Camp Kanfei looking for help this Shabbos...

Dear Melbourne Jewish Community Members,

Next Shabbat, "Shabbat Chazon" a coed group of American and Israeli teens are coming to spend Shabbat in our community as part of a teen travel program to New Zealand and Australia known as Kanfei. The kids are all modern orthodox Yeshiva High school kids. Included among them are a number of campers from Israel who lost family members fighting for Am Yisrael since October 7th. 
The goal of spending Shabbat in Melbourne is to connect the participants with local families so they could learn about and experience the Jewish community in Australia. 

They will be arriving Thursday evening July 31, after dinner at approximately 9:30 pm, and will be leaving Sunday morning (Tisha B'Av) , August 3rd at around 10:00 am. All the meals will be eaten at Mizrachi Synagogue except for Friday night dinner which they will eat with their billets (if possible) to allow them to connect with local families. The kids have programming Frida and Shabbos which will take place at Mizrachi synagogue. 

Please let us know if you would be interested in hosting either male or female participants of the program. We are still looking for a number of homes. The kids are friendly and full of life and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

For more information or to offer to billet please contact:
Rabbi Scheinfeld 1-201-362-0310 or campkanfei@gmail.com

Shabbos Tzetl: Matot-Massei, חזק & Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av

5:09pm - Candle Lighting, Friday
6:10pm - Havdalah, Saturday
(Melbourne Australia)
Eruv Status: TBA cosv.org.au/eruv/
Good Shabbos!


Today is Rosh Chodesh--"Head of the Month"--for the Hebrew month of "Av" (also called "Menachem Av").

Special portions are added to the daily prayers: Hallel (Psalms 113-118) is recited -- in its "partial" form -- following the Shacharit morning prayer, and the Yaaleh V'yavo prayer is added to the Amidah and to Grace After Meals; the additional Musaf prayer is said (when Rosh Chodesh is Shabbat, special additions are made to the Shabbat Musaf). Tachnun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted.


Please click here to view the Yeshivah Shule Tzetel for Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, Shabbos Chazak, Parshas Matos Masei. Please click here to view the PDFs of Weekly Publications.




PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Numbers 30:2–36:13
The name of the Parshah, "Matot," means "Tribes," and it is found in Numbers 30:2. The name of the Parshah, "Masei," means "Journeys," and it is found in Numbers 33:1.

Moses conveys the laws governing the annulment of vows to the heads of the tribes of Israel. War is waged against Midian for their role in plotting the moral destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the Levites and the high priest.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of Manasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel's conquest of the lands west of the Jordan.

The forty-two journeys and encampments of Israel are listed, from the Exodus to their encampment on the plains of Moab across the river from the land of Canaan. The boundaries of the Promised Land are given, and cities of refuge are designated as havens and places of exile for inadvertent murderers. The daughters of Tzelafchad marry within their own tribe of Manasseh, so that the estate which they inherit from their father should not pass to the province of another tribe.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Av: Jeremiah 2:4-28; Jeremiah 4:1-2; Isaiah 66:1; Isaiah 66:23-24; Isaiah 66:23

This week's haftorah is the second of a series of three "haftarot of affliction." These three haftarot are read during the Three Weeks of mourning for Jerusalem, between the fasts of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av.

The prophet Jeremiah transmits G‑d's message to the Jewish people, in strong tones chastising all the sectors of the people, including the leadership, for their abandonment of G‑d. "What wrong did your forefathers find in Me, that they distanced themselves from Me, and they went after futility and themselves became futile?" He reminds them of the kindness G‑d did for them, taking them out of Egypt and leading them through the desert and settling them in the Promised Land, yet they repaid kindness with disloyalty. "For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the spring of living waters, [and furthermore, this was in order] to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water."

G‑d asks them to view the actions of their neighboring nations, the Kittites and Kedarites, "and see whether there was any such thing, whether a nation exchanged a god, although they are not gods. Yet My nation exchanged their glory for what does not avail."

Jeremiah then goes on to foretell the suffering the Jewish people will suffer at the hands of their enemies, and also their erstwhile allies: "Your evil will chastise you, and you will be rebuked for your backslidings; and you shall know and see that your forsaking the L‑rd your G‑d is evil and bitter."

The haftorah ends on an encouraging note, assuring the people that if they return to G‑d with sincerity, they will be restored to their full glory.


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

According to all that proceeds out of his mouth shall he do (30:3)

Better that you not vow, than that you should vow and not fulfill.

(Ecclesiastes 5:4)
