Insights from the Rav

within. Without a positive view of others, there’s no way that my heart can become purified. But once I’m able to be of generous spirit with others, I can truly begin to have the positive outlook needed to repair my own heart and make it great.

Furthermore, these two traits of a good eye and a good heart can be associated with the two High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah is known as the holy day of the righteous Yoseph. The Talmud (TB Rosh Hashanah 10b) identifies it as the day he was freed from prison and rose to greatness. Rosh Hashanah also has a universal component, in that this is the day when we pray for the entire world to recognize Hashem and His monarchy. It is the time to look out upon creation, see the great potential within mankind, and unify everyone and everything through our prayers. Yoseph’s ability to “see” the potential of Egypt, as well as the great potential of his brothers despite the way they treated him, was what made him the righteous man he was.

Yom Kippur, by contrast, is a particularistic holy day. It is a day when the Jews specifically are called to repentance and prayer. It represents a repair of our hearts, a return to Hashem and His service. In this sense, Yom Kippur corresponds to Yehuda, Yoseph’s counterpart, and the “heart” of the other brothers. And, whereas Yehuda ultimately emerged as the leader of all the brothers, it was necessary for Yoseph to precede him in order to prepare Klal Yisrael for greatness.

Similarly, concluded the Imrei Emes, our task on Rosh Hashanah is to have a good eye and think about all the potential that exists for the coming year, and to try and include all of humanity within our prayers and hopes for the future. Yom Kippur is the time to assess how, in the event that the world is not worthy, we as individual Jews can make a difference by improving ourselves and creating tikkun thereby.

As we look out upon 5777 and an uncertain future, let’s try and possess both the good eye of Yoseph and the good heart of Yehuda. For Rosh Hashanah, let’s “see” that we all have so much from Hashem for which to be thankful, and we have so much to which we can look forward. For Yom Kippur, let’s focus on all the work we can do in our personal lives to become better people with better hearts.

Karen and I wish you and your entire family a Kesiva V’Chasima Tovah, a sweet and healthy new year.

Rabbi Daniel Korobkin

R’ Yochanan b. Zakai once asked his students to formulate what they felt the most important character trait was (as recorded in Pirkei Avos ch. 2). His two chief disciples differed; R’ Eliezer b. Hyrkanos felt that a “good eye” was the most important trait, whereas R’ Elazar b. Arach professed that having a “good heart” was most important. R’ Yochanan concluded that a good heart includes all positive traits, including having a good eye.

Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter, the Imrei Emes, suggested that while a good heart is the most inclusive important trait, a good eye is the prerequisite to a good heart. A good eye means that when I look out upon the world, I see goodness and potential all around me. Once my view of the rest of humanity is positive, I can start working on my own heart and improve from

From the President’s PenWith over 800 member families we are one of the largest and most vibrant and engaged Orthodox shuls in North America.

An enormous hakarat hatov is owed to our Senior Rabbi, Rabbi Daniel Korobkin for his guidance, vision and leadership and to Karen Korobkin whose warmth, friendship and advice helps so many. Our Assistant Rabbi, Rabbi Zev Spitz, continues to engage the membership and we are all appreciative for what he and Leora Spitz have brought to our shul. Our Rabbinic Assistant, Rabbi Jonathan Ziring enriches our shiurim and minyanim and he and Ora Ziring give to the shul in so many ways.This is a great time to be a BAYT member. We are planning capital improvements to the building. We have multiple daily, Shabbat and chagim minyanim. There are countless shiurim for both men and women. As a kehilla, we are engaged in tikun olam and chessed with the larger community. Our Youth, Adult Education, Sisterhood, Brotherhood and other committees continue to provide increased and innovative programming and events.

Our lay leadership from the Executive to Board to committee co-chairs to committee members to our very many other member volunteers create a unique shul experience that is the product of all our efforts. Please share your ideas for improving our shul experience and please get involved. I can be contacted by email at [email protected], on my cell 416-707-2181 and in person.

Heather and I along with our children Atara & Danny, Ezra, Adina, and Benjamin wish you a ketivah ve-chatimah tovah, a healthy, happy, and successful year.

Melech Tanen

Yankel owned a business that sold materials. Many people would come to buy from Yankel. He had good prices and dealt very honestly with his customers.

One day, a competitor opened a shop just across the road from Yankel. This competitor sold magnificent materials, composed of the most beautiful colors. His prices were very cheap and he sold on credit. Many customers left Yankel and began buying from his competitor.

It did not take long, however, for Yankel’s customers to realize that they had been taken for a ride. The merchandise was of poor quality. The colors faded quickly. While the materials looked very nice from the outside, they were of an extremely inferior quality. To make matters worse, the competitor soon insisted that all bills be paid in full. Unfortunately, Yankel’s customers could not sell the inferior merchandise they had purchased. Yankel’s competitor threatened to have them arrested and imprisoned.

With no other choice, Yankel’s customers returned to Yankel, from whom they had been buying all those years. They apologized profusely to Yankel and then pleaded with him. “We made a terrible mistake and are sorry for having left you. Please provide us with merchandise to sell so that we can pay back your competitor.”

Yankel, who had a generous heart, sold merchandise to all his former customers. And not only did he sell them merchandise; he sold them merchandise on credit. So that they could sell the merchandise and pay his competitor back.

And so it was. The customers bought from Yankel, sold the merchandise and then repaid Yankel’s competitor. When they needed more merchandise, they would come back to Yankel. And Yankel would continue to extend them credit.

Hi All,

We are about to embark on a very exciting journey.The Board of Governors has approved an architectural firm to help guide us through the process of refurbishing and renovating much of our facility. It’s true, if you look at it, given the amount of use that we have imposed upon it, you wouldn’t know that our building is almost 30 years old. And the amount of use, as you all know, is tremendously extensive.

There will be drawings and consultations; wish lists will be drawn-up and meetings galore. The giddiness and anticipation of potentiality will fill the air with excitement. There is something very magical about the creative process with its gradual unveiling as thoughts, wishes and dreams take shape on paper.

The planning stage alone will probably last at least 6 months and will involve many meetings with various committees, members, staff, other stakeholders and the community. Clearly, the difficult part will be trying to compile a workable, aesthetically pleasing combination of as many ideas as possible into one holistic picture; kind of like a giant puzzle.

When all is said and done, we will then have to make the tough choices: what changes can we afford to do now and what must wait for another day. All this with the aim of creating anew our space for our community to share, celebrate and pray together.

The actual work itself will have to be scheduled to impact our services and simchas in as minimal a way as possible. While we will try to be an minimally invasive as possible, the reality we all know is that there will be disruptions and relocations. Elevators may be alternately be down as they are brought up to modern standards; some programs will have to shift and some minyanim may have to combine or find new homes temporarily - not unlike a family who renovate and redecorate some of the rooms of their own house. Our BAYT too will have to be willing to put up with some temporary discomfort for the greater good.

This is a journey that has been close to 30 years in the making and we are finally about to embark upon it. In truth, it’s one that I’m actually quite looking forward to, and I hope you are too.

Mordechai Bookbinder

From our Executive Director

Continued:

Just imagine for a moment. Imagine if after getting back on their feet, not once, not twice, but multiple times, one of Yankel’s customers began buying once again from the competitor. And imagine if that very same customer came back to Yankel each time asking for more goods and more credit. It is very hard to imagine, almost impossible to imagine, that someone would do such a thing. And it is even harder to imagine that Yankel would continue to help such a person.

Every year, we come to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and admit that we made a mistake. We admit that we went to His competitor, to the Yetzer Hara, who sold us materials that looked so nice from the outside. And we admit that it did not take us very long to realize that these materials were of inferior quality. We come to Hakadosh Baruch Hu in debt, with no way of paying. And in most years, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, in His infinite kindness, once again sells us on credit, giving us another year of health, life and happiness.

As we approach the Yamim Noraim, let us internalize and appreciate all of the credit that Hakadosh Baruch Hu extends to us, year after year after year. And let us commit to use that credit to buy materials that are not only magnificent and beautiful, but also meaningful and everlasting.

Leora & I, along with Esther, Yosef and Sarah wish you a kesivah v’chasimah tovah, a year of health, spiritual growth, happiness and peace.

Rabbi Zev Spitz

From our High Holy Days ChairOn behalf of the High Holy Day committee, I extend a warm welcome to the entire BAYT family, and to all our guests who are joining us this year. A special welcome to those who are joining us this year for their first time.

The Yamim Noraim are a time of reflection and renewal, of looking at our past and preparing for our future. We perform a critique of the past year, at what was and what could have been and use that as a yardstick in making our commitments for the year to come. We do this both at a personal level and at a community level.

I am continually amazed by the dedication and generosity of our BAYT family to the community, from providing dozens of weekly minyanim and shiurim to bringing food to the local firehouse, from hosting social responsibility seminars to supporting various programs in Israel. The BAYT family truly is “a light unto the nations”, and may

we merit to continue to shine in the upcoming year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the myriad of volunteers who have contributed their time and expertise over the summer and throughout the High Holy Days. Your dedication to the shul is greatly appreciated.

To our BAYT staff - we cannot overstate how grateful we are

for all that you do for us. We appreciate your diligence in making sure everything runs smoothly, from dealing with ever-changing needs to ensuring every room is set up just right. You have provided us with all the support we could hope for.

On behalf of the Board of Governors and my family, I would like to wish everyone a Ketiva v’Chatima Tova, may we all be blessed with a year of health, happiness, and success.

