Podcasts about Kislev

MAKE YIDDUSHKITE GREAT AGAIN!! #dveikus #onlyYouRelistening to this I realized I forgot Kislev! Lol ! Yet it's still always exactly how it's supposed to be:)

We read in Parashat Pekudeh (40:2) of G-d's command to Moshe that the completed Mishkan should be erected on Rosh Hodesh Nissan, the first day of the month of Nissan. The Midrash tells that in truth, the artisans built the various parts of the Mishkan very quickly, and the Mishkan was ready to be assembled already earlier, on the 25 th of Kislev, a little over two months after the work began. However, Hashem decided to postpone the assembly of the Mishkan until the month of Nissan, due to the unique significance of this month. The Midrash continues that the 25 th of Kislev "protested," as it were, objecting to its having been denied the privilege of being a special day, the day of the Mishkan's inauguration. Hashem assured this day that it will be compensated – and, sure enough, many centuries later, the 25 th of Kislev became the first day of the joyous holiday of Hanukah, celebrating the Jews' miraculous triumph over the Greeks and the rededication of the Bet Ha'mikdash, which the Greeks had defiled. The day of 25 Kislev was at first denied its holiday – but it was later compensated with "interest." Whereas the first of Nissan, commemorating the inauguration of the temporary Mishkan, is not marked by a great deal of fanfare, the 25 th of Kislev became a day of great festivity observed by Jews around the world for millennia. The Midrash's comments bring to mind a different Midrashic account, regarding the fish in the Yam Suf (Sea of Reeds). When Hashem drowned the 600 Egyptian horsemen who had pursued Beneh Yisrael into the sea, the fish were overjoyed, and prepared to indulge in the robust feast that had just been presented to them. But just as they were set to eat, the bodies of the Egyptian horsemen were sent ashore. Beneh Yisrael feared that the soldiers had not drowned, but rather came ashore, and thus still posed a threat. In order to allay the people's concerns, Hashem had the sea expel the remains of the Egyptian warriors onto the shore where they were standing, so they would see them and know that their pursuers were indeed dead, and they were thus no longer in danger. The fish were, naturally, disappointed over the sudden loss of the large amounts of food that they thought they would soon be enjoying. Hashem repaid the fish years later, during the battle waged by Beneh Yisrael in the times of the prophetess Deborah against the army of Sisera. During this war, Hashem drowned the enemy's 900 chariots in the Kishon River. As compensation for having lost the 600 Egyptian horsemen – the fish were given 900 Canaanite soldiers. This is a reason given for the custom that many have to ensure to eat fish on Shabbat. Many people might have serious misgivings about closing their businesses on Shabbat, or about taking off from work, worrying about the loss of income. The fish reminds them that Hashem always repays in full – and with "interest" – for the sacrifices we make for Misvot. Whatever expense or loss we incur for the sake of a Misva is more than worth it – because we are guaranteed to receive much more than we've lost. The Gemara (Besa 15b) teaches that Hashem tells us: "My children! Borrow on My account to make the day [of Shabbat] sacred, and trust Me that I will repay." Hashem guarantees that all the money we spend for Shabbat and holidays is being charged to His account, and He will repay us in full. And, as we have seen, He not only repays the money we spend, but also gives us much more. Performing Misvot is always the greatest investment we can ever make, one which guarantees to bring us the most profitable returns.

