Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei and
Parah
The Shela says: on Shabbat people have
time to go to Shule, everybody is looking
after his “Kavod” (respect) that he should
call up to the Torah, and if not, he is going
to show anger to everybody. That's how
the fire of Machloket just light up.
Dear Friends,
What a fantastic Purim week we had! Over
100 people for the Megilah reading on
Wednesday night, Thursday morning at
Kadimah: Megilah, Purim Parade and the
Jews Brothers live music. Finally on Sunday,
the community Purim in the Park with 300
people! Great spirit, and great effort from
so many all around the community. Let's
keep this momentum towards Pesach, only
3 weeks to go!
As a community, we must understand that
the “Shechina” (divine presence) is not
dwelling in a place that has hatred and
Lashon Hara (bad language) amongst the
people. We should treat our friends and
congregants in Shule, as we treat
ourselves, with respect and honour, then
we will succeed as a community, and
Hashem will dwell amongst us, same as in
the days of the Mishkan.
All ladies are invited to the Women's
Kabbalat Shabbat this Friday night at Greys
Ave. Don't forget to bring your husbands
and children to the regular service :)
Beware of Machloket (disputes) like from

This week's Parasha starts with the
commandment to keep the Shabbat, just
before the Torah summarises all the work
in the Mishkan:
Artscroll Torah:
Haftorah:
Mikveh Bookings: 021 714 158
Aviad Cohen: 021 488 030
Yaira Cohen: 021 488 050
"And Moses assembled the entire
assembly of the children of Israel and said
to them: For a period of six days, work may
be done, but the seventh day shall be holy
for you, a day of complete rest for Hashem;
whoever does work on it shall be put to
death. You shall not light fire in any of your
dwellings on the Shabbat day" (Exodus 35,
1-3).

Refuah Shleimah:
Our thoughts are with Malcolm
Silverman and with any other
congregants who are unwell at the
moment.
The Gemara on Shabbat 70a raise
a
question: Why only from all the works that
have been made in the Mishkan, the Torah
mention here only you shall not light fire?
The Talmud gives a halachik explanation to
the question but the Shela Hakadosh (R'
Yishayah Halevi Horowitz 1558 - 1630) –
interprets it differently: When the Gemara
says "went out to divide" it means that the
main character of the fire is to break apart
the stuff it burnt. The Shela says on Shabbat
End of Financial Year
coming up soon.
mostly we have to beware not to light the
fire of Machloket (dispute, divide) and
anger, and we must never light that fire.
Do you have outstanding
subs?
Why especially on Shabbat don't light
machloket?
Please settle.or phone
Accounts urgently.
