Parsha Perspective
By Rabbi Yisroel Shusterman
This week’s Parsha Perspective is dedicated in
memory of
Rabbi Dovid ben Azriel HaCohen Katz – Yahrzeit:
9 Tishrei
According to a popular saying, major Jewish
experiences are somehow connected to food. If I may add, where there is food,
there is song... Thus, every Jewish experience is full of song.
From the High Holiday cantorial pieces to the
zemirot sung at the Shabbat table, from the teary-eyed wedding chupah music
to the energetic dancing music that follows, from the Mah Nishtanah at
the Passover Seder to night-time lullabies, the Jewish year is
indeed a musical one.
Why is song such a major player in the Jewish arena?
Rabbi Schneur Zalman, the first Chabad Rebbe
and founder of Chabad Chassidus, once commented, “Melody is the pen of the
soul”. It expresses to ourselves and to others the deepest parts of our hearts
and souls, that which cannot be expressed through the medium of finite
syllables.
Song brings emotion and depth wherever it
enters. It is a journey inward, to one's self, bringing our truest self to the
forefront of our consciousness. It's the marriage between who we are and who we
ought to be.
You don't have to be musically wired to
appreciate the power of a melody. You don't have to hold the title of a singer
in order to sing. All you need is a heart.
The greater part of this week's Torah reading of Ha'azinu (Devorim [Deuteronomy] 32:
1-52) consists of a 70-line "song" delivered
by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his
earthly life.
Why is Moses singing on the last day of his
life? Why was the longest piece of poetry in the Torah chanted on one of the
seemingly saddest days of Jewish history, the day that this greatest Jewish
leader of all time passed on?
Perhaps Moses wanted to leave us with the power
of song. He was leaving his flock, and until the end of times there wouldn't be
anyone like him to guide the nation. So he gave us a tool that would allow us
to find G‑d within ourselves, to create leadership even in the absence of
true leaders. He taught us how to maintain the flame of Judaism whether in the
gas chambers – where Jews sang the Ani Ma'amin ("I
believe!") on the way to their deaths – or sitting at the Shabbat table
with family and friends chanting Shabbat Z’miros!
On his last day of leadership, Moses gave us
the means to persevere: with song.
How appropriate, as well, that this Parsha is
always read just before the holidays of Succot and Simchat Torah, referred to
in our prayers as Z’man Simchoseinu – the Season of our Joy! What
better way is there to express our joy and happiness of being a Jew
than through song!
And very soon, when Moshiach comes,
we will merit to hear the greatest song of all, when we will sing and dance
with G‑d Himself in the most magnificent dance of all time…
(Excerpts from Chabad.org -
by Rabbi Levi Avtzon)
May you have a meaningful and uplifting Shabbos
And a Joyous Succot Holiday!

Yom Kippur Perspective
By Rabbi Yisroel Shusterman
We have now ushered
in a new Jewish year, having taken on new resolutions and goals with which to
enhance our lives, spiritually and meaningfully. Cheder Chabad of Monsey hopes
that these Torah thoughts will help inspire to achieve those goals.
The entire Cheder
Chabad of Monsey family, wish you and your dear ones a year replete with
goodness, prosperity and good health. As the High Priest blessed the Jewish
people on Yom Kippur in the Holy Temple, may we too all be blessed from A to Z with…Abundance, Bounty, Caring, Devotion…and
everything good in between, until we reach… Zion, May all Israel be
redeemed in peace, speedily in our days.
This Perspective is
dedicated by Mr. Binyomin Philipson in memory of his late mother
Mrs.
Ellen (Elka bas Zisel) Philipson OBM
Stand in front of a
full length mirror and take a good look at yourself. You may notice the style
or color of your clothes, the five pounds you recently gained or lost, that
you’re having a particularly good or bad hair day, or the wrinkles that are
slowly forming around your eyes.
But none of that, of
course, is the real you.
We all have layers
that cover up the “real me.” There’s the image that we want to present to the
world, the talents and traits we want others to recognize. And then there’s
even the image that we want to project to ourselves, those layers that hide and
distract from our core inner selves.
But there is one day
of the year that can peel through these layers to discover our core essence.
That day is Yom Kippur.
The Hebrew letters
of the word for HaSatan, the Satan, has a numerical equivalent of 364. In
Jewish theology, Satan isn’t some imaginary devious devil, but refers rather to
the many forces and voices that distract us, tempt us and alienate us from
listening to our real inner selves. The Satan has power over us for 364 days of
the year. But on the 365th day, on the holy day of Yom Kippur, we can
reach a level of self-awareness and oneness. On this day, outer temptations,
diversions, dichotomies, fragmentations, enticements - and whatever blocks our
inner voice from being heard - do not have such a hold. These layers are
stripped away as we finally come face to face with the potent power of our
soul.
It may surface only
for a moment, but in that moment, we regain our perspective and remember who we
are.
As the day
progresses, we approach the last prayer of the day, the Neilah, right at
the close of Yom Kippur. As our stomachs grumble from being ignored all
day - just as we’ve ignored all those other layers of distractions - we reach a
crescendo of awareness.
Neilah means
closing. On a simple level it is the time of day when Yom Kippur is about to
end and the gates of heavens are about to “close”. But Chassidic teachings
explain that at this moment of holiness, we are “closed in”, together with our
Creator. G‑d is not closing the doors on us, but rather enclosing us
in His arms and closing out the layers of distraction that we need to deal with
in our day to day living. We are given the suffusion of energy to go back to
that reality while seeing ourselves just a drop clearer - as a reflection of G‑d.

