The Bride's Wilderness Laundromat The wilderness journey brings up all sorts of practical questions. Practical questions often lead to impractical, but not impossible, answers. Although the Israelites looted the Egyptians, it is unlikely that the garments lasted for forty years in the harsh desert. How did they keep up with the laundry? What about the children born who would need clothes of their own? Having done my laundry in the Aravah several times, I know from experience that clothes hung on a line to dry have a coating of sand by the time they dry and I take them down to fold them. The pillars of cloud and fire, as well as the cloud cover in which the Israelites walked, provided supernatural assistance in these practical questions. The hint is found in the following verses: “Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.” (Dt 8:4) “I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.” (Dt 29:5) Egyptian clothes surely wear out. The sandals even more so with a nation on foot. These supernatural garments and shoes must have come from somewhere. The Midrash explains: “From where did they obtain clothing to wear throughout the forty years that the people of Israel spent in the Wilderness? They were from what the ministering angels clothed them. Thus it is written, ‘I clothed you (Israel) in rikmah (Ezekiel 16:10). Rikmah is a royal garment.” (Midrash Rabbah Shir HaShirim 4§23) The hint in Ezekiel is that these splended, durable garments were garments of royalty, fit for a royal priesthood. They were also fit TO a royal priesthood. It was thought that the supernatural garments grew with the person like a shell grows with the chilazon, the snail from which techelet (blue) dye is extracted for tzitziyot to remind Israel of the mitzvot. From infant to adult, the garment grew. This helps us understand how the commandments grow with us when we continue to set our affection on what is above, learning to use what is below for the service of Heaven. The commandments become bigger and stronger in their protection and beauty as we grow because they are growing with us! This passage in Ezekiel is thought to describe Israel's bridal agreement to betrothal at Mount Sinai when they said, “We will do and we will hear”: “Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt [wing, kanaf] over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine,” declares the Lord GOD. Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil. I also clothed you with embroidered cloth [rikmah] and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck. I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth.” (Ezekiel 16:8-13) Israel the Bride was at the time for “love,” or able to Shma, to hear and to love with all her heart, soul, and strength. At that time, the ministering angels were thought to clothe Israel with miraculous garments that did not wear out and give them the sandals that did not wear out. They were also given two royal crowns, one for “we will do” and one for “we will hear.” After the golden calf, those crowns were taken away and the “jewelry” were retrieved, but the miraculous royal garments and sandals remained upon them. (Dt 8:4) Like the Kohen HaGadol, every member of the royal priesthood was clothed in “garments of honor and glory.” The Midrash asks: But did the clothing not need washing? “The pillar of cloud,

This evening we discuss two fascinating approaches to understanding Dalet Minim, the four species (Lulav, Etrog, Hadas, and Aravah) we take on Sukkot, based on an article by Dr. Arthur Schaffer, professor of Plant Biology. These approaches are based on a modern understanding of plant life in and around Israel today and in ancient times. We then explore a deeper understanding of the only Festival about which a movie will never be made, and the placid, transcendent experience of sitting in the Sukkah. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

Torah Portion "דברים/Devarim" which means "Words," delivered on August 6, 2022.This week's portion covers Deuteronomy/Devarim 1:1-3:22, and begins, "These are the words Moshe spoke to all Isra'el on the far side of the Yarden River, in the desert, in the ‘Aravah, across from Suf, between Pa'ran and Tofel, Lavan, Hatzerot and Di-Zahav. It is eleven days' journey from Horev to Kadesh-Barnea by way of Mount Se‘ir."The people of Israel are on the cusp of entering the promise given to Abraham over 400 years earlier and yet they need a pep talk from Moses. What are the three “eichas” that Ro'eh covers in this lesson? “Eicha” = alas, how, and with the same letters but pronounced differently, where. Why is complacency a snare? How can we overcome it? What happens if we don't? What caused the people of Israel to be a “burden” to Moses? Are we a similar burden to Our Father? Are we satisfied with thestatus quo (dayenu) and therefore lack the zeal to enter into the promises of Hashem? How can we balance contentment and patience with strength, zeal and wisdom?This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Ro'eh Richard from Isaiah 1:1-27, and the New Covenant teaching is delivered by Brother Mark from John 15:1-11.Please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about who our God is, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.Ro'eh Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefoundationoftheword.orgAaronic Priestly Blessing performed by Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries https://wisdomintorah.com and used by permission.

