- Q. Dearest Rabbi, we have in our shul in Mexico a difficult situation.
Since next Shabbat is Shabbat Teshuva, our Rabbi usually speaks and gives the special Drashah of Shabbat Teshuva. On this particular occasion we also have a Bar Mitzva of a great and smart son of one of the main and large families in Shul.
Due to the time factors involved and the very large attendance expected for the great Bar Mitzva festivity we all want to avoid a conflict. As the Rov knows well the families and shul involved, what is the correct thing to do?
A. I was already approached by the familiar family and I have also spoken to the Rabbi. I suggested that since the Bar Mitzva boy is actually very smart and capable, the Rabbi should join with him and prepare together a linked most beautiful Drasha said and shared by both.
No question that the suggestion carries a great potential to induce and educate our youngsters in the learning of Torah and show all the importance of the greatest mitzva right in the most correct time of the year. It will also likely grant great memories for the Bar Mitzva boy and his family.
