While both administrations agree that Iran is controlled by radical Islamic fundamentalists, they disagree on what is the best approach to halt, contain and stop their quest to achieving nuclear proliferation and avoiding a nuclear arm’s race in the dangerous Middle East. The White House administration believes that through allowance and compromise, they will win co-operation and achieve a temporary halt and circumvention for 10 years. The Israeli government strongly contends that when confronting a regime that is guided by radicalism it must be countered with the same measure of uncompromising principles of justice, thereby insisting that Iran’s nuclear capabilities be significantly dismantled before lifting any sanctions. SATURDAY APRIL 4 Morning Services (with Choir on March 26) 9:00 a.m. Evening Services – 7:00 p.m. SECOND SEDER conducted after Evening Services Candle Lighting after 8:12 p.m. from existing flame When it comes to conflict resolution Judaism has a unique approach. The Talmud often favors Peshara Compromise over finding the exact right Judgment especially when the exact right is not easily clear at all, so in matters of complex civil and economic disputes you will find Jewish law leaning on the side of compromise, but when a principle is at stake there is a paradigm shift in the law. THURSDAY APRIL 9 EVE OF SEVENTH DAY OF PASSOVER Evening Services – 7:00 p.m. Candle Lighting – 7:14 p.m. Studying in Yeshiva I was deeply moved by the law articulated in the Talmud: “A group of people are walking along a road when they are stopped by heathens, who say to them, “Give us one of you and we will kill him. If not, we will kill all of you.” Let them all be killed, and let them not surrender one soul from Israel”. Palestinian Talmud, Terumot 8:10. FRIDAY APRIL 10 Morning Services – 9:00 a.m. Evening Services – 7:00 p.m. Candle Lighting Friday after 7:15 p.m. from existing flame SATURDAY APRIL 11 Morning Services (with Choir) 9:00 a.m. Sermon and Yizkor – 10:30 a.m. Evening Services – 7:10 p.m. PASSOVER ENDS 8:21 p.m. CHOMETZ MAY BE EATEN AFTER 9:21 p.m. Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel Egypt and its economy. The plagues forced Pharaoh to sit at the negotiation table with Moses: Pharaoh broken and desperate declared “I will let your people go, your youth and your elders your sons and your daughters may go to serve G-d but your flocks and your cattle must remain.” This offer represented 95% of what Moses first demanded of Pharaoh - a clear victory – yet, Moses refused and insisted in the next verse that “not a single hoof will remain” (“Lo Teshaer Parsah”). Though many Jews argued to accept the deal, Moses remained steadfast because when fighting for the principle of justice there is no room to compromise and thus give dignity to the unjust. Here history has proven over and again that when the righteous stand up, truth and justice prevail. Lieba and I would like to wish all our members and friends A Chag kasher Vesameach. Rabbi Asher Jacobson Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz TBDJ When it comes to right and wrong, good and bad, the Torah has always guided us to establish clear lines called Havdalah distinct separation. When we as a society allow a criminal to commit a half crime, instead of protecting the innocent, we are perverting justice and for Justice to endure its principles must be preserved. Throughout history, radicals gave Jewish communities an ultimatum to either submit their principles or face expulsion and annihilation. Many Jews refused to forego their faith, and though precious lives have been lost in the process, the principles were not only kept intact, but they shined even stronger for the next generation. At the Passover table, let us recall the pinnacle moment when Moses stood before Pharaoh – when truth spoke to power – in the quest to bring dignity to all mankind, After nine plagues the Egyptians were weakened by heavenly sanctions that crippled Rabbi Asher Jacobson The Chevra DAY OF LEARNING II Date: Thursday, May 21, 2015 Time: 10 am until early evening Location: Gelber Center at Federation Cost: $26.00 per person Food: A light breakfast and filling lunch R.S.V.P. by return email Laurent Bensemana larrybens@ndexsystems.com Please advise of your intentions and of course pass the word around! EMAIL ADDRESS If you would like to be part of the Rabbi's email list, please send your email address to rabbi@thechevra.ca Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel 3 President's Message As this long and cold winter (at least for those of us that remained at home in Montreal) comes to an end, we all begin to turn our minds to the