What kind of cultural "baggage" will Jews bring with them from their exiles when they return to Eretz Yisroel? https://thechesedfund.com/rabbikatz/support-rabbi-katzz-podcast

Elul is all about a relationship. After a safari trip over bein hazmanim to South Africa, Rabbi Stark has an entirely new pshat on how the animal within helps one build that relationship with Hashem.

Why was Joseph, the viceroy of Egypt, buried in the Land of Israel, while Moses, the greatest Jewish leader in history, was not?In this timely and emotionally-charged class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a Midrashic conversation between Moses and G-d that reveals something deeper than geography: the power of Jewish identity without shame. Joseph never let go of his roots, even when it cost him everything. Moses, for reasons of his own, allowed others to misidentify him.What emerges is not a critique, but a calling.This is a class about Eretz Yisroel, yes. But it's also a class about spiritual backbone, about moral clarity, and about what it means to be a proud Jew in a world that often wants us to shrink.KEY TAKEAWAYSBeing “too Jewish” is never the problem, being disconnected is. Joseph's merit was his unapologetic loyalty to Israel, even in exile. Spiritual identity is not something we rent. It's who we are. Moses was not punished, he simply wasn't a fit for a mission he didn't fully embody. Today, being a Joseph means embracing our role as G-d's ambassadors, even in the toughest rooms. Israel is not just a land—it's the soul's homeland. Even from across the globe, we are rooted there. When we stop apologizing for our presence, our light begins to shine.#Israel #Judaism #Jewish #Zionism #EretzYisrael #Midrash #Moses #Joseph #IsraelHamas #IsraelWar #MoralClarity #JewishHistory #Torah #TorahPortion #TorahLessons #torahwisdom #torahpsychology #BibleStudy #Bible #BiblicalCrticism Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

התוכן עשרת הדברות [שברביעי דפ' ואתחנן], שהתחלתן היא ב"אנכי ה' אלקיך" וסיומן ב"לא תתאווה .. וכל אשר לרעך", נאמרו בפרטיות ובאופן ברור דוקא – בשש מאות ועשרים אותיות, כנגד תרי"ג מצוות בתורה וז' מצוות דרבנן. וההוראה הברורה: כשם שצריכים להיות זהיר בקיום ציווי הקב"ה ש"בין אדם ומקום" – "אנכי ה' אלקיך", כך באותה מדה צריכים להיות זהיר בכל הענינים שבהמשך העשה"ד, גם הענינים שהם לכאו' שייכים רק לחבירו, "בין אדם לחבירו", ואפי' אם מדובר לא בנשמתו וגופו של חבירו אלא בנכסיו, ואפי' נכסים לא יקרים – "וכל אשר לרעך". וע"י ההוספה בקיום הוראה זו, ממהרים ומזרזים קיום בקשת משה להכנס לארץ ישראל, "ואתחנן וגו'", בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה תיכף ומיד ממש. א' השיחות יום ד' פ' ואתחנן, י"ג מנחם-אב, ה'תנש"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-08-2025 Synopsis The Aseres HaDibros (in revi'i of parashas Va'eschanan) begin with “I am Hashem your G-d” and conclude with “You shall not desire…anything that belongs to your fellow,” and they are specifically stated in detail and clearly, in six hundred and twenty letters, corresponding to the 613 Biblical mitzvos and the seven Rabbinic mitzvos. The clear lesson is that just as one must be careful to fulfill Hashem's command in matters that are between man and G-d (“I am Hashem your G-d”), so must one be equally careful with all of the Aseres HaDibros, including those that are seemingly matters between man and his fellow. This applies not only when it comes to another Jew's soul or body, but even when it comes to his possessions, and even unvaluable possessions – “…and anything that belongs to your fellow.” By increasing in our fulfillment of this directive, we hasten the fulfillment of Moshe's request to enter Eretz Yisroel, “Va'eschanan (‘I entreated Hashem at that time')…,” with the true and complete Redemption literally right now.Sichah from Wednesday, parashas Va'eschanan, 13 Menachem-Av 5751.

