Shabbat Parshat Matot July 23rd, 2011 21 Tamuz 5771

The Rabbis Corner We find ourselves, once again, in the period of beyn hameitzarim which is the period of the three weeks between the 17th of Tammuz and Tisha BAv. The words beyn hameitzarim literally mean between the straights and are taken from a verse in Megillat Eicha which we will read on Tisha Bav which says kol rodfeha hisiguha beyn hamtezarim all her enemies (of Jerusalem/Jewish people) overtook her in the narrow straights (1:3). As the name connotes, this is a period of sadness and mourning during which indeed many of our enemies did pursue, overtake, and harm us over the ages. Historically, this period commemorates the sequence of events that began with the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem and concluded with the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. Unfortunately it remained, for so many generations, a period of calamity for the Jewish people and this is reflected in our behaviors during this period which I would like to outline in just a moment. Before doing so, I must say that as much as this is a period of destruction it is also a period of hope and consolation. As much as it is tragic, we also believe that this is the time period in which the messiah will be born: The time period that will lead to our redemption. It is a period in which we pray and fast and try to improve ourselves with the understanding that at some point things will change and our lot will improve. We have seen the slow process of that improvement unfold in our own times and we hope it shall continue. It is always important to review some of the laws of this period of time from year to year. There are three distinct periods of mourning which parallel the three stages experienced by an individual mourner, but in reverse order: Three Weeks (Yud Bet Chodesh, Year-long mourning for parents), Nine Days (Shloshim, 30 Days) and Tisha BAv (Shiva). During the initial period of the three weeks

BASEMENT RENOVATION We are excited to announce that we are beginning the first phase of a renovation of our basement. The fundraising effort for this part of the project was jumpstarted when each of our board members decided to contribute Yasher Koach on your leadership! This was followed by a number of very generous gifts from other families in our shul which are making this part of the project possible. Thanks to their generosity we will be able to refurbish the ceiling which is in bad shape with a cleaner more modern set of grids and ceiling tiles. In addition, the shul received an energy grant to replace all of our lights (starting with downstairs) with energy efficient fixtures. This will save us money every month on our electric bill, will help the environment, and most of all, it will help to better illuminate our poorly lit basement. These lights will be housed in our newly renovated ceiling. This work will take place over this coming week. (Daily services will be held upstairs this week) This improvement will help give a whole new look to the place in which we daven daily and gather in weekly for Kiddush. Thanks to all.

Their mission is to provide social opportunity for young observant Jewish professionals (aged 22-35) in the Greater Boston community. Most of their programs also have a religious, educational, or social action aspect to them. In addition to enjoying each other's company, they get to see an Orthodox community that many had not been exposed to previously. The itinerary is as follows: Friday night davening at YIWH, with meals provided by YIWH host families, Saturday davening at Beth David, with lunch held at Beth David, seudah shlishit sponsored by B-JOTT at YIWH.

Rabbi David Silverberg - www.vbm-torah.org In Parashat Matot, the Torah makes its first explicit reference to Bilam's culpability for the incident of Ba'al Pe'or. As God had commanded, Benei Yisrael wage a vengeful war against Midyan in retaliation for its having plotted against them by seducing them to the idolatrous worship of Pe'or. As the soldiers returned home, Moshe noticed that they brought with them the women who had participated in the Pe'or debacle. He angrily responds, "They are the very ones who, at the bidding of Bilam, induced Benei Yisrael to trespass against God in the matter of Pe'or " (31:16). Here Moshe clearly attributes the wicked plot to Bilam himself. In truth, a clear reference to this effect, albeit more subtle, appears earlier, in the Torah's brief description of the battle against Midyan, where we are told that Benei Yisrael made a point of assassinating Bilam (31:8). The question, of course, arises, why did the Torah not inform us immediately, when initially presenting the incident of Ba'al Pe'or, of Bilam's having instigated it? Why do we hear of his involvement only later, in Parashat Matot? Perhaps even more troubling is the Torah's formulation of the sin of Ba'al Pe'or in Parashat Balak: "Yisrael was staying in Shittim, and the people began committing harlotry with the Moavite women " (25:1). Whereas in Parashat Matot Moshe explicitly casts the blame squarely on Bilam, the Torah's narrative seems to accuse Benei Yisrael themselves of initiating the prohibited relations! Professor Nechama Leibowitz z"l offers an insightful answer with a critical lesson. Bilam's having masterminded and orchestrated the incident in no way absolved Benei Yisrael of their own guilt. The Torah specifically describes Benei Yisrael as "beginning" - meaning, initiating - the encounter, in order to emphasize their guilt in spite of the plot devised against them. True, Bilam thought of the idea and set it into motion, a crime for which he paid with his life in our parasha. However, the seductive tactics employed by the women of Moav and Midyan does not excuse Benei Yisrael's consent to temptation and idolatry that ensued. Therefore, in its initial account, the Torah portrays Benei Yisrael as the instigators, rather than Bilam, Moav or Midyan. How convenient it is to find a guilty party on whom to blame all of one's own shortcomings! A person can ever so easily clear his conscience by attributing his wrongdoing to others, by pointing a finger somewhere other than at his own faults. Forensic psychologists can identify any number of factors that contributed to the making of a criminal, but this dare not lead us - at least in most instances - to excuse crime. Life presents us with many challenges, including moral, ethical and religious tests. And we are expected to pass each and every one. When we don't, we must blame first and foremost ourselves, no matter what external circumstances may have contributed to the failure.
Rabbis Corner Continued from page 1 from 17th of Tammuz until Rosh Chodesh Av there are four main restrictions for ASHKENAZIM (Sefardim have a different set of rules and dates see me for more details): Taking haircuts, festive gatherings and parties, listening to music, and wearing new clothing. I would like to elaborate a bit on the issue of haircuts. This restriction applies to both men and women. For men, however, there is an additional aspect to the restriction which is daily shaving of the face (women are allowed to shave or wax until the week of Tisha BAv if need be). Many men refrain from shaving during this period in keeping with the basic understanding of the restriction as stated in Shulchan Aruch. However, there are varying customs regarding that and each one has a basis in halacha. Rabbi Soloveitchik advanced the ideas that since this period of national mourning parallels the period of year long mourning for parents many of the same halchot apply. Just like a man in the year long mourning for a parent can shave (after shloshim) when he is deemed to be unkempt by those around him (i.e. when social norms deem ones appearance to be unacceptable) the same applies during this time. Since usually after a day or so a man who shaves daily would look unkempt that would permit him to shave daily during this time period. Others choose not to shave daily but to shave on Erev Shabbat during this time. The reason for this is that since the restriction of shaving is only a custom whereas preparing for and honoring Shabbat is a mitzvah, the mitzvah would override the custom of not shaving. Next week will discuss more about the 9 days and then the following week we will discuss Tisha BAv itself.
