The Akivaton A Monthly Publication by Bnei Akiva Detroit

West Bloomfield Shabbaton Tal Ershler - Rosh Manhigut On March 12th, we hosted our 3rd annual Shabbaton in West Bloomfield. The Shabbaton began with a Ruach filled Kabbalat Shabbat, where we sang and danced with the community. The theme for the Shabbaton was Chessed. We ran Peulot about Chessed and heard from a speaker during Seudat Shlishit. To conclude Shabbat we sang Havdalah with nursing home residents and Motzei Shabbat we enjoyed basketball and pizza. We are looking forward to the next Shabbaton in West Bloomfield!■

Zach Shabbaton Avi Greenbaum - Mazkir Galil

A few weeks ago, Bnei Akiva Detroit drove to Cleveland, Ohio to join many kids from all different cities across the Midwest. On Friday, we went to Force Sports which is a big, indoor-sports facility. The chanichim played soccer, as well as all kinds of other sports. We all enjoyed an incredible Shabbat, with lots of Ruach, learning, and inspiration. All of our children had a great time, and for most of them, it was their first Shabbaton with Bnei Akiva! We look forward to many more Shabbatonim with your children in the future!■

KMCB Shabbaton Asher Stein - Rosh Pirsum

A great song states: “Hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream in my cardigan.” Even though Alex, Tal, and I were not wearing cardigans; we landed in L.A. this past Thursday with high hopes for the upcoming KMCB Shabbaton. KMCB is a leadership training Shabbaton for future leaders of Bnei Akiva across the U.S. & Canada. Throughout the Shabbaton we learned valuable leadership skills and enjoyed the amazing weather, views, and environment of Los Angeles. The amazing Achdut we encountered with our peers from across the country and the many lessons we learned have us greatly anticipating the upcoming year of Bnei Akiva!■

Seniors’ Shabbaton Alter Klausner - Rosh Chevraya Alef

This past Shabbat 50 seniors from all around the region came together at Young Israel of Southfield for Bnei Akiva's Seniors’ Shabbaton. The theme of the Shabbaton was how to transition from high school to a year in Israel and onwards. StandWithUs, an Israel advocacy organization, spoke with the participants on facing antisemitism out in the world. Two Israeli soldiers spoke to us about the IDF's moral and humane tactics. We also heard from Esther Posner who spoke of her experiences in the Holocaust and how we can incorporate them into our futures. Overall it was an inspirational and fun Shabbat and an amazing way to end our Shabbaton careers.■

Dvar Torah Wendy Kelman - Mazkira Galil

In this week’s Parsha, Parshat Tazria, Hashem instructs Bnei Yisrael about what sacrifices a woman needs to bring in order to become Tahor, or pure, after childbirth. It reads: "Upon the completion ... of her purity ... she shall bring a sheep.... But if she cannot afford a sheep, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young doves ... and she shall become purified" (Lev. 12:6-8).

In this pasuk, we see that a woman can reach the same level of Tahara whether she brings a sheep or can only afford two doves. One may ask, how is this possible? Shouldn’t every woman be commanded to bring the same thing, and if not, shouldn’t the larger sacrifice yield a higher level of Tahara?

We can learn a valuable message from this question. Each person is obligated in accordance only within his abilities and receives an identical spiritual purification. Since Hashem is the only one who can provide spiritual atonement for one’s sins, He determines what can "cleanse" someone of their Tuma, impurity. When a woman offers the animal which she can afford a cleansing process occurs. If she offers less than she is able to give, it doesn't occur. The same lesson can be applied when performing Chessed. If someone is very wealthy and donates millions of dollars to charity, it is certainly a wonderful act. However, does someone who isn't able to donate as much receive the same merit? Just as the same spiritual Tahara takes place whether someone brings a sheep or a dove, so too does each person who strives to give according to his means receive an identical spiritual result.■
