Tehillim 135 (Artscroll Siddur pg. 382)

י כל־אלה ינו מ אדנ ול ה" ו י־גד י כ י ידעת י אנ ם-כ

For I know that God is great, and our Lord is more than all powers.

Rav Kook suggests that this verse contains two distinct realizations. The first “God is

great” is an objective and absolute statement. The fact that Hashem is great is unrelated

and transcends creation. This is what Kabbalists refer to as Ein Sof (The Infinite), where

our thoughts are directed only on the Divine. Once we involve ourselves in the mundane

affairs of this worldly existence, we come to a realization about God’s relationship to the

rest of creation. That is “our Lord is more than all powers”, Hashem surpasses all other

forces of nature.

Rav Kook taught that these two realizations support each other: ie God as absolute and

God is relative to the world. The first fosters a sense of Dveikut, a connection with the

Divine. The second fosters an appreciation for Hashgacha, Divine involvement and

mastery over all of existence.

(Based on The Koren Rav Kook Siddur pg. 496)

D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

One of the perplexing questions that emerges from this morning’s Parsha is: In what

way was Korach mistaken? We read how Korach challenges Moshe and Aharon with

the following statement: "You take too much upon yourselves, for the entire

congregation are all holy, and the Lord is in their midst. So why do you raise

yourselves above the Lord's assembly?" Korach’s specific complaint was regarding

Aharon’s elevation as Kohen Gadol, a position of which he was envious. Korach’s

larger complaint was the very notion of Jewish leadership: For if every Jew is holy,

then why are there any positions of leadership within the Jewish community?

In some important ways, Korach is correct. It is fundamental to Jewish thought

that all Jews are holy; we each possess a Divine spark in our souls. If that is the case,

then one can legitimately question the need for leadership within the Jewish People.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe explained that Korach’s challenge is predicated on a

mistaken understanding of the role of a Jewish leader. The primary role of a leader is

help people get more in touch with their Divine spark. In short, the job of a leader is

to inspire people to inspire themselves. It’s true that every individual has the

potential for holiness. But many of those same people cannot get in touch with that

holy potential. Even those who are spiritually sensitive enough to bring holiness into

their lives, still may need help to optimize that experience and maximize that

potential for kedusha. It is the job of leaders to actualize that potential and to bring

out the best in others. And although not all of us can be leaders on the scale of

Moshe or Aharon, each of us has the ability to be a Jewish leader within his/her

realm of impact and sphere of influence. The Lubavitcher Rebbe (who passed away

25 years ago today, the 3rd of Tammuz) was fond of retelling the Chasidic saying “if

you only know aleph (first letter of the Hebrew alphabet) - then teach aleph!” We all

have something to teach others, and we can serve in a leadership role, for some

people in some setting. Whether it is within our family, our neighborhood, our office

or our shul, let us learn from the mistake of Korach and proudly wear the mantle of

leaders. Let us do so by serving as positive peer pressure for others and by

encouraging and validating their efforts at inspiring themselves.

This past week, I convened our annual meeting with Rabbi and Sara Frieberg to

review the previous programming year and begin planning for 5780. As part of these

meetings we focus on both concrete plans as well as questions that are meant to be

thought-provoking (even if we cannot definitively answer them). One of the

questions I posed was: How can we inspire more people; how can we inspire people

more? Our conclusions were that 1) different people are inspired by different things,

2) while big events and gestures can be memorable, long-lasting inspiration comes

from the accumulation of small gestures, interactions and experiences that have a

cumulative inspirational effect, and 3) one of the most important things Rabbis and

community leaders can do is inspire people to take advantage of the opportunities

that exist for inspiration.

Let us learn from Korach’s mistake by both stepping up and being leaders when

we can inspire others, while also doing the hard work of inspiring ourselves.

With anti-Semitic attacks and incidents on the rise, safety continues to be a top

advocacy priority on both the state and federal levels. The Federal House

Appropriations Committee recently approved a $30 million increase to

homeland security grant funding, and we continue to advocate for that increase

through the U.S. Senate. In NY, our coalition partner Teach NYS was able to

secure an additional $20 million in security funding for non-public schools and

day camps at risk of hate crimes.

U.S. Concludes Conference in Bahrain for Palestinian Economy

At the international conference in Bahrain on Tuesday and Wednesday, Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner pushed government officials and businesspeople to embrace the economic portion of the Trump administration’s peace plan, The Wall Street Journal reported. Kushner called the plan the “opportunity of the century” and said the workshop was a “tremendous success.” The plan includes a $50 billion economic program for the Palestinians, including grants, loans and private capital, and is the administration’s first step toward reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Palestinian officials have rejected the plan and boycotted the conference. As a result, the White House did not invite Israeli government representatives, so as to keep the event “apolitical.” About 300 people turned up for the two-day conference, including leaders from Arab and European countries. The Peace to Prosperity summit was the first major public event centered on a discussion of a peace effort. The political portion of the plan is expected to be unveiled no earlier than September.

Our synagogue partners with AIPAC, America’s pro-Israel lobby, in educating our community on issues affecting the U.S.-Israel relationship. We encourage you to learn more by contacting AIPAC at (202) 639-5200 or by visiting www.aipac.org.
