Tzedakah Today. A Better Tomorrow.


Dear Friends,

This year, the Melbourne Jewish Charity Fund (MJCF) will support over 700 Jewish families in our community. Over the last two years – and especially in recent months – we have learnt that now is the time to look inwards for support.

Now is the time to look after our own. Your donation today will bring relief, dignity, and hope to families struggling to make ends meet.

Please join us in making sure that no one in our community is left behind. Your gift today will help change tomorrow.

Property: Seeking rental

I'm a clean, quiet, and respectful guy looking for a room to rent in the "Bagel Belt" area - this could any area in the South-East area. I'm hoping to find a place for $200-$250 per week.

A bit about me: I work full-time in the banking and finance sector. I am very respectful of everyone's religious observance. While I'm not strongly religious myself, I enjoy attending events and celebrating religious holidays.

LAMPLIGHTER

ZICHRON YAAKOV


PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9
The name of the Parshah, "Shoftim," means "Judges" and it is found in Deuteronomy 16:18.

Moses instructs the people of Israel to appoint judges and law enforcement officers in every city. "Justice, justice shall you pursue," he commands them, and you must administer it without corruption or favoritism. Crimes must be meticulously investigated and evidence thoroughly examined—a minimum of two credible witnesses is required for conviction and punishment.

In every generation, says Moses, there will be those entrusted with the task of interpreting and applying the laws of the Torah. "According to the law that they will teach you, and the judgment they will instruct you, you shall do; you shall not turn away from the thing that they say to you, to the right nor to the left."

Shoftim also includes the prohibitions against idolatry and sorcery; laws governing the appointment and behavior of a king; and guidelines for the creation of "cities of refuge" for the inadvertent murderer. Also set forth are many of the rules of war: the exemption from battle for one who has just built a home, planted a vineyard, married, or is "afraid and soft-hearted"; the requirement to offer terms of peace before attacking a city; and the prohibition against wanton destruction of something of value, exemplified by the law that forbids to cut down a fruit tree when laying siege (in this context the Torah makes the famous statement, "For man is a tree of the field").

The Parshah concludes with the law of the eglah arufah—the special procedure to be followed when a person is killed by an unknown murderer and his body is found in a field—which underscores the responsibility of the community and its leaders not only for what they do, but also for what they might have prevented from being done.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Isaiah 51:12-52:12
This week's haftorah is the fourth of a series of seven "Haftarot of Consolation." These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b'Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah.

The haftorahs of the past two weeks open with Israel's complaint that they have been abandoned by G‑d. Israel is not content with consolations offered by the prophets — instead they demand that G‑d alone comfort them. In response, this week's haftorah begins with G‑d's response: "I, indeed I, will comfort you."

After briefly reprimanding Israel for forgetting their Creator for fear of human and finite oppressors, the prophet describes the suffering and tribulations which Israel has endured. However, the time has arrived for the suffering to end. The time has come for Israel's oppressors to drink the "cup of suffering" which they had hitherto forced Israel to drink: "Awaken, awaken, put on your strength, O Zion; put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem the Holy City, for no longer shall the uncircumcised or the unclean continue to enter you. Shake yourselves from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; free yourself of the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion."

Isaiah extols the beauty of the messenger who will announce the good tidings of Redemption. "Burst out in song, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the L-rd has consoled His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem."

The haftorah ends by highlighting the difference between the Egyptian Exodus, when the Israelites hurried out of their exile and bondage, and the future Redemption: "For not with haste shall you go forth and not in a flurry of flight shall you go, for the L-rd goes before you, and your rear guard is the G‑d of Israel."


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

When G‑d expands your boundaries, as He swore to your forefathers, and He gives you all the land of which He spoke to give to your forefathers . . . you shall add three more cities for yourself, in addition to these (19:8–9)

The Torah attests to the coming of Moshiach. . . . Also, regarding the "cities of refuge" it is written: "When G‑d expands your boundaries . . . you shall add three more cities." This never yet came to pass, and G‑d did not command it in vain.

(Mishneh Torah, Laws of Kings 11:1–2)
