From lisar at cbi-nj.org Fri Jun 22 12:45:06 2007 From: lisar at cbi-nj.org (Lisa Roth) Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 12:45:06 -0400 Subject: [CBI] email announcement 6/23/07 Message-ID: <0JK100937QJ6EDK3@vms040.mailsrvcs.net> Shabbat Chukat June 23, 2007 7 Tammuz 5767 Congregation B'nai Israel Millburn, New Jersey Schedule of Services Friday evening..........8:15pm Shabbat morning......... 9:00am Torah for Tots.........10:30am Tefilot Ketanim........10:45am Weekday morning........7:10am Sunday morning...........8:30am Sunday-Thursday evening....8:00pm Learners & Journeyers Minyan..10:30am Parshat Chukat - The Torah portion that we read three weeks ago told us that, "the people were as murmurers, speaking evil on the ears of the Lord." Two weeks ago, we read of B'nai Yisroel's response to the negative report of the ten scouts: "All the children of Israel murmured against Moshe and Aaron, saying, 'Would that we had died in Egypt!'" We read last week of the organized rebellion of Korach and the chieftans of each tribe, "who rose up in the face of Moshe." This week, the parasha continues the pattern of complaints, pessimism and revolution: "And there was no water for the assembly, so they gathered themselves together against Moshe and Aaron and they quarreled with Moshe." God instructs Moshe to take his staff, assemble the people and speak to the rock, which would then miraculously pour forth water. Insteads, Moshe strikes the rock with his staff and God sentences him to die before reaching the promised land of Canaan. What was Moshe's sin that he was punished so severely?

Babylonian religion . taught that certain persons had the power of directing or changing the decree of the gods, and could by their spells and incantations secure prosperity or call forth calamity ." - Hertz's commentary.

Mattot prefaces with the seriousness of swearing an oath and legislates the rights of women regarding their ability to make oaths. It is of interest that the divorced or widowed woman is regarded by text as independent and with full authority to enter the commitment of a vow. The main element of this parsha concerns the war of vengeance against Midian. It is to be Moshe's final act of leadership. Moshe insists on the decimation of the Midianites, and, as Hertz comments, "The war against the Midianites presents peculiar difficulties." Massai gives a recounting of the entire 40 year sojourn in the wilderness. Here, Moshe also establishes various cities of refuge, to be managed by the Lev'im, his own tribe. The Torah portion ends with an affirmation of the clan's right of territorial preservation. At the last verse, the congregation rises. After it is read, we chant: CHAZAK, CHAZAK, V'NITCHAZEK (Be strong, be strong and we will strengthen each other) The Haftorah is connected to the period of the Three Weeks of Mourning commemorating the destruction of the Holy Temple. Our tradition states that both Temples were destroyed on the same date, the 9th of Av.

As the Latin name for this book indicates, it represents a "Second Law." Devarim constitutes Moses' farewell address before his demise as he reviews the history and laws of the Israelites. This portion of Devarim is always read on the Sabbath before the Fast of Tisha B'av, the 9th day of Av. Tisha B'av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar and commemorates the destruction of both Holy Temples in Jerusalem, in 586 BCE and 70 CE. Precisely at such a sad period of time, we begin a review of the Torah, which conveys the assurance of ultimate redemption and salvation. Though the sacred sites of Jerusalem were burned and Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land came to a brutal end, inherent in our faith is the hope for repentance, return and redemption. The Talmud teaches us that those who mourn the destruction of Jerusalem will merit to see its holy places rebuilt. May the fast this coming Tuesday be an easy and meaningful one, and may we find comfort in the words of the Tisha B'av liturgy, "Oh God, console the mourners of Zion and the mourners of Jerusalem... and rebuild her."

