A Message from Rabbi Weinberger Candle Lighting 5:43 pm ת הדלקת נרות

בש

ב ער

The Gemara Zevachim (116a) relates that at the time of תורה מתן the nations of the world felt a

commotion and went to seek counsel from בלעם.

They asked him if another מבול was coming. He told them that they need not worry, based on the pasuk in Tehilim 'ול ה ב ב למ ב יש לך ה' ויש לעולם מ , Hashem sat enthroned at the flood, Hashem sits

as King forever. This pasuk alludes to the fact that Hashem already took an oath to never bring a flood again. Rather, explained בלעם, the sounds they heard were the triumphant sounds of Bnei Yisrael receiving the Torah.

What was it about תורה מתן that resembled the מבול in the eyes of the other nations? Rav Meir Shapiro answers this question with a question of his own. The Navi Yeshayahu (11:6), in describing the days of Mashiach, says ב זאב וגר ר ש עם־כ י ונמ ד ץ עם־ג ירב , The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the kid. The scene of the wolf and lamb sitting harmoniously together has become one of the better known images of the המשיח ימות . (Usually on my trips to zoos the big cats are sleeping. However, on a trip to the Turtle Back Zoo this past Chol Ha’Moed, a leopard leaped out of its crouch right at me and my daughter. We both jumped back for our lives, notwithstanding the giant glass wall in-between us. It was a good reminder of their ferocity!)

Rav Meir Shapiro asks why does the Navi treat this scene like something special? Didn’t this already happen once before? Didn’t all the animals get along on the תיבה? As far as we know there were no deaths on Noach’s ark. So, what’s the big chiddush of the wolf and lamb living side by side המשיח בימות ? Rav Shapiro suggests that

while the animals did get long on the תיבה, the harmony among

them during the מבול was born out of necessity. They were facing a crisis and had no choice but to make it work for the duration of their time on the תיבה. As soon as they got off, though, the predators went back to hunting their prey.

But there is another type of אחדות that exists as well, and that is the bond forged by those who share a common goal. The nations of the world recognized a unique אחדות among Bnei Yisrael at the time

of מתן תורה but didn’t know the source of it. So, they feared the worst. Perhaps another calamity was imminent and that is what brought the Jewish people together. Seeing their fear, בלעם explained, that they need not worry because this was a different event and a different kind of אחדות altogether.

R’ Weinberger continued from page 1 Rav Meir Shapiro was no stranger to the power of unity

brought about by a common goal. Among other things, he is famous for being the initiator of the Daf Yomi program. For those who were at the Siyum Ha’Shas in January (which feels like it was 7½ years ago at this point…) one of the common themes shared by the מסיימים was how rewarding it was knowing that they were in it together with thousands of Jews all across the globe. That type of אחדות adds an element of vitality to a person’s life.

We are now at the beginning of the new Jewish year, תשפ"א. Let’s build on the tremendous togetherness we all experienced in this very strange, but beautiful, Yamim Noraim season. In a way, it was certainly easier to feel connected to others when it was a smaller, more intimate tzibur. But we should not forget the power of being part of a large tzibur, such as our own. Some might suggest that the forecast for the upcoming months is quite murky. I prefer to view it as a blank canvas. We truly have no idea how everything will continue to unfold, but with uncertainty comes opportunity. Hopefully, we can all use our ingenuity, dedication to Hashem and commitment to one another to continue to find ways to make the most of this upcoming year.

Beis Medrash Committee Join us for Manny Freed z”l Parent Child Learning at its new

time, 4:05 pm in the Ogden tent.

Mishna Yomit is learning Masechet Keilim.