The Bet Halevi quotes the Gemarah in Mesechet Menachot 29: (Of) The four species of the Lulav, two of them have fruit (the etrog and the palm), and two of them do not have fruit (the Aravah and the Hasadim) Having or not having fruit symbolizes the productive Jew versus the Jew that is not productive. Nonetheless, one does not fulfill his obligation unless they are all together in Agudah Achat/ One group. So too, the Jewish people must be together in order for God to be happy with them. Regarding the Mitzvah of Lulav, this Gemarah says that the ones that have fruit need the ones that do not have fruit, and the same is true for the Jewish people. The pasuk is quoted: “God builds in the heavens, V'Agudato/and His bundle has a foundation on the ground.” The Gemarah explains this to mean that it is only when there is a foundation of unity and Agudah/a bundle, that God builds in the heavens. This concept is actually referred to in our Rosh Hashanah prayers. The Daat Zekenim, (Vayikrah 23,40) quotes from our prayers, where we say, UBechen, Ten Pachdecha… when we are asking Hashem to instill His fear into the world, and we end off with a prayer that everyone should make Agudah Achat/one group to do the Will of Hashem. There is an organization called Agudat Yisrael, and that name comes from this pasuk and from this Gemarah that We want to have an Agudah. The sefer Pardes Yosef (Bereshit 49,1) says something fascinating: There is a pasuk in Re'eh (14,1) בָּנִים אַתֶּם לַה׳ אֱלֹקיכֶם לֹא תִתְגֹּדְדוּ You are children to Hashem your God, Don't make separate groups This is a Halacha. You can't have a synagogue with different customs within it. It can't be that half the shul answers Kaddish one way, and the other half answers another way. It can't be that half the shul wears their tefilin on Hol HaMoed and half do not. Each shul can have their own customs, but in one shul, to have different groups is divisiveness. That is against the Halacha of לֹא תִתְגֹּדְדוּ/Do not make separate groups. The sefer asks what the connection is between the two halves of this pasuk: You're children of Hashem, Don't make separate groupings And he explains that the Jewish people are referred to both as children and servants of God, as we say on Rosh Hashanah in Hayom Harat Olam: Im K'Banim, Im K'Avadim God will decide whether to treat us like children or like servants. We want to be treated like children. Children obviously get preferential treatment. And when the Jewish people are in one grouping together, then we are considered children. But when we are separated, and not getting along like brothers, then we cannot be considered children. We can't have it both ways. If Hashem is my Father, and Hashem is his Father, that makes us brothers. But if we aren't brothers, than Hashem can not be our parent. So a lack of unity indicates a lack of being sons of Hashem. Therefore, we say that if we want God to treat us like sons, we have to be like brothers. That's what it means: לֹא תִתְגֹּדְדו/don't make separate groups, but rather be Agudah Achat/one group. Have a wonderful day.

Today's learning is sponsored Sponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click here Large stems of Aravah were brought from a place called Motza, in the valley below Yerushalayim. Summary We begin now the sugya of muktzah machmas mitzvah: If something is set aside for a mitzvah, it may not be handled for any other purpose. Rabbi Yochanan: An esrog is muktzeh all day on Hoshana Rabbah (although it's technically a weekday, there is still a “muktzeh”), but may be handled on Shemini Atzeres. The sukkah is forbidden even on Shemni Atzeres (this is because the sukkah is used all day, including the time of bein hashmashos which may already be the beginning of Shemini Atzeres). Reish Lakish: The esrog is permissible even on Hoshana Rabbah. Their argument is as follows: Reish Lakish holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rabbi Yochanan holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. Reish Lakish challenged Rabbi Yochanan from the mishna (35.6): “They would snatch the lulavim from the hands of the children and eat their esrogim”. So it seems that anyone can eat esrogim on Hoshana Rabbah because they are no longer muktzeh? Response: The mishna is discussing children specifically (either that their esrogim can be eaten since their mitzvah is not really a mitzvah, or that they can eat the esrogim). Some say: Rabbi Yochanan challenged Reish Lakish from the mishna (35.6): “They would snatch the lulavim from the hands of the children and eat their esrogim”. So it seems that only children can eat esrogim on Hoshana Rabbah but for adults, they're muktzeh? Response: The mishna does not intend to specify children, it is merely recording the custom of the children.