Do any contemporary Poskim permit smoking? Is vaping halachically better than smoking? What's the argument that smoking is permitted?  What are the risks of second-hand smoking and vaping? If someone already smokes, do they need to quit? How far must a smoker distance himself from others? Host: Ari Wasserman, author of the newly published, revised and expanded book Making it Work, on workplace challenges and Halachic Q & A on the Job With Rabbi Yehuda Spitz – prolific author and Rosh Chaburah of the Ohr Lagolah Halacha Kollel, Ohr Somayach in Eretz Yisroel – 8:21 With Rabbi Dr. Aaron Glatt – Associate Rabbi at the Young Israel of Woodmere, Chairman, Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai South Nassau – 36:21 With Rav Rafael Kleinman – smoker of 35 years – 54:20 with Rabbi Yossi Sprung – Rav of Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Rosh Beis Medresh, Beis Medrash Govoha for Medical Halacha – 1:13:24 Conclusions and takeaways – 1:35:09 מראי מקומות   

התוכן בענין גבולות א"י [כמ"ש בשלישי דפ' מסעי] פרש"י בכ"מ את המלה "גבול" – "מיצר". כמו בפרק לד פסוק ב' "לפי שהרבה מצוות נוהגות בארץ . . הוצרך לכתוב מצרני גבולי רוחותי' סביב וכו'". ולכאו', הרי מצינו הלשון "גבול" בפסוקים לפנ"ז ורש"י אינו מפרש ע"ז כלום, וכן בפ' יתרו נאמר "והגבלת את ההר" ושם לא הוצרך לפרש שפירושו "מיצר"? והביאור: פירוש העיקרי ב"גבול" בכ"מ אינו רק המיצר, אלא את כל השטח שנמצא בתוך מיצר זה, ולכן, באותם מקומות שבפ' דברים שאא"פ לפרש "גבול" לכל השטח, פרש"י ש"גבול" הוא רק ה"מיצר". כמו עה"פ "וגבול ים" פרש"י "מיצר מערבי" כי אא"פ לפרשו על כל השטח מכיון שהים עצמו אינו חלק מא"י. "ענינים המופלאים" שבפרש"י הנ"ל שענין המצוות קשור עם "מצרני גבולי רוחותי'": הרי גשמיות משתלשל מרוחניות, ולפי"ז אינו מובן, מכיון שהקב"ה הוא בלי גבול, מאיפה נשתלשל כל המדידות והגבלות שבעוה"ז? אלא זה נשתלשל מהמדידות והגבלות שמצוות – "לא תוסיפו ולא תגרעו" – ד' פרשיות של תפלין וכו'.ג' חלקים משיחת מוצש"ק פ' מטו"מ, מבה"ח מנחם-אב ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-07-2025 Synopsis Regarding the borders of Eretz Yisroel (as discussed in shelishi of parashas Masei), Rashi in many places interprets the word gevul to mean meitzar (“limit”), such as in Bamidbar 34:2, where Rashi writes, “Since many mitzvos apply inside the Land and not outside the Land, it was necessary to write the boundaries (מצרני) of its surrounding borders on all sides etc.” Seemingly, we already find the term gevul in earlier verses, and Rashi offers no explanation. Similarly, parashas Yisro states, “Vehigbalta” (commanding the Jewish people to make a boundary around the mountain), yet Rashi doesn't see a need there to explain that it means “a boundary”? The explanation is as follows: In general, the primary meaning of gevul is not only the boundary, but the entire area contained within the boundary. Therefore, in the places in Devarim where you can't say that gevul refers to the whole area, Rashi explains that it refers only to the boundary itself. For example, on the verse, u'gevul yam (“and the sea boundary”), Rashi explains, “the western boundary,” because since the sea itself isn't part of Eretz Yisroel, you can't say that it refers to the entire area. Among the wondrous things contained in this Rashi: Rashi states that the mitzvos are tied to “the boundaries of its surrounding borders on all sides”: being that everything in the physical world descends from the spiritual realm, the question arises: if Hashem is unlimited, where do the limitations and boundaries in the world come from? The answer is that they come from the limits and boundaries of the mitzvos, as the Torah commands, “You shall not add nor diminish,” the fact that there are only four passages in the tefillin etc.3 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Matos-Masei 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-07-2025 לזכות מנוחה בת שיינא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ח תמוזלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Angels don't have free will—so whats so impressive about a "robot" doing Hashem's bidding?

