King Dovid can be found in Sodom
Introduction
I have found my servant, David. And where did I find him? In Sodom (Bereishis Rabbah 44:1)
In this week’s parasha we learn how HaShem was prepared to destroy the ancient city of Sodom and its surroundings on account of the decadence of the inhabitants. Avraham prayed on behalf of the people of Sodom, hoping that HaShem would acknowledge that there were some… Continue

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Ki Savo 5769
Hear the “words”
Introduction
Parashas Ki Savo is always deemed to be a frightening parashah. Despite its benign beginning, the majority of the parasha discusses the devastating punishment that HaShem will bring upon the Jewish People if they do not observe HaShem’s will. There is even a custom in most synagogues to read the portion of the Tochacha, the Rebuke, in an undertone, and this… Continue

Less joy leads to the ultimate joy
Introduction
In this week’s parasha we learn of how Moshe requested from HaShem that he be granted entry into Eretz Yisroel. After entreating HaShem with numerous supplications, it is said (Devarim 3:26) vayisabeir HaShem bi limaanchem vilo shama eilay vayomer HaShem eilay rav lach al tosef dabeir eilay od badavar hazeh, but HaShem became angry with me… Continue

Ignoring the media
Introduction
This week commences the period known as the bein hametzarim, the Three Weeks. What is the significance of these three weeks? We know that on the seventeenth of Tammuz, Nevuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, breached the walls of Jerusalem, and this siege culminated with the destruction of the first Bais HaMikdash on Tisha Baav. Thus, we are in a period of mourning… Continue

The holiday of plenty
Introduction
The holiday we are celebrating is referred to as Shavuos, which means weeks. While in the simple sense the holiday is thus called because of the seven weeks of the counting of the Omer that precede the holiday, we must understand why the holiday itself is referred to as Shavuos. Rashi (Yechezkel 45:21) writes that Pesach is referred to as Shavuos because it is on Pesach that we begin to… Continue

Listening and doing even if we do not understand
Introduction
This week’s parasha is Ki Sisa, and we also read Parashas Parah, where the Torah discusses the laws of one who became impure through corpse tumah is purified by having the ashes of the Parah Adumah, the Red Heifer, sprinkled on him. It is fascinating that according to Rabbi Moshe HaDarshan, the Parah Adumah was used as… Continue

Unity, Redemption and Shabbos
Introduction
In this week’s parasha the Torah records how the Egyptians were afflicted with the final three plagues and then HaShem redeemed the Jewish People from slavery. It is noteworthy that one aspect of the redemption is at times overlooked. It is said (Shemos 12:20-21) kol machmetzes lo socheilu bichol moshvosocheim tochlu matzos vayikra Moshe lichol… Continue

Extending Shabbos into the week
Introduction
In this weeks parasha we learn how Yosef reveals himself to his brothers after being separated from them for twenty two years. What is interesting about Yosef’s revelation is that he does not blame his brothers for selling him to Egypt. Rather, Yosef attributes his sale to Egypt for the good of his family. It is said (Bereishis 45:5)… Continue

Doreish Tov on Medrash Rabbah Parashas Vayishlach 5769 (1)
Parashas Vayishlach 5769
75:1
The Medrash
The Medrash states that it is said (Bereishis 32:4) vayishlach Yaakov malachim lifanav, then Yaakov sent angels ahead of him. Rabbi Pinchas in the name of Rabbi Reuven commenced with the verse that states (Tehillim 17:13) kumah HaShem kadmah fanav hachrieheiu paltah nafshi meirashah charbecha, rise up, HaShem, confront him and bring him to his knees; rescue my soul from the wicked one,… Continue

Shabbos and sustenance
Introduction
In this week’s parashah the Torah relates how Yaakov went to the house of Lavan in search of a wife. Lavan subsequently offered to compensate Yaakov for the labor that Yaakov performed and Lavan attempted to trick Yaakov out of his wages. The simple lesson from this incident is that one has to be cunning when engaged in business with someone who is… Continue
