RABBI AND REBBETZIN’S CORNER
Parshat Korach 5773
Dear YIEB Families,
During the time of the Beit Hamikdash, one
expressed their gratitude to Hashem by bringing
a Korban Todah, a thanksgiving offering. In the
absence of the Temple, we can also express
Hakarat Hatov to Hashem with a Seudat
Hoda’ah or a Kiddush. In remembering the
challenging pregnancy that Sharon went
through we feel grateful to Hashem to be able
to celebrate Eitan’s one year old birthday. This
Shabbat, we share these feelings with our
wonderful community and thank you for all your
assistance during our challenging time. Our
hope is that as a community we can come
together to celebrate Smachot and share
feelings of Hakarat Hatov to Hashem.
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi Jay and Sharon Weinstein