Moses is however granted a view of the Promised Land and a vision of the future. Moses instructs the Children of Israel to pay attention and follow the laws given by God in order to be worthy of the land they are about to receive. "The Lord made this covenant not with our ancestors but with us, who are here, alive today." The Ten Commandments are repeated and Moses instructs Israel to observe the laws and ordinances. Specific areas of the land are set aside to serve as cities of refuge. Moses speaks the words of the Sh'ma, the credo of Judaism, and one of the famous commandments found in this parshah is, on the surface, one of the strangest in the Torah: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might". Moses then warns the people not to commit idolatry by worshiping the gods of the nations they will conquer in Israel. The Haftorah, which gives this Shabbat its name ("Nachamu"), is always recited on the Shabbat following Tisha B'Av. Mincha - 8:19 Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Bima flowers as well as the Oneg have been sponsored by Sisterhood.

He cautions them that if they wish to reap the promised rewards of divine protection and the defeat of their enemies as they take possession of the Promised Land, they must abide by their covenantal commitment to God. If they worship other gods, or commit other lapses as defined by the covenant, it may lead to exile and/or destruction. It also would be arrogant to assume that Israelite success attests to our own power. The Israelites' behavior has made God angry many times, most notably in the incident of the golden calf, which resulted in the destruction of the original tablets of the Ten Commandments. After much supplication, God invited Moses to fashion a second set of tablets. Moses reviews this slice of history to help the Israelites focus on their commitment to obey the divine commandments. The gift of the Promised Land is contingent on Israel's continued faithfulness under the covenant. Israel is to maintain a special relationship with God: "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you but to fear the Lord, to walk in His ways and to love Him."

They are to stand on one mountain and pronounce the blessing that God set before them; on another mountain, Eval, they will repeat the curse. This procedure seeks to highlight the choices that we are regularly called upon to make in our lives. Further anticipating entry into the Promised Land, the Israelites are told to destroy all pagan shrines and to centralize worship at a single place, which God will choose for them. Until then the Israelites were able to eat meat only in conjunction with a sacrifice. The proscription against consuming blood is repeated, because it applies both to animals sacrificed in the temple and to animals that are slaughtered outside the sacrificial system to provide the Israelites with kosher meat. The prohibition to eat milk and meat together is also repeated here. An additional warning against conforming to Canaanite religious practices follows, as do laws concerning a false prophet, a person who entices others to worship false gods, and a city whose residents behave badly. The next few sections deal with the intersection between social equity and ritual. This is followed by rules relating to sh'mitah, the sabbatical year. In its discussion of sh'mitah, Leviticus 25 emphasizes the return of land to its original owners, but here the text ordains that loans should be cancelled in the seventh year. This appears to be intended as an opportunity for destitute farmers, who may have been weighed down by the loans they had to take out in order to survive, to begin again with a clean slate. These laws are followed by exhortations to be sensitive to the needs of the poor. The concluding section of our parashah contains laws about first-born animals, which were to be dedicated to God, as well as guidelines on how to observe the three pilgrimage festivals.

Crimes must be investigated and evidence thoroughly examined - a minimum of two credible witnesses is required for conviction. In every generation, says Moses, there will be those entrusted with the task of interpreting and applying the laws of the Torah. "According to the law that they will teach you, and the judgment they will instruct you, you shall do; you shall not turn away from the thing that they say to you, to the right nor to the left." Shoftim also includes the prohibitions against idolatry and sorcery; laws governing the appointment and behavior of a king; and guidelines for the creation of "cities of refuge" for the inadvertent murderer. Also set forth are many of the rules of war: the exemption from battle for one who is engaged or newly married, built a home, planted a vineyard or is " afraid and soft-hearted"; the requirement to offer terms of peace before attacking a city; the prohibition against wanton destruction of something of value, exemplified by the law that forbids to cut down a fruit tree when laying siege (in this context the Torah makes the famous statement " For man is a tree of the field"). The Parshah concludes with the law of Eglah Arufah - the special procedure to be followed when a person is killed by an unknown murderer and his body is found in a field - which underscores the responsibility of the community and its leaders not only for what they do but also for what they might have prevented from being done.

