Sukkot - the Four Species: Be an Etrog! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the central Mitzvot of Sukkot is shaking the lulav-bundle: “You will take for yourselves on the first day [of Sukkot] the fruit of a citron tree, date-palm branches, twigs of a plaited tree, and willows of the stream; and you will rejoice before Hashem your G-d for seven days" (Leviticus 23:40). The Midrash explains the Four Species to represent four different kinds of Jews: “Just as the etrog has both pleasant taste and pleasant fragrance, so there are Jews who have both Torah-learning a

לרפואת נריה דב בן חנה בתוך כל שאר חולי ישראל In three places (Exodus 23:16, Leviticus 23:33-44, and Deuteronomy 16:13-16) the Torah commands us to celebrate the Festival of Sukkot for seven days, beginning on the fifteenth of Tishrei. The first of these calls the Festival חַג הָאָסִף, “the Festival of the Ingathering, as the year goes out, when you ingather your work from the field". The other two call it חַג הַסֻּכֹּת (the Festival of Tabernacles). The commandment to dwell in the Sukkah appears
Rosh Hashanah: A happy and sweet new year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Less than two weeks ago we read the תּוֹכָחָה, tochachah (reprimand) - the frightening and sobering reprimand and warning of the curses that Hashem would inflict upon us as a punishment for transgressing His mitzvot (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Parashat Ki Tavo, which contains the תּוֹכָחָה, is invariably read on the penultimate Shabbat of the year. This is a deliberate decision, and the Talmud records both its origin and its reason: “Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: Ezra decreed that Israel would read

Ever since the yearly cycle of Torah readings was standardised towards the end of the Second Temple era, and the fixed calendar as calculated by Hillel II (Hillel ben Yehudah, Nasi or head of the Sanhedrin) was adopted in 4119 (359 C.E.), we have invariably read Parashat Nitzavim on the final Shabbat of the year; usually (as this year) combined with Parashat Vayeilech, sometimes alone. Parashat Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20) concludes Moshe’s third farewell discourse, the discourse which bega

Parashat Ki Teitzei contains 74 mitzvot, 27 positive and 47 negative. The first of these, which is the 532nd Mitzvah in the Torah, the 210th positive Mitzvah, is the Mitzvah with which Parashat Ki Teitzei opens: “When you go out to war against your enemies, and Hashem your G-d will deliver them into your hands, and you take captives - if you see a beautiful woman in her captivity and you desire her, and you take her as a wife, then you must bring her into your house, where she shaves her hair...
