HALAKHIC CORNER – L’David HaShem
In Mishnah Berurah (O”C 581/1), Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan mentions the custom to recite Psalm 27 during the month of Elul. The Midrash Shocher Tov explains why this chapter is specifically selected. The Midrash comments that King David, the author of this Psalm, chose to include the word “ori” (light) to subtly reference the unique holy light of Rosh HaShanah. Additionally, the word “yishi” meaning salvation is a reference to the repentance and salvation achieved on Yom Kippur. Finally, the word “suko” meaning G-d's Sukkah, is a reference to the holiday of Sukkot. Yet another reason that this chapter was selected is because G-d's name appears 13 times in the chapter, corresponding to Hashem's 13 attributes of kindness. Chapter 27 is so meaningful that Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai (commonly known as the Chida) one of the great Sephardic Rabbis of the 18th century, comments that it is praiseworthy to recite this chapter of Tehilim every day of the year. Interestingly, the Gra is quoted in Ma'aseh HaRav of having the practice not to recite this additional perek of Tehilim because such a custom is not mentioned in the Shulchan Aruch or in the Kabbalistic writings of the Arizal. There are numerous Chassidic sects which report that their Chassidic masters did not recite this chapter. Nonetheless, the Mishnah Berurah records that the accepted Minhag is to recite L'David Hashem after both Shacharit and Maariv up to and including Shemini Atzeret.
YICC’S KIDDUSH CO-SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM Kiddush co-sponsorships at $200 each help our Shul cover the expense of those Shabbatot without a main sponsor and are a nice way to commemorate or celebrate an occasion.
We encourage you to consider this option
Our program is supported this week by: • Neal & Fay Shapiro in memory of Neal’s father,
Irwin Shapiro, Z”L • Marty & Evey Pollack, in memory of Evey’s mother,
Irene Katz, Z”L

TREE OF LIFE YICC’s Tree of Life is located on the 2nd fl near our Youth Rooms. One way to commemorate a Simcha is to dedicate a leaf engraved with the date and Simcha on our Shul’s Tree of Life. Whether it be a Birth, Bar/Bat-
Mitzvah, Wedding or Anniversary, our Shul’s Tree of Life is the perfect way to permanently celebrate your Simcha.
Many of our members have leaves on our Tree that were dedicated in their honor. It would be so nice to dedicate new leaves to honor new celebrations: marriages, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, babies…!
The latest leaves on our Tree are dedicated in honor of the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs of Ethan & Sarina Frankel.
The cost of a Leaf is $180. For more information please contact
the Shul Office at 310-273-6954 /[email protected]