Fundraising Committee Quarterly Report

It has been a busy year for fundraising at the BAYT!Some of the successful activities that were undertaken this past year include:

• Year 1 of the Capital Fundraising Campaign• 5776 Yom Kippur Appeal• Youth Appeal• Adult Education Appeal

• Simchas Torah Auction • High Holidays Kibbudim Auction• Shalosh Sudos Sponsorship Program

Capital Fundraising CampaignAs a result of the generosity of many of our members, there has now been over $1.15 million pledged to the capital campaign. Factoring in the wonderful matching program provided by the Jewish Legacy Charitable Foundation, we have received total pledges towards the campaign of over $2.3 million and to date we have collected over $980,000 of that total amount!

Our original financial goal for the campaign aggressively targeted an amount of $3M, and although we are extremely appreciative for the generosity of those members who have participated so far, we still need many more familiesv to step up and pledge to the campaign in order for us to reach our goal. To date, just over 30% of our member families have contributed to the campaign. Some people may say that is a very low percentage and very unfortunate – I say that it is a huge opportunity and makes me feel confident that if the remaining 70% of our members pledge to the campaign, we can reach our goal.

Calls and/or emails have gone out to virtually all of the member families and although many have not yet responded, I would encourage each family to respond to these requests or reach out to me directly and pledge to the campaign so we can get this over the goal line.

The BAYT is very important to each and every family and we all benefit greatly from this wonderful institution. Our membership dues, while significant, contribute only towards a portion of the annual operating expenses of the Shul – the capital campaign is intended to address our long term building and property requirements and keep our Shul looking beautiful so it is continues to be a desired venue for Simchas, which, along with membership dues, are a critical component of our operating revenues.

I am more than happy to speak to any members about their contribution and/or answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding the campaign or the use of the funds which you are so generously contributing. Please don’t hesitate to call or email me.

Respectfully submitted,

Mitch Silverstein

This past Shavuot we completed our 20th Annual Siyum, led, once again, by Rabbi Rosenberg. Thank you to Susan and Gabi Friedmann for sponsoring the Sefer presented to all the participants, in memory of Maria Juhasz, a Righteous Gentile, who saved Susan’s mother, Rella Guttman, during the Shoah. Please sign up on line or outside the Simcha suite to participate in next Shavuot’s 21st Annual Siyum.

Please consider joining the 14th Annual Brotherhood Mission to Israel, December 11-19, led by our Rav and Rebbetzin Korobkin. Our Mission visits places and meets distinguished leaders that individuals would be very unlikely to visit or meet on their own. Visits include historical, biblical and archaeological sights, army installations, chesed projects, Chevron and the Galil. Rav and Rebbetzin Taub will join the Mission for Shabbat in Yerushalayim. On Motzei Shabbat we will host a reception for BAYT Olim and our children attending Yeshiva, Seminary, University or Tzahal. You can arrange to have your children in Israel spend Shabbat at the Hotel. For more information, registration and complete itinerary please contact Marcee Rosenzweig: [email protected]

This year the Brotherhood contributed over $60,000 to many BAYT projects including Youth, Teen and University groups. We sponsor five kiddushes each and every Shabbat for Youth and Young Adult Minyanim. We contribute to and organize the Simchat Torah Kiddush, Israeli Families’ Kiddush, the Rabbi Taub Scholar-in-Residence Kiddush, Breakfast Programs and help fund and organize many special-event congregational kiddushes.

In addition, we provide financial support for many events in the shul including Shabbat Itanu, IDWWO and many of our Scholars-In-Residence programs.

The BAYT Brotherhood is also generously supporting broad Shul initiatives. We committed $36,000 to the Shul Capital Campaign and this past year we donated $10,000 to our Youth Department.

And of course, what would the BAYT be without our famous Latke Night. It is truly one of the greatest annual Shul events where over 600 people attend and the Brotherhood is proud to be a sponsor.

Finally, we would like to thank the Rav and Rebbetzin for their inspiring leadership and thank all of our volunteers who give so much of their valuable time to make the Brotherhood extremely successful.

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!

One of the highlights of our three years was our joint program with Nishmat for the unforgettable Racheli Fraenkel lecture that drew in 900 people from the greater community. Our centrepiece gemach has been up and running for the past three years offering centrepieces for private simchas and shul events. We also offered welcome baskets to newcomers to the neighbourhood.

Our major fundraiser, the Purim Mishloach Manot Campaign raised money for Sisterhood as well as engaged people in a huge endeavour to plan, package and deliver creating a yearly project uniting our kehillah. Thank you to all those who participated!

The funds that were raised through sisterhood were donated back to the shul, to our mikveh, as well as to many programs in our shul including; Youth, Tu B’shvat, Yom Yerushalayim, Shabbat Itanu, the Fire Station visit and JLIC to name a few.