spring. Spring has traditionally been the season representing a time of phenomenal renewal. The earth seems to reawaken from its slumber, and explodes with new life. In our own lives, spring can be symbolic of starting new projects, sewing new seeds and coming forth with new ideas. With the arrival of spring, and the return of so many of our members from down South, we begin now to re-focus our attention to re-invigorating our shul. As a new President, I have spent the last several months, together with my fellow new Executive and Trustee members, learning about our shul and its operations and personnel, and trying to meet as many of our members and friends as possible. I have come to learn that our shul benefits from a strong core of members who support us in many different ways, some as regular attendees, some as casual participants, and others just financially. Some of us have a long history with the shul and others do not. I have also observed that although we are an Orthodox shul by denomination, many, if not most of us, are not observant but find ourselves on a wide spectrum of religious belief and practice. What binds us together is also multi-faceted, but ultimately it boils down to the joy we feel coming together at shul and the pleasure and fulfillment we derive from being within its walls. Whether you are a regular at shul or not, we are hoping that our spring/summer calendar of events will give you multiple reasons to come to the shul to meet new people and to become more comfortable and more entrenched in your spirituality, Jewishness, love of Israel and general well-being. We will be offering a wide range of programs, including Yoga, Hebrew classes, book reviews, Jewish cooking classes with Chef (Cantor) Isaac, a Jewish/Israeli sing-along, classes on explaining the basics of the siddur and many more. We are also always looking for ways to make services more accessible and, yes, enjoyable for you. While the chazzanut may be beautiful and the Rabbi’s sermons extraordinary, we know that we could be doing more to fill our sanctuaries. Our goal is simple: to see you more often in shul and to have you benefit more from your shul in whatever ways are meaningful and enjoyable to you. I sincerely hope that you will take the time to peruse through this edition of the Scroll, read our email bulletins, like us on Facebook and visit our website (www. thechevra.ca) to keep abreast of all that we are trying to do for you, and that you will give yourself the chance to let the shul become a home for you and your family in whatever way is meaningful for you. As the African-American writer Harriet Ann Jacobs wrote: “The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.” I truly hope that this spring will be a season of renewal, revival, good health and happiness for all of you and your families and, indeed, a Chevra spring for us all. We are committed to doing all that we can to see more of you in shul more frequently. For those who are motivated On behalf of myself, my family, and the Executive and primarily by religious beliefs, attending shul is already a Board of Trustees of the Chevra, I wish you all a Happy part of your life and we hope the shul will continue to be Passover, a Chag Sameach and a Goot Yomtov! meaningful to you, as led by our dynamic, learned and inspirational Rabbi Jacobson and our gifted, talented and Arnold Cohen welcoming Cantor Epstein. But for many of us, coming to services is a 3-day a year event, with perhaps some extra days added for holidays, milestone or life cycle events. For those less religiously inclined, I understand how a synagogue can feel like somewhat of a foreign place and would not be a natural draw for spending your time. We aim to try and address just that. 4 Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel MiShenichnas Adar Marbin BeSimcha Purim 2015 When the month of Adar arrives we increase the joy and happiness. We the Chevra Chesed Committee in conjunction with the Sisterhood under the leadership of Sally Raicek have started the month of Adar with the preparations for our annual Mishloach Manot Project. The initiative started with Hamantashen Baking under the direction of Donna Cohen Hersh. Ladies came in on a Sunday morning February 22nd and happily started to prepare the Hamantashen. The preparations continue with the joy and happiness of receiving wonderful donations of treats from the following sponsors: Galerie au Chocolats, Mandeli, Pizza Pita, Rocky Montana, and Kosher Quality, without your support our Purim initiative would not be so successful. Thank you so much. On Monday morning before Purim the real excitement started. The Raicek Hall