I think he also regarded me as a very good friend. Had I known of this blog before, I would have contributed to it right after his untimely passing. I only heard of it several days ago; hence the lateness of this contribution of mine to a massive outpouring of love for Lipa. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>I don’t remember exactly when I first met this intellectual, spiritual and moral giant of a man. It must have been in the early or mid 1980s. At the time, I was working as an economist at the Fraser Institute, located in Vancouver, B.C. Lipa invited me to speak at his Chabad House (I always thought of it as his Chabad House, no one else’s). Like a skunk at the garden party, a chutzpanick, I gave a lecture criticizing the Talmudic view of business ethics in general, and of Maimonides in particular. Afterward, Lipa and I got into it a bit, on these issues. We both like to argue. One of the things I most admire in him is that when he engages in debate, it is always in an attempt to get that proverbial one millionth of an inch closer to the Truth. I never saw any ego involved in his participation in our discussions. It is my fondest hope that I may emulate him in this regard. At the time of my talk at Chabad House I remember him saying something like, “Well, we won’t be able to settle these issues standing on one foot.” By which he meant that we would need more time to do so, and he suggested that we have lunch together for that purpose. We did, and continued to do so for almost a decade, pretty much every week or two or so, until I left Vancouver for a job in the U.S. in 1991. But, since my family still lived in Vancouver, and my new job was an academic posting, I was back in Vancouver for about five months a year, and Lipa and I continued our regular meetings until his all too soon passing.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>One of the things that sticks out in my mind about our intellectual jousts was not the differences between our two views, mine, libertarianism, his, of course, the Talmud, but the similarities. A lot of the reliance on economic freedom, private property rights, in my tradition came from John Locke. Much of Lipa’s, on these concepts and institutions, from Maimonides, and even earlier sages. Needless to say, I had to concede to Lipa that his sources came earlier in history than mine.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Sometimes, my son Matthew joined the two of us in our intellectual battles. Although his field (computers) is very different than, and seemingly far removed from, the issues Lipa and I discussed (ethics, political economy, Talmud, libertarianism), Matthew has several times told me that the rigorous logic employed by the two of us, me and my friend Lipa, was not only enjoyable for its own sake, but also, at least indirectly, helped him in writing code for computers. I suppose this phenomenon is similar to the study of music and mathematics somehow helping with each other. Matthew was not the only family member of mine drawn into Lipa’s orbit. Our entire families became friendly with each other. Neither of us had any relatives located in Vancouver, so our two families drew closer to each other than might otherwise have been the case. I know that my children, Matthew and Hannah looked upon Lipa and Dena as a sort of uncle and aunt; and that my wife Marybeth looked upon them and their many children in an analogous way. The four of us would go to the Dubrawsky home on a Friday night two or three times a year, and their entire gang would visit us in the wilds of North Vancouver virtually every summer for a picnic. One of the high points of the latter was our annual visit to the horse stable near our home, which featured, in addition to the equines, a very fat goat, a dog that did tricks, ducks, cats; ‘twas a real menagerie. There might have been 15 or more of us walking through the streets of Vancouver to get to that stable. I’m sure we made an interesting experience for our neighbors.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>As it happens, Lipa and I were born and spent our early childhoods a few hundred yards from each other in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. One of the high points in my life was when Lipa and I met at 770 Eastern Parkway, and Lipa introduced me to Rabbi Schneerson, who gave me a one dollar bill (along with everyone else). That night I saw Lipa truly in his element. The only real “problem” I had with Lipa when we talked at the Chabad House in Vancouver, was that we were often interrupted by people asking him for his interpretation of the Talmud, wanting to talk to him, wanting to be in his presence. Lipa was regarded as a sage in the “minor leagues” of Vancouver. But the same thing occurred in the “major leagues” of Brooklyn. People were continually coming up to the two of us, well, to Lipa of course, to congratulate him, to ask him questions, to pat him on the back, to be near him. He just had that effect on people. And he did so without even writing and publishing anything (I continually pestered him to do so; I never succeeded). However, his reputation for brilliance, for kindliness, for humility, for being a lovely person, somehow percolated out into the world without any of the usual literary props on which such reputations usually rest. Even more amazing in my view, but a great testimony to the goodness of his soul.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Why did Lipa invite me to give that initial speech at the Chabad House? I miss him terribly for much more than that, much much more, but I never asked him that question, so I don’t know the answer. I can only speculate. My thought is that I was a non-practicing Jew, and this was his way of reaching out to me. There are no t’fillen mobiles in Vancouver as there are in New York City and other such places, and this was one of his ways of substituting for that lacuna. I am very grateful that he did. He opened my eyes to a world, his world, that I would not otherwise have experienced.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>My own motto when faced with tragedy is to resolve to do better. To be more productive. To be more kind. To be happier. Whenever I think of Lipa, that is what motivates me. I miss him terribly. He made me a better person.