These were set up erect around the mizbeach and their tips bent over on the mizbeach. They would blow Tekiah Teruah and Tekiah blasts. Every day they would surround the mizbeach reciting “Ana Hashem hoshiah na, Ana Hashem hatzlicha na”. Rabbi Yehuda: They would say “Ani Veho hoshia na” [ Rashi: These are mystical names of Hashem derived from permutations of the verses ‘vayisa, vayavo, vayet' in Parshas Beshalach. Tosfos: A simple meaning is that when we are in trouble, Hashem is with us, Ani V'Hu]. On Hoshana Rabbah the mizbeach would be circled 7 times. When they finished the mitzvah they would say “Beauty belongs to you, mizbeach” [beauty belongs to the place of service of Hashem. That is why Yerushalayim is praised for its beauty as well]. Rabbi Eliezer: “Beauty belongs to Kah, and to you, mizbeach”. This mitzvah was fulfilled on Shabbos just as during the week, only that the aravos were picked on Friday and kept in gold basins so that they wouldn't wilt. Rabbi Yochanan ben Berokah: They would bring branches of a palm tree, lulavim, and strike it on the ground beside the mizbeach [Tiferes Yisroel: This was done on Shabbos because palm branches keep fresh longer than aravos]. That day was called “Chibut Chariyos” [striking of the palm branches]. They would snatch the lulavim from the hands of the children and eat their esrogim. [One pshat is that this was done out of simcha, like Tosfos brings that the young men used to dress like cavalry and feign battle maneuvers at a simchas chasuna. The esrogim are not considered muktzah because since they belong to children, it's not a real mitzvah. Another pshat is that the children would pull the lulavim out of its bundle, and they would eat their own esrogim].

Summary Gemara: Beraisa: That place was a colony of Rome. The reason our mishna calls it Motza is because it was exempt from head-tax. We learned in the mishna (35.6): The aravos were set up erect around the mizbeach and their tips bent over on the mizbeach. Beraisa: They were fresh and long and 11 amos high (a man is 4 amos high) so that they can lean over the mizbeach an amah. Mereimar from Mar Zutra: It must have been placed on the Yesod. How could it have been on the ground? [The mizbeach was not a shear wall 10 amos high] “The first amah was the yesod, it indented an amah, and then there was a 5 amah wall, it indented another amah for the soveiv, and then there was a three amah wall which was topped by the kranos.”* So how could an 11 amah aravah standing on the ground be bent one amah over the mizbeach? So we learn from here that it was placed on the Yesod. Rabbi Avahu: What is the scriptural source for surrounding the mizbeach with aravos? The possuk “Isru chag ba'avosim ad karnos hamizbeach - Bind the korban with ropes [slaughter it], and bring it near the corners of the mizbeach”. The word avosim can be understood to mean thickly foliaged branches, this possuk is telling us to bring these above the corners of the mizbeach. Rabbi Avahu quoting Rabbi Elazar: Anyone who takes the lulav bound, and the hadas when it is plaited, is considered as if he built a mizbeach and brought a korban on it, based on the abovementioned possuk.

It must be taken on its own, not with the lulav. One cannot fulfill his obligation with the Aravah that's bound in the lulav. Summary Chizkiyah quoting Rabbi Yirmiyah from Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai: I have seen the Bnei Aliyah and they're few. If they number a thousand, my son and I are among them. If they number a hundred, my son and I are among them. If there are only two, it's my son and me. Challenge: Are the tzaddikim so few? Rava: There are 18,000 generations [or rows] of tzaddikim before Hakadosh Baruch Hu, as it states “Eighteen thousand surround him” Resolution: There are many tzaddikim who can see Hashem with a lamp but there are few who can see Him with an illuminated lamp. Challenge: Are the tzaddikim who see Hashem with an illuminated lamp so few? Abayye: The world will always have at least 36 tzaddikim [who pray properly and] greet the shechina each day as it states “Praiseworthy is he who hopes to Him” ‘Him' is gematriya 36. Resolution: There are many who enter with permission but there are few who can enter without permission. We learned in the mishna (35.6): When they finished the mitzvah they would say “Beauty belongs to you, mizbeach” Rabbi Eliezer: “Beauty belongs to Kah, and to you, mizbeach”. Challenge: How can Rabbi Eliezer put something else on the same level as Hashem? Beraisa: Anyone who combines Hashem and something else is uprooted from the world, as it states: “Only for Hashem alone”. Resolution: It means: “We thank You Kah, and we praise you, mizbeach”. We learned in the mishna (35.6): Rabbi Yochanan ben Berokah: They would bring branches of a palm tree, lulavim, and strike it on the ground beside the mizbeach. That day was called “Chibut Chariyos” [striking of the palm branches]. Rav Huna: This is because Kapos is plural (26.2), one for the lulav and one for the mizbeach.* The Chachomim maintain that it is written in the singular form, Kapas. Rabbi Levi: The lulav is taken because it represents the praise of the Am Yisroel: Just as a palm tree has only one “heart” in the center of its trunk and not in all its branches, so too the Am Yisroel only have one interest; their father in Heaven. We do not seek entertainment, arts and war, our sole interest is Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

He learns from “Kapos - Plural” just as we learned (27.4) that “Arvei - Plural” teaches the two mitzvos of Aravah. Tosfos does not remain with this pshat.

