abominations ». Il ne s’agit pas exactement de fautes dont il faille
admonester les anges ! Pourquoi donc ces deux sujets sont-ils
inclus dans la même Paracha ?
La réponse à cette question se trouve en allusion dans le nom
même de cette lecture de la Torah : A’harei, qui signifie « après »,
et dans son premier verset : « Et D.ieu parla à Moïse après la mort
des deux fils d’Aharon quand ils se furent rapprochés de D.ieu et
qu’ils moururent ».
Yom Kippour est un jour où chaque Juif « se rapproche de D.ieu ».
Néanmoins, cette expérience ne doit pas se suffire à elle-même. Il
faut, en outre, se concentrer sur ce qui arrive après. La manière
dont nous nous sommes rapprochés de D.ieu doit influer sur les
jours et les semaines qui suivent.
Les plus profondes aspirations de notre âme et les moments
spirituels les plus élevés de notre expérience religieuse doivent
être rattachés aux réalités de notre existence matérielle. La
spiritualité n’est pas une dimension ajoutée, séparée de notre
expérience quotidienne mais un moyen par lequel nous élevons
notre quotidien. En faisant la fusion entre notre réalité matérielle
et notre réalité spirituelle, nous raffinons le monde, l’imprégnons
de sainteté et le transformons en résidence pour la Présence
Divine.
C’est la raison pour laquelle nous lisons les passages concernant
les relations interdites dans la Paracha qui décrit le service du
sacrifice de Yom Kippour et, de fait, nous lisons les interdictions
concernant ces relations durant le service des prières de Yom
Kippour.
Nous vivons tous des moments où notre cœur se tourne vers le
haut et où nous nous sentons plus en unisson avec notre âme et
D.ieu, comme cela se produit par exemple à Yom Kippour, un jour
où nous nous mettons à l’écart de toutes préoccupations
matérielles. Mais même alors, il faut que nos yeux soient tournés
vers le bas. La force spirituelle de ces moments spéciaux doit être
utilisée pour recharger notre service divin quotidien et nous
motiver à agir selon les désirs de D.ieu même dans le contexte de
situations où nous pourrions être tentés de suivre un autre
chemin.
