March 3, 2023ג״פשת רדא ’יהוצת תשרפ MAKE HIS NAME GREAT5:18 PMDear Parents, The ךורע ןחלוש in ו״לק ןמיס states that םיקוספ ׳ימ תוחפ ןירוק ןיא ׳ג ןירוקש םויב. Any day we call up three people to the Torah we must read at least ten psukim. Two of the three תוילע need to be a minimum of three psukim, and the last, four. The ten psukim minimum corresponds to the תורבדה תרשע and the תורמאמ הרשע – the ten utterances Hashem used to create the world.The one exception to this rule is the האירק we listen to on Purim Morning. We lein the psukim of םידיפרב לארשיב םחליו קלמע אביו as found in חלשב תרשפ. With this האירק we call three people to the Torah, but only read nine psukim – three per Aliyah. Why didn’t Chazal dictate that we add a tenth possuk? The הרורב הנשמ quotes the תוחרוא םייח who states: תויהל םרג קלמעש ינפמד זמרל הלעמלמ וא הטמלמ םיקוספ םהילע ףיסוהל ל״זח וצר אלו םירסח ויתוישרפ ויהי ךכ הק סכ לע די יכ ביתכדכ רסח אסכהו םשה. Chazal chose not to add any psukim to this האירק to allude to the fact that קלמע is the primary cause of Hashem’s name and throne’s incompleteness – and we therefore read the incomplete השרפ of קלמע on Purim.Tosfos in תוכרב, and the רוט in ו״נ ןמיס quoting the opinion of Tosfos, state that when we say in Kaddish ךרבמ אבר הימש אהי, the name הימש is referring to Hashem’s name of הק. We are davening that Hashem’s incomplete name of הק, should become אבר – great and whole.Thus on Purim, we are mispallel that Hashem’s full name be manifest throughout the world ץראה לכ לע ךלמל ׳ה היהו.Thank you to the Silverman and Faibish family for sponsoring a day of learning as a zchus for my Refuah Sheleima and to all those who davened on my behalf and reached out. I am very appreciative and moved by everyone’s concern and caring.A Freleichin Purim to all. I am looking forward to seeing your children in their beautiful costumes on Purim at my home 6 Portina Rd.!תבש טוגRabbi Ochs●● Mon, March 6 - Taanis Esther- Special Dismissal - 5-8G -12pm, 6-8B - 12:30pm● Tue, March 7 - Wed, March 8 - Purim/ Shushan Purim- No School● Mon, March 13- K1, PRE-K 1-2, 1G, 7G, 8G Parent Teacher Conferences● Wed, March 15 - 2-6G Parent Teacher Conferences● Mon, March 20 - 1-8B Parent Teacher Conferences● Monday, MLK Day, our staff gathered for a phenomenal professional development presentation.
