HAPPENING HA HA

Our Future, Shaped by Purpose

Reflections from Scott Garber, President of Hebrew Academy’s Board

This past week, The Jewish world and the Hebrew Academy family was shaken by the sudden and untimely passing of Rabbi Moshe Hauer z”l, Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union Rabbi Hauer was a towering example of Torah leadership wise, humble, and deeply devoted to Klal Yisrael.

Rabbi Hauer’s ties to Hebrew Academy and Montreal were deep and personal. His mother was a beloved teacher at Hebrew Academy for many years, and his father served as the rabbi of the Chevra shul When Rabbi Hauer returned to Montreal last spring to address the OU’s All Mishnah Junior program, he shared with pride that he was a graduate of our very own kindergarten (His sister were graduates) Hearing him speak that night was truly special his words carried a depth, warmth, and conviction it was a true honor.

I had the privilege of meeting privately with Rabbi Hauer between the elementary and high school programs that evening In just a few moments, he gave me both chizzuk and a charge He spoke about the remarkable sense of community he felt between parents and students how it reminded him of the Hebrew Academy and the Montreal of his youth and he encouraged us to nurture that strength as we look to the future.

He also spoke about the heart of what makes a Jewish school truly great that it must be built not only on knowledge and achievement, but on Torah and chesed. On kindness, compassion, and genuine care for one another He told me how proud he was to hear that we were expanding our Judaic Studies programs in the upcoming year to deepen our focus on Torah learning and acts of chesed It was clear how much it meant to him that Hebrew Academy continues to raise children who live Torah and give chesed because, that is how you build generations of strength for Klal Yisrael.

We are living in challenging times both on a communal and personal level. On a communal level, baruch Hashem, we’ve seen our hostages return home, yet there is still so much pain and uncertainty about those we have lost The after-effects of the peace deal remain unclear Here at home, we are facing unprecedented expressions of antisemitism, and on a personal level, our own school faces significant financial challenges. And yet, I remain deeply optimistic. Because every single day, I see the strength of this community the talent, the generosity, and the faith that have always defined Hebrew Academy. It is precisely in challenging times that our mission becomes clearest: to build, to believe, and to invest in our children and our future.

This year’s President’s Report is about more than reflection it’s a call to take Rabbi Hauer’s charge and turn it into action, As a community, let’s strengthen our sense of togetherness through acts of chesed Find someone who needs a hand or a kind word pick up the phone, reach out, offer help.

And through Torah our school is preparing to roll out an ambitious plan of nightly learning opportunities and parent programs Come join Learn Engage We need you

As a Board, we too will need to make strategic decisions in the months ahead decisions that will ensure Hebrew Academy remains financially strong, educationally vibrant, and spiritually anchored in the values that define us. These choices will not always be easy, but they will be guided by clarity of purpose, by our faith in this mission, and by the u

Because we can not allow our fut circumstance, but by strategy b values-driven choices we make to tomorrow. Together, through Tor and community, we will build a s Hebrew Academy and, b’ezrat Ha a stronger Klal Yisrael.

A New Beginning in Cheshvan

Dr. Laura Segall on Finding Meaning Beyond the Festivals

The month of Cheshvan comes upon as almost as a let down. On the heels of Elul and Tishrei, a period of intense spiritual highs and celebration, we return to our “regularly scheduled program”, the humdrum of daily life, into a month devoid of any festivals or holidays to the point that it has even been dubbed mar Cheshvan or “bitter” Cheshvan To borrow the often-quoted analogy, the months of Elul, Tishrei and Cheshvan mirror a courtship, wedding and marriage between G-d and ourselves We spend the first month seeking favor, a courtship that culminates on the highest level of spirituality and closeness on Kippur. Then, the celebration, the ultimate joy in the Succah, as we place ourselves in His hands. Then, the celebrations are over, the excitement is behind us, we come in from our Succahs, head into our homes and close the door Now, begins the marriage As Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch z’l so eloquently states: “Our holy days must not merely be an oasis, but well-streams which flow in all directions ” The question is, how do we carry that spirituality with us when we return to the mundane? The answer lies in our misunderstanding of the purpose of the months leading into Cheshvan “The purpose of G-d’s sanctuary lies not in your visitation, not in the festivals within its walls, but in what you carry away from it into life. The strength of the Sanctuary lies in the influence it exerts on your daily life outside its confines.” The narrative of Parashat Noach mirrors to this moment.

