WHY DO WE EAT POMEGRANATES ON ROSH HASHANA? By Rabbi Aron Moss
Why do we eat pomegranates on Rosh Hashana?
I
've seen it explained that "we should be full of mitzvos and good deeds like the pomegranate is full of seeds." But there are other fruits that are full of seeds. Couldn't we eat something a little tastier than a pomegranate? Many people tell me that they are not involved with Judaism because they don't want to be a hypocrite. Why come to shul for Rosh Hashana if I don't go the rest of the year? How can I fast on Yom Kippur if I don't keep Shabbos? What's the point of putting on Tefillin in the morning if I then eat a non-kosher breakfast? You can't pick and choose, they say. This is wrong. While it is true that we can't pick and choose, nevertheless the non-observance of one mitzvah does not cancel the observance of another. Because mitzvos are like the seeds of a pomegranate. Most fruits have a little cluster of seeds some-
where in their centre. But the pomegranate is full of seeds, and every one of those seeds is self contained. Each seed is encrusted in its own little bulb of fruit. It has its own distinct place, separate from all the other seeds. A mitzvah is the same. Every mitzvah is a universe unto itself, with its own spiritual power and its own unique blessing that it brings. Just because you don't keep some mitzvos does not mean you shouldn't keep others. Each mitzvah you do plugs you in to eternity, connects you with the Divine, and takes you higher. Every mitzvah is a unique opportunity for your soul to touch heaven. The mitzvos that you don't do shouldn't allow you to miss this opportunity. This is why the Talmud says, "Even the most disconnected soul is full of mitzvos like a pomegranate." A good deed has eternal worth, no matter who does it. So if you find yourself doing one mitzvah when you still don't do others, you are not a hypocrite. You are a holy pomegranate.•

TWO PARABLES A parable from Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov: A King had an only son, the apple of his eye. The King wanted his son to master different fields of knowledge and to experience various cultures, so he sent him to a far-off country, supplied with a generous quantity of silver and gold. Far away from home, the son squandered all the money until he was left completely destitute. In his distress he resolved to return to his father's house and after much difficulty, he managed to arrive at the gate of the courtyard to his father's palace. In the passage of time, he had actually forgotten the language of his native country, and he was unable to identify himself to the guards. In utter despair he began to cry out in a loud voice, and the King, who recognized the voice of his son, went out to him and brought him into the house, kissing him and hugging him. The meaning of the parable: The King is G-d. The prince is the Jewish people, who are called "Children of G-d" (Deuteronomy 14:1). The King sends a soul down to this world in order to fulfill the Torah and mitzvot. However, the soul becomes very distant and forgets everything to which it was accustomed to above, and in the long exile it forgets even its own "language." So it utters a simple cry to its Father in Heaven. This is the blowing of the shofar, a cry from deep within, expressing regret for the past and determination for the future. This cry elicits G-d’s mercies, and He demonstrates His
abiding affection for His child and forgives him. A parable from Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev: A king was once traveling in the forest and lost his way, until he met a man who recognized that he was the king and escorted his master out of the forest and back to his palace. The king later rewarded him with many presents, and elevated him to a powerful minister's post. After a while, however, the man committed an act which was considered rebellious against the king, and he was sentenced to death. Before he was taken out to be executed, the king granted him one last request. The man said: “I request to wear the clothes I wore when I escorted His Majesty when he was lost in the forest, and that His Majesty should also wear the clothes he wore then.” The king complied, and when they were both dressed in the garments they wore at the time of their meeting, he said, “By your life, you have saved yourself,” and called off the execution. The meaning of the parable is that when G-d gave the Torah to Israel, he offered it first to all the nations of the world. They all refused, except the people of Israel, who willingly accepted the yoke of Heaven and fulfilled the commandments of the Creator. But now we have transgressed and rebelled, like the man in the parable, and with the arrival of the Day of Judgment we are fearful indeed. So we blow the shofar to recall the shofar blowing that accompanied our original acceptance of the Torah and coronation of G-d. This merit stands by us, and G-d forgives us all our sins and inscribes us immediately for a year of goodness and life.•

Q. Why aren't there hechsherim on the packaging of all your products?
A. While we encourage companies to use logos, often they aren’t prepared to go thru the costs for artwork changes. Smaller companies may drop kosher. We believe that direct consumer demands to manufacturers can be beneficial.

The syrups for the slurpies are manufactured at the CCA African plant and we have been given no information as to the Kosher status of these syrups. We have been in discussions with CCA and they have agreed to look at sourcing some flavours from Ireland under Kosher supervision. Unfortunately the resolution is going slowly.

