March 24, 2023ג״פשת ןסינ ’בארקיו תשרפ THE COMBINATION OF BOTH6:42 PMDear Parents,Parshas Vayikra discusses the different תונברק offered in the ןכשמ and the שדקמה תיב. The pesukim describe the various Halachos and תודובע that are done with each korban. The Halacha states that prior to the הטיחש of cattle and sheep, the owner of the korban does הכימס – leans his hand/s (matter of dispute) on the ןברק’s head. Only after the הכימס does the לעב ןברקה proceed to slaughter the animal. The םירוטה לעב notes that in ׳א קוספ ׳ג קרפ when referring to the הכימס done on the רפ (cow) that is brought as a םימלש ןברק, the קוספ reads: ונברק שאר לע ודי ךמסו. In ׳ח קוספ, which references the הכימס done on sheep, the קוספ states: ודי תא ךמסו – there is the extra תא. Explains the םירוטה לעב: A cow is a strong animal, and can handle its owner’s leaning his full weight against it. Therefore, with a cow הכימס is done וחוכ לכב – with all the owner’s strength. However, the sheep is a weaker animal. The Torah enjoins the owner: ודי תא ךמסו – be careful and sensitive towards the sheep. Do not lean with your full strength on the animal, as it may hurt the animal. Rather rest your hands gently on the sheep. This same sensitivity should be displayed towards our children. Different situations warrant differing responses. Parent and teachers need to weigh whether a particular incident calls for a more sensitive reaction. There is a dictum from Chazal that החוד לאמשו תברקמ ןימי – one should draw a person close with his right hand, and distance him with his left hand. The common interpretation of this chazal is that in Chinuchone must do both the positive ןימי תברקמ, and at points, for the benefit of the child, החוד לאמש. Rav Simcha Wasserman ל״צז explains differently. Chazal, he said, are referring to a scenario wherein the ךנחמ needs to give רסומ to a child. The purpose of course, is not to just temporarily stop the behavior, but to direct the child onto the רשיה ךרד and turn the child around. At such a pivotal moment, it is necessary to not only exercise החוד לאמש, but also תברקמ ןימי. The combination of these two behaviors bringing the child close with the right hand and pushing him away with the left turns the child around.תבש טוג!Rabbi Ochs●● Sun, April 2 - Sun, April 16- Pesach Break- No School● Fri, May 12 - Grandparents Day● Sun, May 14 - Hakhel ● FIRST DAY OF 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR - THURSDAY, AUGUST 31● Monday, MLK Day, our staff gathered for a phenomenal professional development presentation.
