Podcasts about chag kasher v'sameach

The Ohr Hachaim points out the greatness of Moshe Rabbeinu in blessing us before his death, even though we helped cause it to happen at this time. We can extend that to appreciate the Love Hashem has for us, as manifested in Hoshana Rabah and Shemini Atzeres. Thanks again as we come to an end of season 3, appreciate your being a listener. Have a Chag Kasher V'sameach.

Welcome to Embrace Shabbat. This is a special edition for Shabbat Chol HaMoed Pesach. There is a well-known Midrash that if the Jewish people keep even one Shabbat properly, the Geulah will come immediately, as it says היום אם בקולו תשמעו , today if you listen to My voice . היום refers to שמור את יום השבת לקדשו ; G-d will come if you listen to His voice and keep the day. There is a beautiful Midrash in Shemot Rabbah that teaches that Pharaoh said תכבד העבודה על האנשים , put a heavy workload on the Jewish people. The Jewish people held special scrolls that they would delight in reading as they rested on Shabbat. They knew from these scrolls that Hashem would redeem them. Pharaoh wanted to uproot that- הבה נתחכמה לו , let us outsmart him. Pharaoh's first decree was to uproot the Shabbat. He knew that as long as the Jewish people were keeping Shabbat, he would not be able to subjugate them. Therefore, he tried to get rid of Shabbat so that he could keep them in galut . This concept does not just refer to Galut Mitzrayim, but every future galut . Keeping Shabbat allows the Jewish people to escape from galut . This is why we repeatedly say that Shabbat is zecher l'yetziat mitzrayim. What does Shabbat have to do with yetziat mitzrayim?! We must remember that G-d took us out because of zechut Shabbat. It was in the zechut of Shemirat Shabbat with those scrolls that allowed us to be redeemed. קרבה אל נפשי גאלה , come close to Me and I will be redeemed. Our Rabbis teach that this does not just refer to a national redemption for the entire Jewish people, but for a personal geulah from a person's tzarot . Shabbat has the ability to take us out of our difficulties, as it allows us to strengthen our Emunah. The power of Shabbat stems from our learning Torah on Shabbat, which gives a person chizzuk . Pharaoh said: אל ישלוט דברי שקר . Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky gives a brilliant chiddush: Moshe Rabbeinu wrote 11 of the Mizmorei Tehillim. Among them is מזמור שיר ליום השבת , where it talks about טוב להודות לה . Surprisingly, this mizmor doesn't talk about Shabbat, but about chizzuk and Emunah. Rav Kamenetsky suggests that this perek was written in order to give us chizzuk on Shabbat, because the chizzuk and the emunah that we got from Shabbat allowed us to be redeemed in Mitzrayim! Similarly, other commentators suggest that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote Iyov. This sefer , too , provides chizzuk on how to understand the challenges of life. We need Shabbat to help end our galut . We must appreciate how Shabbat, and specifically limud haTorah, will redeem us, by giving us chizzuk and Emunah. Have a Shabbat Shalom and a Chag Kasher v'Sameach.

Afikoman by Eli Levin As we head into Pesach, many of us remember the tragic passing of Yisroel Levin and Elisheva Kaplan on Chol Hamoed a few years ago. But something that people will never forget was how Yisroel's father was able to put his own pain and grief on the side and think of the rest of Klal Yisroel, as he requested 10,000 shidduchim for Klal Yisroel as compensation for the "Afikoman" that was taken for them.   Subsequently, Yisroel's brother Eli sat down and wrote a stunning song telling the story.    Wishing everyone a Chag Kasher v'Sameach.   No Internet?

Welcome to Embrace Shabbat. In his sefer Daat Chochma u'Mussar (Volume 1, page 130), Rav Yerucham Levovitz cites one of the fundamentals of preparing for Pesach: חייב אדם לראות ולהראות את עצמו כאילו יצא ממצרים - in every generation a man is obligated to regard himself as though he personally had gone forth from Egypt . The main goal on the night of Pesach is for a person to attain the level of feeling they personally were liberated from Egypt. בעבור זה עשה ה' לי - G-d did it for me . All of the preparations and laws of Pesach are to bring a person closer to this goal. Rav Yerucham Levovitz questions why there are so many external acts if the ultimate purpose is just to cultivate a feeling. For example, in the Sefardic communities, there is a minhag to say MiShaarotam . After breaking the middle matzah, the afikoman is carried on their shoulders, questions are asked, and the whole scene is acted out. Can't a person just sit in their house and imagine leaving Mitzrayim ? What is the purpose of all of these acts? He explains that these ציורים - pictures, actions, and images that we create- are extremely powerful in changing us and are therefore employed often in our avodat Hashem . For example, there are many external actions that the Rabbanim would perform to welcome in Shabbat. The Gemara in Bava Kamma 32b says that Rabbi Chanina would go out on Leil Shabbat to greet the Shabbat queen. Rashi states that this is similar to a person who goes out to greet a king. Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz says that these practices seem laughable! Is Shabbat walking in through the back door?! Why is Rabbi Chanina going out to the field to greet Shabbat? It is not a person! Wouldn't it be better for a person to relax in their house and accept Shabbat serenely? We live in a world called עולם המעשה - the world of doing. Chazal teach that through our actions, we come to understand and accept Shabbat. We must go out to the field in order to feel like Shabbat is literally coming into our home. Rav Yerucham teaches that anyone who does not understand this is ignorant of the concept of how to internalize these critical ideas. These external actions prepare our inner world, our penimyut. The Sefer HaChinuch teaches that there are so many preparations and activities on Pesach because our efforts impact us. This idea can be applied to Shabbat, as well. We go out to greet the kallah by Kaballat Shabbat. In our shul, we have a custom to turn around by Lecha Dodi. This can be compared to a person turning around at a wedding to see the bride come in. Some people argue that it is not their custom to turn around by Lecha Dodi, however this is not a custom! People just naturally turn around to see the bride walk in, and therefore we should naturally turn around to see the “bride”- Shabbat- enter; it is not a halacha! The כוח הציור , the power of imagery, is a powerful tool for Pesach, Shabbat, and for so many other critical areas in our life. Going through the imagery and acting things out has the power to change us. Before taking three steps back in the amidah , the Syrian community has a custom to wave to one another. This is based on the fact that during the amidah, we are like angels. (This is why we keep our feet together.) It says: עושה שלום במרומיו , there is peace among the angels . We want to imitate the angels, and therefore we wave a sign of friendship to each other as we are about to start the amidah. That is the כוח הציור . Have a wonderful day, a Shabbat Shalom, and a Chag Kasher v'Sameach. Lastly, a reminder for those who want to give to Lev Chana, an organization which gives cards to needy families that they can redeem in certain clothing stores.

This week's Jerusalem Lights podcast is a Passover primer! Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman offer an amazing and inspiring analysis of the eternal covenant of the Passover offering, the haggadah and the seder night, the unique prohibition against chometz (leaven) – and the significance of Passover for all mankind. Can Passover be observed by non-Jews? Should it be? Are non-Jews who love the G-d of Israel encouraged to make a Passover seder? Tune into this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast Passover special for the fascinating and uplifting discussion! Plus: The Torah portion of Tzav continues the theme of Temple offerings with which Vayikra began, but the vantage point changes and the perspective is from that of the Kohen. What are the connections between this week's Torah portion and Passover? Note: The Jerusalem Lights podcast will be taking a break during Passover week. Our next broadcast with G-d's help, will be Wednesday, April 7th, 2021 Wishing you blessings for Chag Kasher V'sameach, Passover blessings to the whole world! ___ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: Paypal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...​ In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
