February 5 2021 ALWAYS ASCENDING Dear Parents The Parsha states Do not ascend on steps to my Rashi states when you build a ramp for the Mizbeiach don t make steps but rather keep it smooth and inclined like a ramp The Meforshim wonder why this mitzvah is selected to conclude this Parsha What connection does it have to the climax of the Parsha The Meforshim point out that there is a difference between an object placed on a ramp and an object placed on a step While an object on a step is firmly at rest and stable an object on a ramp runs the risk of rolling downwards The Torah concludes the Parsha with this mitzvah to inform us that the key to climbing in our is to view our spiritual growth as a continual process that cannot be paused Neglecting our spiritual growth results in an automatic decline in our Ruchniyus 4 46 PM In the possuk states The writes that in Yiddishkeit there is no middle ground or state of neutrality Either one is ascending or descending Unlike others who can be content with mediocrity Klal Yisrael cannot We can never rest on our laurels This then is the lesson of the Mizbeiach s ramp The Mizbeiach represents and its ramp represents our continual struggle to ascend and strive for more in our spiritual development Because otherwise we will slip downwards Hence it is very appropriate for Parsha of Matan Torah the blueprint for our spiritual growth to conclude with this mitzvah Sun Feb 7 Parent Teacher Conferences 6 8B Israel Mon Feb 8 Parent Teacher Conferences grades 1 8B Tue Feb 9 Parent Teacher Conferences for 7 8G Thurs Feb 11 Wed Feb 17 Winter break no classes Thurs Feb 18 regular classes resume Rabbi Ochs Wow Grandparent week was really beautiful Seeing the smiles and joy of our grandparents watching their grandkids was priceless Nachas with a capital N The students were SO excited to wave to their grandparents as they Zoomed into their classrooms Thank you to all those that participated We thank our Shoroshim members for their ongoing support towards our school A huge thank you to our teachers for preparing and running the Zoom sessions Rabbi Mordechai Becher had the grandparents laughing hysterically at our kickoff event as he discussed the role of a grandparent We all need to laugh a bit more especially this year Thank you to Rabbi JP Katz for filming and producing a heartwarming video A Day at TA which was shown at the kickoff event Thank you to all the administrators for sharing meaningful memories of their own grandparents highlighting the very real and long lasting impact grandparents make for years to come The Digital Dov Katz event was out of this world as Digital Dov connected with grandparents and grandkids with his minute to win it games scavenger hunt and family feud trivia games It was adorable watching everyone run around their houses to find the various items to compete in the games In short although Zoom is second best to in person it was a really great second best Next year we look forward to seeing our grandparents in person in Boston Yasher Koach to Rabbi Frohlich for a wonderful Grandparent s Week Mazel Tov to 4G on being misayem Parshas Vayechi and Sefer Bereishis They will celebrate next week with a pizza and project siyum Thank you Mrs Sternfield Mazel Tov to 5G on being misayem Parshas Yisro They decorated little cakes to commemorate Kabalas HaTorah on Har Sinai Thank you Mrs Gould
