PRESIDENT’S LETTER ✍A MESSAGE FROM RABBI NAFTALI CITRON
Winter 2017/5777 - 3
A Rabbi’s Reflections on the Jerusalem Exhibit
rested at the Temple site will never leave”.
Another saying that was codified by Mai-
monides is “The temple was sanctified in its
time and sanctified for the future”. One way
of understanding this is that by the time they
rebuilt the second Temple with the conquest
of Ezra the relationship with Jerusalem and the
site of the Temple was solidified as permanent.
This relationship with Jerusalem wasn’t about
how many Jews lived there but about a intense
yearning to go back and worship G-d in his
holy city. If anything the lack of power to live
freely in Jerusalem contributed to the longing
to return to Zion. On the other side of the coin
is the concept of “the mini temple in Baby-
lonia.” While the Sanhedrin, the formal seat
of law, and eventually the house of the Nasi
or the Gaon (Jewish leader) were considered
the new home for the Divine presence, the
rabbis impressed upon us that our houses
of prayer and study outside of Israel derived
their sanctity from the Temple in Jerusalem.
Prayer: when to pray, in what direction to pray,
and what to pray about, was grounded in the
service of the Temple. In fact, the yearning
for a return to Jerusalem is a dominant theme
in the Shemoneh Esrei repeated Three times
daily, where six of the nineteen blessings
focus on the redemption and a return to Zion
and the Temple. This theme runs through the
recitation of the Kedusha prayer — where we
say Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh—in the blessing
before the Shema, continues into the Kedusha
of the Amidah and finishes in the “Uva l’tzion”
prayer. These are references to a Heavenly Je-
rusalem, the celestial embodiment of a Divine
Throne dwelling on its Cherubim paralleling the
earthly Temple, as described by the prophets
Isaiah and Ezekiel. In addition to prayer the
Talmud tells us that after the destruction of the
temple “The Divine presence only rests in the
confines, 4 cubits, of the Halacha (Jewish Law).
The Divine presence that could be perceived in
a physical space now is able to become part of
the learning of the “practice” of Torah. So while
we don’t have the actual Temple Torah study
and prayer are in the place of the Temple.
Christianity and JerusalemJerusalem fell into the hands of Rome when
the Romans destroyed the second Temple in
the year 70 CE, but it wasn’t until the emperor
The other day I went with a group of people
from the Carlebach Shul to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art to view the exhibit “Jerusalem
1000-1400, Every People under Heaven, While
most people think of that period as one of
ongoing conflict between the Crusaders and
various Muslim caliphs, the exhibit has a differ-
ent emphasis.
Here is how the exhibit overview starts: “Begin-
ning around the year 1000, Jerusalem attained
unprecedented significance as a location,
destination, and symbol to people of diverse
faiths from Iceland to India. Multiple competi-
tive and complementary religious traditions, fu-
eled by an almost universal preoccupation with
the city, gave rise to one of the most creative
periods in history”.
Let’s explore how Judaism views Jerusalem
in its time of destruction and look into how
Christianity & Islam relate to Jerusalem.
Jerusalem in its destructionMost of the Jewish thinkers of that time felt
that the sanctity of Jerusalem would endure
permanently and merge into the future Temple.
As one sage put it “The Divine presence that continued on page 9

8 - The Carlebach Shul
COME LET’S SING
Reb Shlomo’s 22nd Yahrzeit, November 18th-19th. Reb Shlomo’s melodies have defined Jewish music for the last fifty years.
T This year, along with many communities throughout the world, The Carlebach Shul remembered Reb Shlomo on his Yahrzeit. On Wednesday night November 16th, Neshama Carlebach paid tribute to her father in song, story, and with a standing–room only audience at the Shul. Neshama brought to the stage a number of guest performers that enhanced the evening.
On Friday night the Shul once again had hundreds of people from all over who danced for hours as Yehuda Green led a spirited Kabbalat Shabbat. One of our favorite guests, Rabbi Dr. Nehemia Polen, gave an inspiring Dvar Torah during davening. The Shabbat dinner that followed with a maximum capacity crowd joyously celebrated together with special guest Chazan Sruli Williger. Rabbi Naftali Citron emceed the evening and had a number of old time Chevra share their stories and experiences with Reb Shlomo. Reb Nosson and Chana Shaffer, Rabbi Dr. Moshe and Tzipora
Rothkopf, along with their daughter, joined us and shared beautiful stories and teachings. On Shabbat morning we were graced by the beautiful voice of Sruli Williger followed by the wonderful Musaf of Yehuda Green. Learning and reminiscing started at lunch and went through Mincha. On Saturday night nearly one thousand people gathered at West Side Institutional Synagogue in tribute of Reb Shlomo’s memory. Chaim Kiss opened the evening with a beautiful musical Havdallah. Following Havdallah, we were treated to the soulful voice of Chaim Dovid Berson, chazan of the Jewish Center, who sang for the first time at this event. Radio personality Zev Brenner was the emcee of the evening and shared his own Shlomo stories. Sruli Williger wowed the crowd, and led the audience to get up and start dancing. Then Dr. Eli Kranzler took the stage and captured the enchanted quality of bringing the audience into his song and spoken word. Yehuda Green closed out the evening with a powerful set of songs
that had everyone on their feet.
On Sunday morning the JCC, together with the Carlebach Shul, hosted a day of learning about the Baal Shem Tov. The presenters were Rabbi Dr. Nehemia Polen, Rabbi Yitzchak Buxbaum and Chaya Rivka Zwolinski. Each of the speakers brought out a part of the Baal Shem Tov that could make daily life more meaningful. As Reb Yitzchak Buxbaum said in the name of the Ba’al Shem Tov “There are no good times and no bad times, there are only happy times and sad times; for everything that G-d does is for good. It only depends on how we receive it!”
