4 Adar–Nisan-Iyar 5778
Dipping into Salt Water It was once said that: “Life is not what happens to you, it is how you perceive it”. There is much truth to this lesson and it can be found at our Seder Night tables. The original story takes place in the Torah immediately after the Jewish People have crossed the Red Sea. After the sea splits, the Torah mentions that the Children of Israel travelled three days into the desert and could
not find any water to drink and in classic style they started complaining. “They came to Marah, but they could not drink the waters of Marah because they (the waters) were bitter (ki marim hem); therefore they named it Marah.” (Shemot 15:23) Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk translates the words 'ki marim hem' (because they were bitter) as referring not to the waters, but to the people. Bitter people will find complaints about everything. What we believe and how we choose to see our situation in life will determine to a greater degree our experiences. Put simply: The attitude we bring to life equals our reality. To bitter people, everything is bitter. But the opposite can also be true. We are reminded of this fact each Seder Night when we customarily dip a bitter herb into salt water. Life at times can resemble the bitter herb. We don’t always get the life we had hoped for. We are not always so fortunate to lead a carefree existence where laughter and joy permeate every moment. That’s the Maror – the bitter herb. But what we do next will determine how we EXPERIENCE that herb, how we perceive our lives. Yes, on Seder Night, we dip it into salt water and taste the pain of slavery. But the lesson remains: our lives and how we experience them are in our hands to ‘dip’. Will we choose to see the cup as half empty or will we decide to celebrate what we indeed are blessed with! And on Seder Night we have four cups to keep choosing from! Our challenge is to see beyond the bitterness, and for people who aren't bitter everything is possible. How do we develop this attitude? By pausing, stopping and appreciating what it is that we have. This Pesach as we dip our herbs into salt water, let’s apply this lesson to our lives. We can gain clarity and serenity in even the most challenging circumstances. With the right outlook, even our challenges can become sweetened. From Sarah, Shira, Shmuel, Dvorah, Batsheva (she’s so cute, now 2 months old!) and myself, we wish you and your family a Chag Kasher V’Sameach – a Sweet and Joyful Pesach. Rabbi Mark Fishman

5 March – April 2018
From The Rabbi Emeritus The mounds of snow keep piling higher and higher, kept preserved by the bone chilling -20’ish C deep freeze which seems unending. Montreal in the winter! Does it get any better?
What keeps us going besides the layers of clothing we wear or the virtual hibernation many of us adopt? When winter seems unending, what fuels us to stay the course in anticipation of
better times yet to come? Even the most avid winter outdoors person will admit that weeks of dark, drab and sub-zero temp days can become most depressing and even foreboding.
For me it’s the vision of Pesach soon to be upon us. Snow, ice, cold be gone; Pesach officially commemorates the bringing of the Pascal lamb as a sign of independence from enslavement in Egypt. It is technically referred to in our prayers as Chag HaMatzot symbolizing the poor man’s bread eaten as they prepared for the exodus and for seven days thereafter as they left in haste. Its third name, Chag HaChairut not only celebrates Jewish Freedom Bayamim HaHaim (past)but also the continuing challenge to preserve freedom for all Bazman Hazeh(present).
But it is the fourth name of the Holiday… Chag HaAviv..the holiday of Springtime, that makes it all possible. Our ability to see springtime even in the dead of winter, creates for each of us the potential of new beginnings; the ability to make the impossible..possible; to forget the cruel cold winds of history that often tend to overwhelm us and creates new potential paths of co-existence and mutual respect for all humankind. In fact, crazy as it sounds, the truth is, Pesach is anytime!
To think spring time in the dead of winter requires a special quality. Consider the following scene:
A darkened room with four candles burning. As the flames flicker it appears as if they are speaking. Let us listen in.
The first says: ‘I am PEACE, however it appears that nobody can keep me lit. Time for me to go.’ And the flame slowly diminishes and then goes out completely.
The second one says: ‘ I am FAITH. It appears I am no longer indispensable, so it makes no sense for me to stay lit any longer.’ With that said, a slight breeze blew on it and it was gone.
The third candle then speaks in a halting sad tone: ‘I am LOVE. I no longer have the strength to stay lit. People so easily shunt me aside failing to realize my
-
6 Adar–Nisan-Iyar 5778
importance. They even forget those who are nearest to them.’ And waiting no longer, it goes out.
