A Tale of Love and Chutzpah

This week’s Parsha is Parshat Ki Tissa, which tells the tragic story of the Golden Calf. As you remember, Moshe was up Mount Sinai collecting the 10 Commandments and the children of Israel, insecure in his absence, prevailed upon Aaron to collect gold in order that they could build what became the calf.

Hashem is so angry that he threatens to bury the entire people and start afresh, a new nation with Moshe as their father. A lesser man might have seized this opportunity for ultimate kavod.

Moshe’s vigorous advocacy for the Israelites illustrates his passion and compassion as a leader, something we often lose sight of amidst all the drama of the miracles and all the laws.

Their dialogue atop Sinai teaches us many valuable lessons.

Once Moshe persuades Hashem not to destroy the people, Hashem responds, “I shall guide them to the Promised Land, but I shall send an angel to lead them in my place, for they are a stiff-necked people, and I might yet destroy them on the way.”

Hashem would keep close – but not too close.

The response of the children of Israel to this is that they go into mourning. They didn’t want an angel. They wanted God.

An amazing negotiation ensues, with Moshe not pleading for mercy but pressing Hashem for concessions…

“make known to me Your ways, in order that I can better understand you. And recognise that this nation is Your people!”

Hashem reassures Moshe, “My Presence will go with you…”

Not content, Moshe challenges Hashem further; “if Your Presence does not go along, then do not bring us forward from here; otherwise, how will it be known that I have found favour in Your sight?”

The chutzpah of it! How could Moshe begin to believe that Hashem would not make good on His promise that His Presence would lead?

Again, Hashem reassures Moshe. “Even this will I do!”

Still no thanks… Moshe challenges Hashem one more time; “show me now Your glory!”

With this, Hashem promises that His goodness will pass before Moshe for Moshe to sees his attributes, “A-donoy A-donoy E-l Rachum veChanun”, the Lord God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, but abundant in kindness and truth…”

This is a remarkable and compassionate revelation from a God who had been pushed to the limits.

Previously we had seen Hashem as strict in justice, jealous and angry. Now Hashem is revealed as merciful, compassionate and forgiving.

What catalyses the transformation?

Two things: Moshe’s humble love for his people and Moshe’s chutzpa in advocating their cause.

Fundamentally, Moshe appreciated how important it was that Hashem’s presence be imminent and not remote or delegated. The children of Israel needed to feel that Hashem was close. They needed to know that Moshe was walking with God; not as an independent operator. It had to be clear that Hashem, himself, was with them and that they had been forgiven.

The crisis had started because Moshe had been away and the people had felt abandoned. Hence, Moshe demands that the relationship not continue as a frosty distance but a warm journey together.

How often our fights and squabbles end with one side, asserting the moral high ground and demanding that the other follow with blind and unfeeling adherence.

Moshe teaches that redemption comes with rapprochement – when we are bold, showing tenacious love and opening our hearts with compassion.

Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom

Rabbi Jeremy Lawrence

What! Pesach Already?According to the Talmud (Pesachim 6a) one should start preparing for Pesach, including learning the laws of Pesach, thirty days before the chag. The thirtieth day before Pesach is Purim!

Just as our houses fill with the assorted Hamentaschen, wafers and chametz products in our Mishloach Manot, we need to start thinking about cleaning for Pesach. Of course, eating the aforementioned goodies and washing them down with a Scotch on our Purim Seuda addresses the Mitzvot of Purim and Pesach in one fell swoop!

The origin of the 30 days is attributed to Moshe, himself, who began to prepare the people for Pesach Sheini on Pesach itself (ie 30 days earlier). Pesach Sheini was the opportunity for those who were ritually unfit to eat the Paschal sacrifice on Pesach, to celebrate a month later.

The Rashba (d1310) and Ran (d1380) two Catalonian Rishonim held that this halacha of preparation applied particularly to scholars so that they would be able to answer the many questions which they might asked in advance of the Chag. They also suggest that it is Pesach-specific. However, many understand it as having universal application. As a general principle, it is considered meritorious (but not necessarily a halachic requirement) to prepare oneself for 30 days ahead of each of the Regalim.

Amongst the observances commencing in this thirty day lead up to Pesach is Maot (Maos) Chittin (also known as Kimcha dePischa), a communal charity appeal to help the needy buy their matza.