was set up with tables, treats, gift bags, tissue paper and ribbon. Ladies were chatting, laughing and preparing the gift bags with simcha. This was truly a labour of love and happiness. Volunteers were arriving as scheduled and joyfully started to pick up the bags that were to be delivered. In no time at all the bags were packed and delivered and our mission was accomplished. Joy and happiness was to get the feedback from the recipients and their families. The appreciation was beautiful; it was well worth the effort. A hearty Yasher Koach – Todah Rabah to the following volunteers for all their effort: Terri Allister Miriam Ayele Doreen Brown Simcha Miriam & Sara Binstock Belle Burak Cantor Yitzhak Epstein Zemira Epstein Cyna Fayer Frances Freeman Kathy Gardos Ruth Hubermann Iris Lieberman Rick Mackenzie Grace Matthews Gill Mazaltarim Robbie Miller Clara Pinda Denise Popliger Minkie Silverstone Allan & Dr. Gloria Tannenbaum Pat Sweeney Purim Sameach, Marsha Epstein, Chair Chevra Chesed Committee Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel 5 Purim at the Chevra What an amazing time we all had at the Chevra Purim Party over two hundred of us celebrated the joyous holiday in style. The festivities kicked off with a fun filled carnival for the children. We thank Mendel and Riki Jacobson for the wonderful job they did in running this program. Everyone then proceeded to the Sanctuary to hear the Megillah of Esther and truly got into the holiday spirit. This was followed by a wonderful catered meal with open bar. We thank Chef Reda and Cantor Epstein in planning the menu. Dan Abitbol got everyone dancing with great music and lots of fun, there were some sixty children in attendance wearing the most incredible costumes, all had a great time! Special thank you to Leiba Jacobson for her hard work in planning this event. We look forward to seeing everyone next year. Beit Hazikaron Passover follows another happy holiday, Purim. One may ask what makes Passover so happy, too? Yes, most of us love the delicious matzo balls, fancy dinner, and family gatherings. However, it portends a much more important message; freedom from slavery, looking forward to a new life of our own doing and a better tomorrow with the help of Hashem. One of the ceremonies, Maggid, will retell the story to us and our children and grandchildren. Tomorrow is the word I would like to delve on: "And it shall come to pass that your child will ask you tomorrow, “What is this?” And you shall tell him with a mighty hand G-d took us out of Egypt". In any realistic and contemporary sense it means to us, that we live in a beautiful country, still enjoying life with all the daily pains, bad news and uncertainties. It means that we can still soon come to our Sunday get-togethers, and so on. Tomorrow, in a distant and overriding sense, begs for an answer: what will tomorrow bring? Not so much to ourselves, but to our descendants. Will G-d's miracles take us out of the danger surrounding us all over the world, as He liberated us from slavery. While we are welcoming the approaching Passover, the spring and all the returning snowbirds, we believe, that G-d's miracle will come in our time. Wishing all our members a happy and joyful Passover Beit Hazikaron WEEKLY TALMUD CLASS A potential convert once came to the great sage, Hillel and asked him, “Can you teach me the entire Torah on one foot?” Hillel’s response was, “Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, now go and study.” This became the Golden Rule of Hillel, The rabbis note that Hillel’s statement, “Now go and study” is part of the Golden Rule; for to live by the Torah values, they must be studied and internalized. Every week we will learn a new topic on “Ethics and Business According to Jewish Law” at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg 1501 McGill College Avenue 26th Floor. Lunch is available for $10. Kindly RSVP (by 10 am Thursday) by return e-mail to rabbi@thechevra.ca, if you would like lunch! Please note: This class is now certified under The Barreau du Quebec, Credits will be given to all lawyers whose names are listed on the ‘Formulaire de Redevances’.

Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel 7 Shabbat Shira 2015 CONGREGATION CHEVRA KADISHA B’NAI JACOB-BEIT HAZIKARON-BETH HILLEL 5237 Clanranald, Montreal, Canada H3X 2S5 Tel; 514-482-3366; Fax; 514-484-1607 www.thechevra.ca Rabbi Cantor Rabbi Emeritus Beth Hillel Rabbi Emeritus Executive Director Choirmaster Asher Jacobson Yitzhak Epstein Meyer Kizelnik Benjamin Hauer Alys Geiger Yossi Milo EXECUTIVE Arnold CohenPresident Jeff Frank Vice President Leo Hubermann Vice President Sanford M.