We would like to give a big yasher koach to all those who participated in the event and who helped make this weekend such a great success. Special thank you to our sponsors for making these events possible, and may we continue to be inspired by the teachings of Reb Shlomo.

Constantine would convert to Christianity in 312
CE that Jerusalem was made into a significant
part of his newfound religion. Because the Jews
rejected Christianity, despite its being more
monotheistic than Roman paganism, Constan-
tine felt he needed to show the superiority of his
faith by oppressing the Jews of Jerusalem. For
the majority of the next 300 years, Jerusalem
was under the control of the Byzantine Empire.
The reason that Jerusalem is so significant to
Christianity is that it’s where Jesus spent his last
days and was crucified and then, according to
their belief, was resurrected. By holding on to
Jerusalem, the Christians aimed to strengthen
their claim to replace the Jews as G-d’s chosen
people. Because Christianity believes in what
they call the Old Testament which gives much
prominence to Jerusalem, they wished to incor-
porate the holy city into their faith.
The Rise of Islam and JerusalemIn 637 Caliph Omar took Jerusalem from
the Byzantine Empire and, although it often
changed hands within the Islamic world, Islam
controlled the holy city until the first Crusade in
the late 11th century. In their effort to build on
the old and control the new, Muslims decided
that by building on the Temple Mount they could
reconstruct or supersede the Jewish relation-
ship with the Temple Mount. They were aware
of the association of the holy site as being
considered the place that Abraham bound his
son and Jacob envisioned the angels climbing
the ladder as well as the place of the Evan
haShisiyah foundation stone, from which the
world was formed. In addition to downplaying
the Jewish significance of the Temple mount
they also wanted to overshadow the church of
the Sepulcher. Islam believes that Muhammad
ascended to heaven from the Temple Mount in a
night vision, many Muslims consider the Temple
Mount to be the world’s third holiest site.
While the first 100 years of Islamic rule brought
some relaxing of restrictions on the Jews,
including the right to pray on the Temple Mount,
this ended with Omar II in the year 720 when
he forbade Jews from praying on the Temple
Mount. (Source: Jerusalem by Simon S. Monte-
fiore and Wikipedia)
The Crusades In 1095 Pope Urban II called for a Crusade to
retake Jerusalem and the Church of the Sepul-
cher. Many ordinary people were awakened to
join this “holy war” because they were told that
their sins would be forgiven. In 1099 Jerusalem
was taken by the crusading armies. For 200
years after that, Jerusalem would be the site of
many battles between various Crusaders and
Islamic rulers.
While many Christians view the Crusaders in a
positive light, Muslims and Jews viewed them
otherwise. The religious frenzy to retake the
Holy Land was often experienced by the Jewish
communities of what is now Germany and Eng-
land as horrific bloodbaths. The massacres in
Rhineland where especially horrific. The crusad-
ers couldn’t wait to get to the Holy Land to spill
blood. Until today we recite dirge like prayers
called Kinot on the 9th of Av, remembering the
destruction of these communities along with
the earlier loss of the first and second Temple.
While the crusades were happening Maimonides
was able to see a silver lining in the rise of
Christianity and Islam.
Mishna Torah Laws of Kings Chapter 11 Halacha 4However the plan of the Creator is beyond
human understanding because His ways are not
our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.
(G-d works in mysterious ways) All of the things
about Yashu the Notzri and the Ishmalite that
arose after him are only to prepare the path for
the King Moshiach and to fix the entire world
to serve G-d together. How is this? The entire
world has become full of awareness about
Moshiach, Torah and Mitvoth. These concepts
have spread to many distant islands and many
nations uncircumcised of heart who are now
occupied and involved in these matters some of
them accept Mitzvoth as having been true but
now are no longer relevant, others understand
them to be alluding to mystical levels but not to
be taken literally and the messiah has already
came and revealed their mysteries. When the
true Moshiach will come and will succeed and
be exalted and made great instantly everyone
will recognize his truth and retract from their
previous errors that they had inherited from
their ancestors, and that their Prophets and
ancestors misled them.
May we merit to have the true Moshiach
revealed in our days.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER ✍Sweetest Friends:We live in interesting times. Probably not since the Vietnam War era has the United States been so divided politically. Who would have thought that a dark horse candidate, Donald Trump, would ascend to the highest office of the land? A few weeks before the election, everyone I spoke to thought it a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton would be next President of the United States. Yet, overnight everything was turned on its head. The story of Purim comes to mind, where an outsider, King Achasverush, ascends to the throne, issues a number of edicts, and the fate of the Jewish people takes a series of 180 degree turns. Ultimately our ancestors achieve victory over anti-Semitism and undertake a renewed commitment to Jewish values. The Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law) teaches us that if we read the Megilah למפרע (backwards) we have not fulfilled our obligation. The Baal Shem Tov explains this to mean that if we read the Megilah as if it happened in the past, we are missing the point -- the events of Purim should be viewed as happening even today.
As we witnessed how protests against an immigration ban morphed into Israel bashing in numerous cities,
the story of Purim is indeed right in front of us. We need to achieve greater unity and renew our commitment to Jewish values, goals for which the Carlebach Shul strives. Please consider joining us in our mission to bring out the spiritual best in all of us encompassing the love of our traditions and healing for our country.
For those of you who have not been in the Shul recently, we are active in many spheres, and our efforts have a wide impact disproportionate to our size. We are especially proud of our Shabbat events for young professionals and our weekly Kiddush and post-Kiddush lecture series with Rabbi Naftali. Our doors remain open to all.
