This write-up has been reviewed, but if any errors remain, we welcome corrections. 06-01-25 ; 06-04-25 ; 06-05-25 ; 06-08-25 May a Sofer Write or Assemble Tefillin at Night? The Question Is it permissible for a sofer (scribe) to write or assemble Tefillin at night? And if one does so, is the Tefillin considered valid? This question impacts sofrim, and purchasers of Tefillin, especially when Tefillin are urgently needed or produced under pressure. Writing Tefillin at Night The Gemara discusses whether writing Tefillin at night is allowed. The Halacha ultimately rules that it is permissible for a sofer to write Tefillin at night, provided he has proper lighting and kavana. However, the process of assembling Tefillin—particularly inserting the written parchments into the batim (boxes)—is a separate issue. The Rule of Ta'aseh Ve'lo Min He'asuy The Torah commands that a Misva be done actively—Ta'aseh—and not passively—Min He'asuy. If the Misva comes into being on its own without direct intent or action, it is invalid. This principle is critical when it comes to assembling Tefillin. Some Poskim argue that if the batim are sealed or completed at night in a manner that finishes the Tefillin, this could violate the rule of Ta'aseh Ve'lo Min He'asuy, especially if done without the proper kavanot. Therefore, writing the parshiot (scrolls) at night is permitted, but assembling them at night is subject to debate. Comparison to Tzitzit and the Tallet This question is similar to the issue of tying Tzitzit onto a Tallet at night. There, too, some opinions require the Misva to be performed during the day to satisfy the criteria of Ta'aseh Ve'lo Min He'asuy, while others are more lenient if the proper intent is present. The same applies here to Tefillin assembly. Lechatehila vs. Bediavad • Lechatehila (ideal practice): One should not assemble Tefillin at night. The parts can be prepared, but final assembly should be done during the day. • Bediavad (a permissible leniency, though it is not the preferred approach): If Tefillin were assembled at night, they are still valid according to many opinions, especially if done properly with intent and lighting. Kabbalistic Considerations Although the Halacha allows writing Tefillin at night, some kabbalistic sources discourage it. Nighttime is considered a time of judgment and impurity, not ideal for producing sacred items. Still, this is not binding Halacha, and the written Tefillin remain kosher. Summary • Writing Tefillin at night is permitted, though some prefer to avoid it based on Kabbalah. • Assembling Tefillin at night is not ideal, but permitted Bediavad, as long as it is done properly. • The rule of Ta'aseh Ve'lo Min He'asuy applies when the Misva comes into being without proper action, and care must be taken not to violate it. • Best practice: Do the final assembly during daylight hours to avoid all concerns.

In this heart-open, mind-stretching class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dives headfirst into one of the most profound questions ever asked: Who wrote the Torah and what do we mean by G-d? Sparked by a challenge from Ilana, a thoughtful soul who just "won the raffle" and then handed Rabbi Bernath some of the hardest theological questions he's faced, this class isn't a debate, it's a bridge. Drawing from Torah, Talmud, Rambam, Tanya, Harari, Einstein, Spinoza, and Chassidic mystics, we explore traditional belief, academic scholarship, and the honest soul-searching that sits between them.Is the Torah a divine blueprint or a human masterpiece? Or… could it be both?Together, we walk a path between Sinai and the seminar room, from ancient revelation to modern doubt and discover that sometimes, the questions themselves are the invitation to a deeper relationship with truth.Key Takeaways:Traditional Belief Holds Depth: Torah mi-Sinai means Moses recorded divine revelation over 40 years. It's not simplistic, it's layered and deeply rooted in Jewish collective memory.Modern Scholarship Brings Honest Challenges: Thinkers like Harari argue that the Torah was assembled over centuries, reflecting political and social needs. These critiques must be addressed, not ignored.Kabbalah and Chassidus Provide a Bridge: Divine revelation doesn't exclude human expression. The Torah flowed through Moses' voice and personality, G-d worked with human vessels.Assumptions Shape Interpretation: Believers and skeptics alike interpret the same data through different axioms. Acknowledging this fosters respectful dialogue rather than defensiveness.The Torah's Endurance Is Itself a Testament: Its moral vision, power to unite, and enduring relevance across time and culture hint at something more than human genius, it points toward the Divine.This Is Not About “Winning” an Argument: It's about honesty, humility, and the courage to explore big questions together.The Torah Is a Living Document: Beyond history or philosophy, Torah continues to speak—not just inform, but transform. That may be its greatest proof of all.#Torah #God #Judaism #sinai #Moses #Divinerevelation #Documentaryhypothesis #YuvalNoahHarari #Kabbalah #Jewishtradition #BiblicalCrticism #Tanya #Spinoza #chassidus #Faith #theology Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

In this compelling episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" sits down with renowned Taoist monk, doctor, and filmmaker Dr. Pedram Shojai for a deeply introspective and enlightening conversation. From escaping Iran during the revolution to becoming a student of global spiritual traditions—including Taoism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, and Sufism—Dr. Shojai shares how his early search for truth and healing led him beyond traditional medicine into the realms of energy, consciousness, and self-mastery. The two dive into the pitfalls of modern spiritual marketing, the importance of personal agency in health and healing, and the dangers of avoiding emotional confrontation. Dr. Shojai also reflects on his studies with legendary teachers, his experiences with the Dalai Lama, and how the simplest practices—like silence, breathwork, and time in nature—can unlock profound wisdom. This episode is a powerful reminder that true transformation doesn't come from products or gurus, but from within.Website-https://theurbanmonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpedramshojai/?hl=en

In the final installment of our series on Kabbalah, we shift from exposing its occultic origins to offering a robust Christian apologetic response. After tracing Kabbalah's evolution from ancient mystery religions, Greek paganism, and gnostic mysticism, we now ask: how should Christians respond?Is Kabbalah simply another spiritual path—or a dangerous distortion of biblical truth? What does the gospel of Jesus Christ offer that Kabbalah never can?Brian Crawford and Will Spencer return to help us confront the theological errors of Kabbalah and equip believers to stand firm in the truth of Scripture.Partner With Us: HERE Purchase: The Scandal of a Divine Messiah Brian's Website: HEREWill Spencer's Website and Podcast: HERE

En este episodio Manipulando la Verdad, exploraremos cómo, cuando decidimos que queremos algo, a menudo comenzamos a manipular la realidad para que se ajuste a nuestras expectativas. Hablaremos de cómo, si ya hemos decidido que algo o alguien es malo, es difícil cambiar nuestra perspectiva y en su lugar, encontramos excusas reactivas que nos protegen, pero que también pueden llevarnos al mal de ojo. A veces podemos caer en manipular nuestra percepción para mantener lo que queremos. #manipulandolaverdad #reflexion #perspectivas #veracidad #InfusiónEspiritual #Kabbalah #CrecimientoPersonal #Desconocido #EstarPresente #Espiritualidad #KabbalahCentre #CentroDeKabbalah #podcast #podcastenespanol #infusionespiritualdelasemana
