DVAR TORAHTu BShevat - Wednesday March 4 . The Jewish NewthYear of Trees has Halachik significance in the Land ofIsrael, where the Year determines which tithes areseparated. This year it is especially important becauseany fruits that develop between this Tu BShevat andnext have the special sanctity of Shmitta (the Sabbaticalyear). Outside Israel, we emphasize our bonds to Israelon Tu BShevat. Tu BShevat is nowadays alsocelebrated as Jewish Arbor Day with large-scaleplantings in Israel.The Four Parshiot - Before Rosh Chodesh Adar webegin a series of four special Torah readings andhaftarot. Parshat Shekalim is on Shabbat, February14. It commemorates the annual required donation ofa one-half shekel coin that every Jew made tomaintain the Temple, to purchase the daily sacrificesand to conduct a census of the Jewish people.Parshat Zachor, Shabbat, February 28, is alwaysread on the Shabbat before Purim. All of us, evenchildren, are obligated to hear every word of thespecial maftir of Parshat Zachor. In the specialreading, we learn about our obligation to destroy

Amalek, which is also one of the major themes in theBook of Esther. Haman is associated with Amalek,the grandson of Esav, who was even worse thanHaman in that he represented total and absolute evil. The Jewish people have been commanded to wage anever-ending battle against evil. This specialShabbat reminds us how and why.Parshat Parah - Shabbat, March 14. In the time ofthe Temple, everyone had to eat from the PaschalLamb (korban Pesach) on Passover. We read aboutthe Parah Adumah to remind everyone to rituallypurify themselves with the ashes of the Red Heifer(Parah Adumah) to be able to eat the sacrifice. Thisreading, like that of Parshat Zachor, should be heardby everyone, even children.Shabbat, March 21 is Parshat Hachodesh. Theadditional reading discusses laws pertaining to thePassover sacrifice and the importance of time, whichis the defining characteristic of the Jewish people. The Almighty promised that the Jewish empire willbe one over time, as our sages expressed: Thenations of the world are like the sun and the Jewishnation is like the moon; despite waning, alwaysregenerating.Fast of Esther (Wednesday March 4) The daybefore Purim is a fast day, commemorating thegathering of the Jewish people for prayer before theydefended themselves against their attackers.Purim (Wednesday March 4 & Thursday March 5)

As Megillat Esther teaches, Jews were hatedin every one of the 127 countries known in theancient world. Haman, a former stable worker whowas originally a slave to Mordechai, became therichest man in the world. He bribed Achashverosh,King of Persia and emperor of the ancient world, forpermission to annihilate the Jews. Unlike ourenemies during the time of Chanukah, who wouldhave permitted our survival had we converted,Haman desired the extermination of every Jew.Once permission was granted, Haman drew lots, orPurim, to select the day to implement the finalsolution. Queen Esther prayed and fasted for threedays prior to her request of King Achashverosh thatthe Jews should not be killed. The original fastbegan the night of the first Passover seder. Estherwas only partially successful in that three-day fast; itled the King to issue a proclamation permitting theJews to protect themselves, but the Kings originalorder for the extermination of the Jews was notrescinded. As a result, we prepared for a defensivewar on Purim. As during all times of danger, we didteshuva, prayed and fasted for Hashems help. This

second fast, a communal fast, was held the daybefore Purim and eventually became known asTaanit Esther to commemorate Hashems answeringthe prayers of Esther and Am Yisrael.

Four Mitzvot were ordained especially forPurim. They are: 1) Reading or listening to thereading of the Megillah at night and on the day ofPurim to remind ourselves of the hidden but ever-present hand of the Almighty; 2) Mishloach Manot,or giving at least two gifts of food to at least oneperson; 3) Matanot Le'evyonim giving two gifts ofcharity to at least two poor people; and finally, 4)Purim Seuda, or eating the festive Purim feast wherewe break bread together with family, friends andstrangers on Purim day. These mitzvot help promotefellowship and love among Jews and are as validnow as they were then.