CBY Covid Safety Protocols As the weather gets cooler, CBY's Medical Committee has been discussing ways to ensure the safety of our members in the coming winter months. These recommendations and guidelines are formulated based on information and advice available as of October 2020. They also take into account recommendations disseminated by the OU, released just before the Yamim Noraim. All recommendations apply to both CBY members and non-members who enter shul. As always, our shuls and communities should follow, at a minimum, the guidelines provided by local and national authorities, including the CDC and local health departments. By-and-large, our shul has been a model of compliance with public health recommendations during this crisis. This is profoundly inspiring and represents a true kiddush Hashem and affirmation of our choosing life. By working together and adhering to the following guidelines, we hope to ensure that our shul remains safe. 1. Health: No one with a fever or symptoms of COVID-19 may attend any event at CBY. 2. Masking: Masking is required at all indoor and outdoor minyanim. Masks should cover both nose and mouth. There are no exceptions. 3. Seating Plans: In addition to masking, we continue to urge social distancing, leaving six feet between seats occupied by non-family members. There are blue stickers in the New Main sanctuary which indicate where people should sit to ensure a safe environment. In other locations throughout the shul and outside chairs are spaced appropriately; please do not move or add seats in these locations. In the Ogden Tent we have put out chairs in groups of two to allow one chair for sitting and one for tallis/tefillin/chumash etc. 4. Adding Minyanim: Our shul administration, Rabbis and gabbaim have begun providing additional minyanim based on the increased need as the cold and rain necessitate. In addition to more indoor minyanim, plans for a second heated tent are in the works. Each minyan will have a captain who will determine if there is a need to add a simultaneous minyan elsewhere to avoid crowding. 5. Ventilation & Duration: Efforts, including consultation with HVAC experts, have been made to ensure proper ventilation of the space. Masking, distancing, and ventilation reduce risk but do not eliminate it. Every individual who chooses to daven inside must be aware of this risk and signs are posted to this effect. We do suggest N95 masks for those individuals at increased risk as they are proven to be safer in most studies. 6. Avoiding Crowding: While in shul, as well as while entering and exiting, congregants should maintain social distance. 7. Any individual returning from travel from a state defined as "impacted states" by the State of NJ (access up to date list HERE) may not attend any minyanim or events (whether indoors or outdoors) at Bnai Yeshurun for 2 weeks upon return. Additionally, any individual returning from international travel from a country listed as Level 2 (moderate) or Level 3 (high) risk, as defined by the CDC Travel Recommendation list (accessible HERE), may not attend any minyanim or events (whether indoors or outdoors) at Bnai Yeshurun for 2 weeks upon return. As of the writing of this email Israel is defined as Level 3 on the CDC listing. Please note that these lists may change daily and therefore must be checked upon return from travel for confirmation. 8. In the event that a member or non-member tests positive, we will send out a communication to the entire shul with that information. We will not identify the member or non-member by name but will attempt to report where (at which minyan) and when that person davened at CBY. Each individual in that minyan should then reach out to their doctor to discuss their individual need for quarantine. We request that any person who davens at a CBY minyan (either indoor or outdoor) communicate with the office ([email protected] or 201-836-8916 ext.5) in a timely manner in the event that they test positive for COVID. We are trusting our members and other attendees to follow this practice. If you have any concerns related to a violation of this policy, please speak with the Gabbai of that minyan or please inform the shul office.

Teen Department – A Message from Rabbi Jonathan Schachter “What a Big World!”

When Noach was commanded to build the teiva, he was told to include a tzohar as its source of light. Rashi quotes two possibilities as to what this “tzohar” might have been – either a window or a unique stone that emitted light. What shortcoming did Rashi find in the simple explanation that it was a window, which forced him to offer the more unusual explanation of the miraculous, light-emitting stone? Following the flood, HaShem assures Noach that “He will not curse the ground any more for man’s sake … and that cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (Bereishis