I attended his classes on Thursdays, and would become utterly intoxicated by his torah insight. I felt and believe he knew me better than any other, with only so few words ever exchanged between ourselves. And despite all my misgivings, he trusted my word, regardless of me being homeless and a goy. Even when someone who was concerned about my well being, asked him for advice in regards to what to do with myself (this fellow told me later about this), he said to not worry about me, as I know what I am doing. <br> While this may not seem like much; it is so easy to judge a fellow like me at face value, which makes his passing especially tormenting because he is the only one I have ever known to see past what seems to be obvious, and to be recognize the silver lining of my entire being. And for goodness sakes; he gave me the name which I go by today, so that I would not have to bare the burden of being named after a heretic. For this and much more, he is the Greatest Rabbi I have ever spoken to, and his passing has left me utterly devestated.</div> <div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-size:10px;line-height:11px;direction:ltr;padding:3px 5px 5px">(4/8/2013 7:59:20 AM)<br></div></div><div style="margin:12px auto;color:rgb(136,0,0);font-size:medium;line-height:20px;font-family:Arial;width:450px;background-color:rgb(242,244,247);direction:ltr"> <div style="margin:0px 0px 6px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;line-height:17px;direction:ltr;width:400px;padding:5px"><span style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px;line-height:18px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(194,71,71)">95</span><br> <div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(126,99,99);font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;line-height:16px;direction:ltr;padding:5px 5px 2px 0px">from emee and family<br></div>our hearts go out to dena, to his children, mother, siblings.......moshiach now!</div> <div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-size:10px;line-height:11px;direction:ltr;padding:3px 5px 5px">(4/8/2013 8:14:35 AM)<br></div></div><div style="margin:12px auto;color:rgb(136,0,0);font-size:medium;line-height:20px;font-family:Arial;width:450px;background-color:rgb(242,244,247);direction:ltr"> <div style="margin:0px 0px 6px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;line-height:17px;direction:ltr;width:400px;padding:5px"><span style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px;line-height:18px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(194,71,71)">96</span><br> <div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(126,99,99);font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;line-height:16px;direction:ltr;padding:5px 5px 2px 0px">Baruch Dayan Emes<br></div>I am in total shock.

Dubrowski in as meaningful way as he touched me. My life today would be vastly different if I had not met R.D. I would like to add something to all the praises offered by the other posts. Besides his gentle soul, generosity of spirit, and vast knowledge in Judaism and Chassidus, R.D. had a keen knowledge of secular areas as well, from economics to literature to psychiatry to history to medicine. On several occasions I shared with him thoughts on secular books I had recently read and he always surprised me with the breadth and depth of his knowledge in surprising, even shocking areas. <br> <br>Several posts spoke about his keen attention to people. He had the ability to make people truly feel special. I once asked him about this: "R. Dubrowski, is this some kind of act? If so you are an incredible actor!"

I was a teenager then, in need of spiritual guidace. Due to the proximity of our homes, I became the children's babysitter. I was welcomed into an open, loving home where I spent many hours far after my official babysitting hours were over. This yeilded a bond and friendship that has been maintained for over two decades, despite the fact that thousands of miles separate us. Today I live in Israel with my husband and children, who have all been touched by the bond that the familes share. Our children adored Rabbi Dubrawsky, His warmth, acceptance, and ability to talk to every individual openly and genuinely made him an exceptional human being. We considered him our pesonal rabbi and are devestated by the loss.

However, when someone is a part of oneself then that person's memory is a living one. Lipa is my Rav and guide. I still conduct myself in accordance to Lipa's instructions and advice. Such as to always look for the positive points and those issues which unite people. And the psak halacha he gave Wendy o.b.m and me that even though our shabbos hot water urn was on a fleishig belch we could dring in milchig cups from it. This prevented the possibility of arguments.</font></div> <div><font size="4"> Lipa always stressed the point that one has to one true self as much as possible. I adopted this as a life long pursuit. At times we all fill that the weight of our pain both general and private is simply overwhelming. That is why we have each other as Lipa told me do not carry the wight alone.</font></div> <div><font size="4"> Dena, you always use to ask me where my better half was. Wendy is gone fro almost three very long years. But she is in me still behave as she educated me to behave. The Rebbe Melech HaMoschish explains regarding the Histalkus of the Rayatz, that passing is a change of state. The connection is in the higher realms and stronger.</font></div> <div><font size="4"> It was very nice to see Meir in Yerushalim and I wish you all from my heart only happy times and I am here should you need anything.