This week's parashah is predominantly moral and legal in nature. Some laws are reviewed in anticipation of entering the Promised Land, while other laws are set forth for the first time. We read this week about marriage, divorce, and family laws; anti-poverty legislation; laws concerning corporal punishment; requirements for fair business practices; legislation concerning safety and accident-prevention; marital and sexual misconduct; forbidden relationships; and even laws concerning criminals who already have been executed. The underlying current in this week's parashah is the need to provide protection for the most helpless members of society. Our parashah closes with a commandment to remember the behavior of Amalek, who attacked the Israelite camp when the Israelites were helpless, shortly after they left Egypt.

The Israelites are called upon to rededicate themselves to their covenant with God. Failure to fulfill the covenant inevitably will lead to disaster but the people will always have the opportunity to repent, to return to God, and to be redeemed from punishment and exile. The people are exhorted to choose life over death and good over evil by choosing to follow the proper path by fulfilling God's laws and statutes. On the verge of the Israelites' entry into the Promised Land, Moses explains that he is nearing the end of his life and announces that Joshua will lead them into the Promised Land. He commands Joshua and the people to be strong and resilient in adhering to God's word. Moses directs the people to read the Teaching aloud, publicly, at regular intervals. Procedures are set in place for writing down the Teaching and for making the people aware of its content at regular intervals. The Hebrew word for the command to gather the people is "hak-hel," related to the more familiar nouns "kahal" (congregation) and "kehilah" (community). The reading concludes with reference to a poem outlining the cycle of behavior that will follow the death of Moses, in which the people will turn astray from the covenant. This poem is to serve as both witness and warning for B'nai Israel. Mincha - 7:21 pm Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sisterhood has graciously sponsored the Oneg, the Kiddush and the flowers that adorn the Bima. .* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MINYAN ROTATION: We remind all families with last names beginning with KROL and ending with LINDAUER that we need your support and attendance during morning and evening minyans in the coming week.

The passages about the sukkah and the four species - lulav (palm branch), etrog (citron), hadassim (myrtle), and aravot (willows) - are particularly interesting. Note the midrashic explanation given on page 730. Shabbat Hol Hamoed's reading focuses on the Covenant of Compassion, in which God "reveals" Himself and provides Moses with a list of 13 divine attributes to be invoked through prayer when the people Israel are in special need. We are familiar with these 13 attributes because they form a recurrent theme within the penitential prayers of the High Holy Days. Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Sukkot arrangement that adorns the Bima is sponsored by the Dantus Family in honor of Steven Stern, Sharon and Mark Richman in honor of Ruth and Edward Richman, Risa and Evan Wasserman in honor of Robert Schiffman and Murray Wasserman. Men's Club has graciously sponsored Thursday's Kiddush. Sisterhood has graciously sponsored Friday and Saturday's Kiddush. .* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MINYAN ROTATION: We remind all families with last names beginning with McGARR and ending with NATELSON that we need your support and attendance during morning and evening minyans in the coming week.

It is painless and will not cost you a single penny. Yet the benefits of this mitzvah can be life changing to a fellow Jew you may not even know. In our own Jewish community, let alone our own synagogue, there are many unemployed or under-employed people who are struggling to maintain their Jewish family. The Jewish Vocational Service is trying to change this through a "Jobs for Jews" Program. If you are a business owner, I urge you to first post your jobs using this free service before you try a commercial service. If you work for someone and hear of a job opening, forward the information to the JVS or tell your employer about this free job listing service. The website is mwjobs.org. On Maimonides' Ladder of Tzedakah, the eighth and highest rung is giving people the skills to become self-sufficient and the gift of no longer needing charity: the gift of a job. If we don't stand up and help our fellow Jews, how can we expect others to do so. This mitzvah is so simple yet so powerful. In this new year let all who are in need find a fulfilling job. ________________________________________________________ EVENTS B'nai Israel''s Family Israel Trip With Rabbi Steven Bayar and Janice Colmar December 22, 2007 - January 1, 2008 For information and application forms please call Janice Colmar at 973-379-1134 Itineraries and applications can be viewed and downloaded at www.israeltour.com/janicecolmar.itc ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Homework Buddies: do you know a grade school child who could benefit from one on one tutoring in math, reading, etc? or someone who could benefit from homework guidance or help?