8:21,22). This verse implies that during the flood, day and night did cease to function. The earth, during this time, resembled the earth at the very beginning of creation, prior to the creation of light. We are told that at that stage, “the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the depths, and a Heavenly wind was hovering over the surface of the waters” (Bereishis 1:2). If the purpose of the flood was to restart the world, it would make sense that the world would revert back to its original state of darkness and flooding. If that were true, what would be the point of having a window to bring in light? A miraculous, light-emitting stone would do a much better job! But what about the first opinion? Why install a window in the teiva if the earth was in a primordial state, without outside light? The Gemara (Berachos 34b) teaches us that a shul must have windows. “Al Yispallel adam ella ba’bayis she’yeish bo chalonos.” Rashi explains that windows allow us to take in a glimpse of HaShem’s vast universe and contemplate His powers of creation. This in turn will humble us and prepare our minds and hearts for a more inspired tefilla. However, Rav Avraham Yitzchak Hakohen Kook offers a different explanation for the purpose of a shul having windows. The windows remind the people sitting on the inside that there is a whole world beyond the walls of the shul for which they must daven. There are people who are sick and unable to come to shul. There are communities and cities experiencing famines and fires. The country and people of Israel are always in need of our thoughts and prayers. The windows of the shul remind us to think about the rest of the world when we daven. Perhaps we can apply Rav Kook’s idea to the window of Noach’s teiva. Chazal fault Noach for not pleading with HaShem to overturn the decree of the flood, and perhaps the “tzohar” of the teiva was a way to guide Noach to think beyond the walls of his own safety. For as long as he was in the teiva, the window reminded Noach that the rest of the world was suffering. As isolated as he was in his teiva, he needed to realize that he was part of a world that had disappointed God and therefore needed to be recreated. This way, when he would eventually emerge from the teiva, he would be better prepared to empathize and assist others in a way that he had not done before the flood. The story is told that a student approached Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel (1943-2011) and asked for what he should daven. Rav Finkel answered in all of two words, “someone else.” These days, many of us are davening outdoors, but even if that is not the case, we must use the windows of our shuls and homes to remind ourselves of the many individuals and communities who are in need of our prayers. We might not be able to solve all of the world’s problems, but we know of SOMEONE who can, and we speak to Him three times a day!

Virtual Youth Wing! Noach in “Hashtag” Form

• The world had fallen into the deep depths of corruption, promiscuity, and immorality. #GASP! HaShem wasn’t too happy with the way things were going, so, after giving humanity over ten generations to do teshuvah, HaShem said #EnoughIsEnough. #PatienceIsAVirtue #Avot5:2

• As a result, HaShem decided to send a huge flood the #GansaOilam. #HotTub #WeShouldProbablyDoTeshuvaNow #LikeActually

• Noach, the #Tzadik, was told by HaShem to build a specific type of ark for himself and his family. #RowRowRowYourBoat He was also told to collect animals and birds to bring along with him. Seven pairs of each kosher species and one pair of each non-kosher species. #Yummy #TheFloatingZoo

• The flood rain lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. #SoundFamiliar? The water flooded the earth and stayed put for another 150 days. Eventually, the ark settled on Har Ararat, and Noach sent out a raven, and eventually a dove, to see if there was dry land. #Yayyy #DryLAND #Ahoy The jealous raven didn’t do its job, yet the dove did, and discovered land on its third scouting mission. It took the earth one full year to fully dry. #ItBeDry #VeryDry

• HaShem then told Noach to leave the ark. Noach offered korbanot and then HaShem promised to never do anything like this again. #TasteTheRainbow HaShem also created the different seasons! #SeasonsGreetings When Noach decided to plant a grape vineyard, he consumed a little too much grape juice. Afterwards, one of Noach’s children, Cham, didn’t treat Noach with respect. Noach wasn’t a #HappyCamper. #KibbudAvVa’Em #RespectDat

• Parshat Noach ends off with the story of the Tower of Bavel and then records a detailed list of the generations from Noach to Avram. #IBelieveICanTouchTheSky #TheWarOfTheWorlds #Generations

*****************************

A Mini-Vort From the Szafranski Table to Yours!

• The passuk says: “ה ב ה לת עש הר ׀ ת you shall make a ,צ“ �הרצ ” for the ark.” Rashi explains that “הר can ”צeither refer to a window, or to a precious stone which illuminates. Interestingly enough, the word ה ב תdoesn’t only mean “ark,” it can also mean “word.” The Baal Shem Tov, in his holy fashion, teaches “ הר ׀ צ

ה ב ה לת עש ה) one must make all of their words ”,ת ב (תinto a הר a source of light and joy in this world. We ,צhave a limited amount of words, let's use them wisely! (Tzavaas HaRivash; Amud HaTefillah; Noam Elimelech).
