WEEKLY BULLETIN

Dear Members & Guests,

Being on the Living Legacy this past week, a trip that gives one firsthand

exposure to the atrocities of the Holocaust, has created within me a whirlwind

of emotions. I, together with 140 others, (including our own STC family

members Michael Brandt, Rachel Goldberg, Stephanie and Elliot Marer, and

Shawna and Jonathan Samuel) have experienced some deeply profound

lows, as well as some moments of the miraculous feeling of victory. We all

look forward to sharing with you when we return.

As we get ready to bring in Shabbos in Cracow and make the bricks streets

echo with the melodies of Kabbalat Shabbat, I struggle with the fact that

tomorrow we will be reading the tochacha (the rebuke) section of the Torah in

shul. This portion details the list of tragedies which will befall the Jewish

people if we don't follow the right paths, tragedies beyond imagination, yet

ones that sadly are woven into the fabric of our Jewish story. I always wonder

how to reconcile the vast spectrum of these moments and how one finds the

strength to move on.

However, the reality is that all we have to do is wait until the conclusion of the

parsha when everyone stands and says in unison: "Chazak, chazak,

v'nitchazek"- be strong...and be strong again, and together, as one we will

strengthen each other.

Shabbat Shalom from Cracow,

Rabbi Lipner