Even if you are well acquainted with the basic story line, there are opportunities to probe deeper and to explore the values that lie beneath the surface of the text. If you are willing to undertake the challenge, the rabbi and the congregation will make every effort to match your efforts through weekly Torah study. On Simhat Torah, we conclude the Torah cycle ? and then promptly begin again. On Shabbat, we read parashat B?reisheit, which opens with the familiar story of creation. God is depicted as creating the world in seven days. Every aspect of creation is portrayed as being purposeful, not random. The culmination of God?s work is the creation of a day of rest. Man is situated in the Garden of Eden and presented with Woman, who will be his peer and partner. They are given rules about the fruit of the trees in the Garden, and they break these rules. Thus ends their idyllic stay in that idyllic environment. Adam and Eve have children. These children, once grown, manage to argue until one kills the other. The Torah spares us the details of their bickering, as if to assert that the particulars of the argument are far less important than their utter lack of respect for human life. The balance of the parashah occupies itself mostly with the genealogy of the generations between Adam and Noah. At the end of the parashah, we are told that God was dissatisfied with the behavior of the creatures in the world that God had created. This sets the stage for next week?s story of Noah. Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * The Sukkot arrangement that adorns the Bima is sponsored by the Dantus Family in memory of Steven Stern, Sharon and Mark Richman in memory of Julius Schmerrler, Ruth and Edward Richman, Risa and Evan Wasserman in memory of Robert Schiffman and Murray Wasserman.

On his behalf I am asking you to recite one of several psalms and the misheberach (healing prayer) for his wellbeing. Below are suggested texts: Steven Bayar, Rabbi Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want Giving me repose in greeen meadows, Leading me beside the still waters to revive my spirit, Guiding me on the right path, for that is God's essence. Though I walk through a valley of the shadow of death, I fear no harm, for You are with me. Your staff and Your rod comfort me. You prepare a banquet for me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and kindness shall be my portion All the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Psalm 91 One who dwells in the shelter of the most High and abides in the shadow of the Almighty. I say the Lord is my refuge and fortress My God in whom I trust. For God will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; God will cover you with his pinions and under God's wings you will find refuge God's faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. Because you have made the Lord your refuge and the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you no scourge come near your tent. For God will give angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot Because we cleave to God in love, God will deliver us. God will protect us because God knows our names. When we call to God, God will answer us. God will be with us in time of trouble God will rescue us and honor us. With long life God will satisfy us and show us redemption. Misheberach: May the one who blessed our ancestors, Abraham Isaac and Jacob, Sarah Rebecca Rachel and Leah, bless and heal Michael Weinstein. Our community prays on his behalf. May God send him complete healing, to make and keep him whole, along with all those who are ill. Amen.

But first, God tells Noah to build an ark in which he and his family, animals and birds will survive the flood. Forty days of rain and a flood lasting for a year wipe out all life on earth, save only those in the ark, who leave the ark to begin again. Noah?s first act upon leaving the ark is to offer sacrifices of gratitude to God. God blesses Noah and his family and places the rainbow in the sky as a sign of the covenant between God and man; God will not again bring a flood to destroy all living creatures. Noah then plants a vineyard, makes wine, and becomes drunk, leading to the cursing of Noah?s grandson Canaan. The descendents of Noah?s sons, Shem, Ham, and Yaphet are listed. The portion concludes with the story of the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of humanity and the ten generations from Noah to Abraham. The reading can be found on page 41 of the Etz Hayim chumash. Mincha ? 6:23 pm Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * The flowers that adorn the Bima, along with the Oneg on Friday evening, are sponsored by Karen and Hank Sendyk in honor of their son Asher?s Bar Mitzvah.

