EISHET CHAYIL
Our Eishet Chayil Awards are
being presented to three
truly wonderful ladies, who have
given outstanding selfless service
to our congregation over many
years. Whether in the public eye
or behind the scenes, they have
always been there for others and
have been a great inspiration to the
entire community.
Each one is a true and genuine
Eishet Chayil.
JENNY SOSNOW
I am very grateful for being honoured as an Eishet Chayil.
I have been involved in Kinloss since Jehuda and I together with
our children Emma and Marc joined the Community over 36
years ago. During this time we have celebrated many smachot
and have made life long friends.
I was privileged to serve on the Board of Management as the
Minyan’s representative as well as being an active member of
Kadimah Kinloss for over 20 years.
I was appointed as the first administrator for KLC and I continue to participate in a
number of Shul activities including volunteering at the Yom Haatzmaut Breakfasts,
Mitzvah Day and being involved in the kiddush rota.
I really appreciate receiving this award and feel proud to be associated with Kinloss.
Chag Samaech.
SIMA ROSEN
I was born in Tehran and spent my formative years in Iran. My parents
and I moved to London in 1970 and settled in Hendon. We were members
of Hendon synagogue.
I married my husband Eric in 1976, and we moved to Iran with his
job. We lived through the Revolution in Iran and left after Ayatollah
Khomeini came in. We were posted to Papua New Guinea for 9 years
and to Hong Kong for 1 year. Whilst in Papua New Guinea, we found as
many Jews as we could to hold Seder nights at our home, where they
could enjoy our Pesach food which we imported from Sydney, each year.
We came back to London late in 1988. Eventually I followed in my father’s footsteps and started
my own Persian carpets business. For the past 21 years I have been dealing in carpets from my
warehouse in north London. I travel to Iran periodically to source my carpets.
Kinloss has been our Shul since our return to the UK. We have three children, Kimberley, Sarah
and Marc, who had his Barmitzvah in Kinloss, under the supervision of Rabbi Mirvis. Had my
daughters married in England, their weddings would have been at Kinloss too, but one married
in Los Angeles, and the other in Israel. We have 4 grandchildren and the 5th is due in July.
I have been a member of the Persian shul at Kinloss since its inception. I was a member of
the Persian Ladies Guild, under the leadership of Parry Ebrahimoff/Carol Yacobi, and when
they retired I was honoured to be asked to be a member of the new Ladies Guild, under the
leadership of Dalia Hakimian and Michelle Azizollahoff. I am proud to have been able to help
raise funds for various charities over the years through our Ladies Guilds.
I have been involved in our Persian Friendship Club since its inception. It runs twice a month,
and we are very proud to see how very successful it has become..
I am honoured to be chosen to be an Eishet Chayil for 2015, and would like to thank the Persian
community for giving me this honour, and hope to be able to help in any way I can for as long
as I can.
CLARE LESSER
I am thrilled to be honoured by Kinloss in this way. It is a pleasure to
attend a Synagogue with so many varied activities being offered on
a weekly basis.
I grew up at Norrice Lea where my family were regular attenders.
David and I married in 1983 and we joined Kinloss. Having four
children, Howard, Sonia, Yvette and Stuart over a period of seven
years and with the absence of an eruv, I basically stayed at home for
eight years.
Once able to be an active member, I began to become involved.
I have been a volunteer for the ladies security, a member of the Kadimah Kinloss committee,
a member of a kiddush team, welcoming and the Shabbat luncheon club.
Greater responsibility came when weekly kiddushim were introduced. For countless years, I
organised both the food and kiddush teams. Also, Tuesday, Friendship Club day, has been a
huge part of my life for so many years now. I am a regular driver, a hands-on helper during
the Tuesday meetings, and an organiser for the extra activities for our more able members.
As a family we have had the pleasure to celebrate two bar mitzvahs, 2 aufrufs and a wedding
at Kinloss, as well as David being honoured as Chatan Torah.
Working in the Shul office gave me the opportunity to see at first-hand how important it is
for a community to support all its members. One highlight was organising and leading a day
trip to Liverpool which included visits to the magnificent Princes Road Synagogue and the
Tate for a Chagall exhibition. I still have the pleasure of being one of the marriage registrars.
I would encourage every member of our community to become more involved. The rewards
from volunteering far outweigh the time invested.
SHAVUOT MESSAGE 5775
by Rabbi Jeremy Lawrence
Amongst the many Midrashim which discuss God creating the world and the
Torah for Israel, there are those which see Hashem locked in debate with the
Angels.
They contend that humankind is destructive and irresponsible; not to
be entrusted with God’s most perfect gift. What would be the honour in
entrusting a code of good conduct to people who would ignore it and defile
themselves? Surely the Torah belongs in Heaven with the higher, spiritual and
celestial forces.
Moshe argues for Israel. What point could there be in leaving the Torah with
the Angels? Do beings which don’t eat need laws of Kashrut? Do those who
don’t travail need Shabbat? Shmitta and Yovel belong with those who work
the land. Do those who are never tempted need to be warned off dishonesty,
jealousy and all manner of vice?
Clearly the Torah belongs with human beings. It is precisely our imperfection
and our potential to overcome temptation that qualify us. If everything in
the Torah seemed easy or came naturally, we would not have been made its
guardians.
We, particularly, are entrusted with the Torah through the merits of our
ancestors and Shavuot is the anniversary of that God/Israel relationship being
consecrated.
On Seder night we celebrate the Exodus by eating and acting in the spirit of
freedom. We share the narrative with our families.
On Erev Shavuot we should conduct ourselves in the spirit of those beholden to
God. We should take special care with our brachot over food (and depending
on the style of cheesecake it might be mezonot or might be shehkol!) And we
should act the part of those who receive and pass on the Torah – by being both
students and teachers.