Suddenly a child enters the room and sees three candles no longer burning. With tears flowing, he cries out: ‘Why are these three no longer burning? Is there not something we can do to make a difference? ’
Says the fourth candle: ‘Don’t be afraid. While I am still burning we can re-light the other candles and chase away the darkness. You see, I am the candle of HOPE!’
We open the Pesach Seder with the child asking ‘Ma Nishtana’ –What is different with the Jewish People that has enabled us to continue with our Seder of history. The answer, delivered by affirmative Jewish action, is loud and clear: Despite the severity of the challenge we have HOPE that LOVE will overcome hate; that the genuine pursuit of PEACE will restore our FAITH in the basic goodness of all people.
I know it sounds like wishful thinking but as springtime does always follow the darkest of winters, as long as there is HOPE, we know that the other lights will eventually shine through the darkness.
Pesach restores that Hope in a better future. We have Maror tempered with sweet Charoset; Matza, the symbol of slavery broken into pieces; wine, the symbol of joy and celebration, repeated again and again; and the famous phrase—LeShana Ha’Ba B’Yerushalayim, in the dark winter of Jewish History , a mere HOPE given lip service, transformed especially this year, into a worldwide declaration of affirmation restoring our FAITH that LOVE in pursuit of PEACE will take hold in Jerusalem setting the tone for all of humankind.
Are we not BETH TIKVAH..the House of HOPE… With our collective efforts, we can kindle anew and as well strengthen existing sources of Jewish light and enlightenment. And so, live each day with a ’shtikel’ Pesach, a resolute attitude of hope and trust in our ability to make a difference for good.
Use Pesach and the Seder experience to strengthen the resolve that Am Yisrael Chai VeKayom -- all because of me and my family and our HOPES for a meaningful future. My HOPE—Join the CBT MeTo movement for a Jewish future! That is the TIKVAH way!
Charlotte and I and our extended family wish each of you and your families a Chag Kasher VeSameach.
Dr. Mordecai E. Zeitz, Rabbi Emeritus

7 March – April 2018
As I near the end of my 2-year mandate as President, the experience I had was not less than incredible. The people I met, the friendships I made and the personal feeling of accomplishment I experienced are priceless. I can honestly say I feel more connected to CBTASNH than I ever have in the 35 years I have been a member.
Looking back since assuming the Presidency after Marty Levitt, who as well accomplished so much during his two years, many things have happened. It all started from our
incredible board, recruited by our nominating committee led by VP Jamie Goren. It is a strong and vibrant board with a mix of male and female members, and new young aggressive thinkers.
I am confident that this new board, with the support of all volunteers, will pave the way to a better future for all of us at CBTASNH. They have already started this with the creation of the following, just to name a few:
- A revived and dynamic Hebrew Academy Afternoon School.
- The creation of a new membership committee that has been working
behind the scenes.
- A new social and marketing committee, that have already brought in
music and many guest speakers, for everyone’s enjoyment.
- A strong Finance Committee led by Willy Waks and Bill Hurwitz.
- A newly created HR committee consisting of 6 people including myself.
- A new young Adult committee to look at ways to engage this
demographic.
- The appointment of Viki Zerdok as Youth and Programming Director.
There will be much more as we continue on the path of the recommendations made by the strategic planning committee. I am confident that with the leadership of our dynamic Rabbi Fishman, we will flourish!
From our family to yours, we wish you a happy Pesach and wonderful Spring.
Johnny Mestel, President CBTASNH

We have been very busy at Hebrew Academy! Jewish Book month
ended with an amazing visit from the Jewish Public Library
representative who brought in some rare books. It was interesting to
see an old megillah scroll and other old books. The Mechina
and Kitah Alef classes even had a chance to try their hands
at making their own
books which they
loved doing!
Ori and Eden taught the children a shakshuka dance and
then taught them how to make this famous Israeli dish.
Everyone loved chopping up the veggies and trying
shakshuka with bread. Delicious! Some even got to take some samples home. They have
also been learning about BeerSheva and other places in Israel, and then completing
interesting projects. Every class enjoys seeing Eden and Ori every week!
December was filled with Chanukah spirit. We participated in
a Chanukah Gift Drive for Ometz. For this wonderful mitzvah
the children brought in new toys and were able to allocate
their own gift to a child in need. They made that child a card
and even wrapped the gifts themselves. We had an amazing
Chanukah play led by our kitah Vav class, and each class had a
chance to entertain their families with songs and skits. We
followed our skit with a great party and of course some Chanukah food!