התוכן שם הפרשה מטות-מסעי. "מטות" מורה תוקף וחיזוק, ו"מסעי" מורה על ההילוך והנסיעה בעילוי אחר עילוי, ועד שדרגה הקודמת נחשבת כמו "מצרים". וז"ש "אלה מסעי בנ"י אשר יצאו מארץ מצרים", שכ"ז שלא הגיעו עדיין לא"י לא יכלו לנוח ולהשאר במקומם, ועד שהרגישו דעדיין צריכים לצאת "מארץ מצרים"! וההוראה: ביחד עם העמידה בתוקף בנוגע לעניני תומ"צ, צריך להוסיף בעבודתו בעילוי אחר עילוי, עד שזוכים לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה, שאז תהיו כל העליות בקדושה גופא, כולל גם מצד העבודה דקו השמאל, מדת הגבורה, שעי"ז העלי' בקדושה היא בהתגברות הכי גדולה. ובזמן הגלות – זוהי עבודת התשובה שהיא העבודה עם קו השמאל, שמתבטא גם בזה שכל עבודתו הוא באופן ד"כפליים לתושי'", שהיא הכנה לגאולה, וזהו הקשר לשם החודש "מנחם-אב", שעיקר ה"שטורעם" וההתחלה הוא "מנחם" (אף שניתוסף לאח"ז), שבגימ' צמח דקאי על משיח. וע"י ההחלטות טובות בענינים אלו זוכים ל"מיד הן נגאלין", ומתחיל ה"מסע" "עם ענני שמיא" לעבר הירדן המערבי. משיחת אור לר"ח מנ"א ה'תשמ"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-07-2025 Synopsis The name Matos signifies strength and firmness, while Masei signifies journeying and advancing from level to level, to the point that the previous level is considered like “Egypt.” This is why the verse says, “These are the journeys (in the plural) of the Jewish people who left the land of Egypt” – because as long as they hadn't yet reached Eretz Yisroel, they could not rest or remain in place, to the extent that they felt they still needed to leave “the land of Egypt.” The lesson is that alongside standing firmly in matters of Torah and mitzvos, one must also increase in his divine service, rising from level to level until meriting the true and complete Redemption, at which time all the elevations will be within holiness itself, including through the service associated with the left side, the attribute of Gevurah, which brings the utmost intensity to the elevation within holiness. During the time of exile, this is the service of teshuvah, the service of the left side, which is also expressed in the fact that all one's efforts are in a manner of “a double portion of wisdom,” which prepares for the Redemption. This is the connection to the name of the month, Menachem-Av, where the beginning and main focus is on the word “Menachem” (despite the fact that this part of the name was added later) whose numerical value “Tzemach,” which refers to Moshiach. And by making firm positive resolutions in these matters, we will merit that “they are immediately redeemed,” and the “journey” will begin “with heavenly clouds” toward the western side of the Jordan.Excerpt from sichah of Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5748 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-07-2025 לזכות בנציון מאיר הלוי בן חי' שרה שי' וויינבוים ליום הולדת שלו כ"ז תמוזלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות‏

התוכן הוראות ממ"ש בשלישי דפ' פינחס בנוגע לחלוקת הארץ: 1) מצד א' "לרב תרבה נחלתו ומעט תמעיט נחלתו" – הנהגה עפ"י שכל, ומצד שני "אך בגורל יחלק את הארץ" – הנהגה שלמעלה מן השכל. וההוראה: מצד אחד דורשת התורה שהנהגתו של יהודי תהי' ע"פ טבע, אבל ביחד עם זה צריך יהודי לדעת ולגלות את האמת, שהטבע עצמו הוא למעלה מן הטבע – אלקות. 2) הענין ד"חלוקת הארץ" כפשוטו הוא שכל א"י לגבולותי' ניתנה לכאו"א מישראל, כפי שכבר הובטח ב"ברית בין הבתרים", "ברית" שאי-אפשר לשנותה! והדגשה מיוחדת בנוגע לנשי ישראל, ש"היו מחבבות את הארץ" שלכן באו (בנות צלפחד) אל משה ותבעו חלק בארץ ישראל, והבקשה התמלאה! ועד"ז בכל דור ובכל זמן צריכות הנשים לגשת לנשיא דורנו, ולמסור "פדיון" שרצונן ותביעתן לקבל חלק בארץ! ואז עונה להן נשיא הדור שיביא את טענתן ותביעתן לפני הקב"ה, והקב"ה מקבל את הבקשה! וזוכים תיכף ומיד לבואו של "פנחס זה אלי'" שיבשר על בואו של משיח צדקנו.ג' חלקים משיחת ליל ג' פ' פינחס, ט"ו תמוז ה'תשמ"ו, ביחידות כללית להאורחים שיחיו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-07-2025 Synopsis (1) The verse states (in shelishi of parashas Pinchas), “You must give a larger inheritance to the large [tribe] and you must give a smaller inheritance to a smaller one,” an approach based on reason. But at the same time, it says, “Nonetheless, the land must be divided by lot,” an approach that transcends reason. The lesson is that while the Torah requires a Jew to conduct himself according to nature, at the same time a Jew must know and reveal the truth – that nature itself comes from Hashem. (2) When the land was divided up (in fulfilment of Hashem's promise during the Bris Bein Habesarim – a covenant that cannot be altered), we find that the Jewish women had an even greater love for Eretz Yisroel than the men, and therefore Tzelofchad's daughters came to Moshe to demand and request a portion in the land, and their request was fulfilled. Similarly, in every generation and every era, the women must approach the Nasi of the generation with a pidyon stating that their desire and demand is to receive a portion in the land. Then, the Nasi of the generation will bring their demand to Hashem, and Hashem will accept it. Thus we will immediately merit the coming of “Pinchas, who is Eliyahu,” to herald the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu.3 excerpts from sichah of Monday night, parashas Pinchas, 15 Tammuz 5746 – Yechidus Klalis for visitors For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-07-2025 לע"נ הרה"ח ר' פנחס בן הרב יהושע ע"ה קארף ליום היארצייט שלו כ' תמוז. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' מנחם מעדל שי' קארף*לזכות שמעיה אבטליון בן שרה שי'