התוכן מאסרו של אדה"ז בא כתוצאה מהפצת "שיטת חסידות חב"ד" לכלל ישראל, ומזה מובן שהגאולה של י"ט כסלו היא גם הגאולה והנצחון של כללות "שיטת חסידות חב"ד" – שזה יכול להגיע, וזה יגיע סוף סוף, לכל אחד ואחת מישראל, ובאופן של "פדה בשלום נפשי". החידוש של שיטת "חסידות חב"ד" על "חסידות הכללית" הוא, שזה יבוא באופן של הבנה והשגה, שזה משפיע על הרגש שבלב עד גם על המעשה. כי אע"פ שה"מעשה הוא העיקר", אבל רואים בפועל שכאשר זה בא ביחד עם ההבנה והשגה בשכל ועם רגש שבלב, אז המעשה הוא באופן גדול, עמוק וחי יותר. וכידוע תורת הבעש"ט עה"פ "כי תראה חמור .. עזוב תעזוב עמו", שאין לשבור את הגוף ונפה"ב, אלא אדרבה – לעבוד את ה' יחד אתם. ביחד עם ההוספה של שיטת חב"ד – שלא רק שכח המעשה מסכים לזה, אלא כל כחות הגוף, כולל השכל שבמוח, עובדים את ה'. הזכרון של חג הגאולה היום צ"ל באופן שזה יביא אור וחיות בעבודת ה' בהווה. א' השיחות דהתוועדות י"ט כסלו ה'תשכ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-02-2025 Synopsis Since the Alter Rebbe's imprisonment came as a result of disseminating the approach of Chabad Chassidus to all Jews, it is understood that the redemption of 19 Kislev was also the redemption and triumph of Chabad Chassidus – so that it can and ultimately will reach every single Jew, and in a manner of peace – “He has redeemed my soul in peace.” The novelty Chabad Chassidus compared to general Chassidus is the emphasis on intellectual comprehension and understanding, which influences the emotions of the heart and, ultimately, one's actions. For although “action is the main thing,” when action is accompanied by intellectual comprehension and heartfelt emotion, the action becomes greater and deeper, and attains more vitality, as we see in practice. As the Baal Shem Tov taught on the verse, “When you see a donkey (chamor)... you shall surely help along with him,” that one should not try to break the body and the animal soul, but on the contrary, to serve Hashem together with them – and with the additional dimension added by the Chabad approach, that not only does the faculty of action agree to it and serve Hashem, but all the faculties of the body, including the intellect of the mind. Our commemoration of 19 Kislev is not just a memory, but must inject light and vitality into our Divine service in the present.Sichah from farbrengen of 19 Kislev 5729 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-02-2025

The holiday of Hanukah begins on the 25th of Kislev and continues for eight days. As the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat (21) relates, on the 25th of Kislev the Hashmonaim defeated the Greek oppressors and rededicated the Bet Ha'mikdash. As part of this process they kindled the Menora with the only jug of pure oil they found, and the candles of the Menora miraculously burned for eight days. The Bet Yosef (commentary to the Tur by Maran, author of the Shulhan Aruch) raised the question (in Orah Haim, 670) of why we celebrate this miracle for eight days. The Gemara clearly states that the jug contained enough oil to sustain the candles for one day. If so, then the first day's burning was not miraculous at all, and the miracle was in fact only seven days. Why, then, do we celebrate Hanukah for eight days? The Bet Yosef suggests three answers. First, he writes that the Kohanim anticipated that it would take eight days for new pure oil to arrive, so already on the first day they divided the small jug of oil into eight parts, and lit the candles with one part each day. The miracle was thus that each day, one-eighth of the jug of oil sustained the candles for an entire day, a period that normally required an entire jug. Hence, the miracle in fact spanned the entire eight-day period. Secondly, the Bet Yosef suggests that when the Kohanim entered the Mikdash each morning, they noticed that the jug remained full – even though they had used all its oil for kindling the Menora the night before. This occurred each morning for eight days, and thus the miracle was indeed an eight-day event. Finally, the Bet Yosef writes that perhaps the lamps of the Menora remained filled with oil each morning, and the miracle was thus that the oil in the lamps burned without being depleted. This, too, would account for the eight-day celebration. The holiday of Hanukah was enacted by the Sages, and thus does not have the status of a Torah obligation. For this reason, we do not add a ninth day to this holiday in the Diaspora, the way we add a day to other holidays. This extra day is observed only in conjunction with holidays established by the Torah, as opposed to the Rabbinically-ordained festivals of Hanukah and Purim. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 670:1; listen to audio recording for precise citation) writes that it is forbidden to fast or eulogize on Hanukah. Working, he writes, is permissible, though there is a custom for women to desist from working while the Hanukah candles burn (or at least during the first half-hour after they are lit). The Magen Abraham (Rabbi Abraham Gombiner, Poland, 1637-1683) explains that this custom commemorates the story of Yehudit, a Jewish woman who heroically killed a Greek general. (Some sources indicate that the story of Yehudit did not occur during the Jews' battle against the Greeks, but rather earlier, during the period of Greek oppression. Either way, her heroism is certainly worthy of commemoration on Hanukah.) By contrast, the Maharil (Rabbi Yaakov Halevi Moelin, Germany, 1355-1427) held that both men and women should refrain from work while the candles burn. The Bet Yosef explained that this practice serves to demonstrate that the candles were lit to publicize the miracle, and not for personal use. By abstaining from work while the candles burn, we show that we did not kindle them to provide light for our normal activities, but rather to commemorate the great miracle of Hanukah. Additionally, this custom helps ensure that a person spends some time reflecting on the Hanukah miracle. It is thus proper after lighting the Hanukah candles not to immediately return to one's normal affairs, but to instead sit and spend time celebrating the miracle. The Kaf Ha'haim (Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939) comments (670:10) that there are women who vow during times of danger to refrain from working while the Hanukah candles burn. Many women, he writes, have earned salvation by taking such a vow. It is thus a valuable and worthwhile custom to refrain from work while the Hanukah candles are lit, at least for some of the days of Hanukah. The Shulhan Aruch rules that there is no obligation to eat festive meals on Hanukah, since this holiday celebrates a spiritual, rather than physical, victory. The Greeks sought not to destroy the Jewish people, but rather to destroy the Jewish religion. This is as opposed to the Purim story, when Haman sought to annihilate us as a people. The physical salvation of Purim is thus celebrated through festive eating and drinking, while Hanukah is observed as a mainly spiritual victory, rather than a physical triumph. Nevertheless, some authorities write that it is admirable to have festive celebrations on Hanukah, to commemorate the completion of the Mishkan's construction in the wilderness, which took place on Hanukah. The Rama (Rabbi Moshe Isserles, Poland, 1525-1572) writes that if these meals contain words of Torah and songs of praise to God, then they certainly have the status of a "Misva meal." Of course, on Rosh Hodesh Tebet (which falls on Hanukah) one should have a special meal, just as on every Rosh Hodesh. This obviously applies to Shabbat Hanukah, as well. The Ben Ish Hai (Rabbi Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) records a custom to light a special candle on Rosh Hodesh Tebet in memory of the famous Tanna, Rabbi Meir Ba'al Ha'nes. There is a custom to eat cheese and other dairy products on Hanukah, since Yehudit (in the incident mentioned above) fed the general dairy products which eventually led to him going to sleep, whereupon she succeeded in assassinating him.