Kitah Hay students enjoyed two sessions of their Jewish Journey. Rabbi Fishman led
parents and students in parts 1 and 2 of our Jewish Lifecycle.
In January we celebrated Tu Bishvat with a Seder led by Ori &
Eden and we had a chance to taste many different fruits from
the trees. Some made grass head buddies!
We are looking forward to celebrating Kabbalat Shabbat on a Wednesday with our
Kittah Gimel and Daled classes.

20 Adar–Nisan-Iyar 5778
YEHOSHUA FRIEDBERG Z”L
Twenty-five years ago, an IDF platoon soldier, a friend and a future leader of the Jewish nation was taken from us, brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists. Yehoshua was a young man who was engaged to be married and would have certainly made a difference in this world, had his life not been cut short.
Yehoshua Friedberg was born in Montreal and did just about everything right in his life. Besides being a basketball legend, he excelled scholastically and was a proud and observant Jew who always left an impression on anyone he spoke to.
Yehoshua was the embodiment of true Zionism. He left the comfort of a safe North American city with a sizeable and influential Jewish community so that he could contribute to the defense and development of the Jewish state. He continued his education in an Institution of Jewish education (Yeshiva Machon Meir) and completed his university degree in Economics to round out his education. He then enlisted in the IDF, prepared to defend our Jewish state and its people, not because he had to, simply because he was one of them.
Yehoshua had every reason to stay put in Montreal, but he was not one to run away from responsibility and what was simply, the right thing to do. In 1991, when Jews were leaving Israel due to the missiles that were being fired, THAT is when Yehoshua made Aliyah and connected his fate with Israel. Yehoshua was interviewed on Israeli TV and the host asked him why he made Aliyah. Yehoshua stared back at the host with a look that said, “I don’t even understand your question”. The host then changed the question and asked, ‘why would you make Aliyah when Israel is being bombarded with missiles?’ Yehoshua, without missing a beat said, ‘when your house is burning, you don’t run away, you run towards your home and help save it.’ This is who Yehoshua was. Yehoshua was a modest and quiet type and was known as one of the best soldiers in his unit and no job was too big for him due to his strong and modest traits. He was chosen and was sent to IDF Officer training. On route he disappeared and a massive search ensued. After a few days, they found Yehoshua…but he was lifeless. He was murdered by terrorists and thrown off the side of the road. Thousands of people from all walks of life came to pay their respects to Yehoshua. On the 25
th anniversary, Jason is remembered, honoured and remains loved by those
who knew him and with this memorial we introduce him to those who never had the privilege. May his memory continue to be a source of inspiration to all. Tehai Nishmato Baruch.

Des chercheurs qui trouvent
Je pense pouvoir m’estimer chanceux qu’en tant
qu’employé de l’état, dans le milieu académique, j’ai
droit, comme la plupart des professeurs, à une année
sabbatique tous les sept ans. Depuis janvier, je profite de
cette opportunité pour me ressourcer. N’allez pas
imaginer que je suis en vacances. En pratique, cela
signifie que mon université me libère de mes tâches
d’enseignement pour que je puisse me consacrer
entièrement à ma recherche. L’origine de cette pratique, vous l’aurez deviné grâce au mot
‘sabbatique’, est liée à la Torah, plus spécifiquement à la notion de chemita dont je vous
propose d’étudier quelques aspects.
Les parachiot Michpatim et Béhar traitent toutes les deux de la mitsva de la chemita qui
consiste, en Eretz Israël, à laisser la terre se reposer une fois tous les sept ans, c'est-à-dire
qu'il est interdit d'y effectuer les travaux agricoles. L’interdiction commence à Roch
Hachana de l'année en question et se termine le dernier jour de l'année à la tombée de la
nuit. Les travaux suivants sont interdits : disperser, arroser, couper des branches, élaguer,
semer, vendanger, récolter, planter, et labourer. Ces interdictions concernent autant un
juif que son employé non-juif. Notons cependant que la mitsva de la chemita est liée à la
terre et au peuple juif, ce qui signifie que de nos jours, où les douze tributs d’Israël ne
sont pas encore présentes en Eretz, d’après la majorité des décisionnaires, la chemita
n’est plus un commandement deOraita, de la Torah, mais un commandement déRabanan,
maintenu par les Sages afin de ne pas oublier comment pratiquer cette mitsva. Par
conséquent, de nombreuses décisions rabbiniques ne seront pas appliquées de manière
contraignante.
