בלב אחד

קהילת תפארת ישראל

Rabbi Menachem Goldberger בס״ד

הרב מנחם ראובן הלוי גולדברגר

שליטא מרא דאתרא

From Our President

I would like to thank the entire kehilla for

your overwhelming support for myself and all

of the shul officers in this last election. We

never dreamed that our slate would be elected

unanimously, especially since we couldn’t

canvass within 50 yards of the voting area!

When Ari first asked me if I wanted to be

shul president (strategically timed after a

Shavuos all nighter and the Rebbetzin’s

cheesecake), I told him I had to think about it.

He persisted and two years later, I was ready

to come on board. I am now ready, having

recovered from my last board meeting 27

years ago. At that meeting, no one could help

me with my main question — “What’s the

meaning of life,” and someone else quoting

“Robert’s Rules of meeting protocol.” I’m

hoping these issues are no longer deal

breakers.

It’s exciting for me to be part of a shul

where so much of what happens is a result of

the hard work of our Rabbi and Rebbetzin and

initiatives of our shul membership. Thank

you!

On the practical side, one of my goals that I

mentioned at the election meeting is to

promote initiatives that can help the shul get

off the financial roller coaster. I learned from

Ari that almost every shul faces the same

challenge: Money is raised at the beginning of

the year; the funds start to run out, money

comes in from another event such as a

banquet, the money runs out, and so on.

I believe that we can end that cycle over

the next two years, enabling our shul to grow

in ways that we haven’t even thought of, as

we have a more reliable income stream. Here

are some ideas:

1. Subscription payments — Encourage our

membership to honor their financial commit-

ments through subscription (automatic)

payments from their bank or PayPal.

2. Pay smarter, not harder — Encourage

our membership to either pay their

commitments through their bank (no fees) or

through PayPal, adding in the PayPal fees so

the shul doesn’t lose out.

3. Set up ways for shul members to

purchase items that will also pay the shul the

money (e.g., Amazon Smile).

4. Your fundraising ideas.

5. Your fundraising ideas.

6. Refer to #4 and #5.

I am confident that the members of our

kehilla have a lot of other ideas and in the

coming months, I will be reaching out to our

membership to hear your ideas. Be on the

lookout for a survey that will be sent out

within the next few weeks, IY”H.

I look forward to gaining a greater

understanding of how we can continue to

leverage our talents, creativity, passion, and

insights, so that our kehilla will continue to

reach greater heights as a makom of kedusha,

achdus and continued growth. Have a

wonderful Shabbos!

Rabbi Moshe Twersky ZTZ"L

by Yehoshua Goldfinger

Rabbi Yaakov Hillel often says that a

Tzadik Nistar, a hidden Tzadik, is not

necessarily a giant hidden as a simple or even

wicked person, as it is often thought. He can

be a person who is a renowned Tzadik and a

Chacham, but through your interactions and

observance of the person, it becomes obvious

that what you see is just the tip of the iceberg.

That was Rabbi Moshe Twerky ZTZ”L

H”YD.

I was surprised on my first day in his Shiur

how shy, quiet and unassuming he was. He sat

down and began the lecture without much

fanfare, quickly and precisely explaining the

Gemarah and Reshonim with great clarity. He

quietly mentioned at the end of the shuir that

if anyone wanted to come to his house for a

Shabbos meal, he should just let him know. It

didn’t take long to discover that his Shabbos

table was famous in the Yeshiva for its Divrei

Torah, song and atmosphere. Bucharim

flocked to it, even though it meant an hour

and a half walk back to the Yeshiva. His

quiet, unassuming shiur also showed an

incredible breadth and depth. One of the other

Rabbeim once commented to me that Rabbi

Twersky “could easily be the Rosh Yeshivah

of all of us,” faculty included.