Due to the brave actions of Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava, who defied the Roman decree forbidding semicha (ordination), the tradition of rabbinic ordination continued. Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava was killed for this act, but not before he ordained Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Yehuda, Rabbi Shimon, Rabbi Yosi, and Rabbi Elazar ben Shamoa. Rav Avia added that Rabbi Nechemia was also ordained at this time. While the story appears to suggest that one person alone could perform ordination, this contradicts a braita requiring three judges. The Gemara resolves this contradiction by explaining that two others must have been present with Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi ruled that rabbinic ordination cannot occur outside of Israel. The Gemara explores whether someone in Israel could ordain someone in Babylonia through written authorization or a messenger. The conclusion is that ordination requires the physical presence of both parties - the ordainer and the one being ordained must be together in person, as demonstrated by several stories of failed attempts at ordination on account of the distance. Rabbi Zeira initially hid to avoid ordination, believing it better to remain humble and avoid positions of power. However, upon hearing that one's sins are forgiven when rising to a position of authority, he agreed to be ordained. Regarding the egla arufa ceremony, Rabbi Shimon holds it requires three judges, while Rabbi Yehuda requires five. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov presents a third position not mentioned in the Mishna - that the king and High Priest must also participate. Rav Yosef concludes that Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov requires the entire Great Sanhedrin to attend, supporting this with a tannatic source. While Abaye interprets this source differently, a braita is brought supporting Rav Yosef's reading. Maaser sheni whose value is unclear must be evaluated by three people. What Is meant by the term "whose value is unclear"? What kind of people can do the evaluation? The Mishna also states that evaluation of consecrated movable items requires three judges. This contradicts Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov's position requiring ten, which he derives from the word 'kohen' appearing ten times in Vayikra 27 in the section about consecrated items. The Gemara leaves unanswered the question of how the rabbis derive their requirement of three judges.

How is the calculation to determine whether or not to intercalate the year based on the equinox performed? Is it determined by the autumnal equinox or the spring equinox? Does all of Sukkot need to fall in the autumn, or is it sufficient if just one day (the last) is in the autumn season? Additionally, is the equinox considered the last day of the previous season or the first day of the upcoming season? These questions are the subject of debate among the Tannaim. How many elders are required for semicha on the bull offering? Rabbi Yehuda holds that five are needed, while Rabbi Shimon says three. From which verses in the Torah does each derive their opinion? Another braita mentions "semicha" and "semicha of the elders"—one of which is interpreted as referring to the ordination of a rabbi. From where do we derive that three judges are required, and is it truly the case that it can only be done in the presence of three?  

