Parshat Ha’azinu: The makings of a brachah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s Parshah, Parshat Ha’azinu, contains the commandment, "Remember world history, study the generational epochs. Ask your father and he will relate to you, your elders and they will tell you (Devarim, 32:7)." Rashi explains, that in this context, asking "your father" is actually a reference to a prophet; this is based on the possuk in Navi, which describes Elisha’s reaction to the ascendance of his beloved teacher, Eliyahu Hanavi, to Heaven; the Navi writes, "Elisha saw it, and he cried
Rosh HaShanah: The Gates of Tears are Never Closed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The primary commandment of Rosh HaShanah is the blowing of the Shofar. While Rambam writes that this Mitzvah, at its core, is a “חוק"---divine decree which we cannot fully understand-a simple allusion to take from the Mitzvah is the idea of “waking up"; the Mitzvah is a call to action, and arouse ourselves from slumber. Additionally, the Shofar is specifically taken from the horn of a ram [ideally] in order to recall the moving sacrifice of Avraham, who was willing to offer his most precious son
How strife can lay the seeds of Redemption (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s Parshah is Parshat Re’eh; the Parshah begins with Moshe’s admonition that Hashem has placed in front of the Jews two choices-blessing and life, if the path of the Torah and Judaism is followed, or an accursed existence of turmoil and strife, G-d forbid, if Am Yisrael neglects its commitments. Interestingly, Hadar Zekeinim notes that the Torah stresses that this choice was placed “היום-today" in front of the Jews, for when the redemption occurs, speedily in our days, the evil inclinat
Eikev: The Benefit of Holy Encounters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this week’s Parshah, Parshat Eikev, the Torah continues with Moshe’s last words to Am Yisrael; additionally, the commandment for Birchat Hamazon is found in this portion, thereby establishing a Biblical obligation to Bentch after a significant bread meal. Interestingly, according to most Halachic authorities, Birchat HaMazon and the blessing on the Torah [Birchat HaTorah] are the only two Berachot [blessings] that are Biblical Mitzvot. However, one of the most mystifying Gemarot also has its
Matos-Masei: Our own worst enemy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Parshat Matos contains the actual details of the battle that the Jews undertook against the nation of Midian, in retribution for their conspiring to annihilate the Jews, first physically, using the sources of Bilaam the sorcerer, and then spiritually, by causing the Jews to fall into the sins of immorality and idolatry. As discussed last week, the battle was led by the great Pinchas, who fought with the added element of vengeance for his ancestor Yosef’s sale as a slave. Yosef’s original purchas
