On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The Fourth of July 2022 is on Monday, July 4, 2022. Sofer on Site Monday, July 4, 12:00 pm On July 4th, Rabbi Druin from Sofer on Site will be coming to check out Torah.

Israel has shown that they can not rise to the challenge of taking the Promised Land. Hashem has assured them that they will be successful and it would seem all they would have had to do was just make the effort. Unfortunately, they didn’t even have that faith even after what Hashem had done for them previously. It would now seem that even Moses and Aaron were succumbing to the pressure of caring for Israel. Aaron is told prepare for his demise and that it would be his older son, Eleazar who would take his place as the High Priest of Israel. This is because of the Golden Calf and the gossiping. Moses as well is now doomed to die in the wilderness without experiencing the land of milk and honey. The people are thirsty, and Moses does not follow Hashem’s directions to bring forth water. The price of not sanctifying Hashem, the same words used to explain why Nadab and Abihu, Aaron’s sons, were struck down for offering the wrong incense at the wrong time in the wrong place. Even someone as great as Moses can succumb to his human frailties. Having said that, we all have the benefit of hindsight. How would we all have behaved had we been there in the wilderness 3200 years ago? Would we have trusted in Hashem? Do we do so now in times of trouble? Consider…. Parecería que todas las quejas y el estrés de liberarse han pasado factura a todos. Israel ha demostrado que no puede estar a la altura del desafío de tomar la Tierra Prometida. Hashem les ha asegurado que tendrán éxito y parecería que todo lo que habrían tenido que hacer sería hacer el esfuerzo. Desafortunadamente, ni siquiera tenían esa fe incluso después de lo que Hashem había hecho por ellos anteriormente. Ahora parecería que incluso Moisés y Aarón estaban sucumbiendo a la presión de cuidar a Israel. Se le dice a Aarón que se prepare para su muerte y que sería su hijo mayor, Eleazar, quien tomaría su lugar como Sumo Sacerdote de Israel. Esto se debe al becerro de oro y los chismes. Moisés también está ahora condenado a morir en el desierto sin experimentar la tierra de leche y miel. El pueblo tiene sed y Moisés no sigue las instrucciones de Hashem de sacar agua. El precio de no santificar a Hashem, las mismas palabras usadas para explicar por qué Nadab y Abiú, los hijos de Aarón, fueron abatidos por ofrecer el incienso equivocado en el momento equivocado en el lugar equivocado. Incluso alguien tan grande como Moisés puede sucumbir a sus debilidades humanas. Habiendo dicho eso, todos tenemos el beneficio de la retrospectiva. ¿Cómo nos hubiéramos comportado todos si hubiéramos estado allí en el desierto hace 3200 años? ¿Habríamos confiado en Hashem? ¿Lo hacemos ahora en tiempos de angustia? Considerar….

On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The Fourth of July 2022 is on Monday, July 4, 2022. Sofer on Site July 4. Time to be announced On July 4th, Rabbi Druin from Sofer on Site will be coming to check out Torah.