Famine drives them to Egypt where Abram identifies Sarai as his sister in order to save his life. Abram and Lot separate. Lot, taken captive, is rescued by Abram. Because Sarai is barren, she urges Abram to take her servant Hagar as a concubine, who conceives and bears his son Ishmael. God establishes a covenant with Abram. The sign of this covenant is circumcision on the eighth day following a male baby's birth. "The word of Adonai came to him [Abram] in reply: 'That one shall not be your heir; none but your very own issue shall be your heir.' "God took him outside and said, 'Look toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them.' And God added, 'So shall your offspring be.' " (Genesis 15:4-5) "God took him outside," Its literal meaning is, God took him outside his tent so that he could look at the stars. Its midrashic meaning is, Go forth from (give up) your astrological speculation-that you have seen by the planets that you will not raise a son. Abram may have no son, but Abraham will have a son; Sarai may not bear a child, but Sarah will. I will give you other names and your destiny (mazal/ planet/luck) will be changed. (Rashi on Genesis 15:5) The reading can be found on page 69 of the Etz Hayim chumash.

Reserve your copy through the school office by October 9 for delivery on the 22nd. Relationships with teenage children can be maddening and frustrating. They undergo the most peculiar transition from children you think you know into mysterious adolescent strangers you often wish you didn't. Drawing upon the teachings, insights, and wisdom that have sustained the Jewish people throughout the generations, this groundbreaking and invaluable guidebook will help you navigate the tumultuous journey of parenting a Jewish child into adulthood while asking-and answering-important questions, including: . How is my Jewish teen's life different from my life when I was a teen? . How do I cope with the pain of separation as my child enters the teenage years? . What are the causes of the conflict between me and my teen, and how can I help our family move through our most difficult moments? . How must my own behavior change as my teen grows older? . Is it possible to live with differences in Jewish belief and observance within the same family during my child's teenage years? . What are the unique challenges of parenting Jewish teens in special situations, such as an interfaith home; a special-needs teen; an adopted teen; or a teen who is engaged in risky or self-destructive behaviors? ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________ CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL Family Hike CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL South Mountain Reservation We will meet in the Tulip Springs Parking Lot (near the intersection of South Orange Ave. & Cherry Lane/Brookside Drive) Sunday, November 4, 1pm -3pm We will be taking a small hike through South Mountain Reservation and learning a bit about nature.

They tell him that Sarah will bear a son. Sarah overhears and laughs in disbelief. God tells Abraham that He has decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham challenges God: "Will You sweep away the innocent along with the guilty?" Abraham then bargains with God, Who promises not to destroy the cities if 50, 45, 40, 30, 20, even 10 righteous people can be found there. Two angels arrive in Sodom and are greeted by Lot. The angels urge Lot and his family to flee. They leave, but Lot's wife disobeys the instruction not to look back and is turned into a pillar of salt. After the destruction, Lot's daughters, believing that no one else is left alive, trick their father into incestuous unions and each bears a son, and the text labels them the founders of the nations of Ammon and Moab. Abraham and Sarah travel to Gerar, where the peculiar story of Abraham claiming his wife to be his sister is told again, this time to King Abimelech. God's promise is fulfilled, and Abraham and Sarah's son Isaac is born. At Sarah's insistence, Abraham sends away Ishmael and his mother Hagar, who are left to wander in the desert parched, until God guides Hagar to a well. God promises Hagar that her son will become a great nation. Abraham and Abimelech make a covenant of peace at Be'er-sheva. The parashah concludes with the dramatic Akedah, the story of the binding and near-sacrifice of Isaac. Today's reading begins on page 99 of the Etz Hayim chumash. Mincha - 6:02 pm Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * The Oneg and the flowers that adorn the Bima are co-sponsored by Liz & Roger Koman and Lynn & Jeffrey Cohn in honor of the B'nai Mitzvah's of their sons, Dean Koman and Todd Cohn.

