Have you ever wondered about the unique intricacies of Jewish prayer and calendrical traditions? Discover the profound significance behind the reading of Haftorahs during special parashas such as Shkolim, Zochor, Parah, and HaChodesh, and how we choose which Haftorah to read. Join us as we unpack the principle of "Tadir v'she'eno tadir tadir kodem" and how it shapes our tradition. We'll also navigate the fascinating calendar distinctions, like why Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish year while Nisan kicks off the months, and explore other pivotal dates such as Shavuot and Tu B'Shvat.Transitioning to the milestones of Jewish life, we shine a light on the bar and bat mitzvah customs that mark the passage into religious adulthood. While it's a cherished tradition for bar mitzvah boys to read from the Torah, we explore the idea that there's no religious mandate to do so. Drawing from personal anecdotes, we reflect on how some children may feel daunted by this practice and discuss the importance of creating a supportive, understanding environment that respects individual capabilities. We also touch on the practice of singing down bar mitzvah boys and grooms to spare them public discomfort, underscoring the need for empathy in our community rituals.As we embrace the warmth of Shabbos, we explore the transformative potential it holds for our lives. From the modest bowing during the Amidah that embodies humility, to the joyful customs of Kabbalat Shabbat like L'chad Odi, we invite you to experience the richness of Shabbos rituals. Discover how the Amshenov Rebbe's continuing spiritual high illustrates the profound connection we can achieve by welcoming the Shabbos queen. By fostering excitement and reverence, Shabbos becomes much more than a day of rest; it becomes a cornerstone of spiritual rejuvenation that can carry us through the week.In this episode of Ask Away we address these various topics:Understanding Jewish Prayer and Calendar Basics: Exploring Jewish traditions, rituals, Haftorahs, Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashanah, Nisan, Shavuot, and biblical foundations for prayer.Bar/Bat Mitzvah Torah Reading Customs: Bar mitzvah tradition of reading Torah, sensitivity towards struggling children, singing down to prevent embarrassment.Bowing and Welcoming the Shabbos Queen: Jewish prayer customs include bowing during Amidah, Oseh Shalom, and specific prayers, and Kabbalat Shabbat traditions like L'chad Odi and welcoming the Shabbos queen.The Beauty of Shabbos: Shabbos is a special day to connect with ourselves and Hashem, rejuvenating us and enriching our week.And much more ...

Questions in this episode:Is it forbidden to eat in public?Who is permitted to read the Haftorah?What's if the person who receives an honor isn't prepared?Are women prohibited from reading the Torah?Is one allowed to look away when reading from the Torah scroll?How does one know what the cantillations for reading the Torah are? Who is responsible to ensure there is a Torah Reader for Shabbat services?Who can read from the Torah?Join us on this thought-provoking Q&A episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, where we explore the profound themes of dignity and respect in Jewish tradition with Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of Torch in Houston, Texas. Listen in as we discuss the nuances of maintaining self-respect, particularly when it comes to eating in public. Drawing insights from the Talmud, Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes that highlight the cultural shifts in self-presentation over time, such as the contrast between past practices of dressing up for flights and today's more casual attitudes. We also tackle halachic questions regarding eating in public spaces, distinguishing between designated eating areas like restaurants and food courts, and other public settings. In addition to the conversation about dignity, we also explore sensitivity and protocol in synagogue settings, focusing on the role of a groom during Jewish wedding celebrations. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal experiences and reflects on the tradition of "singing down" the groom to avoid potential embarrassment. The discussion broadens to examine women's roles in religious settings, addressing modesty laws and the rationale behind the separation of men and women in synagogues, known as the mechitza. These insights shed light on how traditions aim to maintain decorum and avoid distractions, fostering a respectful and focused religious environment. Tune in for a rich and enlightening discussion that balances tradition with modern sensibilities._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #24) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

This sicha explains the deep connection between the hafTorah and this week's parsha and gives us a lesson on the how to relate to every Jew

The Lesson from the Haftorah and Torah Portion of Vaeira: Action is Most Important