Months that have been some of the most painful and difficult of my life. I have found myself thinking of Rabbi Dubrawsky almost every day since. I am not sure what to say other than that I feel such a strong connection to him. A connection that as I write this is pulling me back and forth from comfort to pain. Growing up in Vancouver and going to Chabad must be one of the biggest privileges that a young Jewish person can have. For my frumkeit, every time I thought that what I was doing just was not working I could always feel and see that spark that Rabbi Dubrawsky so humbly passed on to me every time we had an interaction. My interactions with him were never long and often times did not extend beyond, "Hi Rabbi, how are you?" or "Good Shabbos, Rabbi." The response would almost always be the same, a smile and a deep look into my eyes. If he saw something that was out of the ordinary - maybe in the way I looked back at him or just simply with his ability to look into a persons thoughts and feelings without a word - he would ask me, "Are you ok?" or "How is Yeshiva?" and when I responded just with an ok he would smile at me knowingly and nod his head a couple times. I miss these interactions so dearly. Seeing the most unbelievably grounded Jew once a week and often times many more than that was something that I will forever keep with me. I miss you so terribly Rabbi Dubrawsky and as I struggle through yeshiva your neshama guides me.<div><br></div><div>To Mendy, Meir and the rest of the family, I wish you all long lives filled with all of the Torah that your father and husband left with you.<br><br>JJ</div> </div>Rabbi Lipa Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13074187434388973314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481635624220129057.post-45136938641292670542013-05-29T15:29:00.000-07:002013-05-30T05:27:02.348-07:00<div align="left" dir="ltr">

<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
Hi Dena, <br />
<div>
Shimon and I have tried phoning a few times, but leaving a message seems completely inappropriate. We wanted you to know how deeply sorry we are for your loss. I deal with death every day at work and yet, the news of your husbands' passing was completely devastating. It has hurt us to our very core. I can't even imagine what you are going through. We keep reading the blog about his life and impact on other people. It makes us smile to see how many people he impacted in this world. Shimon sincerely wanted to get on a plane and be in new york, however, his back doctor nixed it.</div>
<div>
Your husband was such an incredible man. It was evident in his children, his congregation and his wife. He literally glowed. You could see the riotousness in his face and entire being. I truly believe that he was put on this earth to be a figure of all that is good and noble in our faith. I remember coming to your home when our kids were young. Your husband would simply give the big kids a look, and before you knew it, they would whisk our kids off so that Shimon and I could enjoy our meal. In all of my 43 years of life, your husband is the only Rabbinic figure that has ever made me truly feel spiritual. Shimon and I have always considered him as "our Rabbi", even in San Diego.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are such an amazing and strong woman. Your children are a reflection of the incredible partnership that that you shared with your husband. You have both been such a fabulous example of how to live life as a Jew. I can only imagine (knowing them) that they will be a source of support for you during this time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are sending you our love and deepest sympathies. We pray that Hashem brings you comfort during this time and strength moving forward. We love you and offer you our support as well. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shimon and Liza</div>

Always consider to whom you are talking so that the advice you give that person matches him or her and is a real help. And be gentle.

<br>taught us Tora with great clarity.
<br>His teachings brought light to the whole world and that light will
<br>shine forever in our minds.
<br>Rabbi Dubrawsky's intense love for Hashem constantly pulled his heart
<br>towards his Creator.
<br>His unparalleled love for all those around him gave him eyes that saw
<br>only the good in others. He focussed on the pure G-dly soul at the
<br>core of all Jews and dedicated his life to care, assist and elevate
<br>them with total devotion.
<br>Now he is enjoying the Real Life.
<br>May his family find comfort and be materially and spiritually blessed.
<br>Zechuto yagen aleinu and bring Moshiach very soon.

