The “Sefira days”, the period of counting between Pesach and Shavuos, from the Exodus to G-dly Revelation and receiving theTorah, often evoke in me somewhat contradictory feelings. On the one hand, thisis an intensely joyous time, replete with miracles, and incredible spiritual growth, leading up to a climax that continues to nourish us more than 3300 years later. On theother hand, we are taught that this period is atime of great mourning, the days duringwhich the 24,000 students of Rebbi Akivadied, a devastating disaster not only becauseof the enormity of the loss of life, but alsofrom the perspective of the great amount ofTorah knowledge and wisdom that was lost. And yet, even as we ponder the tragedy, wecan’t lose sight of an essential piece of thestory. The Talmud tells us that Rebbi Akivastarted over, teaching five students, and fromthese five great men the entire written Torah,the oral Torah, and all of its traditions werepassed down to future generations intact.Stop and think about this for a moment.Rebbi Akiva’s life work was destroyed, and instead of giving up and giving in to feelingsof despair, he rolled up his sleeves and begananew. Teaching Torah, guiding students, taking responsibility for Klal Yisrael, and giving us all a legacy of hope.

I remember being in awe of my parentswhen I first realized what they had accom-

plished in a few short years after the Holocaust. Within seven years of liberationfrom Auschwitz my father z”l had come toAmerica, learned a new language, married mymother (a survivor of the Budapest ghetto,)started building a family and learned how tobe a businessman. Both my parents lost somuch,parents, siblings, many nieces andnephews, and yet rebuilt a family based onTorah values. When I was around 20, the ageof my father when he was first taken toAuschwitz, I asked him how he could do it.How he could start over, work so hard, havechildren, not be scared, or in despair, or fallinto a deep depression. He said somethinglike “you do what you have to do and youtrust in Hashem.” And then he smiled at me.

In later years I realized that this is what itmeans to be a part of Klal Yisrael. There isalways trust, there is always hope. We did itafter the Churban, the destruction of ourHoly Temple, and we did it after the Inquisition, and after the Crusades, and afterthe Holocaust, and after the Intifadas.

We are the children of Rebbi Akiva. We arethe children of hope.

The Untouchables RABBI MORDECHAI KAMENETZKY

A unique aspect of the holiday of Shavuous struck me as I was explaining the customs

of the holidays to some beginners. They began to review the various holiday laws with me. “OK,” began one young man. “So on Pesach you’ve got the matzoh, and the mitzvah of telling the story of the Exodus.” “Correct,” I nodded. “And on Sukkos you’ve got the lulav, esrog and eating the entire holiday in a sukkah right.” Again I gave an approving nod and smiled. The student continued. “And what special observance does the Torah tell us to do on Shavuos?” I hesitated.

special mitzvah observance do we do to commemorate the receiving of the Torah?

I was reluctant to respond with, “we stay up all night and learn” or “we eat cheesecake at the holiday meal,” beautiful customs that are in no way comparable to the level of a Torah-ordained command. In fact, the Torah tells us in Parshas Re’eh how we celebrate the holiday. “You shall count seven weeks for yourselves…Then you shall observe the holiday of Shavuos for Hashem. You shall rejoice before Hashem, your son your daughter, your servant your maidservant, the Levite in your cities, the proselyte, the orphan and the widow who are among you” (Deuteronomy 116:13-15).

Why is there no physical act in commemoration of the Yom Tov? There is no Torah-prescribed requirement to blow Shofar, read a special Torah portion (the reading of the 10 Commandments is Rabbinically ordained), or special ritual to commemorate the event. There is only all-inclusive rejoicing. Why is joy the only way to celebrate? And why is every type of citizen mentioned? Aren’t the poor and rich, widowed and orphaned included in every command? My grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky, of blessed memory, passed away 13 years ago. At the end of the shloshim period of mourning, his student, Rabbi Yitzchok Chinn, Rabbi of

Gemilas Chesed Congregation of McKeesport, Pennsyl ania, eulogized him. He related the following story:

Reb Yaakov spent his summers at in Camp Ohr Shraga in Ellenville, NY. One summer, a

question, “Rebbe,” he inquired, “where is my neshama (soul)?” Reb Yaakov turned to the boy and asked him, “Where is your arm?” The boy stuck out his arm. “Good!” said Reb Yaakov. “I want you to shake it.” The boy began to shake his arm up and down. Reb Yaakov smiled, “Good, now shake your other arm.”

his arms. “Wonderful! Now show me your leg.”

