THE KING IS IN THE FIELD © 2018 by Rabbi Baruch Binyamin Hakohen Melman

We are crowning our beloved king this Rosh Hashana. Long live the King of Kings! True to his calling, the Prophet Samuel, Shmuel HaNavee, decried the people's desire to appoint a flesh and blood king over themselves, ostensibly to be like all the other nations. He argued that Hashem is our true king; we need no human king! But while earthly kings and kingdoms come and go, Hashem's kingdom is eternal. While we may seek an intermediary between ourselves and G*d, G*d wants to connect with us directly, factory direct. The Hasidim teach, based on the Tanya, based on the Kabbalah, that during the month of Elul the Supreme King of Kings, Kel Elyon, is in the field, so to speak, emerging from His vaunted Heavenly palace, to meet us half way, in the (soggy) field, in our mutual desire to be close to one another. As much as the calf seeks to nurse from its mother, the cow desires to nurture her young. It is taught that Elul, the name for our month of returning to our true soul selves, is more deeply understood as an acrostic for the words of Solomon, from Shir haShirim, the Song of Songs 6:3: "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.” Ani Ledodi Vedodi Li, or simply the four letters Aleph, Lamed, Vav, Lamed, pronounced as Elul. We should be in love with G*d! G*d loves us so deeply that we should be intoxicated with His love. Indeed, our souls are sourced from Him. Indeed we are of Him. Is it really so shocking that we can be so intimate with G*d, especially at this season, this season of judgment? Shouldn't the judge recuse Himself, having such a close relationship with the defendant? The answer is simply "no," because since we are from G*d's Essence, HaMakor HaKhayyim, the Source of all life, we are really just judging ourselves! That is the essence of the Jewish concept of prayer! To pray in Hebrew is leHitpalel, a reflexive verb, meaning to self judge. A reflexive verb is a verb whose direct object is the same as its sub-ject. In other words, we are not praying to an external Deity, so much as we are getting in touch with the spark of Divinity that lies within us, within all people. We are, in essence, praying to G*d 's Divine essence that inheres within each of us. There is no need to look to other faiths if we yearn for a personal relationship with G*d. Indeed, since one's earliest days in Cheder (a form of cheese) we were given the tools to access this Divine connection. Every prayer gives us this path to a personal relationship with the Author of all existence! Every blessing starts off with just the same two words. But these two words are the key! Baruch Ata! Blessed are You (singular). One to One. In this month of teshuvah, of returning back to Hashem, let us remember that G*d is trying to meet us half way. But if we dare to go all the way, we will find that we really be meeting ourselves, our soul's true essence. I bless each of you with a goot, gebentched yor, a Good and Blessed Year. As we say, Leshana tova tikatev vetikhatem - may you be written - and sealed (in the Book of Life) - for a Good Year!

Dear Fellow Temple Israel Member – Before I go into my monthly exaltation about Temple Israel, I want to wish you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy and sweet New Year. May everything be for good and may we merit, from Sukkah to Chuppah, to experience joyful moments together as they are meant to be shared. New beginnings, like the New Year, bring with it a clean slate and endless possibilities. We are hopeful and positive. It’s a fresh start and a time to move in a forward direction. How fortunate are we that each year we get to erase our past mistakes, and with a promise to do better, are given the opportunity, *Baruch Hashem,* to improve on our lives. Was our name placed and sealed into The Book of Life? We don’t really know for sure, do we? However, The High Holidays motivate us to live the coming year as if it were and show our gratitude for another year of life, thankful for each day. The High Holidays also give us a reason to take a real good look at what our life means and what kind of legacy we will leave behind. Every Jewish person, for thousands of years, has experienced this seasonal phenomenon of introspection. What’s wonderful about Jewish holidays, is that we don’t just simply celebrate them, we experience them, full-bodied. We don’t simply describe to our children about living in tents, we construct a sukkah, so that we actually feel what it is like to eat in it and view the stars above us. On Yom Kippur, we don’t just ask G-d for forgiveness, we fast so that our complete focus is on atonement and improvement. On Pesach, more than just telling the story, we relive the Exodus from Egypt as if we ourselves were there in that desert. Judaism is an interactive and fluid religion. It is meant to be felt and in collaboration with others. It is not a solitary religion. It is why we need a minyan to say Kaddish, pray and read Torah. Temple Israel is not just a beautiful place to pray. It is the instrument provided by our insightful local forefathers and mothers right here in Stroudsburg, that provides this Jewish community with a true congregation, so that, with others, we can experience our religion, our traditions and our heritage. Please join us for services, seminars, classes, events, meetings, activities and share Judaism with us, together. *L’Shana Tova Umetukah*. Merle

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT


Ask The Rabbi…...© 2018 by Rabbi Baruch Melman

Q. I once saw an article where the rabbis in Israel took away the kosher certification of an establishment because they had allowed mixed dancing on the premises. What does mixed dancing have to do with the kashrut of the food? And is that permissible? - Dazed and Confused

A. Kosher literally means fit, as in ritually fit. But some rabbis extend its meaning to mean spiritually fit, as well. On the face of it, it's permitted to extend the meaning to include spiritual aspects, in view of the fact that the purpose of eating kosher is to raise us up spiritually. Their particular hashkafa, or philosophical outlook, dictates that mixed dancing may likely lead to impure thoughts, and that those impurities of thought could and likely would, render the food of that particular establishment impure as well. In other words, while the food may start out in the kitchen as kosher, the tumah, or impurity, being under the same roof, would render the food as now treif. Similarly, a kohen, or one of priestly descent, is forbidden to be under the same roof of a corpse, lest the ritual impurity of the deceased render him impure and now result in his being unable to serve as a priest in the Temple until he undergoes purification. Mixed dancing, especially that variety known as "rock and roll," does not necessarily result in touching. But in any event, it is not specifically linked in the Torah itself to the act of eating. It is the rabbi's, or the rabbinical organization's, prerogative to extend its parameters of the definition of kosher to include spiritual aspects of its choosing. Myself, I would also add spiritual aspects to the definition of kosher food. Were the chickens who laid the eggs raised under humane conditions, allowed to range freely and not be confined to tiny cages, fed hormones and have had their beaks clipped off to allow for close confinement without injury or attack? Were the beef cattle that give us burgers and brisket chained and hoisted before shechita (slaughter), thus needlessly inducing fear and anxiety to the animal as its life is being taken? Where is the concern for Tzaar Baalei Chayyim, the suffering of living things? More closer to home, I would also add lashon hara (evil speech) and rechilut (talebearing) as sources of spiritual impurity. While the cooks, chefs and helpers in the kitchen are preparing the food, are they engaged in gossip about others? That would render the food unkosher! Are they slandering others while they prepare the food that is supposed to nourish us? That would render the food unkosher! Are they just listening to the juicy and salacious gossip being spread by others, while prepar-ing the food that is supposed to nourish and nurture us? That would render the food unkosher! What comes out of our mouths is just as important and sacred as what goes into our mouths! Let us remember that food is love! Ess ess mein kint!