Abraham negotiates the purchase of a burial site with Ephron of the Hittities and buys the cave of Machpelah and the field surrounding it from him. Abraham sends his senior servant (unnamed here but known as Eliezer based on a verse in Lekh Lekha) to his family in Aram-naharaim to find an appropriate bride for Isaac. Eliezer arrives at his destination and asks God for a sign - the woman who will become Isaac's wife would be kind and generous and would draw water for Eliezer and his camels. Almost immediately, Rebecca arrives at the well and passes his test. Eliezer learns that she is the granddaughter of Abraham's brother Nahor and realizes that God has guided him to the right woman. Eliezer is invited to Rebecca's home, where he explains the purpose of his journey to her brother Laban and father Bethuel. They agree to allow Rebecca to go with Eliezer. Rebecca also agrees and accompanies Eliezer to Canaan, where she becomes Isaac's wife. Abraham dies at 175 and is buried by his two sons Isaac and Ishmael in the cave of Machpelah. The parashah concludes with the genealogy of Ishmael's descendents. The Torah reading is found on page 127 in the Chumash Etz Hayim. Mincha - 5:54 pm Candlelighting time is 18 minutes before Mincha. * * * * * * * * The food baskets that adorn the Bima are sponsored by Krista and James Friedman in honor of the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Allison.

Feeling the children struggling within her, she goes to inquire of God, and is told that there are two nations in her womb. Rebecca gives birth to the twins Esau and Jacob. When the boys grow up, Esau, Isaac's favorite, becomes a hunter, while Jacob, Rebecca's favorite, is a homebody. Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a pot of stew. Because of a famine, Isaac and Rebecca go to Gerar, a Philistine community. God appears to Isaac and confirms the covenant He had made with Abraham. Like his father, Isaac tells the Philistines that Rebecca is his sister and his lie is discovered. Isaac prospers, inciting the envy of the Philistines, who stop up the wells originally dug by Abraham. Abimelech, king of Gerar, sends Isaac away and further conflict over water ensues. Isaac travels to Beersheva and concludes a peace treaty with Abimelech. When Isaac becomes old and blind, he announces his intention to bless Esau. Rebecca conspires with Jacob, who deceives his father and secures the blessing. When Esau discovers that his blessing has been stolen, he vows to kill Jacob after their father has died. Overhearing, Rebecca tells Jacob to flee to the home of her brother Laban in Haran.

Happy Thanksgiving Rabbi Steven Bayar It is good to give thanks. To inhale the crisp air Laced with wood smoke and peat, To feel welcome warmth as we venture inside, To sniff the aromas of savory gravies, Of nutmeg and cinnamon, berries and wine. Tov l?hodot It is good to give thanks. To be seated at tables with friends and with family, To join hands and embrace, To share smiles and stories, To count all our blessings, To recall cherished loved ones who no longer sit here, Grateful for memories, and the gift of their lives. It is good to give thanks. For the land that we live in, And its promise of freedom and justice for all. For the visions we share And the strength that You give us To work as Your partners To fix what is broken, To bring healing and hope to those in despair. Tov l?hodot It is good to give thanks. For this holy gathering, For coming together To praise the Creator, Extending our hands And raising our voices in chorus as one. LORD, as we leave, may you bless us with peace, May we bask in the light Of Your grace and Your kindness, And be privileged to reflect your unending goodness In the depth of our hearts, In the work of our hands.

