UPCOMING Parshat Ha’azinu/Sukkot By: Rabbi Landsman

EVENTS The holiday of Sukkot starts this coming Sunday evening on the 15th day of

Candle Lighting: Tishrei. Sukkot is characterized by the unique commandment of dwelling in Sukkot

5:57 temporary, hut-like dwellings, as the Torah says in Vayikra “In booths you are to

Havdallah: 6:56 dwell for seven days …so that your generations will know that I caused the children
of Israel to dwell in booths when I took them from the land of Egypt….”
Wednesday Oct.26 The Sages in masechet Succah (11b) disagree as to what the “booths” that

the Jews dwelt in refer to. Rabbi Eliezer says that these booths are a reference to
Sunday Oct. 30 the miraculous “Ananai HaKavod,” the “Clouds of Glory,” with which Hashem
First 5th—8th
Parent-Child surrounded the Jews throughout their forty year sojourn in the desert after having
Learning Program left Egypt. These clouds protected the Jews from the elements and the hot desert

9-11:30 floor, kept the Jews’ clothing clean, and guided the nation of Israel through the

UPK in Session desert. Rabbi Akiva maintains, however, that these “booths” refer to the actual
booths or huts that the Jews built while in the desert to serve as their dwellings.
Wednesday Nov. 2 The Aruch HaShulchan (Orech Chayim 625) raises the following question:

Rosh Chodesh Whereas Rabbi Eliezer’s booths were manifestations of a great miracle that Hashem
Cheshvan
performed for the Jews in the desert, and certainly merits a commandment
8th grade Parent commemorating the infinite kindness and protection of Hashem, Rabbi Akiva’s
High School Night
interpretation is most puzzling in light of the commandment to dwell in the Sukkah.
8:00PM
What is the significance of the huts that the Jews lived in while in the desert?

The Aruch HaShulchan answers his own question. According to Rabbi Akiva,

YCQ Family News the Succah commemorates the greatness of the Jewish people. Their faith in
Mazel Tov to Mrs. Cohen Hashem was so complete and so total that they traveled into the uninhabitable
(Assistant Principal) on the
Bar Mitzvah of her son Eitan desert wasteland at Hashem’s command. In this wasteland, the Jews did not even

(8B2)! have permanent dwellings, but merely booths, trusting in Hashem that He would

Kapparot Program

On Monday October tenth, the students in grades 1-5 attended a Yom Kippur Kapparot
assembly. Rabbi Landsman told a story about the children of a king and queen who felt so
privileged to be part of the royal family. The children were inspired to have a better
understanding of how they should behave on Yom Kippur. The children really connected
and took upon themselves not to eat junk food on Yom Kippur. The students did their
kapparot with money, the proceeds of which will go to an Israeli organization called Of
Le’Shabbat. The tzedakah collected will be given to help the poor in Israel buy food for

Shabbat.

Rabbi Lavi Greenspan Speaks to the Eighth Grade Students

On Wednesday October 5th, the eighth grade students had the privilege of hearing Rabbi Lavi Greenspan speak about his
life story. Lavi became blind in his mid-twenties while studying at Fordham Law School. He had previously graduated
YCQ, Yeshiva of Flatbush High School and received a BA from Yeshiva University. After losing his eyesight, he
completed law school and passed the Bar Exam and furthered his graduate education by obtaining Smicha from Yeshiva
University and most recently receiving a Masters Degree in Social Work. He is humorous, outgoing and extremely
personable. The students loved his stories and jokes and his words of compassion and wisdom. Lavi told us about the
hardest and seemingly lowest point of his life. What was it that kept him going that was so important for us to hear Erev
Yom Kippur? Lavi told us that there are four things that keep his spirits high: Family, Am Israel, his Rebbe, and Torah. On
a day like Yom Kippur we think back to Lavi’s story and realize that we are so blessed and Baruch Hashem we have so
much bracha!

YCQ Sixth Grade Visits Chofetz Chaim!
This past Monday our sixth grade boys visited Rabbi Grunblatt, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim to
receive their first Gemarah. Together with their Rabbeim the boys had an opportunity to hear special words
of Torah and chizuk from the Rosh Yeshiva. Rabbi Grunblatt then presented each student with their
Gmarah. Mazel Tov to all our learners! May we see many great things from all our students! Special thanks
to the Rabbeim for organizing this beautiful and momentous trip!

Rabbi Finkelman Delivers Teshuva Lecture to the JHS Students

On Monday October 10th, 2016 the JHS students had the unbelievable honor and privilege of
hearing Rabbi Finkelman, mashgiach ruchani, Yeshivat Ohr HaChaim, speak to them about
Teshuvah. He described the unbelievable opportunity that Yom Kippur provides us to improve
ourselves, and get closer to HaShem. He told some incredible Dvrei Torah, stories and anecdotes
in order to inspire the entire audience. After the drasha Rabbi Finkelman remained in the shul
for an extended period of time giving each student a special bracha and wishing them a
wonderful new year!

Dear Parents,
Please be aware that the following services are provided to your child through the NYC Board

of Education/Committee for Special Education, not YCQ:
• SETSS
• Occupational Therapy
• Physical Therapy
• Speech and Language Services
• Counseling
Please call the Committee for Special Education (CSE) if your child is not receiving the

services that should be provided. We allow the services to take place in our Yeshiva, however, we do
not oversee the services. The CSE is constantly changing forms and regulations. If you receive
paperwork for the CSE, and are unsure as to what they are regarding, please call the CSE
directly and ask what you need to do with it. In addition, please be aware that the school does not get
copies of paperwork that you are provided from the CSE, nor do we have access to your child's Board of
Education information. You are your child's best advocate.

In addition, if you attend a meeting with the CSE, please send us a copy of the !ESP paperwork
you receive so we can keep it on file. Please send it to Debbie Bermish's attention, in the Resource
Room. This is the only way that we are able to stay on top of which students have been given services.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to another successful year
with your child at YCQ.

Sincerely,

Principal Mrs. Deborah Bermish