Shabbat Shira is one of the most joyful days of a great Shabbat of prayer and song filled with cantorial melodies, prayers combined with Chassidic and popular composers, lebedic and freilech songs adapted in the prayers from our rich heritage of music. The power of the holy songs is well demonstrated that even below zero, close to 200 members and friends show up and say “we want real music”, we want the music which is combined with prayer and songs, which come from the heart, songs from the Torah portion that we read on Shabbat Shira morning in all synagogues, “Az Yashir Moshe Uvenei Yisrael”, the song that Moses and the children of Israel sang when crossing the sea to become a nation. This is the song that is alive. This is the prayer and hope with which we conclude each service, of the evening, morning and afternoon prayer “Sheyibone Bais Hamikdosh Bimhera Beyameinu”, may the Temple be speedily restored in our days, at which time G-d will reinstate the Levites, who served in the Temple, with prayers and song. Am Yisrael Chai. We take this opportunity to thank Maestro Yossi Milo and the Choir for their outstanding contribution, Rabbi Asher Jacobson for his uplifting sermon and to our Gabbai Allan PRESIDENT'S Advisory Council Tannenbaum for his continued dedication to Shabbat Shira. Last but not least to our Mish Granik Sally Raicek members and sponsors, who helped make Shabbatt Shira the “Shabbat” at the Chevra. Daniel S.

This past December 15 2014 over 600 of the Who’s Who gathered at the Hilton Meadowlands in New Jersey. The dinner was emceed by Saturday Night Live’s Joe Piscopo. The keynote address was delivered by Senior New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, followed by a steering and inspiring speech by the Ambassador of Israel to the United States Ron Dermer. The Bedzow’s were introduced by their grandson Dr. Jason Shapiro highlighting that he is the oldest of eight grandchildren who are lighting up the world each in their way like the menorah of Chanukah. A special video was prepared in which Mr. Charles Bedzow recounts his battle against the Nazis as a partisans in the Bielski brigade and his fight for Jewish life. Mrs. Sally Bedzow was then called to the podium to address the crowd and in her gracious and elegant manner thanked everyone for their support and generosity. Our very own Rabbi Asher Jacobson flew in to the event and sat with the Bedzow family for this special occasion representing our Shul. Also honoured that night was Mr. Philip R.Sellinger ESQ co-chair of Global Litigation Greenberg Traurig, LLP.

The Omer was a special offering of barley gathered from the newly-ripened grain which then permitted the use of the spring harvest. In Temple-times, the harvesting of the Omer on the second night of Pesach, was an occasion for great celebration in the streets of Jerusalem. The counting of the Omer must take place after nightfall, immediately before starting the daily and weekly number in the Omer, we recite the benediction of ‘Al Sephirat Ha-Omer’. These forty-nine days link the festival of Passover, the celebration of our physical redemption with the festival of Shavuot, which occurs on the 50th day, when we celebrate our spiritual redemption, the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai. In the second century of the common era, Eretz Israel was visited by plague. Thousands of the disciples of Rabbi Akiva perished between Pesach and Shavuot. In their memory, this period is observed with partial mourning. During the weeks of the Omer therefore, we do not make weddings nor engage in unusual festivity, nor do we cut our hair. Since the plague is said to have stopped on the thirty-third day of the Omer (Lag B’Omer), these restrictions are suspended for that day. School children suspend their studies and have a day of field games. This year Lag B’Omer occurs on Thursday April 7, 2015. 14 PREPARING FOR THE SEDER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE USED AT THE SEDER ARBA’A KOSOT: Four cups of wine, representing the four expressions of freedom and redemption mentioned in the Bible (Exodus 6:6,7) If wine cannot be tolerated, use grape juice. MATZAH SHMURAH: Matzah prepared from grain which was specially watched since reaping so that it should leaven by becoming moist. It is best to have this special matzah for the Seder. THREE WHOLE MATZAHS are placed on the Seder Plate, representing the Kohen, Levi and Yisrael. MAROR: The bitter herb which recalls how the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors. Use romaine lettuce for Maror, or horse radish root. Wash lettuce very thoroughly to remove any possible bugs - inspect carefully. CHAZERS: The root part of the bitter herb, in original form. Not all Seder Plates contain this item. CHAROSET: A mixture of chopped nuts, apples, Kosher L’Pesach cinnamon and wine, representing the mortar mixed for the slave labour in Egypt and into which we dip the Maror. KARPAS: A vegetable, symbol of springtime and of our freedom. Possible vegetables include celery, potato or onion dipped in salt water, recalling the years of oppression of the Israelites. AFIKOMEN: The piece of Matzoh broken off from the middle Matzoh and hidden away to be eaten at the very end of the meal. It represents the Paschal lamb roasted in the days