We are calling on all Jews throughout the world to recite a verse of tehillim at a particular time to beg for Hashem's mercy to have Gilad Shalit released. We would like this to take place on Wed. July 2 (כ"ט סיון) the Hebrew calendar date of the second anniversary of his abduction. Please mark the date and pass this message on to as many people as possible (see attachment below).
Thanks
Noach…

Making The Heart Decisions
By Rabbi Yaacov Haber
Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.
The children of Korach were in a dilemma.
They were sitting with their father when Moshe and his entourage walked by. Who could not stand up for Moshe?
On the other hand, they knew how their father Korach felt toward Moshe. They knew if they stood up for the leader of the Jewish…

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Korach 5768
Shabbos in the Parashah
In this week’s parashah the Torah records the rebellion that Korach staged against Moshe. Every year we are confounded by the audacity of Korach and his entourage as they attempt to persuade the Jewish People that Korach is the correct person for the job, i.e. leading the Jewish People and Moshe and Aharon should step down. One may be led to draw a parallel of this scenario to the current Israeli-Palestinian…

Rabbi Nechunyah teaches that humanity’s independence is very limited. People’s lives are circumscribed by powerful outside forces. The positive, empowering aspect is one can choose which type of powerful force one is subject to. However, it is inescapable each person is subject to a yoke, something beyond oneself.
The choices are the Yoke Of Torah or the Yoke Of Government and Livelihood. Rabbi Ovadia Bartenuera ZY’A defines Yoke Of Government and Livelihood as the burden officialdom…

LEVI ASSISTS THE COHANIM
במדבר פרק יח ב וְגַם אֶת-אַחֶיךָ מַטֵּה לֵוִי שֵׁבֶט אָבִיךָ הַקְרֵב אִתָּךְ וְיִלָּווּ עָלֶיךָ וִישָׁרֲתוּךָ וְאַתָּה וּבָנֶיךָ אִתָּךְ לִפְנֵי אֹהֶל הָעֵדֻת
The avodah of the Leviim is the “guarding” which they do for the Mishkan in addition to the Cohanim. Plus, their avodah includes unique services, such as the singing and carrying the items of the Mishkan on their shoulders. The Leviim accept their secondary role which is to…

By Rabbi Yaacov Haber
One of the greatest tragedies of our times is when every once in a while a young man or women makes a decision to walk away from generations of tradition, from years of education, from the love and encouragement of his or her parents to embrace a way that our fathers did not know. We watch in bewilderment when children from the best families and communities leave the fold.
Who are these children? Are they the rough and tough kids that make us feel…

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Shelach 5768
Shabbos in the Parashah
In this week’s parashah the Torah records the incident of the meraglim, the spies who Moshe sent to Eretz Yisroel to report regarding the virtues of the Land. They returned with a slanderous report and this was the catalyst for the Jewish People wandering in the Wilderness for forty years, and this also was the cause of the future destruction of the first and second Bais HaMikdash. We struggle to understand the…

One reading this Mishna may come away thinking government cannot be trusted. The Mishna casts politicians as being solely motivated by self interest. Politicians cultivate friendships to achieve an advantage but abandon a friend when s/he becomes a liability or an inconvenience.
Yet, Rabbi Chanayah the deputy of the Chohanim taught in Avoth 3:2 that government is deserving of one’s prayers because it serves the essential function of maintaining order and thereby facilitating civility…

EXTENT OF SUPPLICATIONS
במדבר פרק יד ו
ִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן-נוּן וְכָלֵב בֶּן-יְפֻנֶּה מִן-הַתָּרִים אֶת-הָאָרֶץ קָרְעוּ בִּגְדֵיהֶם:
מסכת תענית דף יד/ב
ר' אלעזר לא הכל בקריעה ולא הכל בנפילה משה ואהרן בנפילה יהושע וכלב בקריעה משה ואהרן בנפילה דכתיב ויפל משה ואהרן על פניהם יהושע וכלב בקריעה דכתיב ויהושע בן נון וכלב בן יפנה קרעו בגדיהם
Moshe & Aharon “fell on their faces” while Yehoshua and Calev tore their clothes. The supplication of “falling on…