The parasha opens on a world ruined by violence G-d, angry by what has become of humanity, decides to destroy the world Noach, “a righteous man, perfect in his generations” (Bereshit 6:9), is commanded to build the teivah, an “ark”, to save his family and the animals. For 120 years, Noach dedicates himself to the task. Then, once the family and all the animals have boarded the ark, the rain begins to fall. For forty days and nights, the heavens open up, the waters churn for months. Finally, as the water begins to recede, the ark comes to rest at the top of a mountain. Finally, exactly one year from the day of the onset of the flood dry land appears Noach emerges and “builds an altar to the Lord” G-d pledges never again to destroy all life and sets the Rainbow as the sign of that covenant, together with a renewed moral code for humanity, the seven Noachide laws Then, abruptly, the text turns inward: “He drank of the wine and became drunk, and he uncovered himself within his tent” (Bereshit9:21).

How do we carry that spirituality with us when we return to the mundane? “ ”

Overwhelmingly, our sages are in agreement as voiced by Rashi, noting the use of the verb vayyachel,“he made himself profane”, and faults Noach’s first choice after salvation: “he ought first to have engaged in a different planting,” not a vineyard Bereshit9:20) At the same time, the Torah had already called him “a righteous man, perfect in his generations” (Bereshit6:9), to which Rashi responds that there were, nonetheless, limits to Noach’s stature. Some commentators find empathy for Noach. For example, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb suggests that Noach “enjoyed the sense of spirituality […] a spiritual ‘high’” and, after the crisis, grasped for an easy spirituality, “a few drinks, and you will feel all the good feelings you felt before, and then some”, a shortcut that ends in shame, not renewal In essence, it was a misguided attempt to recapture the spiritual high he felt when disembarking from the ark, the absence of which he felt keenly once the business of daily life and rebuilding resumed. Nonetheless, he too laments that Noach’s “failure to realize the inevitable consequences of his drunkenness is one of the saddest narratives in the Torah ” That said, there are those who give Noach the benefit of the doubt

Noach may have miscalculated because the world itself was no longer the same. The Malbim, for example, explicitely states that the conditions of the world had changed after the flood. “Behold, the rainbow is a natural phenomenon when the rays of the sun strike a thin, rain-bearing cloud,” implying new atmospheric conditions now refract light as a sign of covenant Note that this is presumable the first instance of the presence of a rainbow from the time of creation. In this light, Noach did what he would have done in the past, he just -

miscalculated the potency of the fruit of the vineyard. Sforno, however, is unmoved: “Since his first undertaking was an unworthy one it led to disgraceful consequences, illustrating that a small flaw at the outset of an endeavor is greatly magnified in its outcome” In other words, miscalculation or not, he should have engaged in more worthy activities from the start. The desire to recapture the spiritual high of the events past and not knowing how to go about it were ultimately Noach’s downfall. Rabbi Weinreb cautions against the lure of easy spirituality, the ersatz attempt to replicate a festival “high” without the slow craft of tefillah, learning, compassion, and discipline. This is the question that Rabbi Hirsch seeks to address. In the month of Cheshvan, will we still “stand before Him” as during the festivals, or will that clarity already have begun to fade? [G-d’s] program is not nostalgia for the Mikdash but weekday sanctification: carry the sanctuary outward, so that holy time becomes “well-streams” irrigating kitchens and corridors, clinics and classrooms, until weekday ground itself is alive with covenantal purpose”

Despite the sobering mood that follows after we leave our Sukkahs and return to our daily lives we must not drift aimlessly but take on the mantle of responsibility to infuse spirituality into our daily lives. We are renewed after the Holy Days, we are not as we were before. We are better, we have disembarked and are now faced with a new beginning And how we begin, how we take those first steps into the new year is what matters most

May the month of Cheshvan be the beginning of a spiritually fulfilling year for all filled with mitzvot, chessed and tefilot.

Dr Laura Segall Head of School

Rabbi Fhima

Director of Torah Programming and High School Student Engagement

With profound gratitude to Hashem, this year is truly on the right track. But the question is: how do we know if we’re really doing well?

One of the ways to measure progress is by looking at the gap between where we started and where we are now. This idea is one of the yesodot behind the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. Hashem wants to see how much effort we are willing to invest in our growth He knows that we won’t become Tzadikim Gemurim overnight What He desires is our sincere will, that deep yearning to improve and come closer to Him. And for that reason alone, I believe we are doing well!

Our students are becoming more and more engaged in Kodesh classes There is a genuine desire to do better But the question remains: how do we actually grow?

The answer is quite simple. The recipe for growth is to cultivate knowledge, not just theoretical ideas, but the timeless wisdom that was given to us at Har Sinai in the year 2448, during Matan Torah. I’ve come to realize that inspiration doesn’t maintain growth; it only triggers it

The only thing that truly sustains growth is knowledge: the constant drive to push our boundaries and to be better than we were yesterday.

