A DIFFERENT KIND OF GIVING
By Rabbi Asher Jacobson
Our Montreal Jewish community
is one of the most generous in
North America. We ought to
be proud of the vast array of
charitable organizations that serve
almost every possible need in our
community. But, there is a different kind of giving, one that
is closer to home, it is one of Judaisms most time-honoured
and practiced virtues - the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim,
showing hospitality to the stranger.
Hachnasat orchim our rabbis say, made Abraham into a
prophet. He proactively fulfilled this mitzvah by positioning
himself at the entrance of his tent, seeking out passing
travellers. Abraham is the paradigm of hospitality. He even
turned away from G-d in order to care for his guests.
According to midrashic literature, the residents of Jerusalem
excelled in this virtue. When the Holy Temple still stood
in Jerusalem, pilgrims from throughout the Land gathered
there for the three festivals. The Rabbinic storytellers of
antiquity relate that Jerusalem's householders opened their
homes freely to those visitors. "No person ever remarked
to another, 'I couldn't find a bed to sleep on in Jerusalem.
(Avot dRabbi Natan 33)
The tradition stayed in the family. When the Roman Emperor
Julian ordered the establishment of hostels for transients in
every city, he referred to the example of the Jews in whose
midst no stranger goes uncared for. Even in the worst of
times, every Jewish community provided food and lodging
for any traveler, without discrimination.

Rabbi'sMessage
Today Lieba and I try to emulate this righteous practice
and Shabbos does not feel like Shabbos unless there are
guests at our table. This past year, one of our guests, a
single woman thanked Lieba and I so much for inviting
her to our home to celebrate the Shabbat. I was taken
aback when she expressed that this was the first time in
four years that she celebrated Shabbat with a family. We
need to be more conscious of the many in our community
who are yearning to become part of our families. It is time
to open our homes a little wider.
Hospitality means a readiness to share our lives with
others and to allow others to share their lives with us. We
learn to trust each other. It carries a certain risk because
it requires that we cross boundaries and dismantle barriers
erected in our society to keep the other out. Sometimes
it means entertaining ideas that might be alien to us. To
be hospitable takes courage. To share our family, our
children, with those we do not know, with those we might
not like, because we strongly believe that our homes
should be places of openness, is a profound statement that
says the world is a good and friendly place.
To practice hospitality is to enact the teachings of the Torah
that enjoins us to love our neighbor as ourselves. The
Torah calls upon us to be a kingdom of priests, leading the
way to G-d, each to offer themselves to further the other;
each to know the other as his complete equal.
The Talmud teaches: At the time when the Temple stood,
the altar used to make atonement for a person; now a
persons table makes atonement for him. Rashi explains
the table here refers to hachnasat orchim. (Chagigah
27a)
I once heard a great rabbi say, if you are looking for G-d,
go home and find him there. Let us always be mindful
to keep our tent doors open with genuine hospitality. May
Hashem dwell amongst us, blessing our homes with life
and prosperity.
Ketiva ve Chatima Tovah!
President'sMessage
Cantor'sMessage
Dear Members,
The Talmud in Tractate Taanit
(page 11A) says If a man will
say Mi Meeiid Bi- Who
will attest and be a witness for
me, which means after 120
years when we stand before the
Almighty, who will remember
my deeds in this world and who
will attest and be a witness to
what we have done in this world.
The Talmud responds: You
know who, Korot Beito Shel
Adam the walls of the house of man will witness and
attest to all our deeds.
It is with gratitude to Hashem (the Almighty) that once
again we come to the end of another year and begin a
new one. It is a time for thoughts and reections. It is a
time for expressing our thanks to the Almighty. When we
communicate with other human beings, we may choose
various ways, but to communicate with G-d there is only
one way, it is through prayer. As we read every Shabbat
morning All hearts fear you, and all innermost feelings
and thoughts shall sing praises to your name It is
further written all my bones shall say. . Meaning
that since G-d actually sees what is in the innermost parts
of our being, we are obliged before pouring out our hearts,
to delve into ourselves and in all truthfulness acknowledge
what it is that we are asking for, Ki Hashem Yireh
Laieivav because G-d can see what is in our hearts. If we
can do this, we stand a good chance that our prayers will
be answered.
On Yom Kippur at the Kol Nidre service, when we sing
the melody of Haas Kateigor, VeKach Saneigor
silence the prosecutor and take the defender instead, which
will be the walls of the house of G-d, our congregation.
With a defender like this, it is assured that G-d will inscribe
you and your family in the Book of Life.
We pray, dear G-d, that it may be a rich, fruitful year for
all of us and for Klal Yisrael.
My wife Marsha, daughter Zmira and I wish the entire
Chevra Family, LeShana Tova Tikateivou Vetechateimu,
a year blessed with good health, happiness and nachas to
all.
CantoryitzhakEpstein
would like to thank our past president Gary Polachek and his
family, for volunteering three years of hard work, and for the
phenomenal leadership he showed during a challenging time
for our synagogue.
Our appreciation goes out to Daniel Miller and Sally Raicek,
who stepped forward, at a time of instability, to provide
their counsel and leadership as immediate past presidents on
our Executive. I would like to thank Tina Apfeld Rosenthal
who served with distinction during the past 3 years as vicepresident. Yasher koach for all that you have done and
continue to do on behalf of our shul.
I thank Claude Cohen, Michael Cohen, Joyce Fishman and
Yaer Oliel, who have retired as Trustees. We truly appreciated
your leadership and volunteer efforts on behalf of the shul.
May you continue to go from strength to strength.
Turning to the future, I am delighted that Belle Burak, Ben
Cohen, Yoav Djebali and Steve Luxenburg have agreed to
join our Board, all of whom have demonstrated exemplary
leadership in their professions and in community. (Please see
page7).
I am extremely pleased that Murray Dalfen has accepted
to be V.P., that Pearl Rothenberg has agreed to take on the
new responsibility as Chairperson as well as VP, and that
Danny Miller will be returning to our Executive as Corporate
Secretary, together with Michael Krupp and Sandy Smith who
will continue as V.P and Treasurer respectively. Joining our
Executive will be Yoav Djebali, Donna Cohen Hersh and Leo
Hubermann together with Jerry Sherman and Mitch Rosen.
Thank you! You have demonstrated a deep devotion to our
shul community and we are truly fortunate to have your
collective leadership!
Together with our Rabbis outstanding leadership, we
increased our membership by 160 new families and
individuals, dramatically improving our financial situation
and sustainability.
Friends, there is still much to be done!
I would like you to join our leadership and volunteers to make
the Chevra a more significant part of your life. It will be an
enriching and growing experience.
I ask you for your support, so that we address the challenges
ahead in unity, bachdut and realize many more successes.
With my blessings for a Shana tova umetukah!

