Resh Lakish poses a question: What happens to a lulav - a palm branch - from a tree that has been worshipped? That is, in the event that it was planted to begin with in the name of idolatry. Does the use for a mitzvah make it more likely to be permitted? More likely to be forbidden? What about for regular use? Rav Dimi has a different understanding by which to answer Resh Lakish -- consider a tree that was planted for idolatry, and then that status was revoked. Now what, when it comes to mitzvot? Rav Pappa says there's no revocation (in other examples) when it comes to mitzvot. Also, new mishnayot! If one's home abuts the home of an idolater - divide the wall according to thickness. Note - the privacy of the bathroom. Plus, stones that were used to support idols vs. stones that had a covering that was connected to idolatry, and you removed any connection to idolatry....

Sukkot reminds us of the dwellings our ancestors lived in when they were fleeing Egypt, they are the temporary dwellings of refugees. Yet settlers have bastardized the holiday to be about occupying land, and often use the plants of the Lulav to claim Sukkot as a Zionist Holiday.

This meditation focuses on the balance between learning and action, drawing from the symbolic meaning of the Four Species used during Sukkot. Each plant represents different aspects of the spiritual journey. The etrog, symbolizing both Torah study and mitzvot, encourages us to integrate wisdom with righteous action. The lulav, representing knowledge without deeds, reminds us that learning alone is incomplete without application. The myrtle, fulfilling mitzvot without study, teaches that action can still be meaningful even if we lack deep understanding. Lastly, the willow, symbolizing neither study nor practice, invites us to reflect on potential and growth, encouraging us to elevate our lives through both learning and doing. In this meditation, we seek harmony between study and action, recognizing the necessity of both in our spiritual and personal development.

To the contrary: if every mitzvah must be done with joy, to the point of “leaping and dancing” like the Rambam's ruling at the end of the Laws of Lulav – how much more the mitzvah of teshuvah, which is higher than all the mitzvos and therefore has the power to compensate where they are lacking, to the point that “In the place where baalei teshuvah stand, even complete tzaddikim cannot stand.” Moreover: since one must break through his boundaries and negative habits, it is even more important to experience joy, which “breaks through boundaries.” (2) It has been the practice at this farbrengen to contribute to Keren Chana, the fund established to helps Jewish girls receive a kosher and holy Jewish education. With time, when these girls grow up and become the “mainstay of the home” etc., and whoever donates to this fund will have a part in the fruits, and fruits of the fruits, that will grow from the seeds of the coins he donated. And Hashem will respond in kind, “measure for measure,” bestowing His blessings “with a pleasant countenance” etc.Three excerpts from farbrengen of 6 Tishrei 5736 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-10-2024

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

Just one Halacha on Sefirat Haomer. It is our custom, that Ladies do NOT count Sefirat Haomer. There's a great Machloket between the Sephardim and the Ashkenazim if ladies make a Beracha on Mitzvat Ase She Hazeman Gerama. Any Mitzvah that's bound by time, it's the Minhag of the Ashkenazim based on the Rabenu Tam to make a Beracha. For example, if a lady wanted to shake the Lulav on Succot, according to the Ashkenazim, she's allowed to shake the Lulav and the Etrog with the the Beracha, 'Asher Kedishanu Bemitzvotav Vitzivanu Al Netilat Lulav'. For the matter if she wanted to count Sefirat Haomer, she's not obligated, but she has the right to make it with the Beracha. However, the Sephardim that follow the opinion of Maran, when it comes to this, our ladies do not make a Beracaha. That's why there is another Halacha that says, for example, that if a person wants to eat within a half hour of the Omer, we explained many times its forbidden to sit down and start a meal of more than 2 ounces of bread within a half hour of the Haomer. But the Halacha does say if you have a Shomer, if you have somebody that's going to remind you to count, that you can start to eat, because you already set the Shomer, you set a safety net in motion in order to remind you so you won't forget. But the Halacha says that you can't let a lady be a Shomeret for you, because the lady is not obligated in the Omer, and therefore its not going to be on her mind since its not on the mind for herself. It's not going to be on her mind to tell others. So a lady would not be a Shomeret. You need somebody that's obligated in the Sefira as well, to designate him as a Shomer. Obviously, he cannot be eating with you. Because if he is eating with you, then he might forget himself, because he has the same problem, so therefore we're talking about a Shomer that's not eating with you, that he will be able to remind you. But, a lady, since she is not obligated, she cannot be a Shomeret. Compare that to Hilchot Shabbat. In Hilchot Shabbat we have a law that says a person is not allowed to read by the light of a candle. Because he might come to flicker the candle, and that's Asur on Shabbat. However the Halacha says that if he has somebody 9A Shomer) that's watching him to remind and prevent him if he is about to make the Isur, then its OK. A lady in that case can be a Shomeret. Since a lady is obligated in the laws of Shabbat just as the man is, so therefore its on her mind also, so then she can be the Shomeret. It is told a story, about Chacham Ezra Atia A"H, when he was young he used to learn on Friday nights by the light of the candle. His mother used to be the Shomeret. His mother used to be up into the wee hours of the morning in order that her son would be able to study the Torah with diligence.
