Hecht M ^ k s I sat down a few months ago to write this article, we ^ ? ^ ? w e r e in the process of studying the Torah portion known M H as Re'eh - or a translation in English might be Behold or See or Look! This portion deals with several issues, including the keeping of Kosher, and diversity among individuals, plants and ani-mals. Keeping Kosher, as expressed in Re'eh, is indeed tied to Holi-ness but mostly it is tied to being Mindful. We are told to be Mindful of our actions, and mindful of the Gifts G-d has given us, and most especially mindful when we eat, to keep the laws and restrictions handed down to us from our G-d. We are reminded in Re'eh that there is great diversity in every species on this earth. Each human being is different from another; each animal is different from other animals even within their own breed; and each plant is unique unto itself. We are admonished by G-d to not fear or hate that which is different from us. In fact, we are commanded: "You shall love your friend as yourself." The rab-bis take this a step further, saying: "More than the simple com-mandment to 'Love Your Friend" ? the Jew is commanded: "Do not hate your Brother in your heart." Many times when we see someone who behaves differently, or looks different than we do, or worships in a way that we are not ac-customed to worshipping, we have a natural tendency to fear, dis-like, resent, judge or even hate that person. Sometimes we hate them because they remind us of what we could be like, If we are thin, and we someone who is heavy; we might dislike them because we don't want to become heavy ourselves. It is almost like we "hate" the tendency within ourselves to overeat or become fat. We gear that tendency without our own hearts and minds, and so we allow ourselves to make a disparaging comment about or give a strange look to someone who is different than we are. The "mindfulness" that G-d tells us we must practice, is to be mindful about our thoughts and actions, and not allow ourselves to hate with no real reason; in fact, we must attempt to understand those who are different from us and find a way to "bless" them! We read two very beautiful passages in our Sabbath prayer book, Gates of Prayer. They are both prayers of petition. The first says" "0 G-d of Israel, may our worship on this day help us to grow in loyalty to our covenant with You and to the way of life it de-mands" the way of gentleness and justice, the path of truth and of peace." The second petitions G-d's Help and Guidance in our thoughts and actions. It reads: "Let there be love and understand-ing among us, let peace and friendship be our shelter from life's storms. Eternal G-d, help us to walk with good companions, to live with hope in our hearts and eternity in our thoughts, that we may lie down in peace and rise up to find our hearts waiting to do Your Will. Blessed is the Guardian of Israel, Whose Love give Light to all the world!" We are told that G-d's Love does indeed give Light or Chochma (Wisdom) to the entire world. We are taught that we must learn from every hu-man being in this world. Well, you might say, "What could I possibly learn from someone who is evil or unethical or immoral?" The answer, Dear Friend is simply this: Every living being can teach us something. From some we learn, by good ex-ample what we should or could be doing; from oth-ers we learn what is hateful or wrong or offensive to another. And from those individuals we learn what NOT to do! G-d have given the human race a great gift, G-d have given us the gift of HIS Light - Wisdom, so that we can have the ability toi know and choose what we will learn from each person whose life touches ours! My husband was called to Hospice recently, to help a family deal with the impending death of their beloved wife, mother and grandmother. Rabbi had just undergone knee surgery and was not yet driving, so I took him over to minister to this family. While I waited for him, I was drawn into a conversation with the Hospice Chaplain and a chaplain in training. They asked my opinions on how they could better serve their community of nurses, volunteers and care divers, in helping them too deal with the sense of loss they experi-ence when they "lose" a patient to death. Having been trained in the processing of death and dying m they had hoped I might bring a dimension to their conversation that they may have overlooked, Many times when we work so closely with a situa-tion, it becomes difficult to be totally objective. So of course an opinion from an outsider might help us to see things from a different perspective. I had been studying Re'eh all week, and was thinking about it when they approached me, It was fresh in my mind, and many answers just seemed to "flow" from me, not because I am "so smart", but because I had been given the ideas and an-swers as a gift from my study. The main idea of Re'eh comes from the Words of G-d: "Behold! I have set before you this day a Blessing an a Curse.... Choose the Blessing that you may live!" I had been processing that thought all week long, "House of the People" TEMPLE BETH AM 3 so the advice came easily for me. I spoke with them of may ways they might help their staff to "process" the sense of loss they feel on a daily ba-sis. But the one thing that stands out in my mind; the one thing that I would like to share with you this day is quite simply this: B'Shalom, Rebbetzen Micki D.