Beit Hazikaron
Rosh Hashanah serves as an annual reminder to Jewish
people that we must constantly work at becoming better
persons year round, by developing an inner awareness of
our thoughts and feelings. On Rosh Hashanah, G-d judges
us based on our motivations and deeds over the past year that
occurred between oneself and others and between oneself
and G-d which will determine our destiny over the new year.
The upcoming High Holiday season embodies an end and
a new beginning. We should be grateful to G-d, that we
survived another year physically above all and were able to
continue our get together every Sunday afternoon. We have
strived to continue the work of Mr. Halmi in keeping our
group entertained within our meager means.
We do not know what the next year holds for us, but we
shall constantly look out for a variety of entertainment to
please everyone who attends. We all know the importance
of keeping our group socially alive, in spite of all odds.
In the meantime let us pray to the Almighty for good
health, some naches in our lives and the spiritual strength to
overcome the hate surrounding the Jewish people. Le-Shana
Tova Tikatevu ve-Techatemu - May You Be Inscribed And
Sealed For A Good Year .

Special Birthday of Pearl Rothenberg
On Friday, April
27, more than 250
Akiva moms, dads,
grandparents
and
children converged
on
the
Chevra
Synagogue for our
annual Shabbat on
the Road program. We lit Shabbat candles together, enjoyed
a family-friendly Kabbalat Shabbat service, led by Akiva
parent Rev. Asher Tannenbaum, and listened as the children
sang some of the Shabbat songs that they know.
Dinner was a delicious event in the beautifully decorated hall.
The highlight was a presentation by Rabbi Jacobson that
offered important and meaningful insights into parenting.
The children took part in their own activities, and then we all
joined together for dessert.
We are most appreciative to Rabbi Jacobson, Gary Polachek
and Tina Apfeld Rosenthal for welcoming us so warmly and
for helping us to celebrate an Akiva Shabbat together with
the Chevra.

