Chabad of Baka, Building Campaign in Jerusalem

Dear Friends,

I am thinking of you and hope that this email finds you well. 

I want to share an exciting building project in Jerusalem, which is very personal and dear to my heart.

The community that I am a part of, Chabad of Baka~ Beit Levi, is entering the second building phase and needs help to reach the finish line.  


For 18 years, Chabad of Baka has been catering to the needs of new olim, Jerusalem residents, and travelers.


Adult Education, A Women's Circle, Children's Club and Camp, Events for Young Professionals, Daily Services and Classes, and the Friendship Circle of South Jerusalem- which lovingly supports and includes children with special needs and their families- are just a few of the multi-faceted programs that Chabad of Baka offers.


After 18 years of dedicated community service, Chabad of Baka's dream is no longer a blueprint—it is a building rising in Jerusalem. 

The walls are complete, the roof is up, and soon, the new Synagogue and Community Center will open its doors to a vibrant Jewish future.  With the skeleton of the building already done, the entire building should be completed by the end of 2026, if all the necessary funds are raised.


This is a short video of the magic and building progress at Chabad of Baka~ Beit Levi.

 

There is a unique opportunity to partner in this exciting project and to be part of setting the stones for a permanent center and synagogue for any resident, traveler, or tourist to return to again and again.


For a limited time, you can secure a seat in Chabad of Baka's Sanctuary or community hall. Each seat is a tangible commitment to the spiritual and communal continuity of Jerusalem.


Additionally, there is an opportunity to dedicate a brick/s or a table in Rabbi Kalmenson's Beit Midrash, a wing of the building that will be open for Torah learning throughout the day.

 

Join this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and invest in the greatest real estate in the world: your home- and every Jew's home- in Jerusalem!

 

Every donation will be DOUBLED by generous matchers over the next few days; donations are tax-deductible in the US, Canada, England, and Israel. 


May Hashem bless you bountifully for your kindness and generosity!

Tzetl: Vayeishev & Mevarchim Tevet

7:08pm - Early candle lighting
8:18pm - Candle Lighting, Friday
9:24pm - Havdalah, Saturday
(Melbourne Australia)
Eruv Status: TBA cosv.org.au/eruv/
Good Shabbos!


Laws and Customs
Bless New Month

This Shabbat is Shabbat Mevarchim ("the Shabbat that blesses" the new month): a special prayer is recited blessing the Rosh Chodesh ("Head of the Month") of upcoming month of Tevet, which falls on next Shabbat and the following Sunday.

Prior to the blessing, we announce the precise time of the molad, the "birth" of the new moon. See molad times.



PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Genesis 37:1–40:23
The name of the Parshah, "Vayeshev," means "And he dwelt" and it is found in Genesis 37:1.

Jacob settles in Hebron with his twelve sons. His favorite is seventeen-year-old Joseph, whose brothers are jealous of the preferential treatment he receives from his father, such as a precious many-colored coat that Jacob makes for Joseph. Joseph relates to his brothers two of his dreams which foretell that he is destined to rule over them, increasing their envy and hatred towards him.

Simeon and Levi plot to kill him, but Reuben suggests that they throw him into a pit instead, intending to come back later and save him. While Joseph is in the pit, Judah has him sold to a band of passing Ishmaelites. The brothers dip Joseph's special coat in the blood of a goat and show it to their father, leading him to believe that his most beloved son was devoured by a wild beast.

Judah marries and has three children. The eldest, Er, dies young and childless, and his wife, Tamar, is given in levirate marriage to the second son, Onan. Onan sins by spilling his seed, and he too meets an early death. Judah is reluctant to have his third son marry her. Determined to have a child from Judah's family, Tamar disguises herself as a prostitute and seduces Judah himself. Judah hears that his daughter-in-law has become pregnant and orders her executed for harlotry, but when Tamar produces some personal effects he left with her as a pledge for payment, he publicly admits that he is the father. Tamar gives birth to twin sons, Peretz (an ancestor of King David) and Zerach.

Joseph is taken to Egypt and sold to Potiphar, the minister in charge of Pharaoh's slaughterhouses. G‑d blesses everything he does, and soon he is made overseer of all his master's property. Potiphar's wife desires the handsome and charismatic lad; when Joseph rejects her advances, she tells her husband that the Hebrew slave tried to force himself on her, and has him thrown into prison. Joseph gains the trust and admiration of his jailers, who appoint him to a position of authority in the prison administration.

In prison, Joseph meets Pharaoh's chief butler and chief baker, both incarcerated for offending their royal master. Both have disturbing dreams, which Joseph interprets; in three days, he tells them, the butler will be released and the baker hanged. Joseph asks the butler to intercede on his behalf with Pharaoh. Joseph's predictions are fulfilled, but the butler forgets all about Joseph and does nothing for him.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Amos 2:6-3:8
This week's haftorah contains an allusion to the sale of Joseph by his brothers, an incident discussed in this week's Torah reading.

Amos opens with a rebuke to the Jewish People. G‑d had been patient with them notwithstanding their transgression of the three cardinal sins — sexual impropriety, idolatry and murder. Their fourth sin, however, crossed the line — the mistreatment of the innocent, widows, orphans and the poor.

G‑d reminds the Jewish people how He lovingly took them out of Egypt and led them through the desert for forty years and settled them in the Holy Land. There, He bestowed the gift of prophecy on some and inspired others to become Nazirites. Yet the Jewish people did not respond appropriately, giving wine to the Nazirites and instructing the prophets not to prophesy. Amos then goes on to describe G‑d's punishment for the errant behavior: "And the stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee naked on that day, says the L-rd."

The haftorah ends with an admonition from G‑d, one that also recalls His eternal love for His people: "Hearken to this word which the Lord spoke about you, O children of Israel, concerning the entire nation that I brought up from the land of Egypt. 'Only you did I love above all the families of the earth; therefore, I will visit upon you all your iniquities…'" As opposed to other nations to whom G‑d does not pay close attention, G‑d's love for His nation causes Him to punish them for their misdeeds, to cleanse them and prod them back onto the path of the just.


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" And she said: "Your signet, your cord, and your staff that is in your hand" (38:18)

A prophetic spirit was enkindled within her: "your signet" alludes to the royal house of David; "your cord" alludes to the Sanhedrin; "and your staff" alludes to the Messiah, as in the verse, "The staff of your strength will G‑d send out of Zion" (Psalms 110:2)—all of whom are the progeny of Judah and Tamar.

(Midrash Rabbah)
