Lighting the Next Generation

The Parsha of Emor begins with God instructing the Kohanim about the guidelines for their service and life. The Torah states, God said to Moshe, 'Speak to the Kohanim and say to them.'" Every word in the Torah is invaluable and the commentators wonder why the repetition of speaking and saying to the Kohanim - Emor and VeAmarta.

Rashi answers this question by explaining that the additional words are intended to exhort the Kohanim to not only observe the laws themselves, but teach them to their children. Kohanim must educate the next generation.

However, the Hasidic masters offer a variant interpretation of Rashi. The word Rashi uses for warn Lehazhir, can also mean to light up - Zohar. Rashi is teaching a profound lesson. Parents and educators possess two ways to influence their children and students. They can warn them what is forbidden to do, but they must also inspire them through warmth and enthusiasm to see the beauty of Torah and a Jewish way of life.

The Midrash amplifies this idea by explaining two ways to convey knowledge. One way is compared to pouring wine into a goblet, a process of transferring information. The second way is to cause the goblet to overflow and influence its environment. As adults, our progeny will catch our enthusiasm and learn more from what we do than from what we say. Our role is not to impose our will but ideally to expose the next generation to our love of Judaism and serve as role models so they too catch the fire.

This week, I had the privilege of spending time with an outstanding Israeli Torah scholar, Rabbi Yosef Rimon, who is a prolific author, Rav, mensch. We discovered that we are both thank God father of all daughters and struck up a friendship as I drove him around town to help him find some gifts for his children. He was in Stamford as part of the annual RCA conference. His goal is to inspire the next generation and his creative, comprehensive and compelling pedagogic resources are used worldwide including in our home town.

May we be motivated to ignite the next generation though the power of our devotion and joy in leading a Torah way of life.

Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Daniel Cohen

Halacha Corner
Halacha of the Week from Rabbi Daniel Cohen  Kosher Symbols I often receive questions about Kosher Symbols and their reliability on food products Thank God, over the years Kashrut agencies and symbols are increasing as is the availability of kosher food. It is important to remember that a K alone and other supervisions on a food does not guarantee its reliability and recommendation. It is not uncommon for me to receive a What's App or Text from someone in the supermarket with a picture of a symbol. The clergy are here for guidance and happy to answer any questions. The Vaad of Fairfield County provides a list of recommended supervisions. If you would like a copy, please visit the office or send Rabbi Zweiter or myself an email and we will send to you the list.