The messengers he sends return with the report that Esau is coming to meet Jacob with 400 men. Understanding that there is a likelihood of battle, Jacob divides his family and flocks into two camps, hoping that one will survive if the other is attacked. Jacob sends his brother a lavish gift of animals. That night, a mysterious "man" wrestles with Jacob, and Jacob, wounded in his thigh, is then blessed with the new name "Israel". Jacob and Esau meet without incident and then go their separate ways. Jacob arrives at Shechem, where the local prince, Shechem son of Hamor, rapes Jacob's daughter Dinah. Dinah's brothers take revenge, killing all the men of Shechem, taking the women and children captive, and seizing all their property. God tells Jacob to go to Bethel and build an altar. There, God appears to Jacob, confirms his new name, and once again reaffirms the covenant. Rachel dies in childbirth and is buried on the road to Ephrat. Reuben lies with Bilhah, his father's concubine. Jacob finally returns to his father's house. Isaac dies at the age of 180 and is buried by Esau and Jacob and the sedra concludes with the genealogy of Esau's descendents. The Torah reading is found in Chumash Etz Hayim on page 198.

The parashah begins when Joseph is 17 and his father's favorite; his father has given him the famous "coat of many colors." Because of his favored status and because Joseph is a tattletale, his brothers hate and envy him. Joseph's reports of his dreams, in which his brothers bow down to him, only make matters worse. When Jacob sends Joseph to find out how his brothers and the family's flocks are getting along, the brothers resolve to kill him. Reuven, the eldest, convinces them not to commit murder, so they decide to sell Joseph into slavery. They dip his special tunic in goat's blood and bring it to Jacob as evidence of his favorite son's fate. Meanwhile, Joseph is brought to Egypt, where he becomes a slave in the household of Pharaoh's courtier Potiphar. The narrative is interrupted by the story of Judah and Tamar and the birth of their sons. The story returns to Joseph, who is successful in Potiphar's house, earning his master's trust. Yet when Potiphar's wife fails in her attempt to seduce Joseph and accuses him of trying to rape her, Potiphar sends the young man to prison. Even in prison, Joseph is successful and he earns the trust of the chief jailer. In time, Pharaoh's valet and baker are imprisoned. Each has a disturbing dream that Joseph interprets, telling the valet that he will be restored to his position and telling the baker that he will be executed. Events unfold as Joseph has foreseen; still, the chief valet forgets his promise to bring Joseph's case before Pharaoh. The Torah reading begins on page 226 in Chumah Etz Hayim.

He is disturbed by his dreams, but none of his magicians can interpret them. Pharaoh's valet now remembers Joseph and his ability to interpret dreams. Pharaoh sends for Joseph, who tells him that his dreams are God's way of informing Pharaoh about seven years of abundance, to be followed by seven years of famine. Joseph then advises Pharaoh to appoint someone to oversee the collection and storage of surplus food in the prosperous years so that it will be available for the years of scarcity. Pharaoh sees the wisdom of the plan and appoints Joseph to the position, giving him many honors and a wife who bears him two sons. After the seven years of plenty have passed, the famine begins in Egypt and surrounding lands. Jacob sends 10 of his sons - all but Benjamin - to Egypt to buy food. When the brothers come before the viceroy of Egypt - Joseph - he recognizes them but they do not recognize him. Joseph accuses them of being spies and when they protest, Joseph agrees to hold Shimon hostage until they return with Benjamin to prove their innocence. When the brothers tell Jacob what has happened, he refuses to let Benjamin go to Egypt. However, the famine continues and Jacob reluctantly allows Benjamin to accompany his brothers to Egypt to buy food. Joseph has the brothers brought to his house, where he serves them a feast. However, Joseph tells his steward to hide his silver goblet in Benjamin's sack. After the brothers depart for home, Joseph sends his men after them to apprehend the "thief." Joseph tells the brothers he will keep the one who stole the goblet as his slave and the others are free to return home. The Torah reading can be found on page 250 in Chumash Etz Hayim.

