RABBI’S CORNER

Dear YIEB Families,

The Medrash ( Vayikra Rabbah 34,3) tells the story of

when the great Torah Scholar Hillel was leaving, his

disciples said to him: "Master, where are you going?"

He replied: "to do a pious deed." They asked further,

"what may that be?" He replied: "to take a bath."

They asked, "is that a pious deed?" He replied, "yes. If

in the theaters and circuses, the images of the king

must be kept clean by the man to whom they have

been entrusted, how much more is it a duty of man to

care for the body, since man has been created in the

Divine Image and Likeness."

G-d endowed each of us with a body and the Torah

instructs us to properly care for it. And so, I’d like to

highlight for you an upcoming program:

YIEB’s Healthy Living Lecture Series:

Part one will take place this Motzei Shabbat,

November 7th, 8:00-9:15 PM and is titled: From

Kishke to Kale: An Exploration of Healthy Jewish

Eating and Creating the Shabbos Toolbox. Part two

will take place on Tuesday, November 17th, 7:00-

8:00 PM and is title Healthy Chinuch: Tips on Building

a Wellness Legacy for your Children and

Grandchildren.

The featured speaker will be Marla Rottensreich and

I’d like to encourage each of you to attend. Please

see the flyer for more details and please RSVP before

Shabbat! Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom.

Rabbi Jay Weinstein

A NOTE FROM RABBI WEINSTEIN ABOUT AIPAC

Dear YIEB Families,

I hope you will consider joining me at AIPAC's Policy

Conference on March 20-22, 2016 in Washington,

conference in the Jewish world. Join over 16,000

and security of Israel. The Conference includes

exhibitions of groundbreaking Israeli innovations

saving American lives; keynote speeches by top

leaders from both the United States and Israel;

emotional and inspiring moments on stage; and

smaller and more intimate educational breakout

sessions. The Conference culminates in the

opportunity for us to lobby our member of Congress

on the pro-Israel agenda on Tuesday.

The early bird registration price of $499 ($399 for

Club members) ends on November 13. After

November 13 the cost of the Conference will be $599

($499 for Club members). Please take advantage of

the early bird discount and register today. Conference

registration is fully refundable until January 8. To

register please visit www.policyconference.org.

Please do not miss out on this discounted opportunity.

I look forward to traveling with you to Washington for

this crucial event! Thank you.

The family of our dear friend and Highland Park

resident Howard Beyer, Z"L has created The Howard L.

Beyer Memorial Fund at ELEM/Youth and Distress in

Israel, connecting Howard's dedication to issues of

troubled youth and his abiding commitment to Israel.

ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel is the country’s

leading nonprofit organization serving 20,000

troubled young people and an additional 100,000

youth who use ELEM online annually. These teens

face tremendous challenges including domestic

violence, drug and alcohol addiction, neglect, bullying,

homelessness and prostitution, in addition to the

stressors of living in Israel. ELEM's programs, located

in 40 cities, provide a safe space for Israeli youth and

help them to recover, reinvigorate, and reimagine a

positive future for themselves, their family and their

country. All gifts in Howard's memory will be

acknowledged both by ELEM and the Beyer family.
