 MESSAGES
Rabbi’s Message
Why Wait Until It’s Too Late?
When I was seven
years old, sitting at
my family’s Pesach
table, after all my
siblings recited
the ma nishtana, I
noticed a pause at
the table. All eyes
were focused on my
father. He seemed
to be whispering
some words. I moved closer to understand. The
words were familiar to me. My father was saying,
“Tatte, ich vil by der fraigen de fir kashes. Father,
I want to ask you the four questions.” I was con-
fused, for I knew that my Zaida, who I never met,
died when my father was fifteen. It was then that I
realized something that had never occurred to me
before. My father is also a child and he was calling
out to his father, yearning for a relationship. I recall
the sadness I felt for him, not having the opportunity
to have a father-son relationship.
Today, as a rabbi in our community, I cannot help
but watch a similar scene repeating itself. Fathers
and mothers pass away and their children only then
begin a journey to connect with their parents, by
softly reciting the kaddish with an inner yearning and
desire to reach out to their soul. Why do we wait until
it’s too late?
On Shabbat at our synagogue too many fathers and
mothers come to shul alone. I’ll never forget, when
years ago I approached one of these fathers and
asked, “Why don’t you invite your children to join you,
perhaps once a month in shul?” Imagine praying
together, talking to each other about the important
matters of life, ritualizing the father-son relationship.
He replied, “My children work too hard, they are too
busy, and they wouldn’t want to come to shul.” Years
later, he passed away and the children then began
coming every day to recite the kaddish. If only the
father could now see his son standing at the bimah,
leading the service, honouring the man he so loved.
Why do we wait until it’s too late?
1
Too often I witness parents passing on and the chil-
dren are left with words unsaid, regrets that are irrep-
arable, and a relationship that can be no more, all
because they fell prey to the mechanics of life. The
connection with their mother or father never matured
to the deep, rich, honest, soul-sharing relationship it
was meant to be.
More than any other religion Judaism has the mish-
pacha at its core. The great mystics go as far as to
say that the purpose of our life’s mission is our family,
because they have the most to offer and we, in turn,
have something very significant to contribute.
The holiday of Pesach centers on this very issue, for
it commands the parents, “Ve hegadeta le vincha
speak to your children” and it calls out to all children,
to seek a higher relationship with their parents by
saying, “Father, I have questions I need to ask you.”
In the Jewish tradition there is a custom that when
you depart from a sacred place or person, you don’t
turn your back on it. When walking away from the
holy Western Wall, we walk away backwards as a
sign of our awe, love and respect. The same would
be true when walking away from a monarch or a
great tzaddik. Reb Shlomo Carlebach, z”l, once
blessed a father in this spirit. He said, “When your
children grow up and walk out of your house and
build their own houses, I bless you that your children
should walk away backwards and never turn their
back on you.”
When we open the door on the Seder night to wel-
come Eliyahu, let us welcome his vision and hope for
the future “Behold! I send you Eliyahu, the prophet...
He shall restore the heart of the fathers to the chil-
dren and the heart of the children to their fathers.”
Let us not disregard the pertinent fact that time waits
for no man, and adhere to the wisdom of Hillel. “ve’im
lo akshav emotai - and if not now, when.”
It is time for all of us to turn to our fathers and say,
“Tatte, Father, there are questions that I need to ask
you.”
Wishing all our families a kosher and happy Pesach,
Rabbi Asher Jacobson

Gabbayim’s Message RISE for JESSE

The Festival of Passover is one that holds many
metaphors for us. We are reminded of the burdens
we bore and how we were relieved of them, find-
ing ourselves free from oppression. As we show
gratitude for the miracles of these historic times, it
is an opportunity to take inventory of the burdens
we carry today in our lives. Some may be thrust
upon us, while others are self inflicted. We have
no control over what comes into our lives; only the
commitment to rise above them and learn. It is the
burdens we carry, the ones we take on both con-
sciously and unconsciously that keep us from the
deeper connection with ourselves, and with those
with whom choose to be in relationship.
During this festive period, take the time to search
your heart and soul; to realize what you need to hold
onto and what you need to let go of. Freed from the
shackles of your burdens, there lies the doorway to
freedom of heart, mind and soul.
As always, we are here to support you, and ask
you to do the same by assisting the congregation
through attendance at Schul.
All of us wish you and your loved ones a happy and
Kosher Pesach.

It is more than 5 months since Montreal, stu-
dent Jesse Galganov disappeared in Peru. His
parents Alisa Clamen and Todd Galganov have
spent millions of dollars searching the Peruvian
Andes for their son.
In continued efforts to support the Galganov
family, on January 18 there was a North Amer-
ican wide Challah bake. The Chevra hosted the
Montreal event.
Women in thousands of cites prayed and
braided Challahsh in an effort to bring home
Jesse.
Special thanks to Kathy Lempert-Stein, Lieba
Jacobson & Sigy Laredo who organized the
Montreal RISE for JESSE Challah Bake.
Also, thank you to all of the loyal bakers who
participated in the event.
All of the proceeds went to the Missing Chil-
dren's Network 's Jesse Galganov Fund.

Counting the Days of “Omer“ & “Lag B’Omer”
Beginning with the second night of Passover, and continuing
for forty-nine nights, we count the Omer in accordance with the
Biblical injunction: “From the morrow of Pesach, from the days
of your bringing the Omer, you shall count seven full weeks”.
The Omer was a special offering of barley gathered from the
newly-ripened grain which then permitted the use of the spring
harvest. In Temple-times, the harvesting of the Omer on the
second night of Pesach, was an occasion for great celebration
in the streets of Jerusalem.
The counting of the Omer must take place after nightfall,
immediately before starting the daily and weekly number in
the Omer, we recite the benediction of ‘Al Sephirat Ha-Omer’.
These forty-nine days link the festival of Passover, the cele-
bration of our physical redemption with the festival of Shavuot,
which occurs on the 50th day, when we celebrate our spiritual
redemption, the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.
In the second century of the common era, Eretz Israel was
visited by plague. Thousands of the disciples of Rabbi Akiva
perished between Pesach and Shavuot. In their memory, this
period is observed with partial mourning. During the weeks of
the Omer therefore, we do not make weddings nor engage in
unusual festivity, nor do we cut our hair. Since the plague is
said to have stopped on the thirty-third day of the Omer (Lag
B’Omer), these restrictions are suspended for that day. School
children suspend their studies and have a day of field games.
This year Lag B’Omer occurs on Sunday, May 14, 2017.

Preparing for the Seder
ARBA’A KOSOT: Four cups of wine, representing the
four expressions of freedom and redemption mentioned
in the Bible (Exodus 6:6,7) If wine cannot be tolerated,
use grape juice.
MATZAH SHMURAH: Matzah prepared from grain which
was specially watched since reaping so that it should
leaven by becoming moist. It is best to have this special
matzah for the Seder.
THREE WHOLE MATZAHS: are placed on the Seder
Plate, representing the Kohen, Levi and Yisrael.
MAROR: The bitter herb which recalls how the Egyptians
embittered the lives of our ancestors. Use romaine lettuce
for Maror, or horse radish root. Wash lettuce very thor-
oughly to remove any possible bugs - inspect carefully.
CHAZERS: The root part of the bitter herb, in original
form. Not all Seder Plates contain this item.
CHAROSET: A mixture of chopped nuts, apples, Kosher
L’Pesach cinnamon and wine, representing the mortar
mixed for the slave labour in Egypt and into which we dip
the Maror.
KARPAS: A vegetable, symbol of springtime and of our
freedom. Possible vegetables include celery, potato or
onion dipped in salt water, recalling the years of oppres-
sion of the Israelites.
AFIKOMEN: The piece of Matzoh broken off from the
mid- dle Matzoh and hidden away to be eaten at the very
end of the meal. It represents the Paschal lamb roasted
in the days of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and eaten
last so that its savour lingers in our palates.
Z’ROA: A roasted meat or chicken bone, representing the
Paschal lamb (Korban Pesach) and reminding us of the
Almighty’s ‘outstretched arm’ (Z’roa means arm).

