DVAR TORAH

         

 

"AND THE EARTH WAS DESOLATE AND VOID, AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE WATERS... AND THE ALMIGHTY SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT AND THERE WAS LIGHT." (Braishis 1:2, 3)

     The Chofetz Chayim used to say that these verses at the beginning of the Torah serve as a tremendous inspiration in times of darkness. At the beginning of creation, the world was completely dark without even the faintest hint of any light. One cannot chase away darkness with sticks and axes. But kindle just one small candle and the darkness is gone.

When the entire world is in total darkness, one statement of the Almighty, "Let there be light" is sufficient to light up the world. This idea is taught to young children as soon as they begin studying Torah.   Two years ago, the forces of darkness enveloped Eretz Yisroel.  Since the Holocaust our nation has not experienced such devastation and brutality.  It was a time of total darkness.  Then Hasham shined his light upon us and Klal Yisroel joined together in unprecedented unity to help each other. In one instant, Hashem took a broken and divided Eretz Yisroel and united it. We asked Hashem with our tehillim to continue to say, “ Let there be Light both on a national level and on an individual level”.   Baruch Hashem, today we have our hostages back and Klal Yisroel is experiencing ample light.

     In addition, this week is the nineth yahrzeit of our beloved founding Rabbi, Rabbi David S. Halpern A”H.   Over 60 years ago Rabbi Halpern came to Mill Basin a place devoid of Yidishkeit. In fact, Mill Basin was barely developed. Spiritually it was a dark place missing holiness and a connection to Hashem. There was much work to be done. Rabbi Halpern shined his spiritual light and made it his life mission to build this wasteland and convert it to a beacon of spirituality. Today hundreds of beautiful families in the neighborhood are enjoying the benefits of Rabbi Halpern's blood sweat and tears that he invested in our community. This week we remember our great Rabbi. May Rabbi Halpern continue to be a good advocator up in heaven on our behalf.  We wish Rabanit Halpern, who was his lifelong partner, many long and happy years with her beautiful family.

Have a Shabbat Shalom!
