Delivered for Machon Ora, Passaic, NJ on Motzei Shabbos 3/1/25  

Did you or your children go to summer camp? If so, do you remember the songs you or they sang? For me, my childhood soundtrack of classic summer camp songs is filled with silly ditties like “I Said a Boom-Chicka Boom” and “Sippin' Cider through a Straw.” Throw in a “Zum Gali Gali” and a “Shalom Rav” or two, and it always made me smile that my kids are singing those same summer songs – a joyful summer soundtrack filled with ruach (spirit) and a camp legacy. Last week, I visited our Temple Emanuel kids at Camp Ramah and found them singing a very different tune. After lunch, they gathered in the middle of the dining hall, swaying in large circles, serious and spiritual. Mournfully, they belted out Acheinu, a prayer for the hostages: “As for our brethren, the whole house of Israel, who are in trouble or captivity… May the Almighty have mercy upon them, and bring them from trouble to abundance, from darkness to light, and from subjection to redemption, now speedily and soon.” My heart broke, as all our hearts break. So proud. So moved. And yet, so broken that Acheinu is this summer's camp soundtrack – that the world our kids inhabit is one where hostages have been held in Gaza now for 295 days. It was with the echo of the campers' plaintive prayers that I went this week to Washington, D.C., at the generous invitation of our Congressman, Jake Auchincloss, to hear Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress. I don't need to tell you the hopes, the fears, and the politics that surrounded this moment – especially taking place, as it did, in the midst of our own historic moment here in the United States.

Shiur @ Aish Kodesh in 5 Towns - Acheinu Kol Beis Yisroel in Growth by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

Rabbi Kalish

It appears there's more to the story about why Calgary's mayor, Jyoti Gondek, abruptly cancelled her participation in the Jewish community's 35th annual Hanukkah menorah lighting ceremony on Dec. 7. Organizers of the now-infamous ceremony at City Hall acknowledge they had actually wanted the event to be an even stronger show of support for Israel, and let city officials know this in meetings during the days leading up to Hanukkah. Here were some of the original requests: let guests and dignitaries hold up posters of the Israeli hostages now captives of Hamas. Play a video of a Hebrew prayer for the hostages, called “Acheinu”. Stage a pro-Israel demonstration outside the City Hall after the candles were lit. Bring Israeli flags into the building. The city turned these down. Rabbi Menachem Matusof of Chabad of Alberta in Calgary said his committee reluctantly agreed to follow the restrictions, although he balked at the flag veto. The city also frowned on two slogans on the publicity posters: “Support for Israel” and “Israel Bonds raffle”. The rabbi promised them the evening would be a celebration of Hanukkah, and not a demonstration. But mayor cancelled anyway, claiming the organizers “repositioned” the traditional lighting ceremony “as an event to support Israel.” The move has been felt as a slap in the face to the Jewish community in Canada's fourth-largest city, especially during this time of rampant antisemitism in Canada and the world. On today's The CJN Daily, host Ellin Bessner goes behind the scenes of Calgary's chanukkiah debacle with event organizer Nelson Halpern; Rabbi Mark Glickman of Temple B'nai Tikvah and journalist Jen Gerson, who slammed the mayor for not doing her job.

This shiur, delivered in Yeshivat HaKotel for the newly formed Acheinu program, explores the nature of the world pre-flood and post-flood. Pre-flood the world received its Godliness from Hashem whereas post-flood the world discovered its Godliness from within. This change was brought about through two mechanisms: 1. the flood 2. the Teiva. The flood of life destroys all of our toxic systems and the Teiva is where we discover our inner strength.

Mussar Shmooze given by Rabbi Ben Zion Bamberger, recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey NY.
