Drash v'DaSh: A Shabbat Message and Greeting
“eTree”
Earlier this week I received the “NYSolar Smart November Newsletter” that
described initiatives and incentives to expand solar power production and
utilization in the State of New York. Especially if a picture is worth a
thousand words, then the NYS newsletter did not hold a candle (nor solarpowered light) to the “Israel21C Newsletter” (Vol. 692!) - that I also just
received - which “… offers topical and timely reports on how Israelis from
all walks of life and religion, innovate, improve and add value to the
world… show[ing] how Israeli efforts have contributed incalculably to the
advancement of health-care, environment, technology, culture, and global
democratic values worldwide.” The lead article featured the development
of an eTree – a “revolutionary ecological installation from Israel’s Sologic
[that] provides free wireless Internet, charging stations for electronic
devices, nighttime lighting, and water coolers for humans and dogs – all
powered by a ‘canopy’ of solar panels.”
In the spirit of “Maaseh Avot Siman LaBanim – the actions of our Biblical
ancestors are models for subsequent generations” - back in his days of
yore, our patriarch Abraham had already planted in Be’er Sheva an
“eTree” – an “eshel tree” (Gen. 21:33) Rashi cites the Midrashic views that
the eshel was either an orchard that produced the fruit from which
Avraham and Sara would feed their continuous stream of visitors, or the
inn itself in which the guests would stay. In his commentary to the Talmud
(Sota 10a – Sunday-morning shiur, stay tuned), Rashi further observes
that eshel – alef, shin, lamed – can be an acronym for the services and
arrangements that Avraham and Sara provided: akhila (eating), shetiya
(drinking), and either lina (sleeping accommodations) or levaya (escorting
upon the guests’ departure). It was only upon the basis of this hospitality
that Avraham could effectively deliver on the second portion of that verse –
Vayikra sham be-Shem Hashem E-l Olam – calling out in the name of the
L-rd, bringing society closer to a belief in G-d. Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Lawrence Teitelman