Wessel Brussen
Wessel Brussen celebrated his Bar Mitzvah August 19, 2012, Rosh Chodesh Elul. He was especially excited because
he shared this special event with his cousin of the same age, Clay Gibbs. Wessel is a former graduate of FACE
school where he studied the saxophone and was a member of the junior jazz band. Wessel continues to play music
and is now in high school attending a sport-tudes program at Collge de Montral. On his eighth year of training
with CAMO diving club, Wessel has achieved great success in the sport of springboard diving. Training five days
a week, Wessel has qualified for both the Quebec Provincial and Canadian National teams. Attending competitions
in cities across Canada and training camp in Hawaii, Wessel hopes his hard work and dedication to the sport will
one day take him to the Olympics. Wessel enjoys time in the country with his family, his two dogs and many
neighboring family members. He is often right hand man to his father on many projects in and out of the house (he
makes a mean batch of concrete!) He enjoyed his weekly lessons with Rabbi Jacobson and thanks him for being so
easygoing and inspirational. Wessels mother and father, Hendrik and Melanie, his big sister and great friend Emma,
his grandmother Josette Freedman and all his many aunts, uncles and cousins are all so proud of his accomplishments and look forward to
sharing his big day! Very sadly missed will be his loving grandfather Hyman Freedman and great-grandparents Daniel & Rose Freedman
zl.
Clay Gibbs
Clay Gibbs celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on August 19, 2012, Rosh Chodesh Elul. Making this day even more
special was the experience of sharing this important event with his cousin, Wessel Brussen. Clay lives in West
Palm Beach, Florida and attends Wellington Middle school. An avid golfer since the age of five, Clay competes in
tournaments throughout the State of Florida and has qualified for the US Kids Worlds tournament every year for
the past five years. When he's not practicing golf, Clay can be found on the basketball court where he often plays
well into the night. Clay's happiest times are spent with his cousins in Montreal every summer for three weeks.
Achieving academic and athletic success come second to his role of big brother to his younger sister, Rose. When
the two of them are together, with their quick wit and astute outlook on the world, the Gibbs household is never
without laughter. Clay's Mother and Father, Caroline and Jim, are especially proud of the young man Clay has
become. The Gibbs family and Josette Freedman are thrilled to be able to share this memorable day with all their
family and friends in Montreal. With us in pride and spirit will be Clay's Yaya, Hyman Freedman zl and Big Zaida
and Bubbie, Daniel and Rose Freedman zl.
Bradley Taiger
Bradley Taiger was born in Montreal on August 27, 1999. He is the big brother to two younger sisters, Chelsea and
Hailey. His parents are Irwin and Heidi Taiger of DDO. Bradley is a graduate of Hebrew Foundation School. He
currently attends West Island College and will be entering Secondary 2 this fall. Mathematics is his favorite subject
and he excels at many sports. He is a member of the WIC basketball and rugby teams, plays lacrosse and hockey for
DDO, and loves all watersports including water polo.
Bradley has been looking forward to his Bar Mitzvah for a long time and is very excited that the day is almost here.
When he grows up he has aspirations of being a lawyer, and his entire family wishes him the best of luck, much
love and Mazel Tov on his Bar Mitzvah which he celebrated on Thursday September 6, 2012 reading from Parashat
Ki Tavo.
Jonathan Hubermann
Jonathan Hubermann, a Solomon Schechter Academy graduate, is now attending Royal West Academy and is
into snowboarding, math and community work. Last year, after a visit to Israel, Jonathan expressed his wish to
celebrate his Bar-Mitzvha at the Kotel in Jerusalem. As someone who grew up at The Chevra and is a regular,
he would not miss the opportunity to celebrate at home as well. Jonathan will be called up to the Torah on
November 29th, 2012 reading from Parasha Vayishlach. His parents Ruth and Leo and sister Lara are looking
forward to this milestone.

This led me to the sad realization that human
beings have the potential to do evil, to lose
their humanity. This made me feel extremely
distressed because it made me think that under
a certain amount of inuence, anybody can lose
their moral compass. But then we heard stories
of righteous gentiles who risked their lives in
order to save innocent Jews from the clutches
of the Nazis. Despite all the propaganda and
external inuences, these people kept their
humanity, rose above the evil and did what was
right.
n Sunday June 3rd., the Beit Hazikaron members of The Chevra held their Yom HashuaHolocaust Memorial Day to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the German invasion of
Hungary. About 80 holocaust survivors attended the ceremony, some of them accompanied by
their children. Six Memorial candles were lit for the 6,000,000 Jews who perished in the concentration
camps and a seventh for the all the fallen soldiers.
r. Andrew Sallai gave his opening remarks and welcomed everyone. Rabbi Jacobson spoke
on the importance of remembering, the importance of passing on our Jewish heritage and
traditions for the continuity and survival of our people.
Mrs. Irene Romer read a very moving Hungarian poem appropriate
for the occasion. All the Hungarian names who perished and whose
memorial plaques are in our synagogue were read. Cantor Epstein
sang El Kel Maleh Rachamim - Prayer for the Soul of the Departed.