meaningful and Inspiring Yom Kippur!

This week’s Parsha Perspective is dedicated by Mr.
Binyomin Philipson in memory of his late mother
Mrs. Ellen (Elka bas Zisel) Philipson OBM
At its core, Judaism is about unity: the unity
of the one G‑d, the universe and the unity of all people created in the
image of G‑d. And yet, Judaism also gives the ordinary man an irrevocable right
to his own property—as we see in the Torah’s division of the Land
of Israel to tribes and families, as well as in the command to
celebrate the Jubilee year (where all property is returned to its
original owners every 50 years). The idea of land ownership by definition
creates separation and division within society, contradicting the ideal of
unity. How is it possible for us to live with these opposing ideals in our
philosophy and practice?
This week’s Torah portion, VaYelech, (Devorim [Deuteronomy] 31:1-30) tells
of the last days of Moses’s life. Moses is well aware of this
seeming contradiction between the individual’s right to personal property and
the notion of unity. His people are about to transition from life in the
desert, where there is no ownership of land, to an agrarian life in Israel,
where for the first time, they are to become landowners. Moses knows he has one
final opportunity to teach his people how to balance these opposing ideals.
That is why, on the last day of life, he commands his beloved nation regarding
the Mitzvah of “Hakhel” – the gathering of all Israel to the holy Temple in
Jerusalem on the eighth year, immediately after the Shmittah (sabbatical) year.
In these verses Moses is describing a way to instill the fundamental message of
unity into the hearts and minds of a people who will spend most of their time,
energy and effort working their land. This is done through two commandments: Shemittah,
the sabbatical year during which we are forbidden to work the land for an
entire year, and Hakhel, the gathering in the Temple after the
sabbatical year, when the people are headed back to work for the next six
years.
During the Shemittah year, the seventh year,
every land owner takes a year-long break from working the land, devoting his
time to spiritual pursuits. During that year, all produce that grows in the
field is legally ownerless, and anyone is free to enter any orchard or field to
enjoy its produce. This mitzvah serves as a powerful reminder to the
people that there is more to life than amassing wealth, that their true essence
is the soul not the body, and they have to devote time to feeding the soul,
just as they devote time to feeding the body.
And then, at the end of the long sabbatical,
just as everyone is anxious to get back to working the land, comes the mitzvah
for all the nation to gather in the Temple to hear the words of the Torah.
Moses is telling the people that if they want to be able to juggle the
blessings of private property and the unified existence that is the core truth of
Judaism, then before they get back to the field, they have to reenact the
giving of the Torah at Sinai. They have to gather together—men, women and
children—as at Sinai, when all the children of Israel stood around the mountain
"as one person with one heart," united around the words and teachings
of the Torah. Moses understood that the children, the future generations, also
need to experience this powerful feeling of unity which comes through the
unifying teachings of the Torah, rather than through material blessings, which
can sometimes cause division.
Through these commandments, the people learned
that although they may each possess property and material wealth, they are not
defined, and should therefore not define themselves, by their material possessions
and achievements. Moses was telling each individual: “Although your house may
be nicer than your neighbor's, you are still one. You are one, because your
soul, the core of who you are, is one with your neighbor’s soul. The material
possessions that divide you are nothing more than an external garment. They are
not who you are, and therefore cannot separate you from your friend.”
And then there is us.
We, whose bodies did not stand at Sinai, who
did not stand shoulder to shoulder with the entire nation of Israel at the
reading of the Torah in the Temple, we too must meditate on this message each
year, when the story of Moshe's last day on this earth is read in the
Torah. We must close our eyes and imagine standing with all our brothers and
sisters at the foot of Sinai, listening to the words of G‑d and taking the
message of Sinai to heart.
If, with all our differences, we can define
ourselves as souls sent to this world for a spiritual purpose; if the society
we create values the individual for his or her spiritual essence, then we can
have a unified society. Our homes, fields, cars and retirement accounts may
look different, but we know that we are one, "like one person with one
heart."

Rabbi Menachem Feldman)