Rabbah: There's an aravah taken with the lulav every day. Abayye: But that's taken because of the lulav. It is not picked up twice with different intentions. Rav Zvid from Rava: A zecher is made only to the mitzvah of lulav because it is a d'orayso. Challenge: Aravah is d'orayso too: Abba Shaul: It is written “arvei nachal” in plural, to teach about the two aravos one in the lulav and one taken on its own in the Beis Hamikdash. Rabbanan: It is a Halacha L'Moshe MiSinai. As taught (27.4) by Rabbi Asi quoting Rabbi Yochanan from Rabbi Nechunya of bikaas Beis Churson: The law of Ten Saplings [planted within a beis sa'asayim may be plowed up until shvi'is], Aravah, and Nisuch Hamayim are Halacha L'Moshe MiSinai. Rav Zvid from Rava: A zecher is made only to the mitzvah of lulav because it is d'orayso on the first day even outside of the Mikdash. Reish Lakish: Kohanim baalei mumin may enter the area between the Ulam and Mizbeach for the mitzvah of aravah [which can only be entered even by kohanim for the purpose of doing the avodah]. Rabbi Yochanan to Reish Lakish: Who permitted such a thing? Challenge: Rabbi Yochanan himself! After all, Rabbi Asi quoting Rabbi Yochanan from Rabbi Nechunya of bikaas Beis Churson taught that Aravah is Halacha L'Moshe MiSinai. [So it's a mitzvah and it would be permitted for kohanim to enter for that purpose]. Resolution: Who says the mitzvah is to surround the mizbeach holding aravos? Perhaps the mitzvah is to surround the mizbeach with aravos (34.5). Who says the mitzvah can be done by baalei mumin, perhaps only by regular Kohanim.

A proof that Rabbi Yochanan is the one who says it was instituted by the Nevi'im: Rabbi Avahu quoting Rabbi Yochanan: The Aravah was instituted by the Nevi'im. Rabbi Zeira to Rabbi Avahu: Did Rabbi Yochanan say that? “Rabbi Asi quoting Rabbi Yochanan from Rabbi Nechunya of bikaas Beis Churson: The law of Ten Saplings, Aravah, and Nisuch Hamayim are Halacha L'Moshe MiSinai.” So it's D'orayso, and not an institution of the nevi'im. Rabbi Avahu was dumbfounded for a little while, then he said: It was forgotten due to Golus and was later reinstated by the nevi'im. Challenge: Rabbi Yochanan said “What I thought is yours is really theirs” [When Rabbi Yochanan heard the teachings of Rav from his disciple Rav Kahana, he declared that the Torah, which he thought was in Eretz Yisroel, was actually chiefly in Bavel. So it seems that it wasn't forgotten due to Golus]. Resolution: In the Beis Hamikdash it was a Halacha L'Moshe MiSinai, everywhere else it was instituted later by the nevi'im.* Rabbi Ami: The Aravah used on Hoshana Rabbah [or every day in the Beis Hamikdash] requires a certain measure. It must be taken on its own, not with the lulav. One cannot fulfill his obligation with the Aravah that's bound in the lulav. Challenge: Since it must be taken on its own, why repeat that the aravah bound with the lulav cannot discharge his obligation? Resolution: It teaches that the lulav cannot be picked up a second time for the mitzvah of aravah, but it must be taken on its own.

But according to Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, that it's a minhag, a bracha cannot be said. Tosfos: Some use this as a proof that no bracha is recited on Hallel Rosh Chodesh which is only a minhag [this minhag was discovered by Rav when he came to Sura (nowadays the minhag is universal because it was the practice of Rav's yeshiva so it spread)] (indeed, one should be careful to pray with a minyan on Rosh Chodesh; while we make a bracha anyway, it is easier to make a bracha b'tzibbur). Rabbeinu Tam: There are minhagim which we make a bracha on, such as the second day of Yom Tov which we only keep because it is a minhag. Besides, reciting Hallel is no different than reading the Torah upon which we make a bracha. Aravah would not require a bracha if it were a minhag because it is a minor symbolic act.

