Pesach?

Letter from the Editor B’’h

Howzit all you Bnei Buzzers

Firstly I hope you all have had the best Pesach filled only with the crnchiest matza, finest
Kneidlach and obvs cheesiest Matza pizza …. With holidays amongst us I hope you are all
resting up super well! Especially with Hadracha and Winter Camp around the corner
#pumped. Wishing you all an amazing rest of Chag!

“ ‫“הֹו ֵ֤כ ַח ּתֹו ִ֨כי ַ֙ח ֶאת־ ֲע ִמי ֶ֔תָך ְו ֹֽלא־ ִת ָ ָּׂ֥שא ָע ָ ָ֖ליו ֹֽח ְטא‬
“You shall rebuke your fellow and do not bear a sin because of him.”

There is this story of this young man named Josh. He was on a luxury cruise ship when he
heard a loud banging noise coming from the cabin next to his. He went to the hall and saw
that the cabin door was open, so he went in. He saw a man banging on the floor. Josh
asked him "What in the world are you doing?" The man replied "I am making a hole in my
side of the boat." Josh gasped, "You are what?!" The man replied, "I am making a hole! I
paid for this cabin, so I can do what I want here, it's none of your business!" Josh then said
gently to the man "Listen Sir, we are all on this boat together; if you go down, we ALL go
down..."

When the Torah mentions the commandment to rebuke a fellow Jew, it ends with the
words, 'And do not bear sin because of him.' However, the Targum translates it as 'And do
not receive a punishment for his sin’.
The Targum is teaching us that all Jewish people are unified. If a Jew sins and you could
have prevented it, then you get punished for his sin as well.
My actions affect you and your actions affect me- we are one unit!

The Chofetz Chaim writes that when someone dies, Hashem may say to him "Why didn't
you keep Shabbas, learn Torah and say brachot?"
He will reply, "Me?! I observed ALL those mitzvot?!" But because every Jew is responsible
for every other Jew, you bear another's sin if you didn't try and correct him.
Each of us is obligated to reach out and bring others closer to Hashem!

'And United We Shall Stand’, May we all keep this in mind with the end of chag coming up!

A Vort in Short B’’h

HACHSHARA 2019

Just a short thought on Pesach.... In ‫שמות י״ב‬we

read about when the Egyptians chased after the

Jews when they left Egypt. The Jews were trapped

between them and the sea, the people were told
that ' ‫ה‬will help them and it will all be okay. After
that, it says that ‫משה‬cried out. Here ‫רש״י‬tells us
that ‫משה‬was crying out to ' ‫ה‬that he would back
him up and save the people, ' ‫ה‬told him that the

people should just get moving. From here we can
learn that when it comes to geula ' ‫ ה‬expects us to

make a move. The word in Hebrew for freedom is
‫חירות‬being the root of the word ‫ אחריות‬meaning

responsibility. If we are free we have the

responsibility to make the move and be proactive,

get up and do. The time of Geula is a time for short

prayers and a lot of action. (Rabbi Riskin)

We hope this pesach you are able to understand

the responsibility that we have as young Jewish

women's in taking action in order to bring geulah

It’s a special edition of the ‫ ישראליות‬page this week, for we are writing to you from Eretz Hakodesh! To
all those who wondering, yes, Israel is still amazing as you remember.
Having had this weird unique experience of coming back home as a visitor, here’s a short list of a few
Israeli things that you might only notice and appreciate when you come back after a long time:
Being in Israel means to always look around, trying to find familiar faces. It means walking on the
street and understand what everyone’s saying, because they all speak one language. It is to drive on the
right side of the road, not the left and not the wrong. It is calling everyone , ‫אחי‬even the Arabic oke
who sells you the falafel. Being in Israel means to get excited from every single soldier that passes
next to you. It is staying up until really light, like 11pm, and not being the only one on the street. It’s
landing in Ben Guryion airport and driving straight away to Jerusalem, just cuz there’s nothing like the
air there. It means to get stuck in crazy traffic in the middle of the day, because it’s Chol Hamoed and
everyone’s on holiday going out to hike. Coming back to Israel means to cry on the airplane when we
just above Egypt, only because you know you’re going to soon see Israel. It is knowing that you’re
coming home.