What is Shavuot
Shavuot marks the anniversary of the day when we
received the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is the second
of the three major festivals (Passover being the
first, and Sukkot the third), occurring exactly fifty
days after the second day of Passover. This is a
biblical holiday complete with special prayers, holi-
day candle lighting and kiddush. During the course
of the holiday we don’t go to work, drive, write or
switch on or off electric devices. We are permitted
to cook and to carry outdoors.
The word “Shavuot” means “weeks”; it marks the
of Torah and fulfillment of mitzvot we connect our-
selves and our environment to G-d. G- d’s purpose
in creating the world is that we sanctify all of cre-
ation, imbuing it with holiness and spirituality. On
the holiday of Shavuot, the entire Jewish nation
heard from G-d the Ten Commandments. The next
day Moses went up to Mount Sinai where he was
taught by G-d the rest of the Torah -- both the Writ-
ten and Oral Laws -- which he then transmitted to
the entire nation.

The Torah is composed of two parts: the Written
Law and the Oral Law. The written Torah contains
the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets and the
Writings. Together with the Written Torah, Moses
was also given the Oral Law, which explains and
clarifies the Written Law. It was transmitted orally
from generation to generation and eventually tran-
scribed in the Mishna, Talmud and Midrash.

Rabbi Jacobson
LECTURE SERIES
This past November over 100 participants
attended Rabbi Jacobson’s lecture series
which covered 4000 years of Jewish his-
tory in 4 hours”.

Rabbi Jacobson focused on patterns that

have reoccurred throughout Jewish history.
He stressed that as Jews we need to know
and understand our roots. According to
Rabbi Jacobson “this is having a personal
history”.

The Rabbi’s inspirational and meaning-

ful series enlightened all those all who
attended. Stay tuned for details on Rabbi
Jacobson's next lecture series.

Muslim/Zionist Speaker
On October 22, 2017 The Chevra hosted
an event featuring the courageous Yahya
Mahamid. Yahya is a young Israeli Arab
who became a Muslim Zionist.

He arrived with the team from StandWithUs

Canada, an organization that educates and
empowers supporters of Israel. They focus
on university campuses and high schools,
inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Yahya shared his touching personal story,

while shedding some light on how a young
Israeli Arab, from the hostile city of Umm-
al-Fahm ,came to realize that many of the
stories he grew up with were inaccurate
or lies. By speaking up, Yahya put himself
and his family at risk. Finally, in order to
ensure his safety, Yahya had to leave his
family and move away.

Yahya currently works at the StandWithUs

office in Jerusalem. He continues to be an
inspiring and brave young voice promoting
coexistence, peace, and hope.

The event was sold out and several stu-

dents were in attendance. The audience
was touched by Yahya’s stories and daring
journey.

The Queen of Chesed

Queen of Chesed is an original dramatic comedy

written by Claudia and Pearl and directed by Ellen
David (who is also played the role of Faigie). It was
presented at the Outremont theatre on November
15th and 16th, 2017. Both nights were sold out!
The main star, Faigie Jacobson, who is the wife
of a Rabbi and mother of 9 children is a dynamic,
religious woman. She opened her Crown Heights,
Brooklyn home to the needy, homeless, hungry
and lonely people to come for a meal and often
stay indefinitely. Faigie is the “real life” mother of
Rabbi Asher Jacobson. The play had fictitious and
true to life occurrences and made for some inter-
esting dramatic and comedic interactions not only
between the Jacobson family and their “guests”, but
also between the “guests” themselves!
Congratulations to the writers, producers, lead
actress and director for their exceptional and enter-
taining performances.
