Doing for Others. By Karen Berg.
This week’s portion is Ki Tetze, which opens with the words: Ki tetze la milchamah. This is normally translated to mean, “When you go forth to war.” Yet the word ki does not really mean when, but rather because. In a nutshell, the beginning of this week’s portion tells us: Because you go to war against your enemies, you are sure to be successful. So what is this about, all this talk of war and enemies? Thankfully, we have the Zohar and the wisdom of the great kabbalists to shed some Light. One thing we learn in our studies at the Centre is that what the Bible portion is speaking about is not an external enemy, but rather it is our own negative reactions we are meant to wage war against. The Rav would often say that the Armageddon war will be a war of thoughts, a war of consciousness.
It is interesting to note that we read the portion of Ki Tetze just two weeks before Rosh Hashanah. This week, make doing for others your true North. Wishing you a blessed week, Karen.

The first time I saw $1,000,000 in my bank account, I almost fainted. Even though I knew it was hitting my account, it still caught me off guard. Becoming a millionaire isn’t as far-fetched as you would believe. Rosh Hashanah Study Guide Week 3. Last week’s work was to look inward and make a written list of your unsavory leftovers – those aspects of yourself that should be removed from your vessel before coming to the heavenly court session at Rosh Hashanah.
Did you notice how the ego can even distort a spiritual process such as removing negativity? We consider our faults and think, “Aw, I'm not that bad…there are worse people out there…I'm going to work on this and then if I still have time, I'll work on that.” In order to unmask the ego in this negativity-removing process, this week I'd like you to approach four different people in your life and ask them to make a list of your garbage. This is key because, from our perspective, some things look worse than others. But there is nothing more destructive than our negative behaviors that hurt others.

Porter and Mark R. Kramer Harvard Business Review, January-February 2011 The capitalist system is under siege. In recent years business increasingly has been viewed as a major cause of social, environmental, and economic problems. Companies are widely perceived to be prospering at the expense of the broader community. Even worse, the more business has begun to embrace corporate responsibility, the more it has been blamed for society’s failures. A big part of the problem lies with companies themselves, which remain trapped in an outdated approach to value creation that has emerged over the past few decades.
What is shared value? The concept of shared value can be defined as policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. In the social sector, thinking in value terms is even less common.