OFF THE HOOK & OUT OF THIS WORLD!
M
elbourne Jews are returning rave reviews on the culinary offerings at the city's newest kosher restaurant, "Off The Hook." Given the current response, diners are not going to be bored with the offerings available to them during the Sukkot holiday at the new restaurant, which opened for business just last month at 70A Kooyong Road in North Caulfield. The fish and chips shop is operated by partners Dennis Zilberman and Moshe Menahem and is already busily preparing for the holiday onslaught. A sukkah will be available for diners who choose to eat outside "under the clouds of glory" for the eight days of the upcoming Sukkot holiday. The restaurant was swamped as soon as it opened its doors in August by local foodies who had waited years for such a shop. "We didn't want to open another shwarma or falafel place," explained Zilberman. "People should have an option to buy kosher fish and chips." The fave finger food beloved by Brits everywhere is considered a special treat in Melbourne as well -- but until now, Jews were left out of the loop. Sisco, the chef at "Off the Hook," resolved that problem in short order with a unique menu that includes Shabbos takeout foods as well potato cakes, fish fingers, fish cakes, salmon cakes, chips, and sushi packs. "Our customers' favourite dish is the marinated salmon with sweet chilli or mango sauce," Zilberman said. "But the basic fish and chips is, of course, the staple." Other sauces include the traditional tartar sauce, and garlic aioli. One of the customers (who asked not to be identified) mentioned that her veggy burger was the best she
12 SEPTEMBER 2011
had ever had, and "the tartar sauce was 'off the hook.' It was impossible to keep my 10-month-old from grabbing my fish cake out of my hand," she smiled. The response has been very positive, Zilberman said. "People are excited about the shop. They tell me they have been waiting for a fish and chips shop in Melbourne since they were kids," he noted with satisfaction. All sauces are prepared fresh on site. Gefilte fish is made fresh "from scratch" on Thursdays and Fridays -the main fish used in the mix is blue grenadier. "People are loving the gefilte fish," Zilberman said. Australian salmon is used in the salmon cakes, he added, because "we try to use as many local products as we can." The hake comes from South Africa and Namibia, he added. In addition, the shop sells fresh fish to those who are adventurous enough to prepare their own at home. Among the offerings are salmon, tuna, wild barramundi and blue grenadier. Zilberman also said he will order any fish a customer wants to pre-order. The fresh fish service is a special joy after an entire weekend of Shabbos meat meals. It is also a major advantage since the regular fish market is closed on Mondays -- never a problem for clients of Off The Hook, of course. ------------------------------Off The Hook is open Sunday - Thursday, 12 noon to 9:00 pm, and Fridays, 12 noon to 4:00 pm. Phone number: 9509 1338 ~ For a full menu, readers can email OffTheHook70a@hotmail.com . Seniors enjoy a special 20% discount on Monday and Tuesday!

Helping Renew the Purifying Waters of Arad
ewish women living high above the “lowest place on the planet” this year have faced a tough challenge in properly fulfilling the commandment of family purity. At the point where the Judean Desert meets the Negev, the small Israeli desert town of Arad sits on a ridge overlooking the southern tip of the Dead Sea. Its elevation is approximately the same as the holy city of Jerusalem. But even though the waters of the Dead Sea are famed for their healing ability, one thing they cannot do is serve as a mikvah – a ritual pool of purifying “living waters.” In Jewish law, only natural water from the world's
J
oceans, rivers, wells and spring-fed lakes – water in which life can survive -- can be used for a mikvah. Rain water can also be collected in cisterns that feed into pools adjoining the mikvahs in which Jewish women ritually purify themselves. It is the mikvah that seals the holy bond of Jewish family life in the hours after sunset each month. But for the women of Arad, fulfillment of this key commandment has come at a great price. For Chabad women, it has meant a trip of an hour or more to the city of Be'er Sheva to find the closest mikvah that adheres to their Chassidic traditions. In recent days, that has sometimes also meant a lifethreatening gamble against the terrorists launching

