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/

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 Sefer Torah Program

On Tuesday October 2nd

we will

celebrate completing the Torah. We will read

from the both final Torah portion, V’Zot

HaB’racha, and from the first Torah portion,

Bereshit. Everyone who wants to will be able to

receive an Aliyah to the Torah with two special

honorees receiving the final Aliyah from

Deuteronomy (Hatan Torah) and the first Aliyah

from Genesis (Hatan Bereshit). We will form

circles (Hakafot) with the Torah in the center

and dance with the Torah.

Why do we do this? For a long time in

Jewish history, there was no Simchat Torah, at

least by that name. The only holiday

commemorating the Torah was Shavuot.

Simchat Torah is not mentioned in the Torah or

Talmud. The Talmud does refer to reading

VeZot HaBeracha (the end of the Torah) on the

second day of Shmini Atzeret, but it does not

give this day a specific name.

How then did Simchat Torah come

about? It begins with knowing that there were 2

different cycles for the reading of the Torah: a

Babylonian cycle completing the Torah reading

every year and a Palestinian cycle completed it

once every 3.5 years (the original Triennial

cycle). During the Geonic period (9th-12

th

centuries), the Palestinian cycle was rejected in

favor of the Babylonian one. This led to the idea

for a celebration of the yearly completion of the

Torah. It was not until the 13th or 14

th century

with Jacob Ben Asher (the Tur) that Genesis

was begun on the same day that Deuteronomy

was ended. The Tur said this was to confuse

the satan (the adversary) who might claim that

the Jews were happy to finish the Torah but

were reluctant to begin anew. We also begin the

Torah immediately following its completion to

fulfill the rabbinic maxim “just was we were

privileged to witness its ending so shall we be

privileged to witness its beginning.”

The truth is that one knows when

Simchat Torah originated. Lesli Koppelman-

Ross writes that the impetus for Simchat Torah

arose because of an increased emphasis in

Torah due to expulsions, blood libels and

Crusades. This was followed by a custom to

remove all the Torot from the ark and to do

circles (hakafot) around the bimah. The hakafot

(circlings) come from 16th century Tsfat, the

period of the kabbalists (same time kabbalat

Shabbat began). There is also a tradition of

making donations to the congregation especially

on Simchat Torah, for aliyot and other honors.

Simchat Torah is one of the few holidays

on the Jewish calendar that does not have a

basis in the Bible, so why do we celebrate it, let

alone make it the status of a Yom Tov (sacred

day)? We show that while tradition is important,

there is a basis for new rituals. There was no

ritual to commemorate the end of the Torah

reading, and people therefore wanted to create

one. This can serve as a basis for creating new

rituals today. In addition, Shavuot and Simchat

Torah serve as bookends for the year. They are

six months apart, ensuring that we are always

looking forward to a holiday honoring the Torah.

I’d like everyone to consider what the

cycle of renewing the Torah means to you. In

particular, I am interested in how you find

meaning in rereading the same Torah readings

every year. I enjoy rereading the Torah because

I find things that I miss as well as new meanings

in the text, but I am interested in hearing from

you as to whether you find the rereading of the

Torah to be meaningful and why/why not.

Simchat Torah’s History

Amy Kahane,

Educat ion Director

The hallways and classrooms were filled with hugs, laughter and excitement on opening day

of the Jewish Youth Learning Center. The first day of school we were privileged to have our

Shinshinit, Noa lead us in a fun, experiential learning on Rosh Hashana. We all wrote on cards our

goals for the new year and then tied them to balloons.

During Rosh Hashana many students went up on the Bimah to blow Shofar with the Rabbi.

Two of our upcoming B’nai mitzvah students, Ryan Smiler and Maya Akiva got to hold the Torah

after it was read and dressed. Kol Havakod!

Our Sukkah P.A.C.T. workshop was a fun learning experience. Families made Sukkah

decorations (Jewish stars from tree branches); learned about the Lulav and etrog, and the mitzvah

and proper way to give it a shake; as well as a lesson on Ushpizin; welcoming our guests. We

finished the learning with some Sangria in the Sukkah and a nosh.

A special thank you to Dr. Gendel for leading our family services in the Beit Midrash. He is

always so inspirational and his teachings and knowledge are so valuable to each of us. Thank you

also to Steve Gordonson and Eric Starr for leading our younger grade services. Their service was

enjoyed by all the families.

We welcome Laura Sameyah as the new school administrator. Please stop by and say hello.

We wish Amy Beth all the best in her new endeavor, we will miss her.

With much joy and pride we congratulate Ryan on becoming a Bar Mitzvah. Ryan is a third generation member of Jericho Jewish Center and an active member of the synagogue. He attends South Woods Middle School in Syosset where he plays the french horn and is on the middle school soccer team. Ryan enjoys drawing, being a big brother to Drew and attending Camp Chipinaw each summer. We’re so excited for this momentous occasion and look forward to celebrating more of Ryan's simchas in the years to come. Mazel tov to Ryan on becoming a Bar Mitzvah on October 13!!