SHABBAT SHUVA
DRASHA LECTURE
A Talmudic discourse
to be delivered by
Rabbi Asher Jacobson
SUCCoT
ABRIEFGUIDEToTHEMITZVAHoFETRoGANDlUlAV
1. The Mitzvah of Etrog and Lulav is
performed every morning of Succot
except on Shabbat, by both men and
women.
2. The Mitzvah is generally performed
during the morning (Shacharit) services right before "Hallel." However, it may be
performed from sunrise to sunset.
3.
Every day of Succot, say the
bracha, "al netilat lulav." The bracha
"shehechiyonu" is said on the first day
only.
4. Make sure the 3 Hadassim (myrtle
branches) and 2 Arovot (willow
branches) are attached to the lulav holder
oBSERVANCESoFSUCCoT
WhatisSuccot?
Immediately following the awe-filled days of Rosh
Hashana and Yom Kippur, we prepare for the joyous
exuberance of Succot - the "Season of our Rejoicing." After
leaving Egypt, during the forty years of wandering in the
wilderness, the Jewish people were surrounded by protective
"clouds of glory". In commemoration, and to enchance our
awareness of G'd's all embracing love and protection, we
are commanded, "In Succot (booths) you shall dwell, seven
days". (Lev. 23:42) Eating festive meals and spending time
in the outdoor Succah is a unique religious experience.
Another special Mitzvah of Succot is the shaking together
of the "Four Species" - the etrog (citron), lulav (palm branch),
hadassim (myrtle branches), and arovot (willow branches).
One explanation, among many, is that each of the four kinds
represents a different type of Jew. The fact that the Mitzvah
requires all four kinds symbolizes our oneness as a people;
we all need one another. And the four species are waved in
all four directions, and up and down, signifying that G-d is
everywhere.
TheSuccah
During the entire seven days of the Festival all meals are
eaten in the Succah, unless it rains. On the day of Shemini
Atzeret it is an option but not required. When partaking of
a meal containing at least two ounces of bread or cake, we
say the blessing "layshev basuccah". Consult our Rabbi
for details on building a proper Succah, or purchase a
prefabricated Succah from a reliable source.
TheIntermediateDaysofSuccot
The third through the seventh day of Succot are called Chol
Hamoed - the intermediate days. We do not recite Kiddush
or light Yom Tov Candles. However, only necessary work
should be done. The seventh day of Succot is called Hoshana
Rabba. It is customary to stay awake at night and recite
portions of Torah and Book of Psalms. In the morning, we
circle the Bima seven times, lulav and estrog in hand. Then
we recite special prayers, called "hoshannas", while holding
while standing.
f) Now, turn the etrog around, right side
up with the pitom upward (this is the way
etrog grows).
g) Hold the etrog and lulav together (they
should touch) and then shake the etrog
and lulav.
f) It is traditional to wave toward the six
directions (front, right, back, left, up and
down) as an indication that G-d rules
over all the earth.
This order applies equally to the "waving"
during Hallel.

Student Feedback
Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
I feel compelled to express my gratitude to you and
the Tzoubari Family for taking the time, effort and giving
me the opportunity to participate in this Adult Bat Mitzvah
Program. I look forward to the intellectual stimulation of
each new subject and the discussion that continues on the
walk home and often throughout the week.
I want to express how much I appreciated the last
class on Jewish marriage. To learn the sage Jewish belief and
philosophy about marriage was tremendously moving. In
addition, to see how this perspective on marriage is lost to so
many in our society today. The emphasis today I see leaning
toward self-fulfillment and fun rather than a commitment to
oneness.
We, the women of this class, are for the most part
mature and married. Most of us, I am certain, are familiar
with the challenges and coping strategies required for a
successful marriage. However, to understand the subject
from the Jewish perspective and philosophy has put a beauty
on the subject which is very humbling. Thank you.
Victoria Mertl
Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
Hope all is well. Thank you once again for allowing
me to join the class at such a late date - it means a lot to me
to be able to learn with you and other many distinguished
speakers. Based on last nights class, I can see that I am in
the right place at the right time!! Bshalom,
Rhona Samsonovitch
Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
Thank you for such an inspiring introduction to our
Adult Bat Mitzvah program. You addressed critical issues
with clarity, insight and wisdom. I look forward to growing
in my understanding of my Judaism. If possible, may I
please be given a study partner. Thank you,
Marilyn Cooperman