Today's daf is sponsored by Mona Fishbane in loving memory of her beloved mother-in-law and best buddy Bernice Fishbane z”l.  The decision to intercalate the year must take place after Rosh Hashanah, and the only way to do so is by adding an additional month of Adar. The year cannot be intercalated during a famine or in the Sabbatical year, as this would delay permitting the new crop to be eaten, compounding difficulties during already challenging times. There is a debate regarding the year following the Sabbatical year. This debate hinges on another discussion about whether or not one can import produce from abroad. It is prohibited to intercalate three years in a row or to decide in one year to intercalate the following year. Rabbi Yehuda and the rabbis disagree about whether the impurity of the community regarding the Passover sacrifice can be a factor in adding a leap year. A story from the time of Chizkiyahu is cited to shed light on this topic. However, there are several interpretations of the story’s details and its relevance to this issue. Shmuel maintained that one cannot intercalate the year on the thirtieth day of Adar, as that day could potentially be the first day of Nissan.

Today’s daf is sponsored by Mindy and Eric Hecht in loving memory of Dr. Charles Feldman, z”l. "He would have loved to have been part of this learning community and is surely looking down on his many family members who learn the daf with much pride. He is missed every day."  Today's daf is sponsored by Naomi Oxman in loving memory of her mother, Sara "Bubaleh" Younger on her 6th yahrzeit. "We miss you much and think of you and Dad every day!"  Today’s daf is sponsored by the Hadran Women of Long Island for the refua shleima to our friend and co-learner Rikki Zibbit, who is recovering from surgery. "We daven that you will continue to recuperate, and be able to use your new knee to dance at many smachot." Today's daf is sponsored by Vicky Harari in loving memory of her mother Tzipora bat Rachel. "Her persistent inner strength, resilience and eternal optimism inspire me daily."  Rava teaches that self-incriminating testimony is not accepted in court, and this principle extends to testimony against one's spouse. However, this does not apply to testimony about one's possessions. There is a dispute regarding the required court size for cases involving lashes. The rabbis hold these cases require three judges, while Rabbi Yishmael requires twenty-three. Abaye explains that Rabbi Yishmael derives this through a gezeira shava (textual comparison) from capital cases. Rava, however, views lashes as a substitute for capital punishment. The term "ibur hachodesh" in the Mishna has four different interpretations. Regarding the intercalation of the year, Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel outlines a three-stage process: beginning with three judges, deliberating with five, and concluding with seven. The Tosefta Sanhedrin 2:1 elaborates on this view. Two explanations are offered for the significance of these specific numbers (3, 5, and 7).

On what criteria is the decision made to intercalate the month? One of the criteria is that it needs to be done by those chosen by the Nasi. A case is brought where an uninvited individual participated, and Rabban Gamliel asked whoever was not invited to leave. Shmuel HaKatan, to avoid embarrassing the individual, took the blame upon himself. Other rabbis have also acted in similar ways in different situations to prevent causing embarrassment to others. The decision to intercalate the year requires the approval of the Nasi. When making this decision, several factors are considered, while others are not. In addition to practical concerns like roads still being wet, three primary factors are evaluated: The readiness of the new grain crop, the ripening of new fruits, and the date of the equinox. Furthermore, the majority of the three main regions of Israel—Judea, the Galilee, and Trans-Jordan—are taken into consideration. The decision to intercalate must be made during the day, not at night.