It was wonderful working with an amazing group of women in our shul who worked tirelessly on our chessed committee arranging meals, rides and groceries for those in need.

Finally, we would like to thank all those who helped make the last three years possible, our amazing Sisterhood committee, the shul office staff, Rabbi & Rebbetzin Korobkin for their guidance, Rabbi and Rebbetzin Spitz and all those who participated and helped with all our programs. We could not have done it without you!

Sincerely,

Bayla Fortinsky & Heather Tanen

FAREWELL AND THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES

It’s hard to believe that three years heading Sisterhood has gone by so quickly. We have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful people in our shul making the experience extremely rewarding while providing lasting memories. Our goal has been to provide programs for a diverse crowd, to engage the women in our shul and also help those in need. Looking back over the past three years we feel we have accomplished these goals.

Our many activities included two Girl’s Night Out events, dance parties and the women’s kiddush which brought together the women of our shul for wonderful social experiences. Programs such as yoga and krav maga offered excercise, while the knitting club gave the opportunity to do a chessed.

More Than Just A Shul

Have you ever had a conversation which led to an “Ah ha!” moment? I had one such conversation a few weeks ago which I’d like to share with you; and hopefully you too will experience the same ah ha moment that I did.

Working on behalf of one of our many committees, we were seeking proposals for some work to be done. I had emailed some of the contenders additional requirements for their proposals, and received an email back from one of them indicating that not only were they not going to provide the additional requirements, but they felt our proposal was being approached in the wrong manner all together.

Now, something you need to know about me is that I try to hold very strongly to a certain principle: email is for information and the phone is for conversation. I thought to myself, “Let me actually speak with them and clear out any possible misunderstanding. Maybe they didn’t really understand what we were asking.”

I called their office and told the receptionist that “Mordechai was calling.” When I got the chap on the phone, I started to once again express what it was we were looking for. Almost immediately he told me “No problem Mordechai, we’d be happy to provide it - we love you guys.” Obviously, this confused me.

Recovering very quickly, I responded with “Oh… ummm... Great. Are you sure, because I didn’t understand that from what you had sent me.”

“Really?” He replied, “I thought we were pretty clear. We really like everything you do. We’ll do the whole job for free.”

“Are you sure?” I asked, “because in your email you said,” at which point I started to read back his email.

“Wait a minute,” he said. “Which Mordechai is this…?”

“Mordechai Bookbinder from the BAYT.”

“Ahhh…. I thought this was Mordechai from (another community organization). We love their work. They do great stuff in the community. We totally get behind them and enjoy supporting them. I’m afraid that for you, I’m going to stand behind my original email and…” He went on to explain why he thought we were wrong in what we were asking for.

It’s not that we were turned down, but something about that conversation didn’t sit right with me and was niggling away in the back of my mind.

I was recounting the incident with a friend the following day. They said to me “Of course Mordechai, that other organization is a great community organization. They do tremendous work with adults and with kids; with the ill with the well - everybody loves them. You, you’re just a Shul.”

More Than Just A Shul: continued

and with kids; with the ill with the well - everybody loves them. You, you’re just a Shul.”

That’s when it hit me. I turned to my friend and replied:

“Do you know that every Shabbos, we send kids all over the area to visit shut-ins both kids and adults?

And did you know that each week we send people to visit the elderly at a nursing home?

And did you know that we collect food for a food bank?

And did you know that we provide subsidies to kids who are unable to afford to attend youth programs or sporting events so that they too can partake?

And did you know that we raise money for bomb shelters in Israel and to help in the efforts to reforest Jerusalem after it was devastated by the forest fires ?

And did you know that each year we encourage our members to give blood and hold blood drives?

And did you know that each year we give out over $100,000 to the poor and needy as well as those organizations that support them?

Did you know? Were you aware of that? You may have known it… but it you KNOW it?

You see - we do much of what that other organization does; and in certain ways, even more. We just don’t tell people we do.”

My friend was silent for a few moments; and then turned to me and said “You need to let other people know that you do this. You need to let others know that you’re not just 4 walls with a minyan and kiddush club”

And this has been the response of everyone who I’ve shared this anecdote with. An Ah Ha moment.

And it begs the question: What does it mean to us to relate to a shul that’s not just 4 walls, a davening and a kiddush? How does our frame of reference change as we relate to a shul that’s also a community organization doing community service and chesed work? How do get others to relate to us this way and what will this mean to us?

This has inspired me, and those I’ve spoken to, to rethink about what BAYT is, how it positions itself in the community, and how it relates to the public at large. This will help shape our work going forward.

The next time someone tells you or implies that the BAYT is “just a shul”, I think you can proudly tell much of what we do. BAYT is more than a shul, we are a caring kehilla that reaches out to help others, and works hard to better the Jewish Community as a whole.

Here’s to an amazing year!

Mordechai Bookbinder
