Healthy Snack Program Update
Yahrzeit Announcements
After much delay this year’s Healthy Afterschool
Backpack Program is underway again. The first
week, only 4 students had signed up to participate by
by the second week, 3 more students had signed up
bringing the total to 7 students. At this time there
are 31 students participating. For those of our
members who have not participated in the two years
since the inception of this program, here is a summary of our activity. The program provides healthy
after school snacks for qualifying students in the
Kindergarten and First Grade of the Sapphire Elementary School in Monroe. Qualifying students are
the same as those who are in the free lunch program.
We provide snacks for the whole week, seven days,
and try to make those snacks healthy, avoiding sugar if possible. We rotate families responsible for purchasing and packing the bags each week. Generally
we deliver the packed bags on Monday morning and
the children are asked to return them the following
day. The school returns the empty bags to us on Friday and the responsible families have to pack the
bags by Monday morning.
Candle lighting is the evening before the listed date.
We welcome new and old participants. Contact Jerome and Paula Spector for a sign-up calendar. You
can reach them by email: [email protected]
or by phone: 845.610.3548.
Thanks, Jerome and Paula.

Parshat Terumah – The Cherubim
“I will speak (declares G-d) from above the ark-cover, from be-
tween the two cherubim [Ex. 25:18-22]
What is the physical appearance of the cherubim – for only if we
can picture what they look like, can we begin to understand what
it is that they are to symbolize. Rashi’s commentary is enlightening. (Rashi, Ch25. v.19) “The image of each was in the form of a
child’s face; a child’s face replete with an innocent beauty, an untroubled brow, an inquisitive eye, a ready laugh, a beautiful smile,
all combined with wings soaring heavenwards, provide a picture of
purity seeking spirituality.” But this is not the first time that we
meet cherubim in the Torah. Indeed, the first time they are mentioned suggests a brutal contradiction to the image just presented.
Turning to the opening sections of the Torah, we read how Adam
and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden. [Gen. 3:24] “So He
drove out the man, and He placed at the east of the Garden of
Eden the cherubim and the revolving flaming sword to guard the
way to the tree of life.” This conduct of banishment and flaming
sword seems to be a far cry from the serene portrait of the cherubs
in the Sanctuary. And Rashi here minces no words about these
sword-toting cherubim. “Angels of destruction” he calls them.
What message is this confusing symbolism trying to teach us?
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin has proposed an interpretation based upon
the “child’s face” feature of the cherub. A child is indeed parent to
the adult; a child has almost infinite potential – either for spiritual innocence and purity or for destruction and cruelty. Fundamentally, it depends where we place the child. If he stands in the
Sanctuary, atop the ark which contains the Tablets of the Law,
then he will express purity, idealism and spirituality. If, however,
he is placed outside of the Garden of Eden and is given a fiery
sword to hold, then we will convey desolation and doom. When our
children are educated by violent television and video games, rather than the tablets of law, can we be surprised by the increase of
violent behavior that characterizes Western culture? There may
be another interpretation. Both cherub accounts in the Torah include the cherub as being an angel with the face of a child as well
as a protector or guardian. A well-known Midrash recounts that
when G-d decided to give the Torah to the children of Israel, He
first wanted a guarantor, a surety that the Torah would not simply disappear over the course of time. The Almighty wanted a protector for his investment. Moses initially offered the patriarchs,
who were rejected; then the prophets, and then the leaders of each
generation, each time to suffer rejection from the Almighty. Finally Moses offers the children as security, and this G-d accepts. The
concept of children as the only real protection and guarantee for
the eternity of Torah resonates from the Talmudic comment that
the cherubim had the face of children. After all, the cherubim are
fashioned out of the very cover of the ark, the very protective coat
of the tablets, of the Torah of the Divine. Torah is authentically
guarded and protected when it is studied and observed by the children, continued from generation to generation. Our Sages teach us
that the world continues to exist only by merit of children studying Torah. Moreover, G-d speaks through the cherubs. The Sages
of Torah, human beings who dedicate themselves to the law and
its commentaries, protect the Torah by interpreting it meaningfully for each generation, by enacting decrees and additional practices which enable Torah to be relevant and crucial to the urgent
demands and cultural temper of every era and environment. And,
a truly great Torah sage, even when he achieves grand old age,
often retains a countenance of child-like innocence and purity, his
face, unbelievably, not a terrain of canals and furrows but rather
smooth and alive with light and brightness. Such was the face of
the legendary Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the last great sage in America who was considered to be the father, the gadol, of the entire
generation. Reb Moshe Feinstein was a phenomenon of intellectual breadth, a master of Torah and all of its interpretations, but
always gave the impression – through his twinkling eyes and unfurrowed brows – of child-like inquisitiveness, innocence and purity. Rav Shmeul Rozovsky, one of the Roshei Yeshivas from Ponnevitz wrote that Torah can be taught from the best Rebbe in existence (the Almighty), to the best disciple in the world (Moshe
Rabbeinu), under the best of conditions (in the Holy of Holies), but
the receiver has to be child-like. In order to learn Torah we need
to maintain the child-like enthusiasm and child-like innocence
that will allow us to accept Torah and integrate it into our personalities. This is a challenge because the older we become, the less
child-like we are. But what should not be a challenge for us is that
at least our children should still be “child-like”. It may be difficult
at age 40, at age 50, at age 60 or 99 to maintain child-like innocence. But, it should not be a challenge that when a kid is 10 years
old, he is no longer a kid. It is unfortunately more and more the
case that our children have picked up from us and from our society, even when they are 10 and 12 and 15, a cynicism that does not
allow them to be considered “child-like” anymore. They are no
longer the innocent Cherubim and as such, the Torah they are
supposed to learn becomes exceedingly more difficult for them to
accept. We have to try to ensure that our children should at least
not become cynics, at least while they are still children. The only
way we can try to ensure that is if there are incidents in life that
tend to make us jaded and more cynical, we not pass on that attitude to our children. There is plenty of time, unfortunately, for
them to become cynical on their own. We do not need to help to
make them cynics. Who could be trusted to guard this awesome
manuscript, the Torah, that communicates G-d’s love and wisdom?
In whose hands should lay the treasured “marriage contract”?
Exodus - “From the lid [of the Ark] you shall make two cherubs at
its ends. Their wings shall spread upwards, sheltering the lid with
their wings”. Talmud – “Each of the cherubs had the image of a
child’s face”. Zohar – “One in the likeness of a boy and the other of
a girl”. The cherubs weren’t made in the image of Moses, but in
the image of our children. G-d chose the Jewish children to watch
over the Torah and constitute His national guard. It is their wings
that will carry the Torah into the future.