Study Guide Sanhedrin 9 Today's daf is sponsored by Adina Gewirtz in loving memory of her father, Mel Rishe. "He loved learning, loved and served the state of Israel as a lawyer, and would be thrilled to see the learning that has flourished with Hadran."  Today’s daf is sponsored by Art Gould in loving memory of Carol Robinson's father Louis Robinson, Yehuda Leib ben Moshe, z”l. “Today, the first day of Hanukkah, we mark his 25th yahrtzeit. Lou was a devoted family man and active participant in his synagogue. He could fix anything. When one of his girls was on a date, he never went to bed until she was safely home."  Under what circumstances do Rabbi Meir and the rabbis debate whether a defamation case should be heard by a court of three or twenty-three judges, and what underlies their disagreement? Four additional suggestions are presented (bringing the total to eight) to address this question. Rav Yosef presents a law concerning defamation. Generally, when someone faces both capital punishment and a monetary obligation for the same act, they are exempt from the monetary payment. However, in a defamation case, there can be a situation where both penalties apply. If a husband brings witnesses against his wife, and then the father brings witnesses who prove the first group to be eidim zomemim (false witnesses), and subsequently the husband brings witnesses who prove the father's witnesses to be zomemim, the father's witnesses receive both capital punishment (for attempting to have the first group of witnesses executed) and must pay the husband (the penalty he would have owed his wife had their testimony been accepted). These dual punishments are possible because the death penalty stems from their attempt to execute the husband's witnesses, while the monetary payment relates to their attempted financial penalty to the husband himself. Rav Yosef offers a second ruling: When someone testifies against another person but incriminates themselves in the process, their entire testimony is inadmissible because they are considered a sinner, and a sinner's testimony is not accepted in court. Rava, however, disagrees. He maintains that we can divide the testimony, accepting what the witness says about others while disregarding their self-incriminating statements, since one's testimony against oneself is not legally binding for self-incrimination.

In general, a parent's tefilot on behalf of their children's success in Torah and mitzvot goes a very long way, but now, specifically on Chanukah, parents have a golden opportunity to utilize these days for extra heartfelt tefilot which count even more. The Yosef Ometz writes, as well as the Peleh Yo'etz , that right after lighting the Chanukah candles, the women should pray for their sons to be illuminated in Torah because during that time it is an et ratzon and the tefilot go straight to Shamayim . The sefer Chanukah B'Tzion writes when the parents light the Chanukah candles, they should make sure that their children are present, because each child is like a candle and when the parent lights, they are also illuminating the neshama of each child as well. There is so much kedusha at the time of hadlakat nerot and we should utilize this great opportunity on all eight nights of Chanukah. Rabbi Menachem Stein told about an episode he had on the first night of Chanukah six years ago. It was Motzaei Shabbat and when he picked up his cellphone, he saw that he had dozens of missed calls from the same number. When Rabbi Stein called back, the anonymous caller answered on the first ring. And without even introducing himself, he asked the Rabbi if he lit the Chanukah candles yet. When the Rabbi answered that he hadn't, the caller released an audible sigh of relief. Then he proceeded to share his story. Turned out he wasn't such a stranger after all. He was a close friend of Rabbi Stein's son Uriah who had passed away following an extended illness, leaving a widow and four orphans. The caller related that Uriah appeared to him in his dream on three different occasions with the same message, which went something like this. "My friend, you know that I left behind four tinokot shel bet rabban , one of whom is just taking his first step in limud haTorah . A Jewish child cannot grow without tefilot , so I am asking you to please approach my mother and implore her, in my name, to pray for her grandson that he should grow and ascend in Torah and yirat Shamayim ." With that, Uriah's image faded from his dream. This man woke up immediately after the first dream and thought to himself, it's just a dream. But then the dream repeated itself just a few days later. But again, he did not act upon it. Until it happened a third time, on lel Shabbat the 24 th of Kislev. This time, Uriah added the following message. "I am going to reveal to you a special Heavenly secret. Ask my mother to seize the et ratzon while my father is lighting Chanukah candles to pray for my children. Ask her to pray with a full and complete heart for my son's success in limud Torah and yirat Shamayim ." "This Motzaei Shabbat , Klal Yisrael will light the first Chanukah candle and, knowing my father, he will certainly light as soon as he can. I am begging you to ensure that we do not lose even one day of this auspicious time. Please call him when Shabbat is over so that my mother will be able to use this special time to pray for my son. It is up to your zerizut on this Motzaei Shabbat ." And with that he faded away. And indeed, right after that, Rav Menachem Stein related this dream to his wife who used that precious time to pray on behalf of her orphaned grandson. We can only imagine how emotional her tefila was during that candle lighting after getting that Heavenly message regarding its importance and how much of an impact it can have on a child's neshama . We as well have the exact same opportunity to pray for our children and our grandchildren to become illuminated with the great light of Torah.

Study Guide Sanhedrin 8 Today's daf is sponsored by Gila Pollack in loving memory of her mother in law, Menorah Rotenberg, Menora bat Sara Gittel v'Yechezkel, who passed away suddenly last week. "Menorah was in the first kindergarten class at Ramaz, and was upset that the girls had to learn sewing instead of Gemara like the boys. She complained to Rabbi Lookstein and was given permission to learn Gemara with the boys. This was just the start of her fighting for equality for women in Jewish life and practice. She will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren and friends."  The sages derive various laws relating to judges by analyzing the verses at the beginning of Devarim, where Moshe explains how he established the court system. A braita then introduces another matter requiring three people - zimun. Initially, the Gemara interprets this as referring to the blessing after eating, but this interpretation is rejected, and zimun is instead explained as a subpoena, which needs to state that three people decided to summon the person to the court. The Mishna states that cases involving double payment for theft must be judged by a court of three. Rav Nachman bar Rav Chisda asked: Can payment of a fine be judged by one specialist as in theft and injuries (that require three judges, but are also able to be ruled by one specialist)? Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak answers from an inference of a statement of Rav that it requires three specialists.   The Mishna also presents a debate between Rabbi Meir and the rabbis regarding a defamer (one who falsely accuses his new wife of not being a virgin when they married). They disagree about whether a court of three or twenty-three should judge such a case. The Gemara explores several explanations for the root of this debate, with most explanations limiting the disagreement to specific scenarios.

Today's daf is sponsored by Rochel Cheifetz in loving memory of her father, Shragai Cohen, שרגא פייוול בן אברהם בן ציון הלוי, whose yahrzeit was 8 Kislev,and her maternal grandparents,רב משה בן יהודה לייב, whose yahrzeit was 4 Kislev and חיה צפורה בת ר׳ יהודה משה, whose yartzeit is today, 23 Kislev. "My father's smile, HUGE love for Israel and sage wisdom are sorely missed."  Today's daf is sponsored by Leah Brick for the refuah shleima to her colleague and friend Jonathan Cohen הרב יהונתן איתן הכהן בן בתשבע ברכה. Today's daf is sponsored by the Hadran Women of Long Island in honor of and as a zechut for our friend and co-learner, Tzippy Wolkenfeld, Fayga Zissel bat Shayna Yosefa, בתוך שאר חולי ישראל who is donating her kidney this morning to someone she has never met. "May both Tzippy and her recipient have an easy and speedy recovery. We salute Tzippy for her willingness to literally give a part of herself to help someone - but we aren’t surprised! May her act of chessed be a zechut for all!" The Gemara delves into the different positions regarding compromise. It explains, based on the braita, that there are four different opinions about whether or not one should use/suggest compromise be used as an alternative to judgment.  What should judges be conscious of when they are ruling? What responsibility do they have? What responsibility is upon the community to appoint the proper judges. What responsibility is on the litigants to prevent perversion of justice?

Today's daf is sponsored in honor of Marcel Loewenberg on his 75th birthday, with love from his children and grandchildren. “We are grateful for the joy of Torah learning you’ve instilled in us.” While Shmuel maintains that a ruling by two judges is valid, Rabbi Abahu disagrees with this position. Rabbi Abba challenges Rabbi Abahu's view from a Mishna in Bechorot 28b, which appears to validate even a single judge's ruling. This apparent contradiction is resolved by explaining that the Mishna refers to a specific case where both litigants explicitly accepted the authority of the single judge to rule on their case. The Mishna in Bechorot addresses a case where the litigants accepted a judge's authority, but he subsequently made an error in his ruling and became liable for any resulting losses. However, if his mistake involved ruling contrary to an explicit Mishna, he bears no liability since such a ruling is automatically void. Consequently, the Gemara concludes that the judge's error must have involved a matter of judgment - specifically, determining which opinion to follow. Here's the edited version with clearer structure and flow: Rabbi Meir and the rabbis dispute whether mediation requires one or three people. The Gemara initially suggests that this debate parallels the disagreement between Rabbi Abahu and Shmuel, as mediation is likened to judgment based on the verse in Samuel II 8:15. However, this parallel is ultimately rejected. Instead, their disagreement centers on whether mediation should be equated with formal judgment at all. Rav Acha explains that the requirement of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel for two people in mediation serves only to ensure proper witnessing of the proceedings - in principle, a single mediator would suffice. Is it necessary to perform a kinyan, act of acquisition, in a mediation proceeding? Here's the edited version with better organization and flow: If judges have concluded proceedings (gmar din) in a case, they can no longer switch to mediation. Rav later provides a precise definition of what constitutes gmar din. The text then explores several fundamental questions regarding mediation and compromise: Is it merely permitted or actually preferred? Could it sometimes be forbidden? If mediation is permitted, at what stage in the legal proceedings does this option expire? Multiple opinions are presented addressing these questions. In Tehillim 10:3 it says that God scorns a botzea who blesses or one who blesses a botzea. Three different interpretations of that verse are brought - one of which relates to mediation and how it is despised by God. The Gemara also explores multiple interpretations of two other relevant verses: Samuel II 8:15, which discusses the relationship between law and charity, and Deuteronomy 1:17, which instructs judges not to fear any person. The discussion concludes with several statements emphasizing the gravity of judicial responsibility and the solemnity with which judges must approach their rulings.  

