In Loving Memory of Bobby I. Dweck A'H - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mr. Sammy Saka hosts classes on Zoom Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30PM. Contact Jacob Betesh to be added to the chat. Mr. Saka teaches Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa's short Mishnah: when a person's good deeds exceed his wisdom, his wisdom endures; when wisdom outruns action, it fades. Study is indispensable - how else would we know what to do - but the Torah is a book of life, and the long narratives of Bereshit, from Avraham's hospitality to the search for Yitzchak's wife, teach through action. Mr. Saka recalls the immigrant generations who built the community on work ethic rather than schooling, including his account of Joe Betesh's grandfather and the founding of the West Deal community, and contrasts them with today's graduates turning data analytics into business results. A tennis mashal carries the point home: skills kept off the court fade, while the Hillel players he describes turned their coach's lessons into championships. He closes by pointing to the Dweck, Franco, and Sutton families as living examples of the Mishnah. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (0:00) The Mishnah, and today's dedication(1:28) A book of life, not laws(5:05) Generations who built on work ethic(8:20) Lessons stay alive on the court(11:00) Families who live the Mishnah - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Visit: westdealshul.orgSponsorships: [email protected]
