FRISA RULES

By Joel Moskowitz

 Ever hear of Dan Frisa? I didn't think so. Only political junkies like me would remember who Dan Frisa is. For those of you who don't know and I'm guessing that's quite a lot of you, Dan Frisa was once a member of the House of Representatives from the fourth district of New York. If you are reading this there's a good chance you live in the fourth congressional district. If you're like most people, you'll have to think hard who your current Congressperson is. For the record, her name is Carolyn McCarthy a democrat, who soundly beat Dan Frisa a republican and in the process showed everyone how democracy works at its best or in today's environment, how to affect change without sleeping in a tent.  

Dan Frisa is a footnote, an asterisk, an unimpressive hack with an undistinguished political career that probably could have held his cushy seat in congress for 20 years if he wasn't so obstinate, so ideologically pure and so beholden to moneyed interests. With reelection rates for incumbent members of congress at over 80% since 1964 it takes a really special buffoon to anger his constituents enough to lose.  

On December 7, 1993 a whacko named Colin Ferguson shot up a car on a Hicksville bound Long Island Rail Road train during rush hour.

GHETTO PARSHAH

PARSHAT LECH LECHA

By: CR Sol

 

This week's parsha starts off with a very deep message in its opening line,

 

    "וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-אַבְרָם, לֶךְ-לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ, אֶל-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ"

          Va'yomer Hashem El Avraham

                 Lech Lecha Mei'arsecha U'MiMoladitecha U'miBeit Avicha,

                                                       El Ha'Aretz Asher Erecha

 

And Hashem said to Avraham, "Go for yourself, from your land, from your birthplace

         and from your fathers house, to the land that I will show you.

 

Cryptic? Perhaps. Meaningful? Indeed!

Hashem is telling a random man named, Avrahm, who we have no clue of anything about, and how Hashem chose to speak to him and tell him to go to another land, ditch everything he has for his own benefit?

What the flip-flop?

All we know about Avraham from the end of last weeks parsha, Noach, that Noach had children who had children who had children and children... and generations later came a man named Terach who had 3 sons, Avraham, Nachor and Haran.

The generations following Noach are described in order, yet when the Torah reaches the names of Terach's children, the text goes into details. This implies something special about this familia.

What it do?

Well, it goes from saying "A begot B, and B begot C.. etc" to "T begot 3 boys, one died and the other two got married and Avraham's wife Sara had no kids"

Obviously there is a lil somethin somethin special about this chap Avraham.

 

Let's try to understand why Avraham was chosen to be spoken to by G-d and given a G-dly task. Also, what is this task, really, and what is this verse coming to teach us?

 

G-d chooses an individual who was living in a time of idol worshipping and zero recognition of Hashem. But why this person?

 

Our Rabbis say that Terach, Avraham's father, was an idol worshipper. He even owned an idol store. He sold every color, every size and every type. Pretty whack, but then again, did he really know any better? Was he just going with the trend? Isn't it okay to just do what everyone else is doing?

 

In a shiur by Rabbi Wallerstein, we see that when Avraham was growing up, he was always searching for truth. He didn't succumb to outside pressure, instead he wanted to find the realness in the world. What makes the wind blow, sun rise, birds sing? There has to be a higher power. Avraham would contemplate beautiful things in life and realize that there is a greater power that controls everything.

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.

To volunteer, please contact:
