Israel sends the remainders of the tribe of Binyamin to choose wives from the girls of Shilo who go out to dance in the vineyards.

On Rosh Hashanah we begin saying, זָכְרֵנוּ לְחַיִּים מֶלֶךְ חָפֵץ בַּחַיִּים — "Remember us for life, O King Who desires life." It is told that Rav Yisrael Salanter would spend a long time concentrating on those words because he wanted to ingrain within himself the recognition that his entire life was dependent upon Hashem. Every moment that he lived and every breath that he took was only because Hashem was giving him life. This is an important part of our avodah on Rosh Hashanah—to recognize how completely dependent we are upon Hashem and how much we need Him for everything. David HaMelech concluded Tehillim with the words, כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל קהּ , and Chazal explain, עַל כָּל נְשִׁימָה וּנְשִׁימָה שֶׁאָדָם נוֹשֵׁם צָרִיךְ לְקַלֵּס לַבּוֹרֵא — "For every single breath that a person takes, he must praise Hashem." Every breath is another revelation of Hashem giving us life. A person who understands this can live with Hashem every second of the day. It is told that when the Chafetz Chaim would get up to get a sefer from the bookshelf, he would first say, "Be'ezrat Hashem, I'm going to get a sefer from the bookshelf." He understood that even to walk across the room to get a sefer requires Hashem's help. We need Hashem for everything. This understanding could explain something very interesting about the way we thank Hashem. Our Rabbis tell us that when we thank Hashem, we should continue asking Him for more. Leah Imeinu, after having her fourth child, Yehudah, said, הַפַּעַם אוֹדֶה אֶת ה׳ — "This time I will thank Hashem." She felt that she had received more than her share and stopped asking. The pasuk then says, וַתַּעֲמֹד מִלֶּדֶת — "She stopped giving birth." Rachel, on the other hand, after giving birth to Yosef, immediately prayed, יֹסֵף ה׳ לִי בֵּן אַחֵר — "Please, Hashem, give me another son," and then she had Binyamin. At first glance, this is difficult to understand. When a human being does us a favor, the proper thing is to say thank you sincerely. If immediately after saying thank you we ask him for something else, the thank you may not appear sincere. It can sound as though we're only thanking him because we want to get more out of him. So why, when it comes to Hashem, do we ask for more immediately after thanking Him? The difference is that when we thank another person, we specifically do not want to convey the message that we are dependent upon him. We know he has no power on his own to give us anything in the future. Hashem can take away his ability to help us at any moment. We're just thanking him for what he already did for us. He gave us something, of course as a messenger of Hashem, and we thank him for that. But we hope we will never need him to help us in the future. With Hashem, however, it's exactly the opposite. When we thank Hashem, part of the thank you is recognizing that we are completely dependent upon Him. How could we just say thank You for what He did in the past while He is continuing to give to us at this very moment? While we're thanking Him for one chesed, He's giving us countless others. He's giving us our eyesight, our heart, our brain, our hands and our feet, and He's giving us the very breath with which we're saying thank You. Therefore, hoda'ah to Hashem means much more than just saying, "Thank You for what You gave me." It means saying, "Hashem, I recognize that everything I have comes from You. Everything I had until now was from You. Everything I have at this moment is from You. And everything I will have in the next moment will also come from You." And that's exactly why, after thanking Hashem, we ask Him for more. The asking is part of the thank you. It shows that we truly recognize Who Hashem is and how completely dependent we are upon Him. We're saying, "Hashem, thank You for the breath You just gave me, and please give me another breath. Thank You for sustaining me until now, and please continue sustaining me. I can't do anything on my own." If we were to thank Hashem and then feel that we're good on our own, the recognition would be incomplete. True hoda'ah means understanding that Hashem's chesed is not just something that happened in the past. It's taking place every single second. As Rosh Hashanah approaches, this is a recognition we need to strengthen. Hashem, my life is in Your hands. I need You for everything. I need You to breathe. I need You for my parnassah. I need You for my family and for my success. I need You for everything. And when we live with that recognition, we live with Hashem every second of the day. Every breath is another reason to thank Him, every need is another reason to turn to Him, and every moment becomes another opportunity to happily serve the One Who is constantly giving us everything we have.

We explore how influencer culture, constant comparison, and the pressure to "keep up" affect dating, marriages, family building, and self-worth. We also discuss the rise of Gen Z addictions, the impact of social media and dopamine-driven living, and why so many people are unaware of the everyday habits that either strengthen or undermine their mental health. Finally, we examine the difference between authentic Torah values and what we call "snake oil Judaism." We discuss how to distinguish genuine spiritual growth from quick fixes, and how greater self-awareness can lead to healthier minds, stronger relationships, and more meaningful Jewish lives.___*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh, and l'ilui nishmat Zehara Yehudit bat Yaakov Ezra v'Ilana Shira___• Bio: Rachel Tuchman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over ten years of experience.