MAOT CHITTIMPassover is a time of the year when we remember thosewho are not as fortunate as others. The "Shulchan Aruch- Code of the Jewish Law" reminds us of our obligationto help all Jews celebrate Passover, our festival offreedom. Please give generously to those in need so thatthey too can have Matzos, Wine, Maror and all otherbasic Passover needs. The Shul distributes MaotChittim to people who need it. Donations may be sent tothe office or given to Rabbis Louis, Ben Zion or Eli, andthey will be distributed."Kol Dichfien Yasay V'yaichal - Whoever is needy, letthem come and celebrate Passover with us." -HaggadahDont miss Rabbi Moshe SoloveichiksHaggadah Shiur. Time and Date TBA.

PRE-PASSOVER PREPARATIONSAs we go to press, dates, times and details for the cRcPesach Fair, Hagalas Kaylim (Purification of Vesselsfor Passover) and Proper Disposal of Shamos havenot been set yet. We will announce them as theybecome available. Shamos should not be brought to Kesser Maariv. Note:

Likutei Pshatim (and similarpublications) may be double-bagged and placed with theregular garbage pickup.

Selected Laws for Passover5775by Rabbi Louis LazovskyPreparing for Passover is alwaysdifficult. I will attempt to brieflycover 6 areas but urge you toeither review the laws from theoriginal source materials, attendany of the many classes beingoffered by competent rabbinic

authorities, including at Kesser Maariv, or call me withany questions.1) We Search for Chametz on Thursday night, April 2after sundown. We follow all of the procedures andcustoms including reciting the blessing as well as KolChamira (renunciation of ownership) upon conclusion ofthe search;2) The Fast of the First Born is on Friday morning April3. Fathers fast for their first born son under Bar Mitzvah. A Siyum can be attended if fasting is difficult. Our shulwill hold a siyum on Monday morning after our 6:00 amminyan;3) We Burn Chametz on Friday morning April 3. Burning of the Chametz will be available that day, from8:00 am until 11:30 am, location TBA We perform BitulChametz and recite the Kol Chamira at this time;4) The Prohibition of Eating Chametz begins at 10:22 amon Friday morning, April 3;5) The Seder - We cannot begin the seder until afternightfall. In each and every generation we must feel as ifwe are re-experiencing the exodus from Egypt. Accordingly, we must delve into the Haggadah toremember the suffering of our ancestors and to learn ofthe greatness of Hashem. We must involve our childrenin this process and realize that each part of the PassoverSeder has great meaning and significance. In addition toreciting the Hagaddah, special mitzvot of the nightinclude drinking four cups of wine or grape juice, eatingMatza, and eating Maror. We must eat the Afikomen by12:53 am both nights;6) Second Seder - We cannot begin to make preparationsor begin the second seder until after candle lighting onSaturday evening April 4, which is not before 8:03 pm.

Please call me at home (847) 676-0556 or at thesynagogue (847) 679-9800 if you have any questionsabout these or other issues, including how to kasherappliances and utensils for Pesach (Contact the office fora copy of Rabbi Ben Zions shiur on this topic, or go toKMvort.podomatic.com). A Chag Kasher V'samayach,and on this Pesach, may we merit the ultimateredemption.

always takes place the Shabbat before Passover. Themessage of this Shabbat is the maturity of the Jewishpeople in their slaughtering a sheep, the primaryEgyptian deity, as the Korban Pesach, which led to theirdeliverance.

The Omer, or period of counting 49 days betweenPassover and Shavuot, is a solemn period when twentyfour thousand students of Rabbi Akiva, all rabbis andleaders of Israel, passed away. We being counting(Sfira) the night of April 4 . One should count afterthsunset. If one forgot to count at night, count the next daywithout reciting the blessing. If one forgot the entire day,the blessing may not be recited for the rest of the Omer,even if one counts at night. During this time we refrainfrom celebrating weddings, having haircuts, purchasingnew clothing and hearing live music. On the 33rd day ofthe counting, known as Lag BOmer, this yearcorresponding to Thursday, May 7, the students did notdie. As a result, it is a day of joy and celebration. Marriages, which are ordinarily prohibited during thesefira period, are permitted on Lag BOmer, and fieldtrips and outings take place. In Israel, the day is markedby the bonfires and pilgrimages are made to the grave ofRabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, whose Yahrzeit is on LagBOmer. Shavuot begins on Saturday evening May 23 and ends on Monday evening May 25.