Durant l'année de la chemita, les produits de la terre sont investis d'une sainteté, d’une
quedoucha, qui nous oblige à les traiter et à les utiliser d'une façon particulière.
Cela concerne les fruits, les légumes, les céréales, les épices et toutes les graines qui
peuvent être consommés par l'homme ou par l'animal. Il est ainsi interdit de les abîmer ou
de les jeter, de les commercialiser, d'en faire consommer à un non-juif, de les donner à un
animal s'ils sont encore consommables, et de les faire sortir d'Erets Israël. D'après
certains décisionnaires, il faut inclure également certaines fleurs et plantes d'intérieur que
l'on utilise par exemple pour leur parfum.
Ce n'est pas obligatoirement le moment de la récolte qui définit l'appartenance à l'année
de la chemina. Nos Sages nous ont transmis dans le Talmud (Roch Hachait 13b) des dates
et des périodes bien précises pour chaque catégorie de produit de la terre. Pour les arbres,
c'est le moment du bourgeonnement qui déterminera l'année des fruits. Pour les légumes
c'est le moment de la cueillette effective qui en déterminera l'année. Pour les céréales et
autres grains, c'est le moment où ils ont atteint le tiers de leur volume final. Les olives et

les raisins ont un statut spécial : ce n'est pas le bourgeonnement qui sera déterminant dans
leur cas, mais le tiers du développement ou du mûrissement.
Notons que les lois de la chemita prouvent, d’une certaine
manière, l’origine divine de la Torah. En effet, les lois de la
chemita paraissent totalement irrationnelles. Pourquoi un être
humain inventerait-il une loi aussi dénuée de sens? Cela
revient à ordonner aux habitants d’Israël de mourir de faim
tous les sept ans. Et pourtant l’Auteur de la Torah va plus
loin en écrivant que lorsque le peuple apprendra ces lois, il
sera inquiet et tourmenté. Il demandera : comment survivrons-nous pendant la septième
année? C’est pourquoi Hachem nous donne une garantie. Il promet que la sixième année
bénéficiera d’une bénédiction particulière produisant ainsi une récolte double qui
pourvoira à la fois aux besoins de la sixième et de la septième année. Un être humain
n’est bien entendu pas capable de tenir une telle promesse. Et si une sixième année devait
ne pas apporter sa double récolte, le peuple se rendrait compte qu’il s’agit d’un mensonge
et penserait que la Torah a été donnée par un être humain et non par Dieu. Mais si un être
humain était l’auteur de la Torah, pourquoi introduirait-t-il une loi susceptible de réduire
à néant son système de religion? Pourquoi prendrait-il le risque de s’exposer au
mensonge et à l’absurdité? En conclusion, seul Hachem peut être l’auteur des lois de la
chemita.
Outre le fait de représenter une occasion pour le peuple juif de placer sa foi en Hachem et
de voir Ses bénédictions se réaliser, le fait de les empêcher pendant une année entière de
toucher à la terre, leur offrait la possibilité de se libérer de leurs activités quotidiennes et
de se concentrer sur des sujets d’ordre spirituel. C’était en ainsi l’occasion de remplir les
synagogues et les maisons d’étude.
Aujourd’hui encore alors que la majorité des juifs ne sont pas directement concernés par
les travaux de la terre, les enseignements de la chemita restent cependant très poignants.
Durant toute cette année sainte nous sommes censés nous concentrer davantage sur la
mission que nous devons accomplir, et ralentir le rythme de nos occupations matérielles.
Réfléchir plus à ce que nous sommes tenus de faire et moins à ce qui nous semble
nécessaire. L’année de la chemita nous apprend à davantage compter sur Hachem et
moins sur nos propres aptitudes.
Et les chercheurs ne font pas exception. S’il y a un peu de vrai dans la phrase attribuée à
de Gaulle, qui aurait dit que des chercheurs qui cherchent, on en trouve, mais des
chercheurs qui trouvent, on en cherche, il n’en reste pas moins que pour trouver, un
chercheur fait appel à son intuition, et celle-ci est plus réceptive en période sabbatique.
