BE YOURSELF THE FATE OF WORLD DEPENDS ON IT

The Zohar (III:117a) explains that until Bene Yisrael accepted the Torah and erected the Tabernacle creation was incomplete. As the Book of BaMidbar opens Bene Yisrael have accepted the Torah and built the Tabernacle creation was now a harmonious whole. Therefore, G-D wanted to know who would be the troops, those who would bring the Mitzvoth and Tabernacle to life by following G-D’s will. This is why Sefer BaMidbar begins with the counting of Bene Yisrael as well as the nation’s organization by… Continue

CELEBRATING THE GOOD LIGHT GETTING READY FOR THE WEDDING

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai is considered to possess a spark of Moses’ soul 9see Sefer Hilula D’Rashbi Lag B’Omer pg 30). However, the day of Moses’ death the 7th of Adar is marked as a day of mourning and Lag B’Omer the anniversary of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s passing is a day of celebration. Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Sperling ZT’L ZY’A (Sefer Ta’amei Minhagim U’Mikorei HaMinhagim pg.267 paragraph 1) cites a remarkable explanation, Moses was denied entry to the Land of Israel therefore the… Continue

FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF ISRAEL

FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF ISRAEL

 

BY: FERN SIDMAN

 

Now that the hoopla over the successful United States "hit" on arch terrorist Osama bin Laden has begun to fade into the annals of history, the stark realization that the US and the free world are still bereft of a concrete plan of action to stem the tide of al-Qaeda terrorism is beginning to set in. Having spent close to 10 years assiduously tracking down the elusive 9/11 mastermind, we hasten to remind the…

FAITH, THE TICKET HOME

An aspect of the 50 year cycle of Sabbatical and Jubilee years is that land sold during a Jubilee period would revert to the original hereditary owners at the start of the Jubilee ( see VaYikra 25:10, 13). 25:14-18 details that when real estate is conveyed the transfer is limited to the right to cultivate and harvest the land the ownership being limited till the Jubilee year. 25:25-28 teaches that if one sells ancestral lands the price is connected to the years remaining before the next… Continue

WHAT IT MEANS TO GO HOME.





The Fifth day in the Hebrew month of Iyar is observed as Yom   HaAzmaut, Israel

Independence Day. Those who follow in the footsteps of Rav Avraham Yitzchak

Kook ZT’L ZY’A consider the day as a time for rejoicing and praise. Others

whose tradition is aligned with the Lithuanian Yeshivoth and many Chassidic

courts view the day as something less. While some extreme elements take an

attitude towards the establishment of a Jewish State that requires them…