<br>
<br>Words cannot describe the shock and pain we feel with the very sudden passing of the Rabbi. We are heartbroken. It hurts so much to think we will never sit at your table to listen to the wisdom of Rabbi Dubrawsky.
<br>
<br>To both Stan and I he was a true friend, an incredible teacher who inspired us to live a Torah life by reaching our fullest potential. We always felt so excited to see him and to hear his precious words of advice. The most impressive thing of all was his refined way of speaking and the way he treated us.
<br>
<br>Stan and I feel that both the Rabbi and Dena are like family to us and we treasure all the moments we spend together.
<br>
<br>May his memory be for a blessings and may Dena and the family find comfort and peace.
<br>

Yeshiva was a place you learned. You sat and learned. As if to suggest that wherever you sit and learn …that is Yeshiva! And Yeshiva never ends. Programs end with certificates but true learning never stops. The true mark of a Rav is not the certificate he earned but the life of Torah that he leads.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>When Pirkei Avot exhorts us to “sit amid the dust of their (the sages) feet, and drink in their words with thirst” the authenticity of the sage we visualize in our mind’s eye is the iconic image of an ancient Tanna, or a Rishon of the Middle Ages, perhaps a shtetl Rav – Rabbi Dubrawsky was, for many of us, …that Sage. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>“…. the Vilna Gaon, quoted by his brother (Maalos HaTorah), taught that the number 613 cannot mean that those are the only acts that the Torah either requires or forbids. From the beginning of the Torah until Parashash Bo – a total of sixty-one chapters – there are only three commandments. In addition, there are many other chapters that contain no commandments. It is illogical to say that so much of the Torah is without any expression of G-d’s will. <o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i> Rather, the Gaon explains, the 613 commandments are like the roots of a tree. From the roots grows the trunk, from which grow the branches, twigs, leaves and fruits. So too, every word of the Torah is an expression of G-d’s will, so that “everyone with a discerning eye and an understanding heart” can obey G-d’s will constantly at every moment. Thus, every activity in life should be an emanation of G-d’s will, even though it is not technically on of the 613 commandments.” </i>- Rabbi Nosson Scherman, in his overview to the book The Six Constant Mitzvos <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So often the measure of “frumkeit” is reduced to check-marks on a list: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst style='margin-left:20.25pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Keeps Shabbos ….

The way he gave shiurim, the way he answered questions, his gentle patience with all around him …. his humour. His Shabbos table – was the definitive Shabbos table… Torah, Torah, Torah. Five minutes of Kli Yakar on Shabbat morning was a cosmic call to your Neshama not just a nice thought on the Parsha.

Each time I happened to notice him walking either towards Chabad or towards his house it always brought a smile to my face and brightened my day just to have seen him.<div> <br></div><div>Many people have written many heartfelt, beautiful and eloquent things about our beloved Rabbi. It is really quite stunning how many people Rabbi Dubraswsky (z"l) touched and had a profound and lasting effect on. Of course, it is also well known that behind every great man there is a strong woman. Dena you were undoubtedly Rabbi Dubrawsky's (z"l) greatest strength, the two of you were definitely a team.</div> <div>Being invited to your Shabbat or Yom Tov table was always special and the food was always plentiful and delicious. However, not only were our bodies nourished with food - our souls were nourished listening to wonderful Chassidic stories or insights into the weekly Parsha. I often remember noticing how all the guests would be eating and drinking and listening to the Rabbi and at the end of the meal the plates would be cleared and somehow, Rabbi D. (z'l" never quite managed to finish what was on his plate as he had been so focussed on educating and imparting his brilliant knowledge to his guests.</div> <div><br></div><div>My husband and I joined the couples study group which met every other Wednesday, about a year and a half ago. We were so honoured to be invited to join this very special group. I think that Dena and Rabbi Dubrawsky (z"l) enjoyed these evenings as much as each of us did. It was really through these classes that we got to know Rabbi D. (z'l) and Dena so much better. I fondly recall Rabbi Dubrawsky's (z"l) reaction when one of us made an intelligent comment or came up with an insight. He would say "oh oh - zer gut!" We need a L'Chaim for that! Those L'Chaims were so special - even more so now. The brachas he gave us - "Only Good Things - Good Health - Only Simchas"! We all drank to those blessings, unaware that Hashem had other plans for Rabbi Dubrawski's (z"l) health in what proved to be a very swift and untimely way. I have no doubt that Rabbi D's neshama is raised so high up in heaven - and he is still sending us those blessings now - minus the scotch!</div> <div><br></div><div>One last thing I would like to share is that on my last visit to New York a couple of months ago - I made it a point to go and visit the Rebbe's grave in Queens. I would have to say that this was due to the influence of both Rabbi Dubrawsky (z"l) and Dena. It was a very powerful experience and one which I will repeat again with Ruben when we go to New York in June. This time there will be an extra grave to visit which is going to be very difficult.</div> <div><br></div><div>There is no doubt in our minds that Rabbi Dubrawsky's (z"l) neshama was too pure for this world. To us Rabbi D. (z'l) exemplified whatever we have learned that a Jew is meant to be. The same adjectives come to mind that everybody else has used - humble, great humility, gentle, encouraging, noble and dignified. Rabbi Dubrawsky (z"l) set the bar very high for all of us - and we should all be inspired to act in ways which would honour his memory. </div> <div><br></div><div>Our deepest and sincerest condolences go to Dena, all of the Dubrawsky children and their respective families. May Hashem strengthen you and comfort you and may you never know more pain or sorrow. </div> <div><br></div><div>Fondly,</div><div><br></div><div>Ruben and Brenda Grubner</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div> Rabbi Lipa Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13074187434388973314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481635624220129057.post-33553950635375697442013-04-25T15:48:00.001-07:002013-04-25T15:48:22.083-07:00There are no words to describe my deep grief<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <h3>There are no words to describe my deep grief</h3> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RU">Dear Dubrawsky family </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RU">There are no words to describe my deep grief feeling </span><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-CA">f</span><span lang="RU">or the decease of Rabbi Dubrawski.</span><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RU">I also have no words to describe my great appreciation of all the good things that I received from him and his family. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RU">It's been 23 years ago when I first met him it was in a class I attended at Chabad House in Vancouver.</span><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="RU">I was so impressed by him.