rocket attacks on the city and surrounding areas. Arad has a mikvah. Unfortunately it has repeatedly broken down and its kosher legal status has been called into question numerous times for more than a year. Red tape and other issues kept the city's religious authority from attending to desperately needed repairs. Finally, a contractor was secured and the work finally began but there was not enough money to complete the task. “It's not that the repairs themselves are not going to be done,” explained Tzila S., a member of the community. “They are. But that is all. The tiles on the walls, even before this problem existed, were already cracked and decades old. And now that workers have been in there, swinging hammers and all... “ In recent years, most mikvaos have pleasant and comfortable facilities which greatly enhance observance of this mitzva. Arad’s mikvah, sadly, does not come anywhere close. “The contractor is trying to work with us,” Tzila said. “He told us to pick out tiles, and explained how to keep the cost down. I wanted to get pretty ones, so that even
if we don't have much, at least the walls should look nice.” Since Arad's religious authority refused to pay, a family that could ill afford it took a personal loan to cover the contractor's initial work beyond basic repairs. But the loan must be repaid. Worse, that sum only covered the first week's work. Much more still needs to be done. “I don't know how we are going to do this,” Tzila admitted. “But I believe – I must believe – that G-d will not leave our community without a mikvah.” Funds are desperately needed to complete the renovations. Those who wish to participate in this great spiritual undertaking and reap the merit of this project are invited to donate any amount to the Arad Mikvah Fund c/o Hana Levi Julian. Funds may be sent via PayPal at alj770@gmail.com with “Arad Mikvah Fund” in the memo. Checks may be sent via snail mail. Contact Mrs. Julian via email for the mail address, or call +972-54-310-1933. May the merit of this mitzvah provide protection in kind!

Surviving the Festive Season Taryn Dickman Dietitian, APD
The solemn days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur that give way to Sukkos and Simchas Torah are rapidly approaching. Sitting in the Sukkah is associated with lots of celebrations, lots of laughs and an overwhelming amount of food and drink. Although it is a time to enjoy yourself, it is important not to let those extra kilos pile on. Here are 10 easy ways to avoid the festive season wobblies. Don’t arrive to a meal hungry Eat regular meals and snacks throughout the day. Additionally, having a healthy snack prior to a meal can prevent overconsumption of food at meal times. Healthy snack ideas include a multigrain or fruit toast, fruit smoothie, fruit, low-fat yoghurt, a handful of nuts and dried fruit. Stay well hydrated Being hydrated it not only imperative for good health; it also helps control appetite. It is important to stay well hydrated, aiming to drink around 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day. Water is the best option, as it hydrates the body the most efficiently with the benefit of being calorie-free. Choose lower fat options Jewish cooking, although delicious, is often high in fat and/or sugar. These foods are calorie dense, and if consumed in large amounts will most likely result in weight gain. Therefore, it is important to try and lower your fat intake by: Cutting the fat off meat and taking the skin off chicken, avoiding large amounts of mayonnaise or oily based dressings, filling up on salad rather than challah, baking, grilling or steaming rather than frying foods, choosing low-fat or no-fat dairy products, swapping unhealthy desserts like pastries, cakes, biscuits and ice cream with fruit and compote. Avoid filling up on challah It’s easy to fill up on challah before you have even started main course. However, after consuming just two slices of challah, you have already eaten the necessary calories needed for one adult meal. Any additional food will lead to additional calories, leading to additional weight gain. To avoid this dangerous situation swap challah for salad or wait until main course to begin eating. Control your portions Controlling portion size is one of the easiest ways to control your food intake and prevent weight gain. A 16 SEPTEMBER 2011
healthy meal should look like this on your plate: ¼ protein (meat, chicken, fish or egg), ¼ carbohydrates (bread, rice, pasta or potatoes), ½ salad/vegetables, fruit and water on the side. Eat slowly, engage in conversation It takes an estimated 20 minutes for your body to process that you have eaten and that you are full. Therefore, eating slowly and engaging in conversation will give your body the time it needs to acknowledge it has eaten. This will prevent overconsumption of food and the horrible feeling of being “too full.” Watch your alcohol intake Alcohol has a lot of calories, making it an easy way to gain weight. If you chose to drink alcohol, try and avoid large amounts and use mixers like soda water, fresh lemon/lime or a diet soft drink to prevent excess calorie intake. Be active Exercise is an important component of physical health, disease prevention, stress relief, and weight maintenance. Energy consumed through food and drink needs to be balanced with energy expended through exercise in order to control and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise (brisk walk, slow run, cycling, swimming etc.) most days of the week to keep fit and healthy. Sleep soundly Poor quality sleep has been linked to being overweight and/or obese. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of good quality sleep a night. To achieve this, ensure that your environment is conducive to sleep (i.e. not too light, comfortable bed, quiet, not too hot or cold) and that you are in a good sleep routine. Avoid large meals, heavy exercise and stimulants (e.g. caffeine) just before bedtime. Enjoy yourself Eating is associated with family gatherings, holidays, friendly catch-ups and good times. It is important not to take away from the excitement of the festivities by counting calories and being too strict with your diet. Try incorporating some of the above steps in to your holiday celebrations, as well as into your lifestyle, and remember everything in moderation is a healthy eating philosophy.
