When Yaakov sends Yosef to Shchem to see the "peace"
of his brothers, we cannot help but think about what was going
through Yosef's mind. One part of him must have been very negative
about seeing them, knowing that they hated him. The other part,
however, may have been more upbeat. Rav Bunim of Pshischa zt"l
explains that Yosef was challenged by his father to seek the
"peace", meaning "the good", of his brothers. According to this
opinion, Yaakov wanted Yosef to look at his brothers differently,
in a more positive light. Rav Bunim suggests that Yaakov was
encouraging Yosef to look at the strengths and positive elements of
his brothers and not their weaknesses which caused them to hate
him. This is a lesson that has a very practical application. We
are challenged regularly to look at the positive qualities of
people and to allow these qualities to help us overlook their
negative traits. This may be very difficult especially when we
interact with individuals whose negative traits outweigh the
positive. Furthermore, when dealing with people, we should strive
to look at them from a different and fresh perspective, especially
if we have had negative experiences in the past.
Good Shabbos!
-Last night a new cycle of Mishna Berura Yomi began.
Through the learning of Mishna Berura for 15 minutes each day, one
can complete the entire Mishna Berura in 5 years. You can sign up
and have an email sent to you each day with an explanation of that
day's learning. This is a wonderful Torah learning
opportunity.

November
is Kiddush Society Month!
For
the past few years, the entire shul community has enjoyed regular
kiddushim and Seudah Shlishit, thanks to the members of the Kiddush
Society whose $100 yearly contribution ensures that we have more
than potato chips and pretzels for Kiddush and Seudah Shlishit.
So, whether you typically attend the Hashkoma, Downstairs, or Beit
Midrash minyan, we encourage all of you to join the many families
who are already members of the Kiddush Society. For a suggested
contribution of $100 per family per year, you too, can be a
member!
Remember,
it is because of the generosity of the Kiddush Society members that
the shul is able to provide a welcoming Kiddush for each of our
minyamin even when there are no specific sponsors for that week.
If you enjoy coming to your minyan's Kiddush, we ask that you
contribute to what works out to just $2 per week for your entire
family. And, of course, membership entitles you to sponsor a
Kiddush or Seudah Shlishit for that special occasion.
Current
members will be automatically renewed and billed for the upcoming
year. **If you would like to opt out, please contact the shul
office.**
