Northwest Young Israel Expands Origin of Custom

Rabbi Samuel H. Prero, of
Young Israel of Northwest De-
troit, this week announced
plans for the synagogue's ex-
pansion and stated that the
congregation's board of direc-
tors has confidence in the
neighborhood's continued
growth. '

confidence in the continued
growth of Young Israel in the
northwest section; therefore,
they have resolved to build an
addition to their present struc-
ture to include six classrooms,
game rooms and an enlarged
synagogue capable of accommo-
dating 600 people. This, to our
way of thinking, should do more
n most anything else to indi-
cat ur confidence in the con-

The Talmudic Sages traced
the origin of the custom of the
rabbi's sermon, usually d
ered on the Sabbath, to
•ar-
of Moses (Yalkut S
om enting
shas Va-Yakhel)

upon the B i b
that Moses "as-
(Exodus 35:
people of Israel

the Sabbath. When the language
of the street differed from that
of the original Biblical Hebrew,
a translation and interpretation
of the Bible reading was offered
along with the reading itself.
This eventually led to the prac-
tice of delivering a sermon on
the Sabbath sometime after the
scripture reading.
The sermon was originally as-
sociated with the reading of the
scriptures. Thus the time was,
either after the scripture read-
ing on Sabbath morning or be-
fore the scripture reading on
Sabbath afternoon. At certain
times the afternoon sermon was
most popular among the laity
who w o u l d assemble in the
House of Worship or study,
coming there from surrounding
areas. It is also known that Fri-
day night was an occasion for
this too—mostly in a sense of
actual learning and study. Gen-
erally speaking, it should be
pointed out that while moral
improvement was one of the
desired achievements of the ser-
mon, nevertheless, this was only
a by-product of the process of
study. The practice of preaching
as we know it today, completely
geared to moral improvem
and rarely intended for s
y
was not originally a R
inic
innovation.
