Shabbat Shalom The Timeless Preamble to the Revelation at Sinai We all know the preamble to the United States Constitution beginning with the words, "We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union." The introduction to our country's founding principles sets the tone to the guiding vision of our nation. What is the preamble to the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai? The Torah offers laws for building a just and righteous society, but what is the overall mission? Understanding the vision serves as a motivator and source of inspiration. The mitzvoth are tools for us to realize our sacred mission. The preamble to the revelation is God's call to us, "You should be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." What does that mean? What is the nature of our eternal mission? Many years ago, my father shared with me the words of Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein upon his receipt of an honor in 1986 at the Yeshiva University Rabbinic Alumni Convention. His insights resonate within me deeply and inspire me every day. Rabbi Lichtenstein said, "We should have a sense of ourselves as messengers. A person needs to invest himself with a sense of being a messenger. I see myself as a survivor. I am the only surviving grandson of a paternal grandfather who had eleven children. Today I see myself as a shaliach l'kabalah, a receiver of past messages. I accept this award on behalf of my parents, my rabbeim -Rav Hutner, Rav Shatkes, the Rav, Rav Aharon Soloveitchik - on behalf of my wife, my children, my friends and students, all who provide the infrastructure so that I can devote myself to Torah. 'What is mine is yours.' I am also a shaliach l'holacha, a messenger going forward. This honor is a mantle and a mandate to transmit, to transfer, to hand over in an immediate sense to my children, boys and girls, to my non-biological children as well, my talmidim, to receive and to transmit, which is the essence of Torah. I want to impart what I have absorbed from my home, my teachers, to others. I want to give students a sense of how meaningful it is to learn an hour of Torah, to do an act of chesed. I live within time, but I also live within eternity. Each act has ultimate significance beyond the here and now." Each of us is invested from time immemorial as receivers of past messages and bearers of messages going forward. God willing, we will rise to the occasion and be the bridge from one generation to the next. This is our sacred and awesome task. May God bless us to reinvest in this transcendent purpose and with renewed vigor and vision each and every day of our lives. Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Daniel Cohen | Tuesday evening Psalms Class Winter Update Rabbi Cohen's class will meet at 8 PM on February 6th and 20th |

Dear Members and Friends, Each year, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convenes the largest and most significant U.S. - Israel policy conference in North America. This year's conference will take place March 4-6 in Washington, DC. Some 18,000 men and women, including many non-Jews, will gather to learn more about Israel, its blessings and gifts, and about the challenges Israel faces.

Policy Conference is an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate and become best informed about Israel's growth, vitality and contribution to mankind, from the world's leading experts. It is an opportunity to hear from the leadership of the Israeli government and the opposition and from the leadership of both parties in our own government as well.

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. |

- DOUBLE LIFE: THE TREATMENT OF DOUBT AMONG ULTRA-ORTHODOX JEWRY Dr. Ayala Fader, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University, will speak on Double Life: The Treatment of Doubt among Ultra-Orthodox Jewry on Tuesday, February 6 at 8 p.m. at Young Israel of New Rochelle, 1149 North Avenue, New Rochelle. The lecture, sponsored by the Womens Initiative for Jewish Studies, is free and open to women and men. Over the past decade, rabbi-approved therapy has increasingly been prescribed for ultra-Orthodox Jews who have experienced a crisis of faith but have chosen to remain in their communities, living what they call "double lives." Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in New York, Dr. Ayala Fader, who is also Co-Director of Fordhams Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program, will discuss the new emphasis on religious therapy. Dr. Fader will explore the growth of Jewish ultra-Orthodox therapy in the context of the North American therapeutic framework. She will focus on the experiences of those living double lives, new authorities for helping those with doubts, and the pathologizing of religious doubt to reinforce belief in living an ultra Orthodox Jewish life.
