Shabbat Shalom In a Second One word we recite every month encapsulates the essence of being a Jew. During the prayer for the new month, Rosh Chodesh, whenever we mention the first appearance of the new moon in Jerusalem, we identify the time based on the hour, minute and chelek of the day. For instance, the first appearance of the new moon, or molad as it is known, for the month of Shevat was Wednesday, January 17th at 2:20 AM and 3 chalakim. The Hebrew word chelek means a portion. An hour is divided into 1080 chalakim and one chelek is 3.5 seconds. Why does Judaism give a name to 3.5 seconds? Why are they significant? Rabbi Aharon Soloveitchik, of blessed memory, explains that it reflects the sacredness of time. Not only can a minute make a difference, but even a few seconds. It is no surprise that the very first mitzvah God commands the Jewish people as a nation is to sanctify time. God tells Moshe, "This month is for you the first of all months." God is not only establishing the cycle of the Jewish calendar based on the moon, but making a profound statement about our relationship to time. Slaves cannot choose how to use time. As free people, the Jewish people are now charged with the gift of elevating every moment. Time can be harnessed or wasted - it is in our hands. Every minute, second or even millisecond counts. In the words of an anonymous poem, "To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident. To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics." It is not only about missing a moment but seizing it. We live on borrowed time. This week, as I officiated at the funeral of Elaine Bregman, of blessed memory, I sensed this intuitively. Thirty years ago, she was told she had an inoperable brain tumor with six weeks to live. God and she had other plans. She embraced life. She understood the words of King David - "Rejoice in every day." Do we? How many times do we go through a day and wonder whether we achieved the goals we set for ourselves? Are you just doing time or doing something meaningful? How many seconds? How many minutes do we waste every day doing things that are nowhere near the goals and aspirations and passions that we have inside? How many times do we go through the course of a day and realize, "Did I do anything I set out to do today?" Write down those goals each and every day. If we can accomplish those, then we are doing more than just making it through the day. We are living and achieving our dreams. It is no wonder the Sages teaches every person possesses a chelek, a portion, in the world to come. Every minute and every second can be elevated and eternalized. It is the secret of life. Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Daniel Cohen | Welcome new members Danielle and Matthew Kondub and their son Joseph |

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. |