With Love and adoration, we are excited to share the Bat Mitzvah of our daughter, Maya Eden Akiva, on October 20th. Maya has been a joy to us since the second she was born. She is caring, sweet, outgoing and kind. She is an amazing daughter and the best sister, friend and mentor to Liv. Maya has enhanced her Jewish leaning by attending the Jericho Jewish Center for the past 4 years. Under the fabulous leadership of Amy Kahane, Maya learned the tenants of Judaism. For the past year, Maya has been fortunate to study with Lisa Maron, first at boot camp and then for her Torah studies. Lisa has encouraged and inspired Maya to not only learn her portion, but to learn Torah and to understand and respect it. We

are grateful to all of our family, friends, Rabbi Herman, Richard Cepler and the rest of JJC's leadership team for helping us to reach this milestone.

Preschool Highlights: We Inspire A Love Of Learning And Discovery!

When I see the children enter the doors of the school at the beginning of each year I am always surprised by

how young they are! It amazes me how fast they develop and grow over the course of the school year.

The children grow and learn so much by the time our school ends in June.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe made the observation that when one witnesses the astounding pace of the

development of the infant and the young child, one would be sure to deduce that “if children grew up

according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses” as adults.

So it is that we, early childhood teachers, and most assuredly you the parents, have the greatest potential to

lay the foundation, or building blocks for the future of our children. It is our desire to provide the very best for

all of the students here at Jericho STEM Academy! We strive to provide an environment rich in possibilities

to explore, deduce and discover, not only for future success in school, but for success in life. We also strive

to provide an environment which encourages respect and courtesy for ourselves and for others.

Our World of Toddlers

Our toddlers focus on fostering positive attitudes and relationships through group activities. Some of these

activities include painting, exploring different sensory materials, or playing group games such as “Ring

around the Rosie.” Promoting group activities teaches the children to make friends, work together and form

positive relationships.

Our Fabulous Threes

As we are all aware our children are growing on a daily basis, because of this we want to create

opportunities to help each child build self-esteem and healthy habits when facing new challenges.

Our threes will spend the month identifying their feelings and learning new strategies to help convey their

emotions. They will do several activities to learn about fire prevention. We will use vinegar, baking soda, and

food coloring to create fire. The children will learn about chemical reactions.

Pre-K

Our Fours are learning their letters and are in the process of making an alphabet book. They also have an

index card box where they learn site words each week. The highlight of the month will be our trips to White

Post Farms and to the firehouse!

We are a very diverse school but all of the children look forward to celebrating Shabbat and enjoy learning

about the Jewish Holidays. Our children embrace what is taught and are excited to learn about their friends

traditions!

Warm Regards,

Ilene Morrin, Director

Institute for Adult Jewish Studies

Program 2018-2019

Dear Friends,

Midway Jewish Center will serve as host of the fall 2018 season of the Institute for Adult Jewish

Studies (IAJS) beginning Monday, October 15 at 9 PM. The 5779 brochure describing the IAJS fall

and winter programs was recently mailed to you and can also be accessed through our website

www.IAJS.org. At this time we would like to highlight just a few items of special interest.

Invited Speakers, from 9 - 10 PM, each Monday evening, October 15 - December 10

Our speakers will cover a wide variety of topics including the Jewish experience in the South, in

Central Asia and in the Far East, prosecutions for victims of terrorism, and much more.

Classes begin October 22, 7:45 - 8:45 PM, each Monday evening through December 10

We are pleased to offer a choice of eight 8-week-long classes taught by our local clergy plus an

Israeli Dance class. The course descriptions and instructors' names can be found in the brochure

and Rabbi Herman's class description is included below. Note that Rabbi Herman's class will not

meet on October 29.

Hasidic Masters and Their Teachings by Rabbi Ben Herman

Who were the earliest Hasidic rabbis? In what society did they live? How have their teachings

impacted world Jewry? We will learn about the life and teachings of the Besht (Baal Shem Tov), the

Alter Rebbe (Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi-founder of Chabad), Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav, Rabbi

Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl (whose family founded eight Hasidic dynasties) and others.

We conclude each Monday evening program with refreshments at 10 PM generously donated by

Greenfield's Shoprite. The registration fee for the entire 5779 program is just $30 for JJC

members. You can register in person on lecture evenings between 7:30 and 8:45 PM.

Jewish center and honor your dear one. The cost of a leaf is $250.00. The “CHAI” stones

are $1,800. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sponsor ing a Kiddush

Please e-mail or phone if you are interested in sponsoring a Kiddush honoring or memorializing a loved one or for a celebratory event. Kay Caterers offers a more elaborate kiddush as well. The prices are based on a 75 person Congregation Kiddush; there is an extra charge for additional guests. In addition, if anyone is interested in hosting a Minyan Breakfast that, too, is available. I would be happy to discuss each of the options in detail with you regarding content and cost.

Please contact me if you are interested in sponsoring a Kiddush, breakfast or luncheon in honor or in memory of someone. We have many options that we can work with you. Judy Solomon (516) 938-7538, [email protected]
