After the responce to Ask A Rabbi Responce Ref No 5585001


On 3/4/2022 Wrote to Chabad Ask A Rabbi:

I remembering something about the Torah learning I just need to share-year ago-I beleive it was in Irving Howe's "Tales of Our fathers" about Jewish Immigrents to the United states..that the men had to go to work in sweatshops and factories to support themsleves and familes..yet they were so dedicated to Torah learning they would hire a man to sing the phrases of the Torah while they worked, so their hearts and Minds would be dedicated to the Torah....

3/7/2022 Received a responce:
B"H

Wow!That level of commitment is inspiring and certainly sets a high bar for us to aspire towards....
All the Best

  In regard toa Jewish persons actions...
Posted by: LAsttime - 03-03-2022, 10:41 PM - Forum: Judaism General - Replies (4)

on 1 MArch 2022 I sent the following query to ASk A Rabbi Aish Torah.com
When a Jewish Person does any action at all-does it reflect not just on himself, but also on all Jews everywhere and the L-D as well?
Two examples:
Would a good example be if a Jewish person on learning that a community of galat Jews are in physical danger yet refuse to leave--he prays that the L-D give the community in danger the understanding that they must flee galat and Go up to israel to live as Jews?
Would a bad example be if a Jewish person does cold cruel action on another Jewish person and refusing to show either remorse or repentence brings shame not only to himself but also to Jews everywhere to the notice of the L-D?

Wh
On 2 March 2022 I received an answear:

Dear

Thank you for reaching out to us. This is a very astute and complex question you raise. We do believe that all Jews are responsible for one another and are connected to the point that one's actions do reflect on the community and people on the whole, both for good and bad. Just as a family member can bring honor or shame to their family through their actions, soo to with the Jewish people. That being said, it is important that when transferring judgement from an individual to the community as a whole, that does not become an excuse or free pass to judge others in a certain way.
The bottom line is that we should always strive to judge individuals and communities with positivity and the benefit of the doubt.

With blessings from Jerusalem,

Examples of a Persons choices so they can be read and reflected on the consequences of their actions:
Dec 7, 1938 Ben Gurion in the aftermath of Krystilnight Pogram {England offer to accept 10,000 Jewish Children in Germany to England]
If I knew it was possible to save all the children in Germany by taking them to England, and only half of the children by taking them to Eretz Israel, I would choose the second solution. For we must take into account not only the lives of these children but also the history of the people of Israel."

I wanted to share something I read in reference to this weeks parsha, specifically, from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, zt"l, (from the book Exodus: The Book of Redemption).

In one of his essays related to the parsha, he talks about nation building. He reference in Exodus Chapter 1 how in the first description of the Israelites as a nation, Pharaoh calls them an "am". a people. Rabbi Soloveitchik points out am is a community of fate, not faith. For later the Torah uses the word "edah" and that am shares a past and edah shares a future.

The people who Moses leads lack the moral maturity to become a free nation. At just about every stage they complain which can be that of a slave mentality. They are not yet a people of faith, trusting in G-d. They cannot see beyond the present even though they witnessed some of G-d's greatest miracles.

Then came the revelation at Sinai and yet a mere 40 days later they made the golden calf. What more needed to happen to transform them into a cohesive group with a sense of identity and mission?

It's at this point, at the beginning of this weeks parsha that Moses commands the people to construct the Tabernacle. It's as if G-d said - If you want to create a group with a sense of collective identity, get them to build something together.

It is not what happens to us, but what we do that gives us identity and responsibility.

What transformed the Israelite's is not what G-d did for them, but what they did for G-d.

Until the building of the Tabernacle, the story of the Israelite's is a sequence of events in which G-d acted for the people. He liberated them, divided the sea for them, gave them water from a rock and food from heaven. During all that time they quarreled and complained.

Yet during the construction of the Tabernacle, there were no quarrels, no complaints. The people gave their wealth, their time and their skills. Actually, they gave so much that Moses had to issue an order that they should stop.

This is behavior we have not seen before. The Israelite's were indeed transformed - not by a miracle, but by their own efforts,

What we do changes us, not what is done for us.