Even in Talmudic times there were questions about non-dom status. The Talmud establishes that one has to be resident in town for 12 months in order to either benefit or to be required to contribute towards Maot Chittin. This emphasis on required contribution implies that the Maot Chittin is to be considered a tax, rather than a voluntary contribution.

Poskim refer to an edict in ancient Constantinople requiring Torah Scholars to contribute. Implicitly, they were exempt from normal taxes and communal levies, however the special charitable purpose of Maot Chittin and enabling every Jew to have matzah with which to celebrate freedom, distinguished this levy from others and no exceptions were made.

From thirty days before Pesach, we are required to be more careful about the chametz in our homes and

avoiding falling foul of the prohibitions upon us. We are no less enjoined to begin thinking of those less fortunate than us and our responsibilities to enable their affirmative celebration and positive participation in the Chag.

There are many different traditions regarding when we stop eating Matzah in advance of Pesach. The Matzah we eat at Seder should be new to us and warrant the Shehechiyanu blessing we say on the mitzvah of eating it.

The minimalist approach is to refrain on the day itself. The Possuk cited by the Talmud (Pesachim 4b) is “However, on the first day you shall remove all Se’or (ie Chametz) from your houses.” (Shemot 15:12). Given that this could not refer to Yom Tov when all Chametz must necessarily have been destroyed, it must be a reference to the day prior to the Seder evening.

The Mishna Brura (443:1) cites historic sources for stopping on Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Others refrain from a full month before Pesach.

Matzah Ashira (Rich or Egg Matzah) is considered Chametz by most poskim and accordingly can be eaten during this period. Of course, one can’t rely on those poskim to eat egg matzah in the run up to Pesach and then ignore those poskim and eat it over the Chag!

Please do join us on Monday evenings after Maariv (7:30pm) in the Bet Midrash. With Rabbi Laitner and Rabbi Andrews we’ll be spending the next month getting ready for Pesach. Rabbi Andrews gives shiur at 7:45pm, Rabbi Laitner at 8:30pm and my halacha shiur is at 9:15pm till 10:00.

Thanks to Rabbi Andrews, Chazan Eli and R’ Yoel Lax for the wonderful tribute to the niggunim of Benzion Shenker last Motzaei Shabbat.

Thanks to Michael Kamlish for arranging the informative Sunday afternoon event on the Jewish servicemen and women of WW1.

Shabbat Shalom and Mazal Tov to our wonderful Bar Mitzvah Families.

THIS WEEK’S HAFTORAH BY RABBI ANDREWS This week’s Haftorah from the eighteenth chapter of Milachim I (1 Kings) starts with Eliyahu (Elijah) bringing God’s message of coming rain to King Achav (Ahab). The connection to the Parsha seems to be most manifest in the second half of the reading. It is there that Eliyahu and Achav meet and debate who is the cause of the drought, and then the defeat of the priests of Baal in the contest to bring fire down from heaven.

A theme in both the Torah reading and the Haftorah is that the Jewish people had lost sight of the identity of God. In the Parsha, people declared the Golden Calf as “the God Who took you out of Egypt”. In the Haftorah, Eliyahu offers a choice between Baal and God, but, the people were silent and unable to choose. The prophet in each case had to prove and reinforce faith in Hashem.

The Jew’s inability to choose explains some aspects of the story that would otherwise leave us quite confused. Achav greets Eliyahu rudely every time he sees him and accuses him of being the source of the people’s problems via the drought. At the same time, he obeys Eliyahu’s orders, gathering the people and the priests of Baal to Har HaCarmel (Mount Carmel).

It is not that Achav and his subjects lacked belief in God or Eliyahu, it was that they believed in God and Baal. Eliyahu’s insistence on choosing between the two was so foreign to their perspective they could not respond.

This also helps us understand why Eliyahu mocked the prophets of Baal as they tried to bring fire on their sacrifice. It was not enough for him to win as this might only convince the people that God was the stronger of the two. He needed to be so overwhelming in his victory to erase the people’s connection to Baal completely.

If you find yourself at Kinloss over the course of the day, please stop by the office to say hello! I can usually be found there during the regular office hours.

Though apprenticed to an itinerant barber surgeon, it is the dazzling surgery of a Jewish physician trained by the legendary Persian physician Avicenna that inspires him to accept his gift and to commit his life to healing

by studying at Avicenna’s school. Despite the ban on Christian students, Rob goes there, disguising himself as a Jew to gain admission. Gordon has written an adventurous and inspiring tale of a quest for medical

knowledge pursued in a violent world full of superstition and prejudice.