התוכן 1) ההוראה לבנות ישראל בזמננו מהסיפור בפ' פינחס אודות בנות צלפחד שממנו למדו חז"ל שאצל בנות ישראל היתה חיבת הארץ יותר מאשר אצל בני ישראל: כאשר "מפני חטאינו גלינו מארצנו" ורואים את חורבן ביהמ"ק גם בא"י – העבודה היא שתהי' תשוקה שיחזור להיות מעמד ומצב של גילוי אלקות, ענינה של א"י אשר "תמיד עיני ה' אלקיך בה מרשית השנה ועד אחרית שנה", דהיינו, לפעול בכל פרט ובכל ענין שיהי' ניכר ש"הנה ה' נצב . . ומביט וכו'". 2) כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר הנהיג שבזמן הקיץ נוסעים הבחורים וכמה אברכים לבקר במקומות שונים לדבר אודות עניני יהדות וכו', והרבי נשיא הדור מעורר רחמים שיצליחו גם באופן שישארו אח"כ פירות ופירי-פירות. כאשר התחלת הנסיעה היא מתוך התוועדות חסידית ומתוך המרחב של נשיא ישראל – מתנהלת הנסיעה כולה באופן של הרחבה. ולכן יאמרו הנוסעים "לחיים" ותהי' נסיעתם באופן ש"בשמחה תצאו . . ההרים והגבעות יפצחו לפניכם רינה, וכל עצי השדה ימחאו כף".ב' שיחות דהתוועדות יום א' פ' פינחס, י"ג תמוז ה'תשי"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-07-2025 Synopsis (1) Our Sages derive from the story (in Parshas Pinchas) of Tzelofchad's daughters that the Jewish women of that time had greater love for Eretz Yisroel than the men. The lesson for Jewish women in our times is that during exile, when one sees the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, even within Eretz Yisroel itself – the task is to feel a longing to return to the state of revelation of G-dliness, which is the special quality of Eretz Yisroel, the land that “the eyes of Hashem your G-d are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.” This means that it should be visible in every aspect of her home that “ “Behold, Hashem stands… and watches” etc. (2) The Rebbe, my father-in-law, the Rebbe, instituted that during the summer months, the bochurim and young married men should travel to various places to speak about Yiddishkeit, etc., and the Rebbe, the Nasi of the generation, arouses mercy that they should succeed, and in such a way that will also leave behind fruits and fruits of fruits. When the journey begins with a chassidishe farbrengen and from within the expansiveness of the Nasi of the Jewish people Israel—the entire journey is conducted in a manner of expansiveness. Therefore, those traveling should say l'chaim, and their journey should be in the manner of “For with joy shall you go forth…the mountains and the hills shall burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap hands.2 sichos from farbrengen of Sunday, parashas Pinchas, 13 Tammuz 5719 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-07-2025 לע"נ ר' פייוויל ב"ר יצחק ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו י"ט תמוז. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' חיים שי' טאני

Bilam was arguably as great as Moshe, so how is it possible his life's journey ended up so diametrically opposed to that of Moshe's?