That movie is Pay It Forward. What a wonderful concept! You do a good deed for three people and they, instead of pay-ing you back, each do a good deed for three other people. The good deeds multiply exponen-tially. I do believe that the perfection of the world Tikkun Ha Olum would not be too far off, should each and every one of us on every continent adopt this philosophy. OK, I know that trying to get the whole world to do this is unrealistic, but how about our community, our suburb or our city. Hopefully you know where I'm going with this. Wouldn't it be wonderful to do something like this in our congregational family of Temple Beth Am. Yes, there are some that constantly are doing for the good of our community, but imagine if every congregant did something like this. Our Kol Nidre Appeal was wonderful. We really made huge strides in the right direction. As this article goes to print we are $25,000 short of our $500,000 down payment. To think that nearly three years ago, building our community was all just a dream ? merely a wonderful goal in the backs of our minds. This Board of Trustees took this dream and decided to give it all they had to really make a difference in the community. We have all worked tirelessly in our own way to keep our congregational fam-ily focused on "the goal". Imagine now if every congregant decided that, during this final phase of actually starting the building that they were going to go all out and do everything they could do get donations of any kind or amount from others to make this all work. As the eternal optimist, I live every day hop-ing that at the end of it all, I did make a differ-ence in the community in which we live. Also, that I have taught my children the lesson that it is wonderful to pay it all forward with no pay-back of any sort. It's an incredible feeling at night, after another long day, that I made a big difference. I made a big difference by being given the opportunity to live another day in good health surrounded by a wonderfully supportive family and congregation. Now, the High Holidays, a time of reflection, are over. Now it is Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks for our blessings. I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your support - you truly are a blessing unto the Temple. Happy Thanksgiving. Religious School Events Nov. 3 ? Family Shabbat ?

"House of the People" TEMPLE BETH AM 7 Brotherhood News Learn about the Holocaust From a Survivor Who Will Share His Real-Life Experiences With You Brotherhood has been planning a breakfast event for some time now. Several different kinds of programs have been discussed. But when all was said and done, Brotherhood decided to join with Sister-hood for a very special December 3rd Bagel & Lox Breakfast. On that Sunday morning, starting at 9:00 am, Bagels, Lox and Cream Cheese will be waiting at Temple Beth Am. But the best news is that im-mediately following will be a very special presentation by Alexander Kuechel, a Holocaust survivor and an active member of the Holocaust Survivors Group of Southern Nevada. We are taking reservations for this special breakfast now. The modest fee is $4 for Temple Beth Am members, and $5 for non members. If you don't make your reservations now, the price will be going up. After De-cember 1, and at the door, admission will be $6 for members, and $7 for non-members. So get your names into the office along with your check today. When Will the Lord be Two? Each night , as 4-year-old Sarah is tucked into bed by her parents, they say the Shema: "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." After many nights, Sarah finally asks; "Mommy, when will the Lord be two?" And so we have the title of a new book by Ruth Seligman and Johathan Mark (Kensington), collecting all those cure remarks that kids make. This is a book about being Jewish; specifically, a child's view of being Jewish. What follows is a series of short excerpts from the book. Enjoy. And perhaps, buy the book. The Ten Commandments There are actually not ten commandments. There are one hundred sixty thousand.... Jonathan, age 11 What the Sabbath is: G-d said everyone should have the day off, like He did ... Timothy, age 8 As in