Pesach - Cutting corners

 

One year, R' Velvel Brisker (1887-1959) and his brother, R' Moshe, went to Warsaw to bake Matzos for their father R' Chaim.  Unfortunately, on the journey home, every single Matza broke. When Erev Pesach came, R' Chaim instructed his sons to try and piece together each Matza, so that at least there would be an appearance of having whole Matzos.  Painstakingly, the brothers went to work.  They were joined in this laborious work by a third person, who, much to their surprise, pieced together seven Matzos for every three of theirs.

 

“How was that possible?”  they asked him in wonderment.

 

The man explained that rather than looking for perfect matches, he simply broke off corners wherever necessary and put the remaining pieces together!

R' Velvel turned to his brother and commented:

 

“This is also true in answering Halachic questions. There are two ways - the right way, which is to carefully and meticulously put together all of the necessary pieces, and the wrong way, which is to twist and turn things and to cut corners until everything appears to fit!!

 

Have a kosher Pesach!!

 

Shabbat Shalom,

 

Rabbi Moshe Cohen

COMMUNITY OFFICE HOURS

Tamar’s office hours are 4-6 pm Mon-Thurs.  You can reach her at (310) 278-8672 x 305 or via email, tamar@aishla.com, during these hours. 

 

TALLESIM

If you notice any tallesim which are torn or damaged in any way, please leave them on top of the bookcase where the tallesim are kept so that we can repair them. 

 

SECURITY ALERT

In an effort to “harden the target,” we have installed a combination lock on the shul’s front door and thousands of dollars of surveillance equipment, cameras, and security guards.  Every member of shul should know the combination (it is written in simple Hebrew next to the lock!) and the door should be kept closed at all times.

 

ON GUARD

We all feel very happy and safe on Shabbos thanks to Matcal, our Israeli security patrol, which also advises us on security matters.  However, we are down to our last $200 for Security, which won’t last us more than a few weeks.  We ask that you please contribute toward this fund so that we can continue this very valuable service uninterrupted through Pesach and the summer months.  Contact Tamar or drop off a check at the Aish office marked “Shabbos Security.”

 

EARLY SHABBOS MINYAN

The early Shabbos Shacharis minyan continues this Shabbos at 8:00 am in the Sem Room.  Participants will be learning b’chevrusah from 10-11 am.  For details, contact R Quinn.

MAOS CHITTIM -- FEED THE POOR OF JERUSALEM FOR PESACH

Maos chittim donations are being collected for Keren Yehoshua v’Yisrael run by Rabbi Shlomo Kaplan. He only supports families that are in dire straits. 100% of the monies raised go directly to screened families in Jerusalem in the form of food coupons.  There is no overhead.  Here is an idea of how far your donation goes: $180 covers all Passover food needs for a small family, $360 covers a medium family, and $540 covers a large family.  There are self-addressed envelopes in the back of the shul on the bookcase. You can also learn more and pay at their website: kerenyehoshuavyisroel.com.
