Chadashos 2.4.22

‫בס‘‘ד‬

FEBRUARY 7 The story is told of an elderly hunchbacked street cleaner who swept streets along the
Yarkon River in Tel Aviv. For years people silently ignored him barely noticing his sad face,
School Resumes broken spirit and disfigured body. One day after the street cleaner had passed away, it was
discovered that he was a disciple of the great Rabbi Klonimus Kalman of Piaseczna and a
•••••• survivor of Auschwitz. The street cleaner had deserved respect and honor and could have
provided a wealth of stories about life in Europe; instead he was ignored and an
FEBRUARY 26-27 opportunity was lost. Sadly this anecdote is not unique. Too often we don’t take advantage
of the opportunities around us. Suddenly the gift is gone forever.
Yavne Production
Our sages teach: Sh’al avicha veyagedcha, Ask your father and he will relate it to you, your
•••••• grandparents and they will tell you. Parents and grandparents, especially those who have
experienced another world in another era, need to be celebrated by children as absolute
MARCH 16 treasures. Holocaust survivors, in particular, who experienced the atrocities first hand can
offer our generation something that future generations will never have. The children of
Taanis Esther our generation have been gifted with a final opportunity to listen to those who are willing
Early Childhood Dismissal 1:45 to share their incredible stories.

Kindergarten Dismissal 2:00 Among the raw materials to be contributed to the Mishkan - in this week’s parsha - was
Grades 1-6 Dismissal 2:00 atzei shitim, acacia wood (25,5). Rashi questions from where they procured that particular
type of wood and the Midrash explains as follows: Yaakov Avinu foresaw – through Divine
Jr. High Dismissal 12:30 inspiration – that the people of Israel were destined to build a Mishkan in the wilderness
Yavne Dismissal 2:05 and would require this type of wood. He therefore brought with him shitim trees to Egypt,
planted them there, and instructed his children – should they leave Egypt to take them
•••••• along (Midrash Tanchuma 9).

MARCH17-18 Imagine! Yaakov Avinu planted, fertilized, tilled and irrigated. Would Yaakov Avinu have
lived in our time a casual observer might have silently passed his field, as he seemingly
Purim - No School tended to the mundane, barely noticing him and certainly not realizing that he had an
important story to tell. In the rush and pressures of daily life, a casual observer might have
•••••• been too busy to pause and ask Yaakov Avinu why he was toiling over his field. The
observer would have missed a story of monumental importance and worldwide impact for
MARCH 27 Yaakov Avinu. He was planting the seeds of the future Mishkan, the sacred dwelling place
of the Almighty Himself.
79th HAC Tribute Dinner
Save the Date! No, we do not live in the era of Yaakov Avinu. However, we do have giants and sages,
elderly and aging people among us. We should be sure to value them, respect them and
5:28 take advantage of that which they afford us as they share their life experiences. They have
valuable stories that can illuminate our lives; they represent our bridge to the past while
offering a glimpse into a vanishing world.

Have a wonderful Shabbos! We look forward to seeing everyone back in school!