Torah Portion: Numbers 16:1-18:32 https://tikkun.io/#/r/4-16-1 Parashat Korach recounts the rebellion of Korach (a cousin of Moses and Aaron), Dathan, Abiram, and 250 of their followers. Some rebels are swallowed by the ground, while others are consumed by a fire from God and others die in a plague. The portion ends by describing gifts given to priests and Levites. [1] Triennial year 3 1: 17:25-18:7 · 11 p’sukim · 2: 18:8-10 · 3 p’sukim · 3: 18:11-13 · 3 p’sukim · 4: 18:14-20 · 7 p’sukim · 5: 18:21-24 · 4 p’sukim · 6: 18:25-29 · 5 p’sukim · 7: 18:30-32 · 3 p’sukim · maf: 18:30-32 · 3 p’sukim · Haftarah: I Samuel 11:14-12:22 · 24 p’sukim Commentary and Divrei Torah: Sefaria OU Torah Jewish Theological Seminary Soncino Chumash: pp. 645 - 648 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 638 - 648) Artscroll Chumash: pp. 830 - 837 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 820 - 837) Etz Chaim Chumash: pp. 868 - 875 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 860 - 875) With the pronouncement that this generation of Israel will die off in the wilderness after the spies sowed fear into the community that taking the promised land would result in their demise, it’s only natural to consider that discontent prevails. A few opportunists now see a good time to take control and themselves be in charge. So they start looking for ways to take power. We have the rebellion of Korach, who as a Levite looked to supplant Aaron and Moses as the Top Priest. We also have Dathan and Abiram from the tribe of Reuben who were resentful that the rights of first-born was taken away from their tribe. Other Israelites followed them. Their attempts were for naught as they were put down by Hashem. The parashat goes on about after these incidents to discuss the dedication and consecration of the first-born to Hashem and the Cohenim. This is the beginning of the Pidyon HaBah, the redemption of the first-born sons at 31 days of age. But perhaps the real thrust of this parashat are the reactions of Moses and Aaron to Hashem’s wanting to penalize Israel with death. Again, Moses and Aaron, the subject of these attacks, plead for mercy for their people. They put aside their own egos in order to care about these people. Consider that this is the real message of this parashat. If Moses and Aaron can show this level of compassion for people who hate them, we should take a lesson. Parashat Koraj 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת קוֹרַח 2 julio 2022 / 3 Tamuz 5782 (Diáspora) Parashat Koraj es la porción semanal número 38 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Números 16:1-18:32 https://tikkun.io/#/r/4-16-1 Parashat Koraj relata la rebelión de Koraj (un primo de Moisés y Aarón), Datán, Abiram y 250 de sus seguidores. Algunos rebeldes son tragados por la tierra, mientras que otros son consumidos por un fuego de Dios y otros mueren en una plaga. La porción termina describiendo los regalos dados a los sacerdotes y levitas. [1] Soncino Chumash: págs. 645 - 648 Año Trienal 3 (Kriyah completo págs. 638 - 648) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 830 - 837 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 820 - 837) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 868 - 875 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 860 - 875) Con el pronunciamiento de que esta generación de Israel morirá en el desierto después de que los espías sembraron el miedo en la comunidad de que tomar la tierra prometida resultaría en su desaparición, es natural considerar que prevalece el descontento. Algunos oportunistas ahora ven un buen momento para tomar el control y hacerse cargo. Entonces comienzan a buscar formas de tomar el poder. Tenemos la rebelión de Kóraj, quien como levita buscó suplantar a Aarón y Moisés como el Sumo Sacerdote. También tenemos a Datán y Abiram de la tribu de Rubén que estaban resentidos porque los derechos de primogenitura les fueron quitados a su tribu. Otros israelitas los siguieron. Sus intentos fueron en vano ya que Hashem los reprimió. La parashat continúa después de estos incidentes para discutir la dedicación y consagración del primogénito a Hashem y los Cohenim. Este es el comienzo del Pidyon HaBah, la redención de los hijos primogénitos a los 31 días de edad. Pero quizás el verdadero impulso de esta parashá son las reacciones de Moisés y Aarón ante el deseo de Hashem de castigar a Israel con la muerte. Una vez más, Moisés y Aarón, objeto de estos ataques, suplican misericordia para su pueblo. Dejan de lado sus propios egos para preocuparse por estas personas. Considere que este es el verdadero mensaje de esta parashat. Si Moisés y Aarón pueden mostrar este nivel de compasión por las personas que los odian, deberíamos aprender una lección.

Moses sent out spies, one representative from each tribe to scout out the land. While such action is a wise military maneuver, the Israelites once again doubted the word of Hashem who committed to overseeing their actions and bring them to success. The scouts were not up to the task as they brought back a report, that while true, exaggerated the dangers and cause immense distress to the people. Hashem told Moses he’d had enough and doomed them to wander in the wilderness for forty years until this weak nation could die off and bring forth a heartier generation that was up to the task of conquering the promised land with a renewed faith in G-d. Our parashah ends with a new, very important commandment. So that we are constantly reminded of Hashem’s mitzvot, we are to tie a special arrangement of knots on the four corners of our clothing. These tzitzit will remind that every time we look at them, we are not to follow our hearts or our eye, but rather only those commandments.