On the first night of Hanukah, we recite three Berachot over the candle lighting: "Le'hadlik Ner Hanukah"; "She'asa Nissim La'abotenu Ba'yamim Ha'hem Ba'zman Ha'zeh"; "She'hehiyanu." Our community follows the custom to recite as the text of the first Beracha, "Le'hadlik Ner Hanukah." Although the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe Maimonides, Spain-Egypt, 1135-1204) maintained that one should recite, "Le'hadlik Ner Shel Hanukah," adding the word "Shel," and some of the prayer books from Halab follow that opinion, our custom is in accordance with the view of the Shulhan Aruch and the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572) to omit the word "Shel" and recite, "Le'hadlik Ner Hanukah." This was also the view of the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909). The second Beracha, as mentioned, is the blessing of "She'asa Nissim La'abotenu Ba'yamim Ha'hem Ba'zman Ha'zeh," in which we give praise to G-d "who performed miracles for our forefathers, in those days, at this time." The Aruch Ha'shulhan (Rav Yechiel Michel Epstein of Nevarduk, 1829-1908) explained that the phrase "Ba'yamim Ha'hem Ba'zman Ha'zeh" refers to the two miracles which we celebrate on Hanukah – the victory over the Greeks, and the small amount of oil which burned for eight days. The miracle of the oil occurred on the eight days of Hanukah – starting on the 25th of Kislev – and thus when we speak of the miracles performed "Ba'zman Ha'zeh," during this time, we refer to the miracle of the oil. But when we mention the miracles which occurred "Ba'yamim Ha'hem" – "in those days," we refer to the victory over the Greeks, which took place before the days of Hanukah. If a person forgot to recite the Berachot before lighting the candles, he may recite the Berachot after he began lighting, as long as he still has more candles to light. Even though the strict obligation of Hanukah candles requires the lighting of just a single candle, and the others are lit merely as a "Hiddur" (enhancement of the Misva), nevertheless, since the other candles are part of the Misva, one is not considered to have completed the Misva as long as there are more candles to light. Therefore, even after lighting one candle or several candles, the Berachot can still be recited if there are more candles to light. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef and of the Ben Ish Hai. If one realized his mistake only after lighting all the candles, he can no longer recite the Beracha of "Le'hadlik Ner Hanukah," since the Misva has already been fulfilled. He should, however, recite the Beracha of "She'asa Nissim," which (as we will see later) is relevant even to the viewing of Hanukah candles, and is not linked specifically to the act of kindling. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) writes (676:4) that one begins reciting "Ha'nerot Halalu" immediately after lighting the first candle. This means that after the first night, "Ha'nerot Halalu" is recited while one kindles the remaining candles. Others Poskim, however, maintain that one should begin reciting this prayer only after he completes the lighting of all the Hanukah candles. The work Derech Eretz, which documents the practices of the Jewish community of Halab (Aleppo, Syria), writes that different practices existed in this regard. It appears that there was no formally accepted custom as to when precisely the recitation of "Ha'nerot Halalu" should begin. Different texts of "Ha'nerot Halalu" exist. According to the Ben Ish Hai, and according to Kabbalistic tradition, it is proper to recite the text which consists of precisely 36 words, which correspond to the 36 candles lit over the course of the eight days of Hanukah (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8). Some Siddurim have this text, but others do not, and it appears that the community in Halab did not make a point of reciting specifically this text. Regardless, it is preferable to recite this text, in accordance with the teachings of Kabbalah. Incidentally, the Mishna Berura observes that both the word "Ha'nerot" and the word "Halalu" has four letters, and they thus allude to the eight nights of Hanukah. If a person is away from home on one of the nights of Hanukah, and, for whatever reason, he has nobody lighting for him at home, such that he will neither be lighting nor have somebody light for him, he recites the Beracha of "She'asa Nissim" upon seeing Hanukah candles lit by somebody else. This is the ruling of the Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 676). If this happens on the first night of Hanukah, then he also recites the Beracha of "She'hehiyanu." However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef and Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998) note that this requirement to recite a Beracha over seeing the candles applies only if one sees the candles within a half-hour of when they were lit. If a person in this situation saw the candles later, then he does not recite a Beracha, even though he will not be lighting or have anybody lighting for him at home. Summary: The custom in the Syrian Jewish community to recite "Le'hadlik Ner Hanukah" as the first Beracha over the Hanukah candle lighting, as opposed to "Le'hadlik Ner Shel Hanukah." One who forgot to recite the Berachot before lighting, may recite them if he realized his mistake before he completed lighting all the candles. If he realized his mistake only after lighting all the candles, he recites only "She'asa Nissim." Some begin reciting "Ha'nerot Halalu" after lighting the first candle, whereas others wait until all the candles are lit. It is preferable to recite the text of "Ha'nerot Halalu" which consists of 36 words. One who is away from home on a night of Hanukah and will neither be lighting nor have somebody light for him, recites the Beracha of "She'asa Nissim" (and, on the first night, "She'hehiyanu") if he sees Hanukah candles within a half-hour of their having been lit.

