A MESSAGE FROM OUR MEMBER, DR. IRA GINSBERG It is with great difficulty that I am writing this letter to you. Before I begin, however, I want to introduce myself to those of you I don’t know. I have been a member of our wonderful shul for over 40 years. As a past president, I was responsible for getting fresh meat into the area and I diligently worked on developing the eruv. Along with my wife, Miriam, I created and chaired the shul dinner for its first 13 years. Proudly, I can take complete credit for the formation of our teen minyan and I have been, and continue to be, the Baal Koreh for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in the main sanctuary for 40 years. Unfortunately, I am now forced into asking for your help. I am in kidney failure and desperately need a donation of a kidney. My blood type is O Positive and no one in my family is a match. Donating a kidney is a life saving mitzvah for the donor and most certainly a life saver for the recipient. A transplant from a deceased donor is a possibility but could take many years. More than 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney and there is a very limited supply. A living donor kidney transplant has many benefits. A kidney from a living donor is usually the best quality kidney. It functions more quickly after transplant, lasts longer, and works better than kidneys from deceased donors. Living donor transplant surgery can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for the donor. The donor surgery is performed laparoscopically, in which three or four small incisions are made to remove the kidney. The donor is able to leave the hospital in two to three days. Although this is hard for me to ask, if you feel that this is something you might do, male or female, please consider becoming a donor for me. I fully understand that this is a personal decision that isn’t right for everyone. Please know that if you are uncomfortable with living donation, it will not affect our relationship. If you would like more information about living kidney donation, please contact Miami Transplant Institute’s kidney living donor team at 305-355-5000 for general information. They will be happy to answer any questions and offer information for potential living donors Of course, any expenses will be paid, with my utmost thanks, by me. Please call me at any time. I can be reached at 954-494-1494 Thank you for your caring and concern. Ira Ginsberg

D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

On the seventh day of Pesach we read that upon leaving Egypt, the Jews camp at a

place called Pi Hachirot. Rashi quotes the Midrashic tradition that the name Pi

Hachirot is related to Cheirut- freedom. The Jews began to feel the freedom upon

arrival at this location.

If we look at the first part of the name of the location, we realize that Pi Hachirot

may refer to freedom of the mouth or free speech.

Slaves are not allowed to speak freely. They can only speak when spoken to. They

are also not at liberty to express, or even possess, their own opinions. Originally Pi

Hachirot was called Pitom, which some suggest is a contraction of the words Peh

Satum- a closed mouth. It was at Pitom that Bnei Yisrael lost their freedom to

protest.

At Pi Hachirot Bnei Yisrael found their voice. The ability to freely speak is a gift

and a responsibility that Bnei Yisrael did not immediately utilize effectively. The

first use of their voice is to complain to Moshe: “Were there no graves in Egypt

that we had to come out here to die?” We prefer to have never left Egypt and

remained as slaves without a voice rather than to die in the desert where we will

similarly be silenced!

Instead of answering them with words, G-d splits the Sea and causes the people to

experience a revelation unlike anything in history. In response Bnei Yisrael sings

Shira- they come to appreciate the power of their voice. They utilize their freedom

of speech in an effective and meaningful manner.

The story of Pesach is the story of Bnei Yisrael finding their voice as they begin to

taste freedom. As we commemorate this event we must commit ourselves to

utilizing our freedom of speech: By speaking up even when our views go against

today’s popular culture or conventional wisdom. By speaking up even when we

think that our views are obvious or that everyone is in agreement. Chances are

they are not nearly as obvious or unanimous as we think. By speaking up even

when we don’t know if anyone is listening.

The Maharal writes that the word Pesach is a contraction of the words Peh Sach,

the mouth that speaks. Pesach celebrates the finding of our voice and the liberation

of our power of speech. Just as it was then, so may G-d give us the insight and

strength to utilize our voices today in a powerful and productive manner.

New U.S.-Israel Center of Excellence Included in Omnibus Bill On March 23, Congress passed the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Omnibus Appropriations bill, which included a key pro-Israel provision establishing a U.S.-Israel Center of Excellence in energy and water technologies. According to the AIPAC News Hub, the omnibus also fully funded the U.S.-Israel Binational Industrial Research and Development Energy (BIRD-Energy) program. The funding was spearheaded by Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA), Patty Murray (D-WA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Susan Collins (R-ME), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Reps. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Mike Simpson (R-ID), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), and Brad Sherman (D-CA). “This is the highest level of funding for joint U.S-Israel energy programs in our countries’ histories. Funding these two programs will further assist our nations in achieving energy independence, and will improve our environment and national security,” Rep. Sherman said. “In the future, when somebody hears that something big has happened in Israel, they will ask: what did the Israelis invent and how many lives will it save?” Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org

