       Rabbi Shlomo Krasner

May - June 2022                                                                           30 Nisan - 1 Tamuz 5782

                  For my dear Schomre Israel Family and Friends,
                      Spring is finally here. It has been a long winter, both literally and figuratively, and as the
                  flowers bloom and the robins flitter, a sweet warmth infuses the air. We are reminded that fol-
                  lowing even the harshest of winters is spring’s renewal and natural ability to blossom and grow
                  once more.

                 This winter has been very hard for the Schomre Israel and the Manor communities. We needed
to say goodbye to a few of our longtime friends. Righteous men and women, who had dedicated their lives for
goodness and friendship, filling up their surrounding with that warmful embrace which we looked forward to in
their company. They were people of G-d, infused with Torah and Mitzvos, a wealth of Jewish pride and tradi-
tions. We are now bereft of their wisdom and wit, their smile and calm, their care and their friendship.

    There is an old adage - when looking at a monument one sees two dates with a dash in between. And while
everyone focuses on the first date, the date of coming into this world, and on the second date, when they went to
                                            FRIDAY MINCHA TIMES
their eternal reward, what is more important than those dates is the dash in between – what they did with the
years that they were here. For our time here is only an “Entrance to the Banquet Hall”, we have so much to give
and better the world. And while we mourn the passing of our friends, we celebrate their lives and the way that
they made the world a better place. We celebrate the meaningful advice that they always shared with us, and we
celebrate their rock-solid faith throughout all of their tribulations. We celebrate their creativity, affection, and
goodwill, we celebrate their friendship, kindness, and love. We celebrate their lives and how they decided to fill
them – we celebrate the dash in between.

     “The dash serves as an emblem of our time here on the earth, and although small, it stands for all our years of
life and worth. And our worth will be determined by how we live each day; we can fill our dash with goodness,
or waste our life away. To ourselves, as well as others, let’s be honest, kind and true, and live our lives in the
way we know G-d wants us to. Let’s look for opportunities, to do a worthy deed, showing love and understand-
ing to those who are in need. For if our hearts are full of love throughout our journey here, we’ll be loved by all
who knew us and our memory they’ll hold dear. For that dash represents all the time spent alive on earth, and
now only those who loved them, know what that little line is worth. If we could just slow down enough to con-
sider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger,

                                                                           Message From the Rabbi continues on page 2

Message from the Rabbi continued from page 1

and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. Let us treat each other
with respect, and more often wear a smile. And when we die, those memories, will bring grateful loving tears to
all whose lives were touched by the dash between our years.” 1

    The classic paradigmatic contrast of one who lived life to its fullest and one who threw it all away can be found
in the beautiful story of Rus that we read during the Shavuos holiday. Naomi, whose husband had moved to the
fields of Moav due to famine, became the mother-in-law to two royal Moavi young women, Rus and Orpah. When
they all became widowed and impoverished, Naomi started to return back to her home in Beis Lechem. She
looked at her young daughters-in-law and implored them to return home to their lives. Orpah was torn between a
loving fidelity to Naomi and her original unburdened royal life, and after prodding, tearfully returned home to her
Moavi roots. Rus, however, understood the beauty of the Torah, and saw how it shone from Naomi, and desired to
embrace her fully. She understood that her mother-in-law needed love and kindness at that moment, and saw the
growth and importance of the path that Torah leads one to follow. “Do not entreat me to leave you and return back
from you, for your nation is my nation and your G-d is my G-d”. Orpah went back to her life of freedom, and
faded into obscurity, while Rus followed the beauty of all that is good, becoming the paragon of the beauty of
kindness and Torah. Rus is credited with being one of the main influences of her great-grandson David, and the
Mother of Royalty for all time.2

    So as I watch the flowers blooming and the young shoots breaking free from the harsh soil, I will think of my
friends to whom I have said goodbye. Yet instead of mourning, I will celebrate their lives. The people they have
come to be, their Jewish pride, kindness, mitzvos and closeness to Hashem, their friendships, the lives that they
lived and the dash that they filled with goodness and warmth. For the Heavens, the Heavens belong to Hashem,
and the Earth He gave to man. I celebrate those who were given a place here on Earth, and transformed it, and
themselves, into the Heavens.

CALENDAR - Our next big project will be our annual color Calendar. Your help will make this a very successful project.
We need ads from the professional people you meet and the businesses you buy from. Celebrating happy occasions, remem-
brances can make a good ad. Call Cassia Brown, 845.452.8317, and tell her you will help with our Calendar. All of our Con-
gregation Members, Sisterhood members, and advertisers will receive a copy of the Calendar. Your help is needed with this
project. Ads must be in by June 30, 2022, see our website for ad pricing and information.

In addition, we will list birthdays, anniversaries, and yahrzeits. The cost is $3 per name for the first 5 names and $1 per
name after that. List your birthday as well as those of your spouse, children, grandchildren, etc. Call in your information to
Keren Ritz, 845.849.3301, or fill in the coupon below: mail or drop off at the Shul. Save us a phone call. Submit your
names by Thursday, June 30, 2022.

The annual Calendar is an important fund raiser for Sisterhood. We provide the delicious Shabbat kiddushes, hamentaschen
for the hospitals and nursing homes, money to the Shul to make its budget needs. If a major repair or major purchase must be
made, Sisterhood is there to help. By helping Sisterhood, you are helping the Shul.

  We have been providing the Congregation and the Jewish Community this calendar for almost two decades.
We hope you will participate in this venture and look forward to seeing your color ads and listings.
    This calendar provides our Jewish community with information regarding Jewish holidays, Torah readings,
candle-lighting times, and religious and social events that are presented by Congregation Schomre Israel. The
calendar raises funds to help support special Schomre Israel functions and many community projects which are
sponsored by the Sisterhood. The Sisterhood and Congregation Schomre Israel serve the Jewish Community,
patients in local health institutions and hospitals, and the many nursing homes in the area.
   Our Congregation was organized in the City of Poughkeepsie in 1888. We are 134 years old. We are the
only established Modern Orthodox Synagogue in Dutchess County.
                    We are asking for your support by taking out an ad in our calendar.
