How does a leader lead best? We have three

examples of leadership in our patriarchs. Abraham

embodies hesed, or loving-kindness. He defends the

people of Sodom and Gomorrah when G-d wants to

destroy them, asking “Will you sweep away the

innocent along with the guilty?” Abraham also

embodies “radical hospitality,” rushing to greet three

men who visit his tent despite the pain he was feeling

from his circumcision. Yet there is something lacking in

Abraham at the same time. He rushes to Sarah and

has her drop everything she is doing in order to feed

the men. He hurries to Mount Moriah with his son Isaac

as a sacrifice, almost killing him before an angel

intercedes. Abraham is “anxious to please,” pleasing

others while neglecting the needs of his family.

In contrast to Abraham, Isaac embodies

gevurah, which I choose to translate as resilience.

Despite the trauma of almost being sacrificed by his

father, Isaac marries Rebecca and fathers two

children, Jacob and Esau. He chooses to put aside the

anguish, the hurt that a beloved father would kill him to

placate G-d and begins a new generation. Yet some of

the Isaac’s trauma remains; he is permanently scarred.

Isaac becomes a passive character, manipulated by

Rebecca and Jacob. In Parshat VaYetze, Jacob says

“the fear of Isaac” (Genesis 31:42) and pahad Yitzhak

is a way I understand our patriarch. He was too afraid

to act and thus he became the object of other people’s

actions.

Jacob’s approach is the one I think leaders

should emulate. Yes, Jacob the kniver, who took

Esau’s birthright for a bowl of stew. According to

tradition, Jacob embodies emet, truth. He is a visionary

who begins with the end in mind, receiving the

birthright and blessing, and then seizes his opportunity

to attain them. Even with God Jacob has a plan. When

he is a refugee from his home, running in fear of his

brother Esau, using a stone for a pillow, Jacob vows

that he would believe in God only “If God remains with

me, if God protects me on this journey that I am

making and gives me bread to eat and clothing to

wear.” A leader needs to be able to speak his/her truth

with conviction while also being receptive to those of

others. Being in active dialogue about what we need

and doing things not because they are popular but

because they are right (having the courage of our

convictions) is the hallmark of effective leadership.

In her article “Why the Most Successful

Leaders Don’t Care About Being Liked,” my former life

coach Deborah Grayson-Riegel wrote “When does

wanting to be liked become a problem? When it

comes at the expense of being respected.

According to scientist Cameron Anderson of the Haas

School of Business at the University of California,

Berkeley, overall happiness in life is related to how

much you are respected by those around you.

Nevertheless, when we sacrifice what it takes to be

respected for the quicker, and often easier, win of

feeling liked, we lose out on the benefits that respect

yields. She concludes by saying, “For professionals

who want to grow in their roles and careers, being liked

is good, but being respected is a requirement. As

Margaret Thatcher once remarked, "If you just set out

to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on

anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing."

This is a truth (like the truth of Jacob) that I

wish I had internalized at the beginning of my tenure at

Jericho Jewish Center. I share it now as a model for

how I hope to function as your rabbi during my

remaining time at JJC.

Leadership

4

In my professional career I have been fortunate to

have been exposed to and learned from many

clients who have significant charitable inclinations.

A client made a consequential donation as seed

money for a Jewish geriatric center not far from

Jericho, and then similar gifts to finance Israeli

satellites to be launched into space. Another

participates in micro funding of startup projects in

Israel while another founded an institute whose

chief efforts focus on enhancing social justice.

These donors all have at least one interest in

common with one another. All of these

benefactors, whether they consciously knew it or

not, participated in the highest level of charity

according to Maimonides. Added to this list are

Neil and Sherry Cohen who have so generously

donated a Sefer Torah to the Jericho Jewish

Center.

What is the highest level of charity? The

greatest level, above which there is no greater, is

to support someone by endowing him with a gift or

loan, in order to strengthen his hand, so that he

will not need to be dependent on others.

By Neil and Sherry Cohen making this

generous gift to the Jericho Jewish Center in

honor of Harriet and Norman Cohen, they

have provided the members of our

congregation the opportunity to perform their

own mitzvah of writing a Torah. The Cohens

are the catalyst to whom we are grateful, and

now our congregation has the chance to

capitalize on their generosity. Thank you for

the resources given us and for the challenge

provided to us. It is our obligation to use the

Torah which the Cohens have funded to buy

books, portions, chapters, verses, words and

letters to do honor to our loved ones and to

show gratitude for the blessings we enjoy, all

for the benefit of our synagogue. We have

been given the chance to not be dependent on

others, but to take responsibility into our own

hands.

I am also appreciative of the participation of

the members of the Jericho Jewish Center

who are so generously engaged in this effort

and have enthusiastically taken up the

challenge that Neil and Sherry Cohen have

offered us. Please join us.

Year End tax planning

As the end of the tax year is approaching, there are several tax efficient opportunities that you might want to

consider for making your contributions to the Jericho Jewish Center.