Later, Joseph brings his sons to visit his ailing father. Jacob tells Joseph that Ephraim and Manasseh will be considered equal to Jacob?s sons, giving them equal portions of inheritance to Jacob?s own sons. Jacob blesses his son and grandsons. Jacob then gathers all of his sons and speaks to each individually about his character and his future, ?addressing to each a parting word appropriate to him.? Jacob then dies at the age of 147. Joseph has his father?s body prepared according to the Egyptian custom and then Jacob?s family, accompanied by Egyptian dignitaries, travels to Canaan to bury him with his parents and grandparents. Joseph?s brothers, fearing what Joseph may do now that their father is dead, tell Joseph it was Jacob?s dying wish that Joseph forgive his brothers. Joseph assures them that he bears no grudge because even though they acted out of spite, God turned their actions to good. Joseph dies at the age of 110, after asking his family to swear that they will return his bones to Canaan when God will bring the Israelites back to the land He has promised.

Sunday, February 3 at 1:00 p.m. There will be a roundtable discussion with participation from local clergy. This event is open to the public. The author will be available afterwards for book signing. National Book Award?winner James Carroll confronts the long and dark history of antisemitism in the Church in Constantine?s Sword: The Church and the Jews (Houghton Mifflin; 2001). From the birth of Jesus to Constantine?s vision of the Cross, from the Crusades to the Inquisition, from the Jewish ghettos to the Dreyfus Affair, Carroll shows that the infamous silence of Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust was not an aberration in Church history but a culmination of nearly 2,000 years of entrenched anti-Judaism. This is a serious work of historical research, but Carroll also uses his skills as a novelist and memoirist to recount a past that provoked a crisis in his own faith as a Catholic, and may do as much in any Christian who confronts it honestly. The result is a tragic history laid bare and a demand that the Church finally face this shameful past in full. James Carroll was born in Chicago in 1943, and raised in Washington where his father, an Air Force general, served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Carroll attended Georgetown University before entering the seminary to train for the Catholic priesthood. He received BA and MA degrees from St. Paul?s College, the Paulist Fathers? Seminary in Washington, and was ordained to the Catholic priesthood in 1969. Carroll served as Catholic Chaplain at Boston University from 1969 to 1974 and then left the priesthood to become a writer. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________ CBI MENS?

At this point, the Torah transitions from the story of a family to the story of a people. The Egyptian king fears the descendants of Israel ? the Israelites ? and enslaves them, forcing them to perform hard labor. When this fails to curb the growth of the Israelite population, Pharaoh orders the midwives to kill all the newborn boys. The midwives refuse, so Pharaoh issues a general order that every baby boy born to Hebrew parents is to be drowned in the Nile. Against this background, Moses is born. When his mother can no longer hide her baby son, she places him in a basket in the river, hoping he might survive. Moses is discovered by Pharaoh?s daughter who recognizes that he is a Hebrew child but still decides to adopt him as her son and raise him in the royal palace. Once Moses has grown up, he goes out to see the state of his people. He comes upon an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave and kills the Egyptian. Once he discovers that his act is known, he flees to Midian. He marries Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, and becomes a shepherd of his father-in-law?s flocks. One day, while tending the sheep, Moses comes upon a burning bush. God speaks to Moses from the bush and tells him that he is being sent to free the Israelites. Moses objects, insisting that he is neither worthy nor capable of this mission. God counters Moses? arguments, reassures him, and gives him signs to show that he is God?s messenger. Moses sets out for Egypt with his wife and sons. God sends Aaron to meet him and together they assemble the Israelite elders and tell them that God has promised to end their servitude. Moses and Aaron then go to Pharaoh and ask that the Israelites be allowed to go into the wilderness to worship God. Pharaoh not only refuses, but retaliates by increasing the severity of the Israelites? oppression. The people blame Moses and Aaron for their punishment, but God tells Moses, ?You shall soon see what I will do to Pharaoh.? Today?s Torah reading can be found on page 317 of Chumash Etz Hayim.
