Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Parashas Ki Savo 5769
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

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Parashas Ki Seitzei 5769
Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Ki Seitzei 5769
Go out with joy
Introduction
This week’s parasha, Ki Seitzei, commences with the laws regarding the Jewish People going out to battle. Rashi writes that the battle referred to here is a discretionary battle, i.e. the Jewish People are not required to wage war against their enemies.

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Shoftim 5769
Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Shoftim 5769
Judges and kings
Introduction
In this week’s parashah we learn of the mitzvah of appointing Shoftim, judges, and subsequently we learn of the mitzvah to appoint a king over the Jewish People. While the function of the judge is to adjudicate rulings between quarreling parties, the function of the king is to rule over the people in a fair but firm manner. The question, however, is why the Torah… Continue

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Parashas Re’eh 5769
Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Re’eh 5769
The need to be vigilant throughout the month of Elul
Introduction
The month of Elul is approaching. What is required of us in this month of awe? The Medrash (Pirkei D’Rabbi Eliezer §46) states that on the first Rosh Chodesh Elul that the Jewish People were in the Wilderness, Moshe blew a Shofar, signifying to the Jewish People that they should be on guard when Moshe ascended upon high. This… Continue

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Eikev 5769
Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Eikev 5769
Transforming what we trample on towards HaShem
Introduction
This week’s parasha, Eikev, is unique that there does not appear to be an underlying theme to the parasha. The parasha commences with the blessing that the Jewish People will receive when they follow Hashem’s instructions. The Torah then exhorts the Jewish People that upon entering Eretz Yisroel they should not be intimidated by the might… Continue
