High Holy Days Message – 5781
Some excerpts from the main Shiurim given by Rabbi Yossi Friedman during Yom Kippur.
10 Nisan 5780 – Tzav
Dearest Kehilla Another week has passed, another week of uncertainty as to where the world is headed. I hope you are all managing during this difficult time and I ask that Hashem bless you to stay safe and well. Over the past week I have spoken to many people within our community. Whilst I can’t […]
12 Sivan 5770 – Nasso
How do we inject new feeling into the daily, and sometimes repetitive, actions of life? The Torah portion of this week, Naso, contains over three columns of repetition when it comes to relating the details behind the offerings brought by each of the tribes. Each offering was identical, yet the Torah takes the space to […]
9 Adar II 5779 – Vayikra
I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a happy Purim and I hope to see you at the many events that our Shul will be hosting this coming week! Purim gives us the opportunity to reflect on the dangers to Jewish existence today and how we overcame such threats in times gone […]
2 Adar II 5779 – Pekudei
We had a fabulous weekend last Shabbat with a sold-out Shabbat dinner and a stimulating talk by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach! This week, I would like us to consider the following. We all have two sets of lives. The lives of our dreams and the lives of our reality. The lives that we wished for and […]
18 Adar 1 5779 – Ki Sisa
Beginning Afresh This week we will recount the dramatic story about the aftermath of the golden calf saga and the process of conciliation and forgiveness. “Zeh Yitenu” (“this they shall give”) says the Torah as it prescribes how each Jewish male had to give a half shekel coin as a donation to G-d. Yet it […]
11 Adar 1 5779 – Tetzaveh
How to increase your love How do we increase our love towards another person? How do we enrich our relationships between spouses, family members and friends? It comes down to one action. By giving to them. It is interesting that the construction of the portable sanctuary, the Mishkan, occupies nearly half the book of Exodus. The Rabbi’s […]
4 Adar 1 5779 – Terumah
From our earliest history as a people and as a nation, we have been defined by the concept of Terumah. Terumah refers to the offerings or contributions that we have made, whether to our own internal communities or to the society’s in which we have lived. We have always punched far beyond our weight. Just […]
27 Shevat 5779 – Mishpatim
A lesson in Empathy While slavery is widely seen as abhorrent today, the Torah (Parashat Mishaptim), some three thousand years ago, already contained an ethical code towards the treatment of slaves. The Jerusalem Talmud relates that prior to leaving Egypt, G-d commanded Moses to teach the Jewish nation concerning the ethical treatment of slaves. […]
