Rabbi’s Message
!
!
Our Shul dinner is a yearly “ritual”, where we join together to
assess and celebrate our congregation’s progress and
achievements. It is now many years since our Shul was
established, and we continue to stress, as we have from the
beginning, three pillars of our faith: Torah, Tefilla, and Chesed –
the study of our heritage, communal and personal prayer, and
caring and support for others.

The Jewish religion has multiple facets, and different

people stress varying parts of the religion as being of foremost
importance. The Midrash records that there was once a debate
among the great Rabbis, as to which verse in the Torah captures
the essence of what it means to be Jewish.

Ben Zoma said, the central verse is “Shema Yisrael

Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad”—there is only one G-d
and we must worship him.

Ben Nanas said, the verse which embodies the

quintessence of Torah is “Ve-ahavta lere’acha kamocha”—
love your fellow man as you love yourself.

Ben Pazi said, the central characteristic of Judaism is

in the verse, “Es hakeves ha’echad ta’aseh baboker, ve’es
hakeves hasheini ta’aseh bein ha’arbayim”—the first lamb is
to be sacrificed [daily] in the morning and the second lamb
is to be brought every evening.

$!

!

Rav Ploni stood up and said: “The Halacha follows Ben

Pazi”—the ruling is in accordance with the view of Ben Pazi.

This conclusion to the rabbinic debate is surprising, to say

the least. Service of God, service to man—these are values
familiar to us as the cornerstone of religion. But offering a daily
sacrifice? Why did Ben Pazi rate that so highly? And, most
amazing, the assembled Rabbis agreed with him!

Nechama and Ari

Markowitz
Guests of Honor

Ari and Nechama Markowitz have lived in Monsey nearly their

entire lives and have played important roles in the shul since
moving to the Blueberry Hill community six years ago—Ari as a
chazzan and recording secretary of the Shul Board and Nechama
working on various print and publicity projects. The Markowitzes
attribute their shul and the community involvement to their parents
who have always been extremely involved in their respective shuls,
from serving as executive board members, to Sisterhood president,
to gabbaim.

Ari is a graduate of Queens College and Yeshiva University’s

Wurzweiler School of Social Work and serves as assistant
administrator at The Jewish Home at Rockleigh in Bergen County.
He has enjoyed music for as long as he can remember, learning
early on from his grandfather, a professional chazzan. As a child,
Ari was a member of the Tzlil V’Zemer Boys Choir and has co-
produced and written lyrics for an album entitled Shaleim. An
accomplished pianist and singer, Ari’s vocal talents can be heard
regularly on Shabbosim as a chazzan for the shul. He has been
named a finalist for The Leo Brody Jewish Communal Service
Award.

Nechama attended Stern College for Women and the Fashion

Institute of Technology and works as a graphic designer. She has a
passion for the fine arts one of her paintings was recently on
display at The Rockland Center for the Arts Members Gallery Show.
The Markowitzes are the proud parents of their son, Ezra.

Yeshaya Rotbard

Avodat Hakodesh
Awardee

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Yeshaya Rotbard has lived

in the Monsey area since 1980 and has been affiliated with
Ohaiv Yisroel for more than 25 years. Mr. Rotbard’s
dedication to the shul is on display—serving as gabbai every
Shabbat at the hashkama minyan and organizing Shalosh
Seudot every Shabbat.

Over the past 30 years Mr. Rotbard has been deeply involved
in the Jewish community, working with the Jewish Education
Program (JEP) of Rockland, Feldheim Publishers, and
teaching English studies in yeshivas in and around Rockland
County. His passion for writing, for poetry, and for music has
led to several publications: a text on Pirkei Avos entitled
Successful Jewish Living; a volume of poetry, The Calligraphy
of Clouds (and two soon-to-be-published volumes); as well as
compositions of numerous songs and niggunim.

Mr. Rotbard is the proud father of Meir, Shulamis (married to

Shlomo Jackson), Dovid (married to Mara Warren), Chanie
(married to Hillel Max), Yossi, Moishy (recently married to
Yocheved Hiller), Yaakov, Akiva and Aviva, and nine
grandchildren.