What G-d Does G-d lives in the world and in the Temple, which is his house. When the blue light is on over the Ark where the Torahs are, that means He's home.... Richard, age 4 G-d makes the world round. If it gets straight He gets really, really mad.... Grace, Age 3 You get the idea. It's a wonderful book. 8 THE SHOFAR November 2000 Simcha's Torah Stories ? No More, No Less Parschas Naso by Simcha Groffman ? Ohr Somayach International K u w K ommy, I'm home. t l m m Chaim, how are you? It is getting late and we were starting to get a little wor-ried. I'm fine, Mommy. I was hav-ing such a good time at he Bar Mitzvah that I decided to stay a little later. Please tell me all about it Chaim. What is the name of the Bar Mitzvah boy? Yaakov Hirsch. Is he from the Hirsch family that belongs to our synagogue? Yes Mommy. He is their sec-ond son. They are a very wealthy fam-ily, Chaim. No wonder you stayed a long time at the Bar Mitzvah. It must have been a very fancy affair. I am sure the food and decorations were very luxurious. Not really, Mommy. It was very nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. I stayed long because I was having a great time. Eve-ryone was so warm and friendly. The Hirsch family is very special. They are so hum-ble that you would never know that they are wealthy. I am impressed Chaim. Here is a family that could have made a very lavish affair, yet they chose to be no different from everyone else. They re-mind me of Nesanel Ben Tsuar. When was his Bar Mitzvah? About 3,200 year ago. Mommy, you're joking. No, I am not, Chaim. He was one of the princes of Israel in the desert. He participated in the inauguration of the Mishakan (Tabernacle), Bet-zalel and his artisans built the Mishaken. Moshe Rabbainu as-sembled it. Ahron Hakohen of-fered up the first sacrifices. Then came a big inauguration ceremony where each of the Princes brought an offering to the Mishkan. The first day, Nachshon Ben Aminadav, the Price of the tribe of Yehuda brought a beautiful offering consisting of gold, silver, a meal offering, oil, and several ani-mals. Then came the second day. Nasanel Ben Ttsuar, Prince of the tribe of Yissachar had his opportunity. He could have brought an even bigger and more elaborate offering. After all, he was a wealthy man, the Prince of his tribe. A fancy offer-ing would have brought honor to himself and his tribe. I can't wait to hear what he brought. He brought the exact same offering as Nachshon. Not only that, all of the other Princes fol-lowed his example and brought the exact same offering. Why did they do that, Mommy? Chaim, I will tell you how the Chofetz Chaim explains this event. Nesanel did not want to provoke jealousy among the Princes and the tribes. If he had brought a nicer offering than Nachshon, then each succes-sive Prince would feel obligated to bring an ever nicer one.. Ri-valry and jealousy would arise. That was so considerate of him. You're right Chaim. It gave G-d such pleasure to see His chil-dren (the Jewish people) getting along so well. He wrote down each Princes's offering sepa-rately in the Torah. We all know that the Torah does not waste words. Seventy-two verses are devoted to these wonderful acts of peace and cooperation. Mommy, I can think of an-other benefit of Nesanel's act. What is that, Chaim? If they were trying to outdo each other, then a Prince who could not afford a fancier offer-ing would be embarrassed, He might even become poor to buy an offering to keep up with the others. When everyone has the same standard, then no one has to spend lots of money try-ing to outdo the other. Chaim, you are very percep-tive. Just think about how much money is wasted on overly fancy things. You don't know how many people become poor because they feel they must keep up with the standard of luxury. The Hirsch family has taught us all a lesson about what is really important at a Bar Mitz-vah. It is not the fancy food, clothing , and decorations. It is the consideration for other peo-ple, and the warmth that brings peace. No more, no less. Mommy, I am sure that G-d had a lot of pleasure from that Bar Mitzvah. That is because the Hirsh family had the same standard as everyone else. No more, no less.