D’var Torah : Rav James The Maharal in Sefer Gevurot Hashem points out that the Torah uses the verb to believe, Vayaaminu, three times in the story of the Exodus from Eygpt. The first time, when Moshe initially came to the Jews to bring the word of Hashem and begin the process of redemption from Egypt it states clearly that the people believed him. The second is at the splitting of the sea, where before Az Yashir it states clearly that the people believed in Hashem and Moshe. The third time is standing at Mt. Sinai, where Hashem says to Moshe, I am coming to you in a cloud so that the people will be able to listen when I speak with them and also that they will believe in you. The Maharal explains the need for these three belief statements in the story because our religious beliefs are subsumed into three main categories. The three beliefs are fundamental to Judaism and a deficiency in any of them will affect one’s commitment to Hashem. They are 1)Hashgachat Hashem 2)Hashem’s Omnipotence 3)Torah Min Hashamayim. When Moshe came to save and redeem the Jewish people, it was important to convince them that Hashem was really going to take them out of Egypt and he therefore stressed to them belief #1, that Hashem watches over everything and that He did not forget the Jewish people. At the Yam Suf, as the Jewish people saw amazing miracles that broke the laws of nature, it was important to note that Bnei Yisrael had understood belief #2, that Hashem has the power to do anything in this world; He has the ability to turn dry land to water. And at Mt. Sinai, as the Jewish people prepared to receive the Torah from Hashem and to experience the theophany of Ma’amad Har Sinai, it was important to tell them belief #3, that Hashem communicates directly with man as He is about to utter the 10 Commandments. Therefore in each of these three situations the term of belief is mentioned and stressed. These were when these critical beliefs were instilled into Bnei Yisrael and when they became part of our belief system in Judaism. These remain the fundamental beliefs of the Jewish people and define us as a people. The Maharal then goes on to connect this idea with the statement of R. Yirmiyah bar Elazar in Eruvin about the three entrances to Gehinnon – one in the wilderness, one at the sea, and one in Jerusalem. The Talmud brings pesukim to support this statement, but the Maharal goes beyond the pesukim quoted and connects this Talmudic statement with the three primary beliefs discussed above. According to the Maharal, who is destined to enter Gehinnom? The individual who is deficient in his basic Jewish beliefs. The Maharal as such sees the statement in Eruvin as follows. If you miss one of the three key Jewish beliefs the doors of Gehinnom open up for you. You are no longer a believer in fundamental Jewish beliefs if you reject any of these three. The Maharal lines up the three gates with the three beliefs as follows: 1) The entrance to Gehinnom in Jerusalem, Hashgachat Hashem 2) The entrance to Gehinnom at the sea, Hashem’s Omnipotence 3) The entrance to Gehinnom at the wilderness, Torah Min Hashamayim. As those who identify with the State of Israel and the religious Zionist movement, we appreciate the role emunah plays in our support of the modern State of Israel. We are faithful to all three of these fundamental beliefs: we follow the Torah which is the word of Hashem to us; we know that Hashem can and does do everything in this world; and we know that Hashem watches over us constantly. Eruvin takes this a step further and makes it clear that to believe in Hashem means to believe in Jerusalem. During difficult political times, when there are those who debate the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state, we may not forget the fundamental role that it plays as one of our basic belief statements. As we prepare to celebrate the 70 years since our Independence we must make sure that we stand strong in our belief and support for the State of Israel; remain proud of all it has achieved and dedicate ourselves to ensuring our children have a strong understanding of Israel's place in our lives.

As we prepare to joyously celebrate the 70th anniversary of Israel, we must remember that

without the 23,632 soldiers and security forces who sacrificed their lives defending and pro-

tecting our land, we would not be privileged to celebrate Yom HaAtzmaut.

We are obligated to perpetuate their memories.

The YIH Youth department has signed up to remember 1500 soldiers this year. If every family

takes just one soldier we can remember 602 soldiers, however if every member of the YIH

family commits to remembering 1 soldier we will not just easily reach our 1500 soldiers but

will add an additional 1123 names to our memorial.

We ask you and your family, no matter what age, whether only 8 days or 120 years old, to

join the Youth Department in remembering our fallen soldiers.

Next Steps:

1: Follow link http://honorisraelsfallen.com/group/307

2: Select a fallen solider (we only have 1500 names so if you know a fallen soldier they may

not be listed but will appear on another communities list)

3. Click on "Honor this fallen hero"

4. Select how you are going to honor the a hero from the options

5. Honor the hero!!
