Rabbi Shimon’s teaching about prayer appears to contradict Shamai’s comment in 1:15. As Shimon HaZaddik in 1:2 taught both Torah and Worship are two legs of the tripod upon the which the world stands. Yet Shamai’s teaching calls for Torah study be keva, fixed. Yet, Rabbi Shimon teaches that prayer not be keva.
Torah Study and prayer appear as equal elements of Jewish life, yet the sages instruct placing each in a different place. My Rosh Yeshivah Rabbi Henoch Liebowitz ZT’L ZY’A often commented… Continue
There is nothing that brings out my identity crises more than living in Eretz Yisroel on Yom Haatzmaut.
This week a large segment of Klal Yisroel will be celebrating G-d’s gift of the millennium to the Jewish People, Eretz Yisroel. The modern State of Israel presents a troubling contradiction. Moving to Israel or even coming to Israel for a visit can bring about an incomparable spiritual high on the one hand, and shock and disappointment on the other.
When my Rebbe, Rav Chaim P.Scheinberg, mov… Continue
Truth may need to be personalized.
In one community a certain product with a given hechsher may be kosher by the community standards, and in another community, not trusted to be kosher to their community standards.
Therefore the truth about whether a given food item meets my community's standards of kashrus is subjective, and based upon the trustworthiness credentials of those who evaluate hechshers.
On this basis I have been thinking that in accordance with the two views discussed in a recen… Continue

The Jewish Summer season starts the day after Pesach and ends with the holiday cycle of Rosh HaShanah-Yom Kippur and Succoth. This period is punctuated with the anticipation of the law giving at Shavouth, the cultivation and harvesting one’s fields and orchards thereby securing one’s livelihood for the coming year. The recognition that no matter what the present has to offer the gnawing pain of exile and yearning for redemption yielding to the introspection and resolve of Elul. The weekly recita… Continue

The Eastern gates to the Courtyard of the Beis HaMikdash in Jerusalem were called “Shaarei Nikoner” or the gates of Nikoner. They were beautiful bronzed structures that greeted the guests as they arrived from all over the land.
Why are they called “Gates of Nikoner”? Nikoner was a Greek general during the Hashmonean era. When Antiochus’s nephew decided to remodel the Beis HaMikdash, he used his resources to import artifacts from the best craftsmen in the known world. He c… Continue

This Shabbos is Shevii Shel Pesach, the seventh day of Pesach. Although the festival of Pesach is one long eight-day holiday, the seventh day of Pesach bears its own uniqueness. What is so special about the seventh day of Pesach? Rashi quotes the Medrash that states that the Jewish People were liberated from Egypt on the fifteenth of Nissan, which is the first day of Pesach, and on the twenty-first of Nissan, which was the… Continue

What if one knew the world one knew was ending tomorrow how would one behave? What if one experienced an event so profound that any neutral observer would be affected so fundamentally that the notion of life altering would be a woefully inadequate description. Then again how would one know the significance of the events one lives through?
Questions like this come up in connection with the last day of Passover. The concluding day of the festival in Eretz Yisrael is called “the Seventh of Passove… Continue

The Passing of the Rosh HaYeshiva ZT’L ZY’A exemplifies this concept. While the Successor Roshei Yeshiva Rabbis Harris and Grunblatt are without a doubt faithful stewards of the Yeshiva’s legacy however, a seed change has taken place, the Yeshiva will no longer be the same.

The Haggada’s author wishes to convey G-D’s promise of deliverance made to Avraham Avinu (Bereshith 15:13-14) was not meant for one time but all time. The Zera Shimshon ZTV’L asks why does the text use generations and not nations? After all, some places in the Diaspora were better than others. Yet the intensity of the exile is in rea… Continue

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Metzora 5768
Shabbos in the Parashah
In this week’s parashah the Torah continues to discuss the laws of one who is afflicted with tzaraas, the biblical version of leprosy. Yet, this affliction defies our imagination, as we are not witnesses to such an affliction in our times. The Ramban (Vayikra 13:47) writes that tzaraas was only prevalent when the Jewish People were on the level that even a slight sin would be borne out by a manifestation of tzaraas on either their clo… Continue

For the children of Israel are servants to Me; they are My servants, whom I took out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord, your God. (Vayikra 25:55)
Rav Yitzchak Blazer explains that Hashem took us out of Egypt so that we would be his servants by being constantly involved in learning Torah and doing mitvoth. This is the reason why Hashem made the Torah so vast and the Mitvoth so many.
Pesach is a time when we should all strive to become servants to our Creator. This is no simple matter and take… Continue

In this week’s parsha we learn about the diagnosis and treatment of “tzoraas” (a leprous disease, which one would suffer because of some moral failing) by a kohen. The kohen might observe a whitish sore on the person’s skin, and, if he diagnosed it as “tzoraas”, he would declare the person “tamei” (inadequately translated as “unclean” or “impure"). In general, the whiter the sore, and the larger the area it covered, the more “tamei” the person would be; but—and here is a remarkable thing—once th… Continue
I must confess that I have had a very difficult time davening tonight, as at every moment thoughts of the video where Peres tells our youth that "History, Torah, and heritage should be stored on a computer to be remembered", kept poping up constantly.

In the meanwhile, here is an original Hebrew fresh-off-the-press recording of Rav Shalom Arush shlit'a, who has asked us to spread this message far and wide. In the coming hours, G-d willing, we'll summarize the Rav's key points in English.
In The Midrash Says on Vayikra, in Parshas Tazria (page 119 in my edition), there is an interesting discussion of Bris Mila following an explanation by Rabbi Akiva, that explains that on the day of the great and final Judgement, Avraham Avinu will be stationed at the entrance to Gehinnom ... and will not permit that anyone with a Bris Milah be sent to Gehinnom.
It continues with an explanation that for hardened sinners who had a Bris Mila, that Avraham will remove the foreskins of infants who p… Continue
Depending on who and when you ask the Jewish year either begins in the month of Tishrei, at Rosh Hashanah time, or a couple of weeks before Pesach in Nissan.
Why do we have two new years?
The answer lies in the season of each New Year. Tishrei and Rosh Hashanah occur in the fall when the trees are becoming bare, the sun is shining less and the harvest is coming to a close. There is a certain spirituality implicit in this season of autumn. When the physical world is in decline room is created f… Continue

We know that on Shabbos one is prohibited from mourning publicly and one is forbidden to cry on Shabbos. Yet, it is worth taking a closer look inside this week’s parashah for a lesson that we can all glean from this shocking episode. It is said (Vayikra 12:1-2) vayidabeir HaShe… Continue

The Medrash (Pesikta Dirav Kahana 4:1) points out the paradox that lies within this statute. On the one hand, the person who was tamei, impure, becomes purified through the Parah Adumah, and on the other hand, the K… Continue

Well, once again we face the daunting task of writing Toras Purim, the only authentic Divrei Torah on Purim. How can this be, you wonder? Is all the Divrei Torah that we read regarding Purim not genuine? To answer that question, we have to explore the concept of copyright.
