June 4 2021 ILLUSION Dear Parents Parshas Shelach begins with the possuk Rashi explains Hashem did not command you to send meraglim He assured you that is a good land Since you insisted on spending spies Hashem will give you room to err and possibly not enter the land Unfortunately we know the rest of the story Klal Yisrael was tested and didn t rise to the challenge They ended up wandering in the desert for forty years during which the entire generation died We learn from here that one should avoid putting oneself into a situation of nisayon No one can be assured of his ability to overcome the lure of his Because of this during one of the first Tefillos of our morning tefillah we daven don t place me in a situation of a challenge The Alter of Kelm illustrates the true nature of most nisyonos A Jew while walking on Shabbos afternoon notices a thick wad of bills lying on the grass He instinctively recoils because it is Shabbos the money is muktzah and he will not touch it Then he takes another look at the bundle and begins to rationalize I am a poor man he thinks and I can really use the money I have bills to pay outstanding tuition dues and groceries to purchase I will certainly give tzedakah from this money He begins to vacillate Muktzah is only and I am not in a public domain Settling one s debts giving tzedakah and paying tuition certainly outweighs the prohibition of handling muktzah Moreover I ll even carry it At the moment he is about to capitulate and pick up the money another Jew passes by Seeing the man eyeing the money the second Jew calls out Don t you see the money is counterfeit Don t touch it Imagine that the second Jew never warned him and our protagonist did pick up the money and brought it home only to discover it was counterfeit Or even worse he used the money and was wrongfully accused of dealing with counterfeit money How would he have felt about his initial rationalization 7 59 PM Sun June 13 8B and 8G graduation Wed June 16 last day of school for PreK and K noon dismissal Thurs June 17 last day of school noon dismissal Explains the Alter most of the nisyonos we have with the yetzer hara are nothing but Falshe Gelt counterfeit It is all an illusion A person who fails a nisayon not only fails but causes himself misery and misfortune Today we have so many diversions attempting to tempt us and suck us into a whirlpool Yet it is all a deception and will bring us no lasting happiness Certainly we should daven and do anything in our power to avoid such situations Rabbi Ochs On Monday K1 received their first siddurim at their Siddur play They sang so beautifully Thank you to their moros Mrs Simon Mrs Wolf Mrs Laks and Miss Mintzes On Wednesday PreK2 celebrated their siyum of learning They performed for parents and grandparents Thank you to their moros Miss Levin Mrs Exler and Miss Sharabi A special thank you goes to Mrs Nussbaum for her musical accompaniment at both performances Mazal Tov to 8G on being misayem Parshas D varim Thank you Mrs Ochs Many wonderful end of year activities are happening in the Williston building The boys in grades 1 and 2 went bowling followed by a pizza lunch as a reward for learning more than 2500 Pesukim for Chemdas Yosef in memory of Rabbi Halpern s father continued on page 2
