Doreish Tov Shavuos 5769
Doreish Tov Shavuos 5769
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

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Bamidbar 5769
Peace through the actions of the wicked
Introduction
This week I was discussing with a friend of mine the name of the leader of the tribe of Shimon, Shlumiel Ben Tzurishaddai, whose name is mentioned in this week’s parashah (Bamidbar 2:12). I mentioned that the Ohr HaChaim (Bamidbar 7:36) writes that one possible reason that he was thus called was because his name alludes to the fact that… Continue

Sustenance Torah and Shabbos
Introduction
In the difficult economic times that are currently prevalent, it is worth noting that this week’s parasha provides the solution. It is said (Vayikra 26:3) im bichukosai teileichu, if you will follow My decrees. Rashi quotes the Toras Kohanim that interprets this verse to mean, “if you toil in Torah,” then you will receive all the… Continue

Sticking together
Introduction
In this week’s parasha, the Torah informs us of the man who was a son of an Egyptian man and a Jewish woman, who blasphemed using the Name of HaShem. This man was sentenced to death by stoning. The Medrash (Toras Kohanim) states that the background of this incident was that this man sought to pitch his tent in the encampment of the tribe of Dan, and he was informed… Continue

Honoring ones parents and Shabbos
Introduction
In this week’s parasha, Kedoshim, it is said (Vayikra 19:3) ish imo viaviv tirau vies Shabsosai tishmoru ani HaShem Elokeichem, every man: your mother and father shall you revere and My Shabbosos shall you observe – I am HaShem, your G-d. Why is the mitzvah of observing Shabbos juxtaposed to the mitzvah of fearing ones… Continue
