Are We Family?
Do you have family in Israel? When asked this question by security personnel on my visits to Israel, I would always respond in Hebrew, "Klal Yisrael, the Jewish people." It would evoke a smile and then I would share that, in fact, I did not have any immediate relatives in the Holy Land. It was only a few years ago, though, when my father and step mother made aliyah that I could truly answer in the affirmative.
However, I recently learned a new insight on the Torah portion that offered new meaning to the challenge of the Jewish people living in the Diaspora and in Israel. A careful reading of the Torah reveals that only the tribes of Reuven and Gad requested to live on the trans Jordan. Moshe expresses his incredulity that some Jews would want to reside outside of Israel. Finally, he agrees to the arrangement but only on the condition that these tribes lead the battle for the land.
Whether living in Israel or not, we are all bound together to insure the security of our homeland.
Yet, in addition to Gad and Reuven, in the end, half the tribe of Menashe stays outside of Israel. Why? How does Menashe get involved in this negotiation?
There are numerous approaches to this quandary. Yet, I was moved by the insight of Rabbi Moshe Chaim Ephraim of Sudilkov, the grandson of the Baal Shem Tov and known for his work, Degel Machane Ephraim. He explains that Moshe deliberately divided the tribe to insure that the nation would stay united. Strangers or even acquaintances rarely stay in touch if separated by geography. Family finds a way to stay connected.
Wherever we may live, we are one nation, one people with one heart. This week as we welcome Jewish youth from across the world to Stamford for the Maccabi Games and simultaneously mourn the loss of the Temple, a tragedy precipitated by baseless hatred amidst our people, we must always remember that we are family. We care, we call, we do for our people and homeland wherever we or they may be.
Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Daniel Cohen

Rabbi Cohen's Halacha of the Week - The Nine Days
  • Question - Can you share with me some practical laws of the nine day mourning period?
  • Answer - As we learned last week, we abstain from eating meat and drinking wine during this time expect for Shabbat or if you are participating in a siyum, the completion of a Tractate from the Talmud. They will be available at 613 on Sunday - Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM. Also, we do not wash or wear freshly laundered clothing during this period. However, undergarments or clothes such as athletic uniforms which require daily washing may be washed. Finally, we avoid swimming during the nine days. The restriction stems from the general prohibition against bathing for pleasure as a sign of mourning. As such, you may swim for instructional or medicinal purposes.
