The Ultimate Festival of Joy: D’var Torah for Sukkot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Ultimate Festival of Joy: D’var Torah for Sukkot Every year, thousands of people stayed up all night and no one felt sleepy. This was for the Simchat Beit HaShoeivah, the celebration of the drawing of water, which took place in temple times during the Festival of Sukkot. In the Gemara Masechet Sukkah Daf נ"ג, Rav Yehoshua Ben Chenanya, says: “לֹא רָאִינוּ שֵׁנָה בְּעֵינֵינוּ"“We didn’t see sleep in our eyes." The Chatam Sofer asks, “What do you mean, we didn’t see sleep in our eyes?" If you’
The longest and shortest words in the Torah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Very few people know what the longest and shortest words in the Torah are. The longest word in the Torah is in the Book of Shemot: “וּבְמִשְׁאֲרוֹתֶיךָ"“And in your kneading troughs" This is a reference to what would happen in the plague of frogs, which would enter into every single part of the kitchens in the homes of the Egyptians.

Read excerpt
This coming motzei Shabbat, in Ashkenazi circles, we will be commencing our annual season of Selichot. Of course, Sephardim have already commenced the Selichot from the beginning of Elul, and we will all carry on with our Selichot until Yom HaKippurim. We follow the advice of the Rema and the Shulchan Aruch that we always start Selichot at least four days before Rosh Hashanah, and it must always start on motzei Shabbat. We do this in order to standardise the commencement time, so that everybody
Parashat Ki Tavo: Life in the world to come (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are numerous references in the Torah from which we can learn that there is ongoing life for the soul in the world to come - though the Torah never actually spells out the details of that life in its finest form - that’s because our Torah is a guide to life here on Earth. One such reference comes at the commencement of Parshat Ki Tavo: “וְהָיָה כִּי־תָבוֹא אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר ה' אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה"“And it shall come to pass when you enter into the land which the Lord your God gives