1) We're having a staff Chanukah party. May we give each participant 5 Euro to play with and the winner takes the lot?[1] 2) May a Kohen marry the daughter born to a couple who are both Geirim?[2] 3) Meaty sausages were warmed up in a meaty oven, in a milky tray that was lined with greaseproof paper. Does the paper prevent transmission of taste from food to tin?[3] 4)  Does lighting Menorah in Shul or in a public require a Minyan to be present?[4] 5) Does a food-thermostat need to be toivelled before use?[5] 6) Are we okay with an under-Barmitzvah-boy being called up for Maftir & Haftorah?[6] 7) If, during a meal, I shake hands with someone who hasn't washed NTY, do I have to wash my hands again?[7] 8) When sniffing a tea-bag before use, should I say a brocho for the fragrance?[8] 9) Some sources state that there were originally 12 Nuschaos, one for each of the 12 tribes. How does that fit with the fact that Nusach haTefilo was established by the Anshei Kneses haGedolah, at the beginning of the 2nd BHMk, whereas the 10 tribes (of Malchus Yisroel) were exiled well before the destruction of the BHMK? [9] 10) Is there a mitzvah to publicise the miracle [of Chanukah] to non-Jews? [10] [1] בדין משחק בקוביא בבני משפחה - ראה או"ח סי' שכב ס"ו. בפסקי תשובות סי' תרע הע' 25 הביא בשם הרה"ק מקלויזנבורג ז"ל להקל במשחק דריידל מדין משפחה אחת. [2] ראה שו"ע אבן העזר סימן ז סעיף כא. [3] ברמ"א יו"ד סי' צב ס"ח מובא הכלל שאין בליעה עוברת מכלי לכלי בלא רוטב. בס' פסקים ותשובות (שם אות כז) מביא להקל בזה גם בנייר-כסף. אלא ששם חשש לחומרא בנייר-אפיי'. ואיני מבין למה החמיר טפי ממפה בלועה, שבזה הקיל ה'חכמת שלמה'. [4] ראה רמ"א או"ח סי' תרעא ס"ז, ובמג"א ובשע"ת שם. [5] ההוראה הנפוצה היא להטביל בלא ברכה. [6] מפורש להיתר בשוע"ר סי' רפד ס"ח. [7] אריכות בזה בפסקי תשובות סימן קסב אות יא. [8] מבואר בסדר ברכת הנהנין פי"א אות ט שכל שעיקרו לתבלין אין מברכים על ריחו. וי"ח, ולכן יש למנוע שלא להריח אותם. [9] במג"א ר"ס סח מובא משער הכוונות ענין י"ב נוסחאות. והוא בשער הכונות (ע' שכח). מגיד דבריו ליעקב סי' קלג – מחדש דבר שער הי"ג. נר מצוה ותו"א פנ"ה מזהה שאנשי כנה"ג קבעו תפלת י"ח כשער הי"ג, והאריז"ל תיקן כן בברכות קר"ש ובפסד"ז. [10] בפסקי תשובות סי' תרעא אות ו [ט] הביא מכמה אחרונים דשייך גם לגבי נכרים.

We discuss the importance of paying attention to the reading of Haftorah. We then turn to the customs of saying Av Harachamim and prayer for departed souls following the reading of the Torah - when these prayers should and should not be said.

We discuss the blessings made on the haftorah.

התוכן "ואשה אחת מנשי בני הנביאים וגו'" [הפטורת פ' וירא]. ומבאר אדה"ז במאמרו: ד"ואשה" קאי על כאו"א מישראל. "צעקה אל אלישע" – זה הקב"ה. "עבדך אישי מת", פי' אישי הוא אש יו"ד, בחי' יו"ד ונקודת הנפש שהי' בבחי' אהבה כרשפי אש – "מת". ובמילא הנושה, היצה"ר, "בא לקחת את שני ילדיי – אהבה ויראה הנולדים מהמוחין – לו לעבדים". "ויאמר אלי' אלישע מה יש לך בבית, ותאמר אין לי כ"א אסוך שמן" – נקודת היהדות.

