I do not like this Uncle Sam,

I do not like his health care scam.

  

I do not like these dirty crooks,

or how they lie and cook the books.

 

I do not like when Congress steals,

I do not like their secret deals.

 

I do not like this spending spree,

I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.

 

I do not like this kind of HOPE,

I do not like it, nope, nope, nope!

 

I cannot say this often enough,

JANUARY 2013 CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!

Parshas Re'eh

By: Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky

In this week's portion, the Torah tells us to decimate any remnant of idolatry: "You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations that you are driving away worshiped their gods - on the high mountains and on the hills, and under every leafy tree. You shall break apart their altars, you shall smash their pillars, and their sacred trees shall you burn in the fire. Their carved images shall you cut down, and you shall obliterate their names from that place." (Deuteronomy 12:2-3)

But then, the Torah adds a verse that seems to be so unnecessary, if not wounding. The Torah tells us "You shall not do the same to Hashem, your G-d"(ibid. v.4)

We thank the 

Jewish Community Relations Council Of Long Island

For providing the following information:

Shalom,

In an effort to keep the Jewish community informed of the upcoming hurricane we are pleased to provide the following information and resources for you and your communities. 

Please feel free to disseminate this email widely. 

·         Yesterday, JCRC out our first report on Hurricane Irene's impact on our area. It includes links to the regional OEM sites and other information. See it here. We also included a link to information from the Orthodox Union re halachic considerations.

·         Forecast. See the NWS page here and the Accuweather forecast here. Currently, they discuss the possibility of tropical force storms on Sunday.

·         Evacuation. No agencies have called for an evacuation, but the possibility is on the table for some areas Find your evacuation zone by following these links: Nassau (including evacuation routes), Suffolk. If you are interested click NYC and Westchester.

• Effects.  Given the current storm track, Southern Manhattan, Southern Brooklyn, the Rockaways and the South Shore are at the greatest risk of storm surge. Flooding, downed trees and power lines can happen anywhere.

·         Communications. It is likely that directives/warning/instructions will be aired by the media on Shabbat, when many Shabbat observant Jews do not tune in.  Leaders in the high risk communities should discuss how their communities can stay safe. It is imperative to discuss the problem with competent rabbinical authorities now, so that we can communicate heterim, if any, before Shabbat.

o    JCRC requested that the Nassau County PDand the Long Beach PD plan to use their loudspeakers should it become necessary to communicate evacuation information on Shabbat.

• Agencies/Synagogues: Obviously, organizations should review their emergency plans and be prepared to implement them. For example, we've spoken with one agency that plans to deliver "double meals" tomorrow because it might be impossible to make deliveries on Sunday or Monday.

• After effects:Flooding and downed trees are a given, making driving difficult. Such conditions usually lead to localized power outages (see JCRC's suggestions here) and phone outages.  Community leaders should attempt to identify people who might be "at risk" and plan to check in on them.

The Avraham Yonah Reading Group

There are many people in our community who are home bound or for various reasons cannot get out often and seldom have visitors. The Avraham Yonah Reading Group is a volunteer group consisting mostly of women, who go to these peoples homes and read to them. It gives these individuals an opportunity to make friends, have consistent visitors and know that others care about them. 

The organization is intended to help people who are home bound, elderly, ill and in treatment or anyone else who may benefit from this service. Volunteers will visit the individuals home for approximately 1/2 - 1 hour, and will either read a book, learn Torah, play a game or just talk with the person depending on their preference. There will be a different volunteer going each day of the week, depending on how many days are requested by the person in need. It is hoped that each volunteer will continue to visit on the same day of every week. 

If you know of anyone who could benefit from this service, please contact us. 

We hope you will be interested in volunteering to be a part of this wonderful chessed and join us in reaching out to our friends and neighbors who are in need and hopefully making a difference in their lives.
