Learn Sefer Bereishis with the Rav! NOW AVAILABLE! Regularly $35.00 Now $29.75 Compiled and edited by Dr. Arnold Lustiger Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the “Rav,” was the towering rabbinic thinker of the 20th century. As part of the wellspring of his Torah knowledge, he taught, wrote, and lectured extensively on Chumash with profound insight and brilliant creativity. The Rav, however, never wrote a systematic commentary on Chumash, and, until now, the only way to study the Rav’s interpretation and analysis of Chumash was to search for pertinent material by wading through the Rav’s published essays and other writings and hard-to-find audio tapes of his lectures and shiurim. With the publication of Chumash Mesoras HaRav -- Sefer Bereishis, for the first time the Rav’s teachings have been collected together and organized according the verses of the Torah upon which they expound. Edited with great skill by Dr. Arnold Lustiger, this groundbreaking Chumash, the first volume of a contemplated set of the entire Torah, collects and adapts the Rav’s writings and teachings into a published commentary on Sefer Bereishis that reflects his intellectual breadth and depth, his exegetical creativity, and the timelessness of his insights. Dr. Lustiger performed the Herculean task of compiling the English commentary from already published sources, unpublished manuscripts, transcripts of relevant tapes, notes, and reliable reports of the Rav’s thoughts. Complete with the Hebrew text with vocalization and cantillation signs, an English translation of the Torah text, Rashi’s commentary, and an eloquent and original Torah commentary, the Chumash Mesoras HaRav is perfect for synagogue, home, and school use. In addition, Chumash Mesoras HaRav features introductions by Rabbi Menachem Genack and Dr. Lustiger. The Rav’s teachings on the Chumash have never been more easily accessible, and readers will welcome this monumental work with the same enthusiasm with which they have welcomed and embraced the Mesorat HaRav Haggadah, Kinot, and Siddur. This commentary provides entrée to the Rav’s writings like never before and encourages readers to explore the Rav’s extensive library of published works.(OU PRESS)SO GO TO YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE SO YOU CAN BRING THE RAV TO YOUR SHABBOS TABLE AS WE START THE TORAH AGAIN AND PRINT YOUR DISCOUNT HERE.

[Aneinu] Carbon Monoxide Awareness Note

Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 5:06 PM To: COS Community Subject: [COS Community] Fwd: Carbon Monoxide Awareness Note This came from my fathers shul and I thought it was very important to pass on: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Khal Zichron Mordechai Date: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Subject: Fwd: Carbon Monoxide Awareness Note To: Khal Zichron See below From: Ari Friedman [mailto:AFriedman@ymhtchicago.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 12:54 PM Subject: carbon monoxide awarness note This past Shabbos morning (the third day of the “three day Yomtov”) I was awakened by the sound of the carbon monoxide alarm announcing high levels. We immediately cleared everyone out of the house and summoned the fire department. When they arrived, they informed me that the cause of the high carbon monoxide levels was due to leaving the stove and oven on over Yomtov and Shabbos. The buildup of these dangerous fumes was not due to a faulty gas line or leaking appliances, but rather to the lack of adequate ventilation. The constant burning of the gas range and oven - even on a low flame, will over time emit unhealthy levels of carbon monoxide. I was told that the fire department was tending to many such call over the last few days. The firemen implored me to please tell the Rabbis and announce to the community that if people need to leave on the stove or oven over the holidays, then must ensure that the area is properly ventilated. Turning on an exhaust fan or even opening the kitchen window a bit is enough to prevent terrible danger. I would also like to stress the importance of a carbon monoxide detector. They are not expensive and often come together with the smoke alarm. I would not want to think what our Shabbos would have been like had we not had the alarm- especially since the gas travels upward and the levels upstairs where everyone was sleeping were much higher. I have been told that in some communities there are public announcements to alert people to take the necessary precautions. --

NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH Yom Kippur: Hardened Hearts By Mrs. Shira Smiles