[מאמר זה קשור עם א' ממאמרי אדמו"ר (מוהרש"ב) נ"ע שמכינים עתה לדפוס והיתה התקוה שיהיו מוכנים לקראת יום ההולדת שלו בכ' מרחשון, ובפועל הספר עדיין לא מוכן...]חלק מהאמר אור לכ' מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-11-2024 Synopsis On the Haftorah, “A woman of the wives of the disciples of the prophets…” the Alter Rebbe explains in a maamar: The “woman” refers to every Jew. “Elisha” refers to Hashem. “Your servant, my husband (ishi) has died” – refers to the level of eish-yud, where the yud (the inner core of the soul) being expressed in fiery love. But this level “has died,” and therefore the “creditor” – the yetzer hara, “has come to take my two children” – the love and awe, which are born from the the intellect – “for himself as slaves.” “And Elisha said to her…'what do you have in the house?' And she said…nothing but a jug of oil.'” The oil is the soul's inner core; Elisha told her to borrow “empty vessels,” and “not a few,” meaning, although the vessels are empty, as above, nevertheless you must fill them from the inner core, and in this way, “You and your sons will live with the remainder” – the service stemming from the level of Sovev Kol Almin. The lesson is that when a Jew has fallen from his previous level – “one who falls from their level is considered dead” – he shouldn't become discouraged, because the purpose of the fall is to later rise up to an even higher level. And this happens through the “empty vessels” – the service of teshuvah. (There's a related maamar of the Rebbe Rashab, which is included in the sefer currently being prepared for print; I hoped it would be ready in time for the birthday on 20 Cheshvan, but the sefer hasn't yet been completed…)Excerpt from maamar (k'ein sichah) of 20 Marcheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-11-2024 לזכות פריידא בת צירל שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה י"ד מרחשון - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

In this shiur, delivered in Tomer Devorah, Rav Burg explores the Haftorah that deals with the Isha Shunamis who did not ask Elisha for a bracha to have children despite her barren state. Only when we dare to love, when we have the deep conviction that we are enough even when we gey hurt, can we truly be alive.

Chassidus Morning Class: This class was presented on Monday, 26 Tishrei, 5784, October 28, 2024, Parshas Noach, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. This text-based class is the first one on the Maamar by the Alter Rebbe “Ki Ka'asher Hashamyim,” in Torah Or Bereishis. This discourse was said by the Alter Rebbe on Shabbos Vaeira, Rosh Chodesh Shevat, 5567, 1807, beginning on a verse from the Haftorah of Shabbos Rosh Chedesh. It explores the creation of heaven and earth, and the creation of a new heaven and earth during the time of redemption. The Maamar delves into the dance of Rotzo and Shuv, tension and resolution, today and during the time of the redemption.

Incredibly empowering sicha to go into Rosh Hashanah and daven our hearts out. Story of Chana, Haftorah of RH. Even if just for a few minutes! To know we are talking to Hashem, clear our own agenda in bitul and Hashem should bentch us in amazing ways, above nature and even above Torahs rules! Davening = Super Powerful May we all have a truly sweet new year with only revealed brachos of parnassah, children, nachas, shalom bayis, shidduchim, health and the ultimate tefillah being answered with the coming of Moshiach! (Likkutei Sichos, Rosh Hashana/Vov Tishrei, Chelek Chof Tes pg 182)

Sefer Ovadia. A seemingly simple, one chapter prophecy that many read as a Haftorah but few really attempt to understand. In this special epis, Jake Turx, Senior White House Correspondent for Ami Magazine takes us through his journey as he attempted to shed light on the deeper and hidden meanings behind Sefer Ovadia, and he attempts to answer: was this a prophecy detailing events going on right now?

Parshas Veschanan, Words of Resilience The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel.  May G-d protect our brave soldiers.  May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.  The Parsha Perspective is in honor of the Refuah Shlema of Yakkov Ben Esther. May all those who need experience a speedy and complete recovery with G-d's help.  The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. This Shabbos is affectionately known as Shabbos Nachamu, the Shabbos of comforting. This name comes from this week's Haftorah, the first of seven where G-d comforts us for our pain and suffering. The prophet Yeshayahu reassures us that G-d has not forgotten us, heaven forbid. The Haftorah begins with Yeshayahu telling the Jewish nation, נחמו נחמו עמי יאמר אלקיכם - "Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your G-d." May we experience this comfort, reassurance, and the ultimate redemption speedily in our days. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com  Our Parsha begins with Moshe Rabbeinu continuing his final address to the Jewish people.  He recounts how he begged G-d to let him enter the land of Israel and how G-d refused his request. Instead, he was instructed to climb a mountain where he would see the land from afar. We find out when Moshe Rabbeinu prayed to enter the land of Israel.  We learn the prayer to not stumble or hesitate when defending and proclaiming God's Oneness.

We read a special Haftorah beginning with the words "Chazon Yeshayahu - the vision of Yeshayahu."  Yeshayahu prophesied both punishments for rebellion against G-d and the ultimate redemption with the coming of Moshiach! Our Parsha begins the last book of the Torah, Sefer Devarim. With just 37 days left to live, Moshe gathers the nation for his final address. He rebukes them for their past misdeeds and lack of trust in G-d. We find how God prepared the path for the Jewish people. We learn who fights our wars when we are following God's path! 