Parashat Sh'laj 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת שְׁלַח־לְךָ 25 junio 2022 / 26 Sivan 5782 (Diáspora) Parashat Sh'lach es la porción semanal número 37 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Números 13:1-15:41 https://tikkun.io/#/r/4-13-1 Shelach ("Enviar") cuenta la historia de los espías israelitas que viajan a Canaán, el informe negativo que traen de regreso y el castigo resultante decretado sobre los israelitas: vagar y morir en el desierto durante cuarenta años. Termina con las leyes sobre los sacrificios, la historia de un hombre que profana el Shabat y el mandamiento de usar flecos rituales.

Moisés envió espías, un representante de cada tribu para explorar la tierra. Si bien tal acción es una sabia maniobra militar, los israelitas una vez más dudaron de la palabra de Hashem, quien se comprometió a supervisar sus acciones y llevarlas al éxito. Los exploradores no estaban a la altura de la tarea ya que trajeron un informe que, si bien era cierto, exageraba los peligros y causaba una angustia inmensa a la gente. Hashem le dijo a Moisés que ya había tenido suficiente y los condenó a vagar por el desierto durante cuarenta años hasta que esta nación débil pudiera morir y dar a luz una generación más vigorosa que estuviera a la altura de la tarea de conquistar la tierra prometida con una fe renovada en Di-s. Nuestra parashá termina con un mandamiento nuevo y muy importante. Para recordar constantemente las mitzvot de Hashem, debemos hacer un arreglo especial de nudos en las cuatro esquinas de nuestra ropa. Estos tzitzit recordarán que cada vez que los miremos, no debemos seguir nuestro corazón o nuestro ojo, sino solo esos mandamientos.

Torah Portion: Numbers 8:1-12:16 https://tikkun.io/#/r/4-8-1 Beha’alotekha (“When You Raise”) opens with God instructing Moses to inaugurate the Levites for service in the Mishkan (Tabernacle). It also recounts the stories of people who request a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice, complaints of the Israelites and their punishments, and a disease that affects Miriam. [1] Triennial year 3 1: 10:35-11:9 · 11 p’sukim · 2: 11:10-18 · 9 p’sukim · 3: 11:19-22 · 4 p’sukim · 4: 11:23-29 · 7 p’sukim · 5: 11:30-35 · 6 p’sukim · 6: 12:1-13 · 13 p’sukim · 7: 12:14-16 · 3 p’sukim · maf: 12:14-16 · 3 p’sukim · Haftarah: Zechariah 2:14-4:7 · 21 p’sukim Sefaria OU Torah Jewish Theological Seminary Consider the meaning of the word, “integrity”, to doing what’s right even when under pressure to do wrong or no one is watching you. It is having the courage and fortitude to always do what’s right no matter what the circumstances or the temptation. It’s continuing to have that strength of character even when the going gets so rough that it’s easy to dismiss those values. Israel was in the middle of the desert. They had received the Ten Commandments, seen the might of Hashem, drank water, eaten both manna and quail supplied by Hashem. They had seen the protection of the two pillars of cloud to protect them. And now, they start complaining. They are tired of just manna and want meat. They miss Egypt for the unending supply of free fish they had to eat. Likewise, Miriam and Aaron complain about Moses’ neglect of his wife. Consider that faith is believing in something just because. Yet Israel didn’t need faith. They had seen the miracles with their own eyes. We are, unfortunately, starting to see why our ancestors would be doomed to wander in the desert for thirty-nine years. It is starting to look like they lack the fortitude and integrity to continue to be loyal to Hashem even when times are tough. A lesson for the rest of us in times of trouble…. Parashat Beha'alotja 5782 18 junio 2022 / 19 Sivan 5782 (Diáspora) Parashat Beha'alotcha es la porción semanal número 36 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Números 8:1-12:16 Beha'alotekha ("Cuando resucites") comienza con Dios instruyendo a Moisés para inaugurar a los levitas para el servicio en el Mishkan (Tabernáculo). También relata las historias de personas que piden una segunda oportunidad para ofrecer el sacrificio de la Pascua, las quejas de los israelitas y sus castigos, y una enfermedad que afecta a Miriam. [1] Considere el significado de la palabra "integridad" para hacer lo correcto, incluso cuando está bajo presión para hacer lo incorrecto o nadie lo está mirando. Es tener el coraje y la fortaleza para hacer siempre lo correcto sin importar las circunstancias o la tentación. Sigue teniendo esa fuerza de carácter incluso cuando las cosas se ponen tan difíciles que es fácil descartar esos valores. Israel estaba en medio del desierto. Habían recibido los Diez Mandamientos, visto el poder de Hashem, bebido agua, comido maná y codornices proporcionadas por Hashem. Habían visto la protección de las dos columnas de nube para protegerlos. Y ahora, empiezan a quejarse. Están cansados ​​del maná y quieren carne. Extrañan Egipto por el suministro interminable de pescado gratis que tenían para comer. Asimismo, Miriam y Aarón se quejan del descuido de Moisés por su esposa. Considere que la fe es creer en algo porque sí. Sin embargo, Israel no necesitaba fe. Habían visto los milagros con sus propios ojos. Desafortunadamente, estamos empezando a ver por qué nuestros antepasados ​​estarían condenados a vagar por el desierto durante treinta y nueve años. Está empezando a parecer que les falta la fortaleza y la integridad para seguir siendo leales a Hashem incluso cuando los tiempos son difíciles. Una lección para el resto de nosotros en tiempos de problemas...

