D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

“The death of the righteous shall atone.” Does that sound Jewish to you? For some at first

glance it may even sound a little Christian. And yet that is the language utilized by the

Talmud Yerushalmi to explain the connection between Yom Kippur and the deaths of Nadav

and Avihu, both found in Parshat Acharei Mot. The first depiction of the death of these two

sons of Aharon is in Parshat Shemini.

Rabbi Chiya ban Abin said…… just as Yom Kippur atones for the Jewish People, so too do

the deaths of the righteous atone. (“Mitatan Shel Tzadikim Mechaperet”)

The literal interpretation of this Talmudic phrase did not sit well with Rabbi Baruch

Epstein, author of the Torah Temima. He suggests that we understand Mitatan Shel

Tzadikim mechaperet in light of a story concerning the death of Shaul, the first King of

Israel, as described in Shmuel Bet (Chapt 21):

Rabbi Epstein explains that God showed compassion to the people in response to their

appropriately mourning Shaul and appreciating his accomplishments and his legacy.

Mitatan shel Tzadikim Mechaperet is premised on the obligation we have in this world to be

Makir Tov: to acknowledge the accomplishments of those who have passed - especially when

they died Al Kiddush Hashem.

The Torah Temima’s explanation is important for us to consider- especially now as we

find ourselves on the calendar between Yom Hashoah and Yom Hazikaron, Holocaust

Remembrance Day and Israel’s Memorial Day for those who have died in defense of Israel.

Both of these days mourn the passing of Kedoshim, martyrs, and also Tzadikim- righteous

souls.

A student once approached Rav Auerbach and asked for a timeout from his studies so

he could travel north to pray at the graves of Tzaddikim. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman looked

perplexed but didn’t immediately answer. Sensing hesitation from his Rabbi, the student

elaborated, explaining he had some personal issues to think through and he felt praying by

the righteous would help. Rabbi Auerbach replied that he fully understood what the student

wanted to do and why he wanted to do it, but could not understand why he would travel four

hours to pray by the graves of a few Tzaddikim when there were thousands of them buried

on Har Herzl (Israel’s military cemetery), just five minutes from the yeshiva!

Every day, someone would drive Rabbi Auerbach from his home in Sha’arei Chesed to

his Yeshiva in Bayit Vegan. The Rabbi would occasionally ask the driver to pull over for a

few moments outside Har Herzl, where he would recite Tehillim at kivrei Tzadikim, the

graves of the righteous women and men who served and sacrificed on behalf of the State of

Israel.

Mitatan shel Tzadikim Mechaperet, the death of these Tzadikim can serve as a source of

atonement and spiritual inspiration and growth; but only if we learn the lessons from their

lives and the circumstances surrounding their deaths.

If we utilize Yom HaShoah and Yom Hazikaron appropriately then not only will Mitat

Tzadikim Mechaperet, but we will merit the fulfillment of the verse in Av Harachamaim-

V’Chiper Admato Amo; may we be worthy to fully appreciate the gift of the State and Israel

and celebrate its birth with full religious passion, as it deserves.

And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan

his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the

sephulcre of Kish his father; and they did all that the

king commanded. And God was entreated for the land

after that.

IDF: At Least 10 of the 15 Killed at Gaza Border Were Members of Terror Groups According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli military on Saturday night identified 10 of the 15 people reported killed during violent protests along the Gaza security fence as members of Palestinian terrorist groups, and published a list of their names and positions in the organizations. Last Friday, some 30,000 Palestinians took part in demonstrations along the Gaza border, during which rioters threw rocks and firebombs at Israeli troops on the other side of the fence, burned tires and scrap wood, sought to breach and damage the security fence, and in one case opened fire at Israeli soldiers. According to the Israel Defense Forces, eight of the men killed were members of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. One served in the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, and another was affiliated with “global jihad,” it said, apparently referring to one of the Salafist groups in Gaza. The army did not provide evidence for its identifications. Most could be independently verified with photographic evidence of the operatives wearing uniforms or receiving a military-style funeral from the terror group in question. The Palestinians’ march to Gaza’s border with Israel on Friday was the largest such demonstration in recent memory, calling for Palestinians to be allowed to return to land that their ancestors fled from in the 1948 War of Independence. It was dubbed the “March of Return.”

D’var Torah : Rav James

In this week’s parasha, following the giving of the Commandments, two of Aharon's

sons, Nadav and Avihu, wait outside the Ohel Moed for seven days and nights. On

the eighth day, Moshe requests Aharon and his sons to bring a specific offering

before Hashem. Aharon and his sons make the animal sacrifices as commanded, and

as a result “the Presence of the Lord appeared to all the people”. The sacrifice was

carried out successfully.

The parasha continues: “The sons of Aharon, Nadav and Avihu, each took his fire

pan, put fire in them and placed incense upon it; and they brought an alien fire before

Hashem that He had not commanded them. A fire came from Hashem and consumed

them, and they died before Hashem.”

The Midrash offers an explanation about the fire that consumed the brothers. It says

that "and it consumed them" does not actually refer to the fire, but to the brothers'

narrow focus of worshipping Hashem. They were so consumed with the duty of

performing commandments that they cut themselves off from the community.

From this Midrash we can begin to understand what community means to the Jewish

People and what an important part it plays within our daily lives. In Jewish practice

there are many things we do as a community rather than individuals; minyan, seder

nights and shiurim are just a few of the things we do as a community.

Similarly, Aharon makes the first sacrifice as a representative of the Jewish

community, rather than as an individual, and from this we learn we must also take the

initiative and must do things for other Jews.

The story demonstrates the centrality of community to Judaism and the harmful

consequences that can occur when one turns their back on their community. Our

youth are central to the community, they are our future, and without them we have no

continuation. To quote my teacher Rabbi Sacks “if you want to save the Jewish future

you have to build a strong Jewish childhood”. We need to work hard today with our

children to ensure that they know the importance of being actively involved in the

community around them. Attend community programs, Daven alongside them in

Youth & Teen minyanim, volunteer and have them see your example of community

involvement. As they develop, they will follow your example of commitment and

leadership and in turn build a strong Jewish community and future.

16

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!!