התוכן כשהפסוק מתאר הענין דקבוץ גלויות לא"י מארבע הרוחות, אומר "ממזרח אביא זרעך וממערב אקבצך, אומר לצפון תני ולתימן אל תכלאי". דבנוגע למזרח ולמערב נאמר שהקב"ה יביא ויקבץ אותם משם, בנוגע לדרום נאמר שלא תהא מניעה מצדו – "אל תכלאי", אבל בנוגע לצפון נאמר "אומר לצפון תני" – ש"צפון" עצמו יסייע לגאולה. וזהו גם מה שראו בגאולת י"ב תמוז [שמדינת רוסיא היא צפונה לא"י] שהמדינה עצמה סייעה בשחרור. ואדרבה – כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר העמיד תנאים בזה – שלא יסע בשבת וכו', ובעת יציאתו מהמדינה אמר והתעקש שלא ייצא בלי הספרים, עד שהוכרחו להרשות לו לקחת את כל הספרים וכו'. וזוהי גם הוראה איך תהי' הגאולה האמיתית והשלימה ע"י משיח, וכמ"ש בהפטורה דפ' בלק: שאע"פ שבנ"י יהיו באופן של "שארית יעקב בקרב עמים רבים", ו"כארי בבהמות יער", ובכ"ז תהי' הגאולה באופן "אשר לא יקוה לאיש ולא ייחל לבני אדם", שלא יבקשו רשות מאף א', ודוקא ממקום שישנם המתייאשים ר"ל היל"ת, הנה "אומר לצפון תני" בקרוב ממש.א' השיחות דהתוועדות י"ג תמוז ה'תשכ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-07-2025 Synopsis Regarding the Redemption the verse says, “From the east I will bring your seed, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, ‘Give,' and to the south, ‘Do not refrain…'” Regarding the east and west, it says that Hashem will bring and gather them from there, and regarding the south it says that there will be no obstruction from that side. But regarding the north it says, “I will say to the north, ‘Give,'” meaning the north itself will assist in the Redemption. We also saw this in the redemption of 12 Tammuz (in a country that is to the north of Eretz Yisroel) – that the government itself assisted in the liberation. Moreover, the Rebbe set conditions for his release, refusing to travel on Shabbos and refusing to leave the country without all the sefarim and manuscripts, and the government was forced to comply. This also serves as a lesson as to how the true and complete Redemption through Moshiach Tzidkeinu will take place, as it says in the Haftorah of parashas Balak: although the Jewish people will be in the state of “the remnant of Yaakov in the midst of many peoples,” and “like a lion among the beasts of the forest,” nevertheless, the Redemption will come about in such a way that the Jewish people “will not hope for any man and not wait for the sons of man” – they will not seek anyone's permission. And specifically from the place where there are people in despair, Rachmana litzlan, the verse says, “I will say to the north, ‘Give,'” and very soon.Sichah from farbrengen of 13 Tammuz 5722 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-07-2025 לע”נ הרב אורי עזרא ב"ר יוסף יהודה ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו ט"ו תמוז. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' ישעי' ‏מנחם מענדל שי' ליפש

Rabbi Kalish

"If someone tells you there is Torah by the Goyim don't believe them. If they tell you there is wisdom by the Goyim, believe them." What is this wisdom and does it originate from the Torah or is it something else entirely?

Parshas Behaalosecha: Always Been Home What does it really mean to belong? Our Parsha begins with Aharon lighting the Menorah, its flame a symbol of constant connection. Then, the Torah introduces something unexpected: if a convert wants to bring the Korban Pesach, “there shall be one law—for the convert and for the native.” But why say this here? What does Pesach Sheni have to do with someone who wasn't there the first time? Rashi says it's to make clear: a convert is not a guest. They're family. But the Ohr HaChaim goes further—teaching that every soul who would one day choose G-d was already part of the Exodus. They weren't late. They were always part of the story. This episode explores a powerful idea: You didn't miss your chance. You've been part of this journey all along. Every spark, even the hidden ones, were carried out of Egypt. If you've ever questioned whether you belong, or whether your journey started too late—this one's for you.

Parshas Naso: Back from Beyond Our Parsha begins with the transport duties of the Leviim, followed by the laws of the Sotah and the Nazir. But suddenly, the Torah circles back to a topic we've already seen: the Metzora, the person cast out of all three camps due to spiritual impurity. Why revisit this now? Coming off Shavuos, we carry that message with us: the Torah belongs to each of us, wherever we stand, and the journey back always begins with one step forward. In honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

How and why the flags which Klal Yisroel wanted represent their desire to fulfill their "shlichus."

We are Torah. And Torah is us.

Although widely accepted nowadays, the Zohar's acceptance came along with more controversy than you might expect.

The Lag BaOmer Perspective: Fire From Within Lag BaOmer begins in darkness—the plague that claimed Rabbi Akiva's students and Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai's years in hiding—but ends in brilliance. We light bonfires not merely for celebration, but to honor the inner blaze that emerges when faith refuses to dim. Rabbi Akiva's humility sparked a fire that could break stone, and Rabbi Shimon's unwavering commitment transformed exile into revelation. This episode explores how true light is forged in silence and struggle, and how each of us can carry that flame into the world. In honor of Eretz Yisroel.