The second of the sins that form the liturgical confession on Yom Kippur is the sin of hardness of the heart. What does that mean, and how are we guilty of this transgression? As the ArtscrollMachzor points out, this sin is not only about lack of compassion and refusing our help when we had the ability to help someone in need, but also about also about refusing to admit our shortcomings. Rabbi Meislish explains our hardened hearts as our refusal to acknowledge our shortcomings and do teshuvah for them, including listening to our parents and rabbis. Our hearts are so hardened, says Rabbi Moshe Aron Stern, that we do not tremble at the call of the shofar, a sound that brought trembling to entire cities in the days of the Prophet Amos.

JI and JMR Shalsheles Release The Second Single From Their Upcoming Album “Yaaleh”

This past summer season Shalsheles made their triumphant return to JM with the release of the smash accapella single (a first for the group) “Lmaan Achai” featuring the world renown Maccabeats as the collaborating artists. Lmaan Achai, was released in anticipation of Shalsheles’s upcoming album which for the first time ever will feature collaborations with other artists. That’s right, this winter/Chanukah season music fans everywhere will be treated to the famed music stylings of Shalsheles as the group is joined by many of their “friends” in the music business. Aseres Yemei Tshuva is a time when Jewish everywhere strive to do better and be better. It’s about getting closer to Hashem and getting to a higher level of spirituality. With that in mind Yitzchok Rosenthal the frontman and composer for Shalsheles decided that it was time to release the second single off the upcoming album entitled “Yaaleh.” Those fans of Shalsheles that fell in love with songs like Ekrah, Gadol and Yofyafisa will absolutely LOVE Yaaleh. The powerful message of the song coupled with the masterful composition by Yitzchok Rosenthal will have YOU striving to reach higher and be a better you. If that isn’t enough for you, the song also features a new choir of boys from Ramat Beit Shemesh in Israel directed by Shalsles own Simcha Sussman which gives the song that special hauntingly touch. This amazing new song was arranged by the vetern Dudi Kalish with post production and mix by Nochi Krohn, edits by both Ruli Ezrachi and Aryeh Kunstler and post production work and concepting by CD Eichler of A.K.A> Pella fame.

BAIS HAVAAD ON THE PARSHA Parshas Ha'azinu 5771: The Laws of Rosh Hashana

Rosh Hashana: The Beginning of a New Year; the Beginning of a New Self By: Rav Yitzchok Basser We are all familiar with Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the year, as being a day of awe; a day of judgment. The day that “Angels are confused and are overcome by trembling, and declare: behold the Day of Judgment!” It is interesting to note that the Torah is largely silent about the fact that Rosh Hashanah is the Yom Hadin, the Day of Judgment. In fact, the primary source for Rosh Hashanah being a day of judgment is inferred by Chazal from a verse in Tehillim (81:4) Blow the shofar at the moon’s renewal, at the time when the festive day is covered. For it is a decree for Israel, a judgment [day] for the G-d of Jacob. The Gemara (Rosh Hashanah 8a-b) says, “[At] what festival is the moon covered?

RABBI WEIN ON HAAZINU

The special nature and all of the events of Jewish history are outlined for us in this week’s parsha. Ramban in the 13th century comments that anyone who can, so many centuries earlier, accurately foretell the later fate of a people is an exceptional prophet. Moshe certainly fits that description and test. And what more can we add to this phenomenon, now seven hundred-fifty years after Ramban!

RABBI WEIN ON LOOKING AHEAD

The advent of the new year always occasions within us the urge to look and plan ahead. I spent some time this past week filling in my calendar for 5774 with commitments made and projects planned for the coming good and blessed new year. Yet there always hovers over us the uncertainty, which is the basic stuff of life itself, of the unknown future that lurks ahead. We are all aware that man merely proposes but only God actually disposes.

NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH Rosh Hashana: Recognizing Reality By Mrs. Shira Smiles

While Rosh Hashanah is the Day of Judgment, Yom Kippur is the day we are purified of our sins. Wouldn’t it be more logical, asks Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer, to have Rosh Hashanah after Yom Kippur so that we can come to judgment with a clean slate? Rabbi Blazer himself offers one answer: Yom Kippur is a day of such sanctity that it is very difficult to reach. By celebrating Rosh Hashanah first, we can use the sanctity of Rosh Hashanah and our trepidation as a stepping stone to reaching the sanctity of Yom Kippur.

YU TORAH Rosh Hashana: Dialectical Emotions Mrs. Shira Smiles By Mrs. Shira Smiles

Rosh Hashanah evokes two contradictory emotions in us. On the one hand, there is joy. After all, this is a yom tov and we are commanded to eat, drink and rejoice. On the other hand, we experience awe and trepidation, for this is the Day of Judgment. How can we reconcile feeling these opposite emotions, these two states of mind, and how can we balance them? The most obvious instance of this anomaly is perhaps the fact that, although it is a yom tov, our feelings of awe and trepidation dictate that we do not recite Hallel as part of the Rosh Hashanah liturgy, the prayer whose every paragraph exudes joy and praise of Hashem,.

CHASSIDIC PEARLS BY RABBI LAZER BRODY PARSHAS HAAZINU

All his ways are justice (Devarim 32:4)). Hashem created the world in the manner that He did, so that we would be able to observe our environment and learn from it. A basic law of physics states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The stronger a bowstring is pulled back, the further the arrow will be projected. Young children learn that their parents remove an object from the store only after giving the shopkeeper the equivalent value in currency. The moment we become aware of the basic action-reaction principle, we begin to see the tremendous harmony and wisdom within Hashem's creation, both in the natural order and in the social order. That's why Rebbe Nachman of Breslev teaches (Likutei Moharan I:1) that a person must observe the Divine wisdom within every phenomenon of creation; by observing the Divine wisdom instilled in a creation, a person attaches himself to that Divine wisdom, and achieves enhanced proximity to Hashem. All his ways are justice alludes to the Divine wisdom that exists in every part of creation. For example, if a person burns a finger because he was playing with fire, he cannot accuse Hashem of being unjust. The action of carelessness with fire triggers the reaction of a burn. In like manner, Hashem has promised throughout the Torah that the action of observing the Torah's laws will bring about a reaction of Divine blessings in this world and the next; the opposite holds true as well. Maybe you disagree, and say, "Wait a minute – there are wicked people that do evil things and they don't get hit with a bolt of lightning or swallowed up by the ground. Where's Hashem's justice? Even worse, how many times do we see wicked tyrants on top of the world, enjoying money and success? The score of a football game at halftime doesn't determine the winner. A person that pays for an expensive ticket certainly doesn't leave the stadium in the middle of the game, without knowing the outcome. Therefore, when it appears that wicked people are living happy, carefree, and affluent lives, don't be impressed – the game's not over. All his ways are justice – rest assured that every human on earth is held totally accountable for everything that he or she does

RAV KOOK ON Ha'azinu: The Diversity of Israel

An old anecdote relates how a certain a Jew was stranded for many years on a deserted island. When he was finally rescued, he boasted of his many accomplishments on the island — including the construction of two synagogues. 'Very impressive,' responded his rescuers. 'But why two synagogues?' 'This is the shul that I attend', the man replied. 'The other is the shul I refuse to step foot in.' The joke would not be humorous if it didn't contain a kernel of truth. The Jewish people often seems to be 'blessed' with an overabundance of infighting. Why so much division and conflict? The Borders of the Nations The song of Ha'azinu compares the heritage of Israel to that of the other nations of the world: "When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance ... He set up the borders of the nations, corresponding to the number of Israel's children." (Deut. 32:8) The verse is unclear. What are these "borders of the nations"?
