Mazal Tov Kobi on your upcoming Barmitzvah
This Shabbat a 5th generation Elwood Bar Mitzvah boy will be called to the Torah. Kobi Borowski will take the first step to becoming a responsible young Jewish man and thereby continuing a legacy that his great great grandfather began. In January 1943, Moshe Baruch Hirsh, of blessed memory, was part of the Inauguration Committee planning the celebration and dedication of ‘Elwood Shule’ in its first formation, as it moved from various private homes in Elwood (since 1933) to a permanent building in Avoca Ave (now the Scout Hall). The Shule later moved 39 Dickens St in 1957, where we celebrated today. It is obvious from the meeting minutes of those early days that involvement in Shule activity ran deep and led to utilisation of personal skills for the communal benefit. Moshe Baruch who had an embroidering factory, manufactured the original and some of the subsequent curtains for the Aron HaKodesh and Torah and Amud covers. The original Aron Hakodesh cover from 1943 was restored and put up for the Bar Mitzvah of Kobi's brother, Jarrah three years ago, and now its being used for Kobi's. Another personal valued item is a Sefer Torah brought out by Moshe Baruch from Israel in 1939 which will rest next to Kobi as he leins. Moshe Baruch's legacy lives on not just in a beautifully embroidered velvet curtain and the Sefer Torah , but as a living and thriving legacy through his extended family’s ongoing connection and dedication to Judaism and to the very Shule he helped breath the first breaths of life into. We wish Kobi, his parents and grandparents a hearty Mazal Tov, as he now proudly carries this flame of tradition into the future, contributing his unique skills to the community, and by doing so nurturing the roots and tending to the tree planted all those years ago. That’s naches. Moshe Baruch’s memory is indeed a blessing.

Parashat Mishpatim in a NutshellExodus 21:1–24:18The name of the Parshah, "Mishpatim," means "Ordinances" and it is found in Exodus 21:1. Following the revelation at Sinai, G‑d legislates a series of laws for the people of Israel. These include the laws of the indentured servant; the penalties for murder, kidnapping, assault and theft; civil laws pertaining to redress of damages, the granting of loans and the responsibilities of the “Four Guardians”; and the rules governing the conduct of justice by courts of law. Also included are laws warning against mistreatment of foreigners; the observance of the seasonal festivals, and the agricultural gifts that are to be brought to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem; the prohibition against cooking meat with milk; and the mitzvah of prayer. Altogether, the Parshah of Mishpatim contains 53 mitzvot—23 imperative commandments and 30 prohibitions. G‑d promises to bring the people of Israel to the Holy Land, and warns them against assuming the pagan ways of its current inhabitants. The people of Israel proclaim, “We will do and we will hear all that G‑d commands us.” Leaving Aaron and Hur in charge in the Israelite camp, Moses ascends Mount Sinai and remains there for forty days and forty nights to receive the Torah from G‑d. © Copyright, all rights reserved.