The boy lifted his foot. “Now shake it!” While

Reb Yaakov smiled. “Now your other leg!” The boy began to jump and shake and rock and sway. And as he watched the youngster move with every part of his very essence, Reb Yaakov gave him a tremendous smile and exclaimed, “That is your neshama!”

The only way to commemorate the receiving of the Torah is to celebrate the receipt of our nation’s soul. We cannot celebrate the soul with a physical commemoration. The soul of the nation celebrates by shaking every one of its parts: poor or rich, wealthy or poor, free or slave, son or daughter with unmitigated joy. The only way to capture the essence of our very being and our gratitude for the gift that infused us with boundless spirituality is through a rejoicing that permeates every part of the Jewish body; its arms, legs, and torso — The Torah. The observance is not relegated to eating an item, telling a story, hearing a shofar or sitting in a booth. Like the Torah we received, the celebration encompasses every aspect of our lives. And that is done thorough joyous simcha.

Soup to Nuts Your kashrus Questions. . . Answered

Written by Rabbi Dovid CohenA service of the Chicago Rabbinical Council2701 West Howard | 773-465-3900

AEROSHOTQ. Do Aeroshots require hashgachah?

A. Aeroshots is a powder-based mechanism forinhaling caffeine and certain vitamins. A number ofthe ingredients are kosher-sensitive and thereforeAeroshots are not recommended unless they are certified kosher.

EGGS WITHOMEGA-3Q. Is Omega-3 a kashrus concern in eggs?

A. It is not. Whole/raw eggs sold as containinghigher levels of Omega-3 are standard eggs whichare laid by chickens that are fed a special diet thatcauses their eggs to have more Omega-3 than othereggs do. From a kashrus perspective it is irrelevantwhat the chickens are fed, and the eggs are kosher.

KOSHER ALERTSIn May 2012, the certification on Trader Joedark chocolate chips changed from OK-Pareve to OK-Dairy. At that point intime, the OK detailed the level of possibledairy contamination in chocolate chips, andsome Rabbis mistakenly argued that perhapschips were essentially “pareve”. Although thattheoretical argument may have been possibleat one time, it is clear that due to the changeof company protocol, the status of the chipswere to be treated as dairy. Accordingly, thecRc (Chicago Rabbinical Council) would liketo remind the consumer of that the TraderJoe dark chocolate chips are OK-dairy.

Although cRc certified during the majority ofthe year, certain packages of products manufactured by the following companiesmay have the cRc logo removed or coveredduring a period after Passover. Please becareful to check those products as the cRc

does not certify those specific items unless thecRc is on each package.

•Today's Temptations• Eli's Cheesecake• Biondillo's

Please be aware that the Laurel Hill brandof Nacho Multigrain Tortilla Chips is incorrectly labeled with a plain cRc logowhich would indicate it being pareve. If fact,the product is Dairy (Cholov Stam) as indicated on the ingredient panel.

JEWISH HUMORTHE CUREMoishe went to see his doctor because he was suffering from a miserable cold that wouldn’t clear up. His doctor prescribed him somepills, but they didn't help. On his next visit, the doctor gave Moishe aninjection, but that didn't do any good, either.

On his third visit, the doctor told Moishe to go home and take a hotbath. Then, as soon as he got out the bath, he must open all the windows.

"But doctor," protested Moishe, "I'll get pneumonia."

"I know," said his doctor, "I can cure pneumonia."
