התוכן 1) זירוז אודות עריכת "סיומים" בכל יום מתשעת הימים. ובנוגע לתשעה באב - כדאי לעשות סיום, נוסף על מוצאי ת"ב, גם בת"ב עצמו [אף שזה יהי' בלי סעודה וכו']. 2) ר"ח הוא יום הסתלקות אהרן הכהן שענינו לברך את כל ישראל, ועד"ז זרע אהרן - "הוי מתלמידיו של אהרן.. ומקרבן לתורה". 3) הקשר בין ימים אלו למ"ש בהתחלת מס' תמיד [עליו נערך "סיום"] ומס' מדות: "בשלשה מקומות הכהנים שומרים וכו'" - שלשה השבועות, והלוים בעשרים ואחד מקום וכו'" - כ"א יום מי"ז בתמוז עד ת"ב. 4) הסיום בנתינת הצדקה שמקרבת את הגאולה, ויה"ר שנזכה לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה תיכף ומיד ממש ["ס'שוין לאחרי ר"ח מנחם אב, וואָס הויבט זיך אָן מיט'ן וואָרט "מנחם".. האָט מען גלייך דעם "מנחם שמו", וואָס גייט דאָך אויף משיח צדקנו, האָט מען גלייך "מראה באצבעו ואומר זה" אָט איז מנחם משיח צדקנו, מלך בן דוד, וואָס קומט א בשר ודם.."].ב' חלקים משיחת יום ד' דפ' דברים, ר"ח מנחם-אב ה'תשמ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=27-07-2025 Synopsis (1) Siyumim should be held every day during the Nine Days, including on the day of Tishah B'Av itself (even though it will be without a meal etc.), in addition to the siyum held on the night after Tishah B'Av. (2) Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