Schedule for the Weekend

I am very excited for the opportunity to share words of Torah with you. Each week, in this spot, I look to share an idea I've found that speaks to me and that I think will resonate with you as well. This week, I share with you an excerpt of an article by Rabbi Stephen Baars entitled "Wisdom is a Verb" about the importance of listening to others.

[...] Yehuda quite possibly reaches the bottom of the barrel in embarrassing moments [...] realizing "she is more righteous than me." (Yehuda's words, Genesis 39:27). Yehuda didn't have to admit his guilt. It was quite clear from Tamar's remarks that she was not going to publicly name him. But Yehuda knew he had to learn from her, because, as Ben Zoma points out [Pirkei Avot 4:1], it is so much better to learn from your mistakes than to keep repeating them.

If the world produced people who never sinned, that would make a nice change. But as King Solomon (Koheles 7:20) pointed out, "There is no one in the world who does not sin." In the world we have, not making mistakes is not an option, but learning from your mistakes is. Rare as it may be.

Rare, but not difficult. We actually live this way in the area of health. When it comes to an infection, malady, sore, rash or any number of bothersome complaints, we will listen to just about anyone. When it comes to health, we are naturally wise. Therefore, be wise when it comes to life.

It is no accident therefore, that from Yehuda come the kings of Israel. "Learn from all men" means, don't let your insecurities stop you from listening. Wisdom is more important than that. The key is not how much you know but how much you desire to know. [...]

Why are we wise in health and fools in business? There is even an expression just designed for when you give business advice: "Mind your own business!" Unfortunately, it's an expression used in parenting too. Wouldn't your business do better, and maybe even your children, if we listened to other's as much as we do in health. When it comes to health, getting a regular check-up is the norm, don't your parenting skills need the same? [...]

Hoping and praying for a Shabbat Shalom in every sense of the term,
Rabbi Davies

Farewell Message from Mike & Elyse Krug
With 45 years of wonderful Cherry Hill memories, raising our family & working to grow the community, Elyse & I have decided it is time to migrate south to our Boynton Beach home.  A highlight of our time in Cherry Hill was working closely with Rabbi Rothman to start Politz & developing a close friendship. We are proud to have been able to see Cherry Hill West grow from a one shul town to at least four regular minyan locations, Politz, FTI, expansion of the Eruv & the current leadership of Rabbis Davies, Bienenfeld, Max & Davidowitz.  Please reach out to us if you travel to South Florida. Our email & phone numbers are the same.