If you are age 70 ½ or older you can make contributions directly from your IRA to our synagogue. You will not

be taxed on the amount transferred from your IRA to the Jericho Jewish Center, and your gift will be

considered part of your required minimum distribution.

Additionally, you can contribute appreciated securities from your personal portfolio directly to the synagogue.

Your tax deduction is the fair market value of the donation on the date of the gift, and you don’t pay tax on the

appreciation.

A donor advised fund may be appropriate for your charitable profile.

Many congregants have used the methods described above. If any of these techniques appeal to you, please

consult your tax advisor to make sure that the donations are properly executed. I would be happy to discuss

any of these options with you as well.

Amy Kahane,

Educat ion Director

After a long wait for all the Chagim to end, we finally resumed Religious School. Our Blessing

of the Pets again was a fun activity. Many families brought their dogs, no cats or lizards this year,

but we did welcome a guinea pig.

Friday Night Live (celebrated the second Friday of each month) came alive with students,

parents, grandparents, and friends all coming together to celebrate Shabbat with a Chinese dinner

followed by our Ruach filled service. We celebrated Ryan Smiler and his Bar Mitzvah at this month’s

FNL dinner and service.

Mazal Tov to Ryan Smiler and Maya Akiva for becoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah this month. Kol

HaKavod to you and your families.

Shabbat Alive (celebrated the first Shabbat morning of each month) is our family friendly

learning service. Students lead many parts of the service as well as having opportunities to come to

the Torah for an Aliyah….all for learning. Since this month was the very first Torah portion

(Beresheit), most student and adults were able to come up and see the very first word of the Torah!!

This month we were also fortunate to have a presentation by Bar Reuven and his IDF friends

from the Elite Unit 669. They are unbelievable individuals who after serving in very difficult times

were able to pay it forward in incredible ways. If you would like to make a donation, please let me

know and I will forward their information to you.

Upcoming events:

Thursday, November 1: Noa (our Shinshinit) will be

teaching an Adult Education class about Yitzchak

Rabin at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary

Saturday, November 3: Shabbat Alive at 11:00 am in the

Beit Midrash

Tuesday, November 6: Bar/Bat Mitzvah orientation by

invitation

The 613th commandment of the Torah is to write a Torah. Even writing one letter of the

Torah fulfills this mitzvah.

Every single congregant at Jericho Jewish Center now has the opportunity to fulfill this

mitzvah!!

Jericho Jewish Center will be getting a new sefer Torah in memory of Harriet and Norman

Cohen, z”l.

With this new Torah, we will have many

learning and donation opportunities.

The Religious School will be spearheading our first campaign. We will be collecting 304,805 pennies! Why? That is the exact number of letters written in a complete Torah.

So start bringing your pennies in!!

Mitzvah 613: Writing a Sefer Torah

“And now, write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the Children of Israel. Place it into their mouths, in order that this song will be for Me as a witness for the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy 31:19). While this is referring to the song of Haazinu near the end of the Torah, The Talmud (Nedarim 38a) has taken this to refer to the commandment for every Jew to write his/her own Sefer Torah (Torah scroll).

It is a special skill to write a Torah, and it takes on average a year to do so. As many of us have other vocations, how then can we fulfill this command? According to Rabbi Moses Isserles (the Rema), we fulfill it by writing at least one letter in the Torah (Yoreh Deah 270:1 based off Menachot 30a).

During the 2018-19 synagogue year, each of us will have the opportunity to fulfill this Mitzvah, thanks to the generosity of Neil and Sherry Cohen. Neil’s parents, Norman and Harriet z”l were members of the Jericho Jewish Center for almost 60 years. When Norman z”l passed away last year, Neil and Sherry sought to honor him through a gift to his spiritual home, the Jericho Jewish Center. Their generosity enables us to acquire a new Torah at JJC, a welcome addition, as most of our Torot are heavy and a number of them are pasul (unfit for ritual use). Each of us will have the opportunity to fulfill this commandment by donating for a letter, a word or a more substantial gift to be given in memory of a loved one or in honor of a simcha. All donors will receive a certificate of appreciation for their donation, will get to write a letter in the Torah and will have a photo taken with the scribe as this is done.

Please send your gift in to the Jericho Jewish Center and indicate that it is for the Mitzvah 613 Torah campaign. Also please inform your family and friends, inviting them to contribute to our new Torah. Let us know if you are interested in participating in our Mitzvah 613 committee: we are looking for creative minds to plan educational programs around the Torah. Lastly, please indicate if it is in honor of a simcha or in memory of a loved

one so that we can acknowledge it appropriately. You can donate online: www.jerichojc.com/mitzvah613/

A MUST WATCH

Dana Arschin, daughter of congregants, Sharon and Arthur Arschin, and reporter at Fox 5 News, traveled to Poland in April to learn more about her roots and ancestors that were murdered in the Holocaust. Her 96 year old grandfather, Nat, miraculously survived more than 2 years in Auschwitz concentration camp. Nat's parents and 5 of his siblings were all killed.

The “CHAI” stones are $1,800. I look forward to hearing from you. Shirley Grubin 516-342-9179