This week's learning is sponsored by Jordana Schoor in honor of their son Saadya's marriage to Odel Perets. "Wishing them a home full of love, mazal, and Torah values." Even though it says in the Mishna that a court comprises three judges, there are exceptions. An expert can judge on his own. What determines that someone is an expert judge? Even though an expert does not need to get permission from the Nasi or Exilarch, if the Nasi or Exilarch gives him permission to judge, and he errs in a particular case, he is not obligated to compensate for the loss he caused. While it is clear that the Exilarch's permission exempt a judge ruling in Israel, but can the Nasi's (in Israel) appointment of the judge exempt the judge from liability in Babylonia? The answer is no, as learned from a story regarding Raba bar Hana who received permission from Rabbi Yehuda haNasi to rule, just as he was leaving Israel. In what cases does a judge who makes a mistake, need to pay to compensate for the loss he caused? Rabbi Yehuda haNasi also granted permission to Rav to rule as an expert, just before he went to Babylonia. However, he did not grant him the authority to permit firstborn animals to be eaten by identifying blemishes. Both Rav and Raba bar Hana were nephews of Rabbi Chiya, who was the one who asked Rabbi Yehuda haNasi to permit them both to judge. However, he called Raba the son of his brother and Rav the son of his sister, even though Rav was also the son of his brother. To explain this, the Gemara explains that Rabbi Chiya's half-brother and half-sister married each other and were Rav's parents. Another possible explanation is provided as well. Why did Rabbi Yehuda haNasi not allow Rav to permit firstborn animals? The Gemara brings two possible suggestions. The first explanation is that it was to ensure people would respect Raba bar Hana when he and Rav arrived in Babylonia, as they would see that he had the authority to do something that Rav did not. The second suggestion is that Rav was such an expert that Rabbi Yehuda haNasi was concerned he would permit certain blemishes and people would conclude on their own that blemishes that seemed similar were also permanent blemishes and incorrectly permit firstborn animals. Why did Rabbi Chiya ask Rabbi Yehuda haNasi not only to grant permission to Rav and Raba bar Hana to rule, but also to teach? An answer is brought from a story of a teacher who taught but was misunderstood and caused many people to make a mistake regarding laws of impurity. Therefore, one must also receive permission to teach only if they can teach clearly. Other stories relating to issues about teaching are brought, relating to not issuing a ruling in a city if one's teacher is nearby. Shmuel ruled that if two judges ruled in a case, their judgment would be effective, even though this is considered to be impudent. However, when mediation is done, only two judges are needed to mediate.

Shabbat Shalom!

The kabbalists teach this secret to greater success in anything that we do: before any endeavor in the physical reality, the potential for success lies in our asking for spiritual support - in the form of angels, righteous souls, the Lightforce of the Creator - to begin (and sometimes finish) the work for us! Because everything in our world has its roots in the spiritual worlds, it's always more efficient and fruitful to start with the spiritual side. This helps us access and manifest the limitless possibilities and experience more miracles daily.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.
