Living as a Diaspora Jew: In Peace or with Purpose

We are in the midst of "Israel" season on the Jewish calendar. We recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel and this Sunday is Yom Yerushalayim, the day commemorating the miracle of 1967 and the reunification of Jerusalem. I encourage everyone to join us for our Musical Hallel this Sunday at the 8:30 AM minyan.

In lieu of a formal message, I want to challenge you to think about the question of what it means to you in our generation to be a Jew living in the Diaspora. We are blessed with the land of Israel after an exile of 2,000 years. Thank God, millions of Jews call Israel their physical home.

For us who are not currently living in Israel, what should be our relationship to Israel? What is our responsibility to Israel? It is not uncommon for us to take a trip to Israel and be inspired. We yearn to return. Yet, when we are back, weeks or months later, how do we maintain the spirit and what can and must we do to remain tied to Israel, her ambassadors when living in the Diaspora?

If you are in America, do we consider it the long term reality or should we anticipate moving to Israel? If for a variety of reasons we are making America our home, what actions can we take to insure that we are partners in the ultimate redemption of the Jewish people and the world? These are questions particularly relevant in this week's Torah portions and ones I will address on Shabbat morning in the sanctuary.

Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom and Happy Yom Yerushalayim,

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.