Rabbi Twersky’s father-in-law, Rabbi

Abba Berman, was in general critical of the

acceptance of Chumros as a Derech

HaAvodah. However, he felt there were a few

exceptions, his son-in-law being one of them,

and it was easy to see why. Although he was

exceedingly Medakdaik in Mitzvos,

concerning himself with even the most

extreme Shitos, he did it with such incredible

Tznius and privacy that you almost couldn’t

catch him. For example, at the Simchos of his

own children, he did not eat the food.

However, instead of having separate food

brought to his table setting, he was caught

quietly sneaking to a corner during a break in

the action to eat from a bag that he had

prepared. It was a game amongst the

Talmidim to catch him doing something

different, and then much conversation would

ensue to figure out why he did it. During his

Shivah, many other of his Chumros came out.

Apparently he did not eat vegetables the entire

year of Shmita and did not wear glasses

outside on Shabbos.

At the same time, he was completely

without airs and fully normal. He once

personally made a pot of noodles for a

chavrusa who had a brachos Shaila. Help was

needed one week with Tomchai Shabbos, so

Rabbi Twersky went and packed some

packages. After returning to the Yeshiva

following an absence, I asked him if my slot

for learning with him was still available.

Unfortunately it was taken by a group of three

Bachurim, but the way he told me was

unforgettable. He smiled, and gesturing

emphatically with his hand, said, “It took

three people to replace you!” He was once

aptly described as “a Maluch, but the most

normal Maluch you will ever see.”

In the Yeshiva, he was a symbol of genuine

Yiras Shomayim, Hasmadah and Taharah, and

his presence inspired and uplifted everyone

who had contact or even saw him, whether or

not they attended his Shiur. The thought of

him being taken from us in Talis and Tefilin,

Al Kiddush HaShem, is both a horrible,

shocking and immensely sorrowful event and

a haunting and awesome image. In his life, his

Torah, image and persona inspired so many

Talmidim and created so much Kiddush

Hashem and Yiras Shomayim. It is poignant

that his sudden Petirah has done the same. A

common sentiment that I have heard from a

number of the Talmidim is that perhaps his

Petirah needed to be in this way so that others

could learn about him and from him. He was a

force too important and potent to remain just

in the Yeshiva. His life needed to, and has

been, spread around the world.

There is more than can be said in this

article about Rabbi Moshe Twerski, ZTV”L

HY”D. Recordings of Hespadim for Rabbi

Moshe Twersky, as well as several of his

Shiurim are available free of charge to the

public through Yeshivas Toras Moshe’s

alumni association at nermichoel.org. Many

of the Hespadim and all of his Shiurim are in

English, and many articles are currently

available about him, giving a wonderful

glimpse into a rare individual.

Editor’s note: Rabbi Twersky was

murdered along with four others in a terrorist

attack on the morning of November 18, 2014,

while praying in the Kehilat Yaakov

Synagogue in Har Nof.

Focus on Chesed

“Do not take revenge or bear a grudge” (Vayikra 19:18)

by Rabbi Shmuel Choueka

We are all familiar with the concept of revenge. If someone does evil

to us or holds back a favor from us, we are not permitted to retaliate

on the basis of his action. Rather, we must try to help out the person

regardless of what he did to us. The second half of the verse is not as

well-known but equally important. Do not bear a grudge means that if

someone holds back something from us, we are not allowed to remind

him of it even if we do him the favor. We may not say, “I'll lend you this

item even though you didn’t lend me the thing I asked you for.” The

Rambam says we are supposed to go even one step further and not

have his refusal in our mind when we do him the favor. This takes a

clear understanding that what happens to us is from Hashem. Even

though that individual refused to do me a favor, as far as I am

concerned, it wasn’t from him but from Hashem. Therefore I will do

him the favor and not even remember his refusal.

Although this is definitely not an easy task, if one accomplishes this

commandment he will reinforce his faith in Hashem and it will give

him the peace of mind which comes with the faith and trust in

Hashem. Shabbat Shalom.
