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.

Ki Tisa
By:Rabbi Eliezer Zwickler

This week's Parsha contains some very emotional interaction that is appropriate when dealing with tragedy such as the one that has befallen our community this week. Moshe obtains forgiveness on behalf of the Jewish people. He takes the liberty to ask Hashem at this incredibly intimate moment to see him.  Hashem responds that man cannot see Him and live. In the end Hashem acquiesced and showed Moshe the back knot of His Tfillin. Our Rabbis teach us that Hashem was telling Moshe that the human mind cannot fathom or understand the ways of Hashem. 

We are servants that follow and praise even though at times we may not like the results. We all ask Hashem for strength in talking to our children when terrible things happen. May Hashem give strength most of all to the family, and may they not know of any more pain and sorrow.
 
-It is an honor for us to welcome Rabbi Michael Rosensweig, who is spending Shabbos with us in honor of the Chag Hasemicha.
-Special Mazel Tov to all our local Musmachim. Our community is so proud of your accomplishments.
-I will be addressing the entire congregation for 10 minutes, in the main shul immediately after davening.