of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and eaten last so that its savour lingers in our palates. Z’ROA: A roasted meat or chicken bone, representing the Paschal lamb (Korban Pesach) and reminding us of the Almighty’s ‘outstretched arm’ (Z’roa means arm). BEITZAH: A roasted egg, representing the festival offering (Hagigah). CUP OF ELIYAHU: A special wine cup reserved for Eliyahu the Prophet who symbolizes full redemption. _____________________________________________ KITCHEN ITEMS TO BE KASHERED Metal Wine Goblets and Napkin Rings - Hagola (Boiling Water) Metal (uncoated) Water Urn - Hagola Shabbos Blech - Lebun Gamur (Open flame) Metal Colander KITCHEN ITEMS THAT CANNOT BE KASHERED Mixer China Stoneware Porcelain Teflon Plastic Pyrex Silverstone Porcelain Enameled Pots Melmac Corning Ware Knives with plastic Grater (any) Synthetic Rubber For more information please contact our Rabbi: rabbi@thechevra.ca or the VAAD at www.mk.ca Congregation Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob—Beit Hazikaron—Beth Hillel PASSOVER LAWS AND CUSTOMS PASSOVER FOODS A. FOODS FORBIDDEN ON PASSOVER 1. Leavened foods and all foods containing a mixture of leavening. 2. Any food prepared from barley, wheat, cereals, spelt, rice and grits of any kind. 3. All legumes (peas, beans, corn, rice peanuts). 4. Ice cream and syrups, as well as all liquors containing grain alcohol. B. FOODS PERMITTED ONLY UNDER STRICT RABBINICAL SUPERVISION Sodas, milk, butter, cheese and dairy products; also all Passover cakes, cookies and canned goods C. FOOD PERMITTED WITHOUT PASSOVER LABEL All fresh vegetables and fruits (except legumes). ____________________________________________ KASHERING is the manner in which various items used throughout the year are prepared for use during Passover. The laws of Passover prohibit even the smallest trace of Chometz in our food. It is therefore preferable that an entire set of dishes and utensils be set aside for Pesach- use only and never used throughout the year. With certain items however, Jewish Law permits the 'Kashering' (ritual cleaning) of utensils. KASHERING THE STOVE a.) Clean the stove thoroughly and then heat the oven, spits, racks, etc. until red hot. Leave stove-top on for 10 minutes oven for 30 minutes. b.) Special metal sheets or aluminum foil covering are required on top of the range between the burners, for the days of Pesach. KASHERING THE DISHES & UTENSILS a) Metal pots and pans, after a thorough cleaning and nonuse for 24 hours, must be dipped into boiling water or filled with water and heated until boiling over the top of metal utensil. The hot rock is inserted into the large pots, to bring the temperature even higher. b) Glasses are placed in water for 3 consecutive days, changing water each day. This CANNOT be done for glasses used for whiskey. c) Earthenware and porcelain utensils CANNOT be kashered for Passover by any process. Utensils which have glued-on handles, or dents and cracks, CANNOT be kashered. Plastic and Pyrex dishes CANNOT be kashered. Consult the Rabbi regarding use of dishwashers and electric appliances. d) Microwave Ovens should be thoroughly cleaned and not used for 24 hours. A utensil filled with water should be heated in the oven, until a thick steam fills the oven. Wash walls and shelf down with boiling water. Cover the floor of the oven with paper or Styrofoam. f) Counters and tables should be covered for Passover with plastic or other covering. g) Refrigerator/Freezer - thoroughly clean, it does not need to be lined. h) Blender/Food Processor - New or Pesachdik receptacle (anything in which food makes direct contact) required. Thoroughly clean motor. i) Can Opener - Manual or electric - clean thoroughly. j) Counter Tops - Plastic/Formica - Clean and cover for cold food, cardboard or thick cover for hot food. k) Dentures/Bite/Plates/Braces - Clean thoroughly after finished eating Chometz. l) Kitchen Sink - A metal sink can be kashered by a thorough cleaning and by pouring boiling water over it. A porcelain sink should be cleaned and a sink rack used. If, however, dishes are to be soaked in a porcelain sink, a dish basin must be used. m) Chometz and non-Pesach utensils - Non-Pesach dishes, pots, and Chometz whose ownership has been transferred, should be separated, locked up or covered, and marked so as to prevent accidental use. n) Candlesticks - Should not be put under hot water in Kosher-for-Pesach sink. o) Towels / Tablecloths - Those used during the year with Chometz may be used on Pesach if they have been laundered with soap and hot water of at least 160 F. Synthetic materials such as rayon and terylene may be used on Pesach after they have gone through a washing with detergent and only if there are no visible stains after they have been cleaned. p) Tables - A table on which Chometz is eaten during the year may be used on Pesach if it is covered with a waterproof covering (e.g. sheet of plastic). q) Baby High Chair - Thoroughly clean and preferably cover the tray with contact paper. r) REMEMBER to buy new toothbrushes for Passover. s) Go through the medicine cabinet - it often contains Chometz. Alcohol or grain products should be 'sold' with other Chometz. e) Steel surfaces (including sinks) are kashered by cleaning, avoiding use for 24 hours, and then pouring boiling water over them.