<br>The sorrow and shock that has swept through our community over the loss of you beloved husband and our beloved Rabbi is a reflection of how deeply and meaningfully he has touched the lives of so many. It is impossible to erase Rabbi Dubrawsky's presence out of our minds and hearts. I believe he will live forever through all of us in this community and when the passage of time eases the pain of loss we will be able to remember and we will be guided in our lives by his loving kindness.
<br>I am thinking of you and your beautiful family, sending my love and my deepest condolences.
<br>Charlotte

Zichron l'vraha.<BR> <BR>I would like to share my memory of speaking to Rabbi Dubrawsky back in 2005.<BR> <BR>I have been involved in creating and working on a watershed group called the False Creek Watershed Society since 2005. I had learned a great deal about the salmon that used to live in streams in Vancouver and I was teaching others about this. I gathered a lot of information on the importance of fish from the local First Nations who had lived in this area for thousands of years.<BR> <BR>But one day I wondered to myself: I am so involved with the story of this local fish - this very amazing important fish that is central to the Pacific Coast and the Fraser River. I am learning a lot about this from the local tribal people, of course. But I am also a nice Jewish girl from Montreal. My mother made gefilte fish on yontif and my father - who grew up in Latvia - loved his smoked sardines and white fish and pickled herring. <BR> <BR>My people were also once tribal people. I knew something about ecological Jewish wisdom. I even once founded a Jewish Environmental group in Vancouver called Adam va Adamah which was very active for eight years. Surely the Jewish people talk about the importance of fish in our lives today?<BR> <BR>So where should I go for this information? Why 1-800-Lubavitch, of course! I called and the receptionist tranferred me to Rabbi Dubrawsky. I will never forget what he told me. He spoke to me for quite a long time and very carefully explained without a moment's hesitation that - of course to Jewish people fish are a very sacred animal. And of course ritual around water is very important with the Mikvah and Netillat Yadayim. <BR> <BR>He told me the Hebrew word DAG is Daled Gimmel and that added together they make seven which is the holiest day of the week. That is why we eat fish on Shabbat. He said that fish were very special to Jews because they inhabited the "other world" - the world we are not a part of. He said that we need to treat the fish very carefully because unlike humans who can move to new places and thrive, the fish is dependent on a water medium. It takes a very misguided individual with a very negative intention to make a point of making life difficult for fish because they have to go far out of their way to distrurb his home. He told me it was very important in Judaism to treat fish with extra respect.<BR> <BR>How very interesting. This was very close to what the local First Nations said. And indeed the settlers who had come over in 1850 had very quickly clearcut the land and filled in the streams all over Vancouver. They had made a lot of effort taking away the homes of these animals. They thought the supply was infinite. Now we know better that the supply is not infinte but there is still too much destruction and these fish are disappearing. We would do well to follow the laws of the Jewish and First Nations people about not destorying fish habitat and respecting their homes.<BR> <BR>I was very grateful for Rabbi Dubrawsky's words and his explanation. I was very proud of my own religion for these thoughts for the fair treatment of this humble animal. I remember his words to this day and can still hear him telling them to me. I use the discussion of the fish inhabiting the "other world" all the time when I speak publicly about the importance and fish and water systems in our lives today. This is imperative - becuase if we unerstand the "other world" - the greater world - we understand everything and can better perform Tikkun Olam wherever we are.<BR> <BR>In my short interaction with Rabbi Dubrawsky, I could see that he was a great teacher. I'm sure he will be sorely missed. I know I always thought I wanted to search him out again to talk about the importance of fish in my own religion some more becuase he was obviously very knowledgable. And I am very saddened that now I cannot.<BR> <BR>I wish you all much strength.