Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Shemini-Parah 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Shemini-Parah 5768



Shabbos in the Parashah

This week we read Parashas Parah, which discusses the laws of one who became defiled through corpse tumah and undergoes a purification process by having the ashes of the Parah Adumah, the Red Heifer, sprinkled on him. The Medrash (Pesikta Dirav Kahana 4:1) points out the paradox that lies within this statute. On the one hand, the person who was tamei, impure, becomes purified through the Parah Adumah, and on the… Continue

Toras Purim 5768

Toras Purim

(This can be confused at times with Purim Torah)



Introduction in lieu of a prelude



Well, once again we face the daunting task of writing Toras Purim, the only authentic Divrei Torah on Purim. How can this be, you wonder? Is all the Divrei Torah that we read regarding Purim not genuine? To answer that question, we have to explore the concept of copyright.

Shabbos in the Parashah

This week is Parashas Zachor, when we read aloud how Amalek, the archenemy of the Jewish People, sought to infiltrate the Jewish camp and they were defeated by Yehoshua and the Jewish army. We read Parashas Zachor prior to Purim as Haman, the enemy of the Jewish People in Persia, was a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king.

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Pekudei-Shekalim 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Pekudei-Shekalim 5768

Shabbos in the Parashah

This week’s parashah discusses the actual construction of the Mishkan and its completion. Additionally, this week is Parashas Shekalim and Rosh Chodesh Adar Sheinei. There is a very interesting association between all these dates and events. The Gemara (Megillah 13b) states that since HaShem knew that Haman would offer Achashveirosh ten thousand talents of silver as a price to be allowed to annihilate world Jewry,… Continue