But what she discovered after prodding her parents for answers was that her paternal grandparents were in fact Jewish, escaping the former Czechoslovakia on the heels of Nazi occupation during the Second World War and masking their heritage with new Christian identities when they settled in Canada.

Shavuot marks the anniversary of the day when we received the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is the second of the three major festivals (Passover being the first, and Sukkot the third), occurring exactly fifty days after the second day of Passover. This is a biblical holiday complete with special prayers, holiday candle lighting and kiddush. During the course of the holiday we don't go to work, drive, write or switch on or off electric devices. We are permitted to cook and to carry outdoors. The word "Shavuot" means "weeks"; it marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot. During these seven weeks, the Jewish people cleansed themselves of the scars of Egyptian slavery and became a holy nation, ready to enter into an eternal covenant with G-d with the giving of the Torah. The Role of Children When the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shavuot, we experience anew the Sinai transmission of the Torah by G-d. Just as the Sinai Event was attended by every Jewish man, woman and child, so too every Jewish person should make every effort to be present in a synagogue on Wednesday, May 15, 2013, as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah. There is also special significance to bringing children, even the youngest of infants, to hear the Ten Commandments. Before G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish people, He demanded guarantors. The Jews made number of suggestions, all rejected by G-d, until they declared, “Our children will be our guarantors that we will cherish and observe the Torah.” G-d immediately accepted them and agreed to give the Torah. Let us make sure to bring all our “guarantors” along to the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. On this day, we received a gift from Above which we could not have achieved with our own limited faculties. We received the ability to reach and touch the Divine; not only to be cultivated human beings, but Divine human beings who are capable of rising above and beyond the limitations of nature. Before the giving of the Torah, we were a family and a community. The experience of Sinai bonded us into a new entity: the Jewish people, the Chosen Nation. This holiday is likened to our wedding day -- beneath the wedding canopy of Mount Sinai, G-d betrothed us to Him. G d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot, we re-enact this historic moment. G-d re-gives the Torah, and we lovingly reaccept, and reaffirm our fidelity to Him alone. The Torah is composed of two parts: the Written Law and the Oral Law. The written Torah contains the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets and the Writings. Together with the Written Torah, Moses was also given the Oral Law, which explains and clarifies the Written Law. It was transmitted orally from generation to generation and eventually transcribed in the Mishna, Talmud and Midrash. The word "Torah" means instruction or guide. The Torah guides our every step and move through its 613 "mitzvot." The word "mitzvah" means both commandment and connection. Through the study of Torah and fulfillment of mitzvot we connect ourselves and our environment to G-d. G- d's purpose in creating the world is that we sanctify all of creation, imbuing it with holiness and spirituality. On the holiday of Shavuot, the entire Jewish nation heard from G-d the Ten Commandments. The next day Moses went up to Mount Sinai where he was taught by G-d the rest of the Torah -- both the Written and Oral Laws -- which he then transmitted to the entire nation. 18 SATURDAY MAY 23 EREV SHAVUOT Mincha Service Candle Lighting TIKKUN LEYL SHAVUOT 10:30 P.M.