<BR>מיר זאָל זאַין געזונדט<BR> <BR>Celia Brauer<BR><a href="http://www.falsecreekwatershed.org">http://www.falsecreekwatershed.org</a><BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> </div>Rabbi Lipa Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13074187434388973314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481635624220129057.post-55841514284901510782013-04-23T21:58:00.001-07:002013-04-23T21:58:46.413-07:00Ari and Shoshana Schwartz<div class=WordSection1><p class=MsoNormal>BS'D<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rabbi Dubrawsky, My Rabbi, My Mashpiah, my mentor and Friend …<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>i haven't been able to think of much else for the last 2 weeks - in utter disbelief that he left us so suddenly … Rabbi D. was like a 'spiritual' father to me …<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>I met Rabbi Dubrawski about 15 years ago at the Hadassah Bazar where Chabad had a booth every year .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That year ( 1998) in the early years of my business we partcipated in the Hadasah Bazar and as Divine Providence would have it - our booth was located across the hall from Chabad , so I went over to the table, and met Rabbi D for the first time - he immediately invited me to a Farbrenghen at his house that week. I had no idea what a 'Farbrenghen' was - he told me to just come, something about him rang true to me , his sincerity, gentleness/kind approach - I was drawn to his energy from the get go . So I arrived at his house for the first time and tasted my first 'Farbrenghen' that was ultimately to change my life forever . I had been living in China for many years and had recently moved back to Canada , I was searching for more Spirituality in my life, and I sensed that there was tremendous depth in Judaism that I had never touched on , I started attending Rabbi D's classes and was invited for shabbes and yomtov meals at his house where I met his wonderful wife Dina and their adorable children , <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rabbi D's was like a magnet to my soul - after a few months Rabbi D arranged for me to go to NY for a shabaton in Crown Heights where he arranged for me to stay with his family , I ended up staying 2 weeks, and when I returned to Vancouver decided that I wanted to continue keeping the Holy Shabbes. my relationship to Rabbi D grew over the years , and under his guidance continued growing in my Yidishkeit , as he taught me more about Torah and Mitzvot and how to connect to something Higher . He encouraged me to take some time off and go to Israel to learn , and then he encouraged and councelled me on the path to find my soul mate. After my marriage to Shoshana - the Dubrawski's took Shoshana in , and she was immediately drawn to him aswell.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>He became our Rav, Mashpiah, confident, marriage councellor and good friend . There wasn't anything that we couldn't speak to Rabbi D about - no matter what it was , he always related to us with a gentle kindness and sensitivity. We will miss him terribly. I am greatful for having had him in my life for these years and know that his memory will stay alive in me and will be a source for Blessing for the rest of my life . <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>He taught me that Chassidim never really say good by , so I won't say good by to you Rabbi D, Mashiach should come very soon and we should be together again B'mheira ve yameinu !<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1027" style='position:absolute;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:50pt;height:50pt;z-index:251659264;visibility:hidden' coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="100" o:preferrelative="t" adj="0,,0" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="round" /> <v:formulas/> <v:path o:connecttype="segments" /> <o:lock v:ext="edit" selection="t" /> </v:shape><![endif]-->Ari & Shoshana Schwartz<o:p></o:p></span></p></div>Rabbi Lipa Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13074187434388973314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481635624220129057.post-11528571805827134382013-04-23T09:06:00.001-07:002013-04-23T09:06:14.444-07:00Memories of our beloved Rabbi Lipa<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><SPAN class=732074915-23042013><FONT face="Stylus BT"> </FONT></SPAN>Memories of our beloved Rabbi Lipa</SPAN><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN>There are no words to describe the pain and emptiness that the passing of</SPAN><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN>Rabbi Lipa has left......For the first few days I kept thinking that someone</SPAN><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN>was going to tap me on the shoulder and say it was all a bad dream, but he</SPAN><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN>is gone from this world, and must have moved on to a higher purpose.
