Tefillah: Birum Olam: Prayer stands at the Pinnacle of the World Volume I Issue 11
Tefillah: Birum Olam: Prayer stands at the Pinnacle of the World
Tefillah Thoughts
Praying with the Tzibur brings to holiness and this idea is reflected in Yitzchak
The Mishna in Avos (1:2) states that the world stands on three things: Torah, Avodah (service) and Gemilus Chasadim. The Pinei Menachem writes that these three ideas correspond to the three Patriarchs, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov. Avraham embodied the attribute of chesed,… Continue

After The Flood
By Rabbi Yaacov Haber
Noah and his family emerged from the ark. The population of the world was gone. All the men and women who had heckled Noah on a regular basis were missing.
It was not the same world that Noah had known. The Torah doesn’t record Noah’s emotions at that time. For us it would probably have been eerie, full of mixed feelings, overjoyed at the realization of survival, depressed at the massive destruction that lay before… Continue

Hashem's Magnificent Yom Kippur Miracle
Our sages say that those who enjoy the benefits of miracles have no idea that those miracles have been taking place. Nothing could be truer.
The blogosphere has been buzzing about an Iranian plot to destroy Israel, G-d forbid, this past Yom Kippur. When I first heard the story, I had serious doubts about its veracity. But, with more and more proof piling up, it looks like the real deal.
Hashem foiled an Iranian effort to contaminate Israel with over… Continue

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Parashas Noach 5769
Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Noach 5769
Noach and Shabbos
Introduction
This week the Torah discusses Noach, a person who is depicted as a righteous person and who is saved from the Great Flood that destroyed the populated world. Noach appears to be a mystery, however, as the commentators and even the Medrash struggle to understand what it was about Noach that he merited salivation. One Medrash (Bereishis Rabbah 29:1) even goes… Continue

A TALE OF TWO SOULS: A Peak into the Human Psyche
Like it or not, we are each engaged in a battle against our own set of mean genes. They are wily opponents too. Masters of the visceral, they control through satisfaction, pain, and pleasure.
(Dr.'s Terry Burnham and Jay Phelan, Mean Genes)
Destroy man's desire to sin, our sages tell us, and you would destroy the world.
Not that anyone needs to sin. But one who lacks the desire to sin is not a citizen of this world. And without citizens, who… Continue

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNREWARDED
11:28 relates that Haran Avraham’s younger brother died at Ur Chasdim. Rashi Z’L ZY’A as well as Targum Yonaton Ben Uziel ZY’A offers a remarkable back story.
Terach & Sons were idol manufactures as alluded to in the Midrash (Bereshit Rabbah 38:13 and End of Tana Di Bei Eliyahu and their various forms… Continue

Shabbos for the goyim - how is it different than our Shabbos?
I've learned on this that Shabbos is our intimate time with Hashem, and that it is inappropriate for someone not part of that close relationship to be there at our intimate times, and perhaps more so for Yom Tov.
A righteous gentile friend asked me today about Shabbos, about when it became instituted.
I thought to myself that of course it was during the first days of creation, per… Continue

Doreish Tov on Medrash Rabbah Parashas Noach 5769 (2-3)
Parashas Noach 5769
30:2 The Medrash states that it is said (Bereishis 6:9) eileh toldos Noach, these are the offspring of Noach. It is said (Iyov 24:18) kal hu al pinei mayim tikulal chelkasam baaretz lo yifneh derech keramim, he glides swiftly, as on the water’s surface; their portion in the land is forsaken; he does not turn to the way of the vineyards. The words kal hu al pinei mayim mean that it was decreed upon the Generation of the Flood that… Continue

Doreish Tov on Medrash Rabbah Parashas Noach 5769 (1)
Parashas Noach 5769
30:1 The Medrash states that it is said (Bereishis) eileh toldos Noach Noach ish tzaddik tamim, these are the offspring of Noach – Noach was a righteous man, perfect…. This is what is said (Mishlei 10:25) kaavor sufah viain rasha vitzaddik yesod olam, when the storm passes a wicked one is no more, but a righteous one is the foundation of the world. Kaavor sufah viain rasha refers to the Generation of the Flood and vitzaddik yesod… Continue