Torah Portion: Numbers 4:21-7:89 Naso (“Take A Census”), the longest portion in the Torah, opens by detailing responsibilities of the Levites. It also describes laws of a woman suspected of adultery (sotah), the Nazirite, and the priestly blessing. The portion ends by listing the gifts that heads of tribes bring to the Mishkan (Tabernacle).

Each head of the tribe brought the gifts over a period of twelve days, one tribe per day. Each prince offered the same exact number of animals and weight of gold and silver. This chapter is also the readings that are done over the eight days of Hanukkah. The commentary discusses how even though each tribe offered the same gifts, that does not detract from the quality of the offerings. None of the tribes wanted to offer more or less that any of the others. In this way, each of the tribes were equal before Hashem. Similarly, when each of us offers prayers to Hashem, each of us is special to our God. While each of us may be praying the same prayers of our service, we are all, each of us, different. Yet each of us is also special in our own way to our Creator. Naso ("Haz un censo"), la porción más larga de la Torá, comienza detallando las responsabilidades de los levitas. También describe las leyes de una mujer sospechosa de adulterio (sotah), el nazareo y la bendición sacerdotal. La porción termina enumerando los regalos que los jefes de las tribus traen al Mishkán (Tabernáculo). Nuestra porción Trienal se enfoca en los regalos de las tribus, representados por cada príncipe o cabeza, ofreciendo regalos al Mishkán. Cada cabeza de tribu trajo los regalos durante un período de doce días, una tribu por día. Cada príncipe ofreció el mismo número exacto de animales y peso de oro y plata. Este capítulo también son las lecturas que se realizan durante los ocho días de Hanukkah. El comentario discute cómo aunque cada tribu ofreció los mismos regalos, eso no resta valor a la calidad de las ofrendas. Ninguna de las tribus quería ofrecer más o menos que cualquiera de los demás. De esta manera, cada una de las tribus era igual ante Hashem. De manera similar, cuando cada uno de nosotros ofrece oraciones a Hashem, cada uno de nosotros es especial para nuestro Dios. Si bien cada uno de nosotros puede estar rezando las mismas oraciones de nuestro servicio, todos somos, cada uno de nosotros, diferentes. Sin embargo, cada uno de nosotros también es especial a su manera para nuestro Creador.
