A weekly insight from the siddur to help enhance our prayer experience
“Your great and holy Name You proclaimed upon us”
(Mussaf Amidah for Shabbat Rosh Chodesh, Artscroll Siddur pg. 466)
Some understand this line to refer to the fact that one name of God (ie E-L) is
incorporated into the name of the Jewish People: Y isroel. Others explain that this line
refers to the fact that Hashem is known throughout the world and throughout history as
“the God of the Jews”. These two ideas highlight the interconnectedness between God
and the Jewish People.
The Beit Halevy (great-grandfather of Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik) commented on
the verse in Parshat Vayigash. As Yaakov prepares to journey to Egypt, Hashem says:
(46:3) “Have no fear of descending to Egypt, for I shall establish you as a great nation
there.” Here Hashem is promising that His Name will always be associated with the
Jewish People. God’s fate in the world is tied to the Jews’ fate. When the Jewish People
experience salvation, God’s Presence in the world is more pronounced. This is one of the
important themes of Pesach; as we celebrate Jewish redemption we also acknowledge
Hashem’s role in our lives and our world.

We are proud to be participating in the Yesh Tikvah Shabbat of Infertility Awareness.
The following was written by Sharona Whisler, shul board member and coordinator of
the Chizuk infertility support group, hosted at our shul (for more information contact
~ RYW
Anyone who has struggled or is struggling through the heartbreaking experiences of infertility
and/or pregnancy loss probably understands why the concept of “Infertility Awareness
Shabbat” was conceived of (pun intended). It is to address this issue which is quite prevalent,
but is also largely unspoken about in the Jewish community. The statistic of infertility is that it
affects approximately 1 in 5 couples. This means that your neighbor, the person sitting next to
you in shul, your cousin, an in-law, or a friend is struggling or has struggled, whether you
were aware of it or not. I believe the reason it is not discussed in the Jewish community is
because it involves a very intimate and private part of a couple’s life. Indeed, many of those
who are affected by infertility do not feel comfortable discussing it either, understandingly so.
However, there are ways to discuss it, it should be discussed, and every shul that is
participating in “Infertility Awareness Shabbat” should be proud.
Medically speaking, infertility is the inability to conceive after 12 months of trying during
the most fertile time of the month for a woman under 35, 6 months for a woman over 35.
About a third of the cases are a result of female factor issue, another third, the result of male
factor issues, the final third being a combination of both male and female factors, or an
unexplained or unidentified reason. This can occur for the first time as primary infertility, or
after no problems conceiving a first child or a second child, as secondary infertility. Beyond
the medical definition, a diagnosis of infertility is devastating. The sorrow and emotional
stress it inflicts is all consuming and has been compared to someone receiving a cancer
diagnosis, by mental health professionals. Knowing this and recognizing that because of the
prevalence, someone close to you may be dealing with this pain, having sensitivity and
understanding is the best way to be there for someone. This means thinking about what you
say before you say it. Perhaps it means not complaining about how busy your child-centered
schedule is with someone who doesn’t have a child or who you suspect may be struggling to
conceive. That type of schedule could be what dreams are made of for someone who just
found out that another month has gone by without getting pregnant or has recently miscarried.
As a friend or a family member, it means being available, but also recognizing that you may
not be the person chosen to be confided in. If you are, it means listening and not offering
unsolicited advice or clichéd words of wisdom like “it’s just not the right time”.
One of the purposes of this Shabbat is to provide education and raise awareness to those
who aren’t personally affected. However, it is also very much for those of us who are
struggling; who are mourning the loss of a dream, mourning the loss of a potential life,
mourning the loss of an actual life in utero, managing conflicting emotions of hopefulness and
fear, the physical pain of surgery and injections. The unending questions and thoughts; when
will this work? Will this ever work? How much can I endure? Why is this happening to me? I
don’t know what to do next. Who do I go to? No one understands my sorrow…This Shabbat
is for you to feel supported in your pain. It is for you to know that you live in a community
that recognizes this struggle. And even though there are parts of it that the community is not
able to help with, in the way that the Young Israel of Hollywood community is showing those
who are struggling that we are here for them, it is meaningful.

Vaccination Policy
The following resolution was passed by the Young Israel of Hollywood Governing
Board on December 26, 2018: It is a religious requirement to get you and your child
(ren) vaccinated for the safety of each child and for the community at large. There is
no such thing as a Jewish/Halachic religious exemption to vaccinations. Shuls
should protect their members (especially those who are medically unable to be
vaccinated) by restricting access of those who choose to remain unvaccinated to
shul programs and events. Therefore, all adults, youth and teens attending Young
Israel of Hollywood programs or services, whether on or off our facility, must be fully
vaccinated according to standards of the State of Florida in order to participate in
our programs and services. The only exception to this policy is for those who are
unable to receive vaccines for valid medical reasons.

Trump Signs Order Recognizing Golan Heights as Israeli Territory
U.S. President Donald Trump met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to sign a presidential proclamation officially recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory on Monday, thus formalizing a move announced with a tweet earlier on Thursday, Haaretz noted. In a joint press conference, Trump said: "We do not want to see another attack like the one suffered this morning north of Tel Aviv," adding: "Our relationship is powerful." Trump then said: "We will confront the poison of anti-Semitism." Netanyahu called Trump's decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights "historic justice" and a "diplomatic victory," saying that "Israel won the Golan Heights in a just war of defense." [...] Netanyahu then thanked Trump for moving the American embassy to Jerusalem in May, and for pulling out of the Iran deal. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin welcomed the proclamation, calling Trump "a true friend of the State of Israel." Opposition head Shelly Yacimovich, as well as Labor chairman Avi Gabbay, also commended the move.
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.
Thank you for your tremendous response to the petition for more scholarships for
K-12 education. More than 1,000 people signed within the first 30 hours. We
delivered the petition to Senate and Executive leadership this week and expect the
Senate bill to be heard in the full Appropriations committee as soon as this
