Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Emor 5770

Sacrificing one’s life for HaShem’s Name can only be done altruistically

Introduction

ולא תחללו את שם קדשי ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל אני ה' מקדשכם, you shall not desecrate My holy Name, rather I should be sanctified among the children of Israel; I am HaShem Who sanctifies you. (Vayikra 22:32)

The Torah instructs us regarding a commandment that appears to be very simple to fulfill. Nonetheless, if one is… Continue

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Sukkos 5770

Sukkos and the World to Come

Introduction

It is fascinating that following Yom Kippur, we celebrate the festival of Sukkos. The Vilna Gaon maintains that the Jewish People in the wilderness receive atonement for the sin of the Golden Calf on Yom Kippur, and the building of the Mishkan commenced on Sukkos. Thus, the Clouds of Glory, which had departed because of the sin, retuned on Sukkos. In commemoration of… Continue

Standing and Kingship

Introduction

Last week’s parasha, Nitzavim, commences with the words (Devarim 29:9) atem nitzavim hayom kulchem lifnei HaShem Elokeichem rosheichem shivteichem zikneichem vishofteichem kol ish Yisroel¸ you are standing today, all of you, before HaShem, your G-d: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers – all the men of Israel.

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Parashas Behaaloscha 5769

שבת טעם החיים פרשת בהעלותך תשס"ט

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Behaaloscha 5769

The ups and downs of life

Introduction

In this week’s parasha there appears to be an underlying theme throughout all the episodes that the Torah mentions. This theme is the idea of contrast. We find in the beginning of the parashah that Aharon is disturbed that he and the tribe of Levi were not involved in the dedication of the Mishkan, until HaShem consoles him by informing him that he… Continue

Tefillah: Birum Olam: Prayer stands at the Pinnacle of the World

Volume I Issue 16

Tefillah Thoughts

Hashem answers before we pray

We are currently discussing the verse that states (Yeshaya 65:24) vihayah terem yikrau vaani eeneh od heim midabrim vaani eshma, it will be before that they call I will answer; while they yet speak I will hear. What does it mean that HaShem will respond before they even call out? It would seem to be… Continue

Tefillah Thoughts

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Behaaloscha 5768

Shabbos in the Parashah

In this week’s parashah the Torah records that Moshe requested from his father-in-law, Yisro, that he continue journeying with the Jewish People. It is said (Bamidbar 10:29-33) vayomer Moshe liChovav ben Reuel haMidiani chosen Moshe nosim anachnu el hamakom asher amar HaShem oso etain lachem lecho itanu viheitavnu loch ki HaShem diber tov al Yisroel, vayomer eilav lo eileich ki im el artzi viel moladiti… Continue
