Parshas: Vayeilech

Vayelech opens with Moses walking through the Jewish camp on the final day of his life to say goodbye to his beloved people. He teaches them the mitzvah of Hakel, the once-in-seven-years gathering of the entire nation to hear the king read certain passages from the Torah. G-d commands that a special Torah, written by Moses, be placed by the Levites at the side of the Holy Ark to bear witness against Israel if they were to ever deviate from its teachings.

Shabbos Shuva

The Shabbos between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called Shabbos Shuvah, Shabbos of Return because its special haftarah reading begins with the words Shuvah Yisrael "Return O Israel," from the prophecy of Hoshea. It is also referred to as Shabbos Teshuvah because it falls during the Ten Days of Repentance.

The prayer service on this Shabbos is the same as on an ordinary Shabbos with the exception of the additions that are made to the Amidah throughout the Ten Days of Repentance. Avinu Malkenu is not recited. In the blessing at the end of the Magen Avot prayer following evening services on Friday night, the words ha-Melech ha-Kadosh are substituted for ha-El ha-Kadosh. It is customary for the rabbi to expound on matters related to teshuvah.

NHBZ President’s Message My wife Peggy, our family and I wish you the sweetest of New Years. I am humbled and honored at the opportunity to serve as your president. Thank you to each and every one of our members for ensuring the health and vitality of our Shul. We rely on your active support so that we can continue to inspire, educate and create a sacred place for all our community. Rosh Hashanah and teshuvah are annual reminders of the possibilities to renew our relationship with HaShem and with each other. Nusach Hari B’nai Zion is a family, and like the members of a family, we all have responsibilities. At this time of year, it is appropriate to think not only of what the Shul can do for you, but to think of what you can do for the Shul. Feel free to reach out to me and the other officers and members of the congregation’s board. Volunteer to serve on a committee. Attend the many classes we offer. I assure you that you will get far more out of it than the time you put in.

Your Yom Kippur pledge will allow us to continue to be a welcome home to all in the NHBZ family. It is my fervent hope that each of us discover a new sense of possibility, a new belief in the gifts we have to offer and share, a renewed commitment to our Judaism and to our Shul. May each of you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.

Jay B. Umansky, President

The Yom Kippur Sandwich Most of us are familiar with the advice to offer a rebuke in the form of a “criticism sandwich”–-first a compliment, then disapproval, followed by more praise. We can also apply this idea in advance of Yom Kippur, as suggested in an aish.org article by Ahava Spillman, “The Yom Kippur Sandwich,” where she explains…

Before Yom Kippur begins, write down 10 things for which you are grateful. When we express appreciation, it actually boosts our physical and emotional wellbeing, changing our perception from negative to positive. Try it! Give thanks for the people you love and those who love you, for your work and colleagues, for happy times as well as challenging ones, for your health, your house, the charity you can give, etc. That’s the first slice of your Yom Kippur sandwich.

Now comes the second slice—the stuff you’re asking of G‑d. Write down 10 things you need for yourself and others—your niece who wants a baby, your sister who requires a miraculous recovery, your friend who needs to find a job, or your buddy who’s depressed. Share the blessings this year. Take a little time and consider those you know who could use a helping hand.

So what is the “meat” of the Yom Kippur special? The resolutions, the things we commit to change. Unlike typical New Year’s resolutions, which often concern weight, fitness or eating habits, our Yom Kippur resolutions are spiritual in nature. Cardiovascular workouts keep the heart pumping, but charity given with gusto will certainly increase your blood flow. Weightlifting may widen your biceps, but using those arms to embrace your children or a sick friend will undoubtedly raise your self-esteem. And stretching, considered imperative to any conditioning regimen, can certainly be interpreted to mean expanding your limits to include another mitzvah. So go ahead, write down 10 things you commit to do differently this coming year.

This Yom Kippur sandwich will make your holiday a truly holy day without transgressing any laws. So sometime mid-afternoon when you’re feeling a bit peckish, this “spiritual sandwich” is sure to infuse your Yom Kippur with deeper meaning.

Thanks to all who helped support Sisterhood’s

by wishing L‘Shana Tova to all in our NHBZ family.