It must be taken on its own, not with the lulav. One cannot fulfill his obligation with the Aravah that's bound in the lulav. Summary Rav Chisda quoting Rav Yitzchok: One can fulfill his obligation with the aravah in the lulav [it is not clear if he means “by picking up the lulav”, or “by picking up the lulav a second time with a different intent”, since the halacha doesn't follow this opinion, we do not have a clear answer]. Question: What is the measure? Rav Nachman: Three stems of fresh leaves. Rav Sheishes: Even one leaf and one stem. Challenge: How can that be kosher? Resolution: One leaf on one stem. [ Rashi: We're discussing here the aravah used in the Beis Hamikdash, because the aravah in the lulav, we learned above must be 3 tefachim high. But the Poskim say that this kulah applies also to the aravah of the lulav]. Ayvo [the father of Rav]: I was standing in front of Rabbi Elazar bar Tzadok [he was an old man who had still been in the Beis Hamikdash] and someone brought him an aravah, he shook it but didn't make a bracha [there's a question on how to fulfill this minhag, according to Rashi it is merely waved, according to others you hit the ground with it, according to others some of the leaves should be knocked off].

Today's learning is sponsored Sponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click here https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/ODUwOTU= We learned in the mishna (34.1) that the mitzvah of Aravah supersedes the Shabbos in the Beis Hamikdash only on the seventh day of Sukkos. The mitzvah of lulav supersedes the Shabbos only on the first day of Sukkos. Summary Question: Why does the aravah supersede Shabbos on the seventh day? Rabbi Yochanan: To let everyone know that it is a Torah law [this is referring to the aravah taken in the beis hamikdash, not to the aravos we take on Hoshana Rabbah which is a minhag nevi'im]. Challenge: Then lulav [which is a Torah law too] should also supersede the Shabbos? Resolution: Indeed, but there is the gezeirah of Rabbah (34.2). Challenge: Why doesn't Rabbah's gezeirah apply to Aravah? Resolution: The Aravah is done by the emissaries of Beis Din, while the lulav is done by the common folk.* Challenge: Why doesn't the aravah supersede Shabbos on all seven days to show that it's a Torah law? Resolution: People would say that lulav is not important. Challenge: So let the aravah supersede Shabbos only on the first day; like lulav? Resolution: It wouldn't demonstrate anything about aravah specifically; people would think that it is only done because lulav is also done on the first day. Challenge: Why specifically the seventh day, why not any of the other days? Resolution: Since it couldn't be done on the first day, it was set for the seventh day [the first and last days are easy to remember, another day would be confusing]. Challenge: Why isn't it done on Shabbos nowadays? (By emissaries of Beis Din. Rashi.) Resolution: We don't know which day is the seventh (34.2).

Tosfos: This is necessary to be pointed out, as the gemara continues, that lulav is done by the common folk. Otherwise the lulavim could also be brought by special emissaries before Shabbos. There is a difficulty however with the gemara's question later “the aravah should be done nowadays on Shabbos too”, Rashi deals with this question.

Hallel and simcha [eating shlamim from the table of Hakodosh Boruch Hu] are obligatory on all eight days [Tosfos: While it is not always possible to eat shlamim meat on all eight days, it is possible to fulfill the mitzvah of simcha with fine wine or by another method Click here to listen to the shiur with Tosfos]. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1myTrYrVn00U6X7NM4Gpjs-q468SVhyiV/view?usp=sharing_ The mitzvos of sukkah and nisuch hamayim are obligatory for seven days. The flute [the music at the simchas beis hashoeiva] may be fulfilled for five or six days [since it is not done on Yom Tov or on Shabbos]. Lulav is seven days if the first day is Shabbos, on other days the lulav was not taken on Shabbos. Aravah is seven days if the last day is Shabbos, on other days the aravah was not taken on Shabbos. If the first day of Yom Tov was on Shabbos, everyone carried their lulav to Har Habayis before Shabbos and the shamashim laid them all out on a platform. The older people placed theirs in a room. The people were taught to say “Anybody who will get my lulav, let him keep it as a gift from me”. The next day they would come early and the shamashim would throw the lulavim towards them and they would scramble to grab a lulav [this was a good procedure for a long time] but sometimes they hit each other [in the end], when Beis Din saw that this causes a sakanah , they instituted for everyone to fulfill the mitzvah in their own homes.
