Congregation AABJ&D



 
 
One of the friendliest, most vibrant, full-service, Ashkanazi and Sephardi Modern Orthodox synagogue in the tri-state area in  a dynamic community that's large enough to offer top schools, kosher restaurants and all types of services, but small enough to allow a warmth and sense of closeness among its members, young and old.

Yitro
By:Rabbi Eliezer Zwickler

 Rashi asks what Yisro heard that made him come to the Jewish people? He responds that Yisro heard about the splitting of the Sea and the victory over Amalek.  An obvious question can be asked.  Was the miracle on the Yam Suf not enough to attract Yisro? Why did Rashi find it necessary to mention the battle over Amalek as well? Rav Aryeh Levine, zt"l, the Tzaddick of Yerushalayim, explains that Yisro thought that the miracle at the sea was a miracle that was supernatural.  However, miracles come and go and one could not learn about the future success of a nation based on a one time occurrence no matter how mind boggling that miracle was.  Once Yisro saw the miracle of the victory over Amalek, he understood that miracles were also performed for Am Yisrael in a physical sense within the reality of the day to day world and that the Jewish nation was indeed something special.


-This Shabbos is dedicated to accommodating those in our community who have disabilities. It is a time for us to thank Hashem for allowing them to live among us and flourish as welcome members of our community as well as a time for all to appreciate the small physical miracles that we see in our lives each and every day.  May Hashem continue to safeguard and strengthen all members of our community.
 
-A special Mazel Tov to Rabbi & Jessica Klein on the birth of their son. We look forward to sharing in the simcha. Tizku Lgadlo LTorah, Lchupah Ulmaasim Tovim.
 
-This past Monday, I met with Rabbi Steven Weil, Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union at the OU offices in Manhattan.  It was a pleasure to tell Rabbi Weil about our wonderful shul and community.  Rabbi Weil expressed that the OU is reaching out to its member shuls in order to be of service and solidify its relationships.  We anticipate hearing about new OU related initiatives in the near future.
 
-On Tuesday I met with Reuben Rotman, Executive Director of the Jewish Family Service of Metrowest.  Reuben expressed how important it is to him and his agency that the members of our shul feel comfortable reaching out to JFS for help when challenged in a number of different areas.  We hope to build upon the relationship we have with JFS and use it as a resource to help our members.  Stay tuned for more details.
 
- Special welcome to all of the participants in the NCSY regional.
