RABBI’S CORNER
Dear YIEB Families,
The Medrash ( Vayikra Rabbah 34,3) tells the story of
when the great Torah Scholar Hillel was leaving, his
disciples said to him: "Master, where are you going?"
He replied: "to do a pious deed." They asked further,
"what may that be?" He replied: "to take a bath."
They asked, "is that a pious deed?" He replied, "yes. If
in the theaters and circuses, the images of the king
must be kept clean by the man to whom they have
been entrusted, how much more is it a duty of man to
care for the body, since man has been created in the
Divine Image and Likeness."
G-d endowed each of us with a body and the Torah
instructs us to properly care for it. And so, I’d like to
highlight for you an upcoming program:
YIEB’s Healthy Living Lecture Series:
Part one will take place this Motzei Shabbat,
November 7th, 8:00-9:15 PM and is titled: From
Kishke to Kale: An Exploration of Healthy Jewish
Eating and Creating the Shabbos Toolbox. Part two
will take place on Tuesday, November 17th, 7:00-
8:00 PM and is title Healthy Chinuch: Tips on Building
a Wellness Legacy for your Children and
Grandchildren.
The featured speaker will be Marla Rottensreich and
I’d like to encourage each of you to attend. Please
see the flyer for more details and please RSVP before
Shabbat! Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom.
Rabbi Jay Weinstein
A NOTE FROM RABBI WEINSTEIN ABOUT AIPAC
Dear YIEB Families,
I hope you will consider joining me at AIPAC's Policy
Conference on March 20-22, 2016 in Washington,
DC.Policy Conference is arguably the most important
conference in the Jewish world. Join over 16,000
activists in our nation's capital to lobby for the safety
and security of Israel. The Conference includes
exhibitions of groundbreaking Israeli innovations
saving American lives; keynote speeches by top
leaders from both the United States and Israel;
emotional and inspiring moments on stage; and
smaller and more intimate educational breakout
sessions. The Conference culminates in the
opportunity for us to lobby our member of Congress
on the pro-Israel agenda on Tuesday.
The early bird registration price of $499 ($399 for
Club members) ends on November 13. After
November 13 the cost of the Conference will be $599
($499 for Club members). Please take advantage of
the early bird discount and register today. Conference
registration is fully refundable until January 8. To
register please visit www.policyconference.org.
Please do not miss out on this discounted opportunity.
I look forward to traveling with you to Washington for
this crucial event! Thank you.

The family of our dear friend and Highland Park
resident Howard Beyer, Z"L has created The Howard L.
Beyer Memorial Fund at ELEM/Youth and Distress in
Israel, connecting Howard's dedication to issues of
troubled youth and his abiding commitment to Israel.
ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel is the country’s
leading nonprofit organization serving 20,000
troubled young people and an additional 100,000
youth who use ELEM online annually. These teens
face tremendous challenges including domestic
violence, drug and alcohol addiction, neglect, bullying,
homelessness and prostitution, in addition to the
stressors of living in Israel. ELEM's programs, located
in 40 cities, provide a safe space for Israeli youth and
help them to recover, reinvigorate, and reimagine a
positive future for themselves, their family and their
country. All gifts in Howard's memory will be
acknowledged both by ELEM and the Beyer family.
