Shabbat Shalom The Power of the People Why did Pharaoh not enslave the tribe of Levi? The slavery in Egypt was so intense that when when Moshe shared the good news of the impending redemption the Jews did not believe him as they were under the burden of hard labor and possessed shortness of spirit. Yet, one the tribe of Levi was never enslaved. Why? Rabbi Yonasan Eibshitz explains that Pharaoh, as ruthless as he was, spared the Levites for a strategic reason. He saw through his astrologers that the savior of the Jewish people would emerge from the house of Levi. He reasoned that a person who did not experience the pain of his people would not be motivated to rally the nation for freedom. Politically, the savior would not be accepted by the slaves for he himself never experienced their pain. Rabbi Eibrshitz explains that for this reason people did not listen to Moses because they endured hard labor and Moses had not. Ultimately, Pharaoh miscalculated the character of Moses. He assumed that Moses would remain a prince and stay in the luxury of the palace while his people suffered. Moses was different. He risked his life to alleviate the misery of another Jew. He went out to his brethren when they were in pain. He came to the rescue when one Jew was beating another. Moses embodied the character trait that Pharaoh thought he would never possess, an empathy for the suffering of others. Moses's model is crucial for each of us to embody. We are all one people with one heart. When one Jew is in pain, we are all in pain. When one celebrates, we all rejoice. I am excited about this Shabbat as it is a reflection of our unity and coming together as Sephardim and Ashkenazim. There is more that unites all of us than divides us. The strength of our nation through history is our empathy, our unity and our transcendent mission. Wishing you and your family a Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Daniel Cohen - Friday night, we will hold two minyanim: Ashekenaz in the Chapel, Sephardic in the Sanctuary
- Shabbat morning, the Sanctuary Minyan will have Ashkenaz nusach with a Sephardic flavor
- The Library and Chapel minyans will be held at their usual times

Priority For Who Leads Davening There are numerous customs for someone observing a Yahrzeit. They include learning in a person's memory, reciting kaddish, lighting a candle, reciting brachot in a person's memory and more. One of the questions that arises occurs when a person who is observing wants to be a shaliach tzibur and lead the davening. It is important to note that only a child observing a Yahrzeitfor a parent has an obligation to lead the davening. As a reminder, the following list is the order of priorities for being a shaliach tzibur. - Mourner during Shiva
- Yahrzeit for a Parent
- Mourner in Shloshim
- Mourner during the year
For more information, questions, please contact Rabbi Cohen or Rabbi Zweiter. May we share semachot in our famlies in year ahead. |