Rabbi Akiba's Tears Parashat Matot begins with a number of laws regarding vows, including the authority given to a husband to annul certain vows taken by his wife. The Torah states that in such a case, when a wife takes a vow and the husband declares its annulment, "V'Hashem Yislah Lah" – G-d will forgive the woman (30:13). The Sages understood this verse as referring to a situation where the wife did not know that her husband annulled the vow, and nevertheless proceeded to violate it. For example, the wife declared herself a Nezira, committing to abstain from wine, and she later decided to drink wine despite her vow. As it turned out, she committed no transgression by drinking wine, because her husband annulled her vow of Nezirut. Nevertheless, she requires G-d's forgiveness since she intended to violate the vow. The Gemara (Kiddushin 81b) tells that Rabbi Akiba would weep each time he read this verse. He was overcome by emotion upon seeing that even a person who did not commit a sin requires atonement if he intended to commit a sin. If even such an act – which was actually permissible – requires atonement, then how much more so is a person held accountable when he commits an act that is truly forbidden. A deep explanation for Rabbi Akiva's tears emerges from the teachings of Rav Shimshon of Ostropoli (1600-1648). Ashkenazic communities have the custom of including in the Kinnot on Tisha B'Ab a lament for the Asara Harugeh Malchut – the ten great sages who were murdered by the Romans. The Roman emperor learned the law in the Torah that kidnapping a person and then selling him as a slave is a capital offense, punishable by death. He thus decreed that ten great sages must be murdered to atone for the sin of Mechirat Yosef – when Yosef's brothers committed this exact crime, selling their brother as a slave. Since this crime was committed by Yosef's ten brothers, ten sages were brutally murdered to atone for this misdeed. In truth, only nine of Yosef's brothers participated in his sale as a slave. Binyamin, the youngest, was home and thus not present at the time of the sale, and Reuben tried to rescue Yosef. Thus, this crime was committed by only nine brothers. Rav Shimshon of Ostropoli cites the Arizal as teaching that the Almighty Himself, as it were, was the tenth participant. He decreed that this should happen, and He thus "completed the Minyan," so-to-speak, joining Yosef's brothers in selling him as a slave to Egypt. Now the Kabbalists have identified the specific correspondence between the Asara Harugeh Malchut and the brothers who sold Yosef – meaning, which of the ten great sages corresponds to which of Yosef's brothers. For example, one of these sages was Rabbi Huspit Ha'meturgeman – a great Rabbi who was blessed with a loud, clear voice, and thus worked as the "broadcaster" who would help the Rabbis deliver their lectures. He corresponds to Naftali, who is described as "Ha'noten Imreh Shafer" (49:21) – the speaker of beautiful words. Rav Shimshon of Ostropoli taught that Rabbi Akiba, who was among the ten sages murdered by the Romans, corresponded to G-d, the tenth "participant" in Mechirat Yosef. This is because Rabbi Akiba taught that the Torah's command to fear Hashem extends also to Torah scholars – meaning, just as one is obligated to fear Hashem, so must one show reverence to the sages. As Rabbi Akiba equated, in a sense, Torah scholars with the Almighty, he was chosen to "represent" G-d as one of the Asara Harugeh Malchut. We can now return to Rabbi Akiba's weeping upon reading the verse in Parashat Matot, "V'Hashem Yislah Lah." Rabbi Akiba knew that he represented G-d as the tenth participant in Mechirat Yosef. However, he felt comforted by Yosef's own words many years later, when he explained to his brothers that he felt no resentment toward them for what they did: "Ve'atam Hashabtem Alai Ra'a, Elokim Hashabah Le'Toba" – "You plotted evil against me, but G-d plotted for the good" (50:20). Although the brothers intended to inflict harm, their actions actually brought great blessing and good fortune, as Yosef ended up saving Egypt and the entire ancient world by predicting the seven years of famine and ordering the storage of grain during the preceding years of surplus. Rabbi Akiba thus figured that he – as a representative of Yosef's brothers – would not be held accountable for the sin of Mechirat Yosef, because it in truth turned out to be a blessing, and not a sin. However, when Rabbi Akiva read the verse "V'Hashem Yislah Lah," he wept. He then realized that even if a person's actions ended up being permissible, nevertheless, he requires atonement if he had intended to act wrongly. Rabbi Akiba thus understood that the time would come when an accounting would be made for the sin of Mechirat Yosef. As we approach the observance of Tisha B'Ab, let us all work together to rectify the sin of Mechirat Yosef by striving to be kinder, more compassionate and more forgiving. If Yosef's brothers brought calamity upon future generations through their efforts to harm Yosef, let us correct this mistake by redoubling our efforts to help and bring joy to all our brothers and sisters, even those with whom we have disagreements, and we will then be worthy of our final redemption, Amen.

In his highly anticipated return to the Judaism Demystified Podcast, Hakham Mordehai joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the most important issues facing the Jewish world today. We discuss the concept of Milhemet Mitzvah (obligatory war), his perspective on the Dati Leumi movement, and how the Torah's approach to war radically differs from the glorification of warriors found throughout ancient literature. Hakham Mordehai explains how these ideas have shaped his own view of military service and what it means to wear the uniform. We also explore the remarkable growth of his YouTube channel, ⁨@shivreluhot⁩ , and the resurgence of interest in Maimonidean thought, particularly in Israel and even within segments of the Haredi world. What exactly is Maimonidean Judaism? What does it stand for, what does it reject, and what is the true purpose of halakhah according to the Rambam? The conversation then turns to the lasting influence of Shabbetai Tzvi and Sabbateanism on contemporary Judaism. Hakham Mordehai argues that its impact is far greater than most people realize and explains why identifying and removing these influences remains an urgent task. Finally, we discuss the thriving Mekorist community, the vision behind it, and several exciting upcoming projects, including a Mekorist Siddur, a new book on the Rambam's Thirteen Principles of Faith, and his forthcoming commentary on Rav Qafih's Milhamot Hashem. A thought-provoking and wide-ranging discussion that challenges assumptions and invites listeners to rethink some of the most fundamental ideas in Judaism.___*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh, and l'ilui nishmat Zehara Yehudit bat Yaakov Ezra v'Ilana Shira___• Bio: Hakham Mordehai Ish Yemini is an Israeli Torah scholar, educator, farmer, father of four, and grandfather, as well as a prominent advocate of Maimonidean Judaism.