Over the Tikkun Leil on Saturday night (and in several other occasions over
the Chag) there will be plenty of opportunity to indulge in blessing, eating,
learning and teaching.
Na’aseh – let us do as Hashem commands – observing, learning and passing
on the mitzvoth. Ve-Nishma – let us come over time to understand why it
is that what God wants of our lives isn’t always straightforward. For in that
challenge is born faith. And in faith do we come to reach out to God, inviting
Hashem’s support and blessings over our lives.
Wishing all members, friends, family and Klal Yisrael a Chag Sameach.
R’ Jeremy Lawrence
Flowers in Shul - by Rabbi Michael Laitner
............................ by Rabbi Michael Laitner
One of the most striking customs of Shavuot is placing flowers in shul, a custom
which some communities perhaps this year see as a chance to continue the
Chelsea Flower Show, closer to home!
The codification of this practice appears relatively recent and predominantly,
at least initially, of Ashkenazi origin. Rabbi Moshe Iserlis (known as ‘Rema’, d.
1572) in Orach Chayim (494:2) proposed the well-known suggestion that the
flowers in shul represent the joy of the giving of the Torah, as flowers adorned
Mount Sinai at the time (see Mishnah Berurah ibid, 10). Since we try in shul on
Shavuot, as best we can, to recreate the atmosphere at Mount Sinai through
reading the relevant passages for the keriat HaTorah, the flowers are a worthy
decoration to amplify this message.
Rabbi Avraham Gombiner (d. 1683) made a different suggestion. The Mishnah
(Rosh Hashanah 1:2), notes that Shavuot is the time when trees are ‘judged’
for whether they will produce a good crop of fruits in the year ahead. This led
to a custom of placing trees in shul to focus us on praying for a bountiful year
ahead.
Trees are not the same as flowers and may have led to opposition by Rabbi
Eliyahu Kramer, the renowned ‘Vilna Gaon’ (d. 1797) to placing trees in shul,
to avoid violating the prohibition of not copying non-Jewish practices, (chukat
hagoy), given the significance of trees for Christians. Perhaps flowers are a
neat way of covering all bases. Chag Sameach!
“Till death us do part” - Kate and Wills both said it, but who were they
quoting? - by Rabbi Leibish Heller
Three reasons are given for why we read the book of Ruth on Shavuot:
.......................... by Rabbi Daniel Roselaar
1. Shavuot occurs in the barley season in which the story of Ruth unfolds.
2. The book of Ruth recounts the ancestry of King David whose birthday and
Yahrzeit are on Shavuot.
3. Ruth’s conversion is reminiscent of the Jewish people accepting the Torah
and entering the Covenant. Here’s a possible fourth reason:
Shavuot is a holiday of nostalgia; nostalgia for that singular moment when a
People stood at the foot of a mountain and, with soaring hearts, made a pledge of
allegiance to the G-d of Israel.
I know of no other quote in all of our literature which captures this sentiment as
powerfully as those timeless words of Ruth: “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people are my
people and your G-d is my G-d. Where you die, I will die and that is where I will be
buried. May the L-rd come upon me evermore if anything but death us do part!
If only we would uncover within ourselves a fraction of Ruth’s faithfulness.
The Ten Commandments - By Rabbi Daniel Roselaar
If you look at the Ten Commandments as they appear in a printed Chumash you
will notice that the musical notation (“trope”) is very crowded. This is because
two sets of notes are superimposed one on top of the other. One set follows the
regular division of the verses, with the pausal etnachta in the middle and the sof
pasuk at the conclusion of each verse. The other, more elaborate, set divides the
entire passage into ten separate commandments and thus, for example, the four
verses which make up the commandment of Shabbat are combined to make one
long sentence.
Different traditions exist about which set of notes should be used when the Ten
Commandments are read in shul. Most communities always utilize the more
elaborate notation, whereas the Vilna Gaon maintained that on the Shabbatot of
Yitro and Va’etchanan the regular notation should be used. The reason why for
this distinction is because on a regular Shabbat the Torah is read as an exercise in
Torah Study and each verse must be read individually. But on Shavuot we are reenacting the experiences of the Jewish People as they stood at the foot of Mt Sinai
and on that occasion the Ten Commandments were communicated as ten distinct
utterances, rather than as a collection of sentences. When we stand in shul this
Yomtov and listen to the reading of the Ten Commandments we should try to feel
as if we are standing at Sinai and we should commit ourselves to the mitzvot of the
Torah just as our ancestors did more than three-thousand years ago.
The Legacy of an Ambitious Thunderstorm - by Lauren Levin
In many ways the Mount Sinai experience defines us as a nation, and thus in its
narrative, the Torah is extremely precise about its description.
After the tenth command we are told,
“And all the people saw the voices and the torches, the sound of the shofar, and the
smoking mountain, and the people saw and trembled; so they stood from afar.” (20:14)
It says that the people saw the voices: how is this possible?
There are those commentators who try to solve the difficulties by suggesting what
the people actually saw. Rashbam (1085-1158) says that the voices refer to the noises
of the thunderstorm, and it was the hail etc. of the storm that they saw! The Rasag
(882-942) also views the description quite literally. He says they saw the actual letters
of the words being uttered inside a flame, rendering the whole experience as quite
spectacular indeed.
Rashi (1040-1105) offers a more abstract explanation. The revelation was so great that
at this time the Jewish people heard what could normally only be seen. The Mt. Sinai
experience was an ‘out of your senses’ experience. At this climax of their religious
journey, they were freed from their normal physical limitations.
We are all too aware of our limitations: those that are inherent within us and those that
society imposes upon us. On Shavuot we aspire to ‘see the voices’ – to reach beyond
the limitations we thought we had, and to become individuals and a community that
we never believed we were capable of becoming.