The Malbim suggests that Yeshayahu answers an important question in the Haftorah of Shabbat Chazon.

Why is it the Jews were unfaithful in times of prosperity but faithful in times of persecution?

This morning we distinguish between counting the Omer in last week's Parsha (Emor), with counting the years to Yovel, the jubilee year, in this week's Parsha (Behar). Rabbi Jonathan Sacks draws our attention to the former being every person's counting of days in the immediate future, and the latter being the counting of leaders, including our leadership of ourselves, where we consider the long term we want and how to get there. We dramatically demonstrate this with this week's Haftorah (passage we read this Shabbat from the prophet Jeremiah), which, on the surface, only a notary could love.

This week's Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—combines two passages and covers 2 Kings 4:42–5:19 and 7:3–20. These Prophet readings accompany the Torah portions Tazria (Leviticus 12:1–13:59) and Metzora (Leviticus 14:1–15:33).These Haftorahs relate the history of two miracles. The first caused the Syrian general Naaman to declare: “Now I know that there is no God in the whole world except in Israel!” The second was the supernatural rescue of the city of Samaria from a Syrian invasion.

A weekly shiur by Dayan Levi Yitzchok Raskin, Rov of Anash in London, explores interesting Torah questions and halachic dilemmas. The following issues are discussed by Dayan Raskin in this week's episode: 1) My two-year-old developed chicken-pox. I sent my one-year-old to a child-minder. The following night the one-year-old also has chicken-pox, as do several children that were at the child-minder. Those children had to be kept home, and the child-minder had a loss of income. Do I have financial liability for any of the above? [1] 2) Is Pinyata kosher? [2] 3) The Shulchan Oruch says to rebuke one who is learning during Chazaras haShatz. Does that mean that one is permitted to embarrass the offender? [3] 4) It is customary to look towards the Chazan when he says Birkas Kohanim. Is facing that direction sufficient or should one endeavour to see the Chazan? [4] 5) I'm having a party and I'm expecting some non-Shabbos observant Jews. I'm making cocktails with wine. Does the wine need to be mevushal? [5] 6) At Shacharis on Purim, is the Sefer Torah returned to the Oron Kodesh before the reading of the Megilah or afterwards? [6] 7) The new Chabad Kitzur Shulchan Oruch has a note to bang during the communal recital of the list of the ten sons of Homon. Is that widely followed?[7] 8) My oldest brother was born with a health-defect and he passed away after two weeks from birth. Regarding the Fast of Firstborns, am I counted as a firstborn?[8] 9) Story in Sefer haMinhogim re. Rebbe Rashab and the Kaddish after Krias haTorah:[9] 10) Feedback on Haftorah of Pekudei when Shkolim superseded Vayakhel; is Haftorah of Vayakhel ever read?

This morning we tackle the unanswerable question, how could the Jewish People have made a Golden Calf just forty days after hearing God command them not to do it? We explore the insight of Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, that though there may be no answer, there is an explanation. And it is dramatically demonstrated in the subtle connection of the Torah portion, Ki Tissah, to the Haftorah, the famous showdown between Eliyahu and the priests of Baal. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

MIKEITZ Can You Split the Child? In the Haftorah we read of the famous story, when King Solomon is asked to preside over the case of two women arguing over the guardianship of a child. The wisest of all men issues a ruling, which has long been hailed as a brilliant solution to the quarrel: let the child be split in half, and each woman will receive her share. This of course, exposed the legitimate mother, namely the woman willing to forego her ‘share' of the child, in favor of not cutting him, heaven forbid. In this shiur we will analyze this episode more in depth, and challenge some if its premises, to extract profound life lessons from it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mendy-goldberg/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mendy-goldberg/support

This episode discusses the Haftorah we lein on Yom Kippur, where Yeshayah Hanavi teaches us how to make a significant change in our lives to maintain the spirit of Yom Kippur all year.

Does Ezekiel 38-39, the traditional Haftorah portion for Sukkot, involve a second country that is being attacked at the same time by the same group of nations?  If so, who is that country?  The traditional understanding is that this great war will occur in the 7th month, Tishrei, which begins in September.  How close are we?  Will the our own inability to forgive our past sins interfere with our relationship with the Lord?  What future hurdle will be presented to those who presently refuse to accept that Yeshua is Yehovah?  Please join Bonnie for a discussion of spiritual preparedness for the battle to come.