We now enter the month of Cheshvan, the only month in the Torah without a special day: no Yom Tov, no Ta’anit, nothing that stands out Why? Because Hashem wants to see our performance in the mundane He wants to know who we are when there’s no external pressure of Yamim Noraim or the excitement of Chagim.

This is our moment to show Hashem that our growth is not dependent on inspiration or circumstance, but on our inner desire to become closer to Him and to be the best version of ourselves

I wish all of our Talmidim, Talmidot, parents, and teachers a meaningful month filled with growth, strength, and Aliyah La’Torah!

Rabbi Salter Dean of Jewish

Life

One of my favorite parts of Havdalah (and my overfilling my cup so that it spills over onto even the table. It’s messy, yes, but deeply sym we pray for Hashem to open for us in the com each Jew’s divine mission to be a constant, ov faith, and warmth.

In those elevated moments, we pray not only but to become conduits vessels through w Since the start of this school year at Hebrew A how far our blessings are overflowing. From v our brothers and sisters in Israel, to celebrati students have embraced their role as spiritual ambassadors. The cafeteria reverberates with fervent Birkat Hamazon daily, and holy Divrei Torah from our Elementary students echo at Shabbat tables across the city Singing songs, sharing love our trademark warmth and HA spirit can be felt far beyond our walls

Noach’s Tevah had one unique feature a window that didn’t just let light in but radiated light out. The Beit HaMikdash later shared this trait, emanating holiness into the world. I believe our light at Hebrew Academy is shining brighter than ever With Torah, Tefillah, and Maasim Tovim happening at all hours of the day, our precious students radiate an infectious love for learning, Torah and Israel

May our light continue to grow stronger. May our students gain the confidence to be overflowing fountains of blessing illuminating their homes, our communities, and the world. Wishing you a warm, safe, and growth-filled winter.

Tehilim Project & Yom Iyun in Memory of Joel Sternthal Z”L High School

In memory of Joel Sternthal Z”L, Hebrew Academy’s first president, whose leadership and vision helped lay the foundation for the school’s establishment, our students have embarked on inspiring Torah initiatives alongside Rabbi Fhima

On September 5, our High School gathered for the first annual Yom Iyun in honor of his yahrzeit. Students came together to celebrate his lasting impact through Torah learning and were privileged to be joined by his son, Norman Sternthal, a dear friend of Hebrew Academy, along with other family members and friends. The program was held in the gym, where tables were set for collaborative study Older students partnered with younger peers to launch a year-long Tehilim Siyum initiative, beginning with the first perek Together, our students will complete the learning of all of Sefer Tehilim, culminating in a Siyum on the 13th of Elul 5786.

The Yom Iyun also featured a Siyum Masechet, led by Dr. Aron Portnoy (‘92), while the grade 10 and 11 boys participated in a separate Siyum with Rabbi Singer, further engaging with Torah study and reinforcing their commitment to learning and growth

With Hashem’s help, and with tremendous תחנ, our students have diligently taken upon themselves to study Sefer Tehilim and to share what they’ve learned in memory of Mr. Sternthal Z”L. One of the reasons Sefer Tehilim was chosen is that הליפת our deep desire to connect with Hashem is a central area of Avodah. By engaging with these sacred texts, students strengthen their connection to Hashem, reflect on life’s challenges and emotions, and discover new ways to grow spiritually

A dedicated group of students has also undertaken the special task of completing the reading of Sefer Tehilim periodically for Shabbat. This reflects how much our Talmidim and Talmidot are striving to grow, challenge themselves, and elevate themselves in Kedusha. To mark this initiative, each student received their own Tehilim as a gift from Hebrew Academy.

This combined project and Yom Iyun have been a beautiful reminder of the dedication, passion, and yearning for growth our students bring to their learning and to םשה תדובע It is truly inspiring to witness so many teens striving to grow in הרות and םשה תדובע, bringing much תחנ to our school community.

A LASTING GIFT IN MEMORY OF JOEL STERNTHAL Z”L

Hebrew Academy is profoundly grateful to The Johanne Foundation and Norman Sternthal for their extraordinary gift in memory of Joel Sternthal Z”L, the school’s first president and one of its founders In recognition of their generosity, the campus has been proudly named “Campus Joel Sternthal”, honoring his enduring legacy for all who walk our halls.

This meaningful contribution is designed to support Hebrew Academy for many years, benefiting students today and for generations to come, and reflects the Johanne and Norman Sternthal family’s steadfast commitment to the school’s mission and future
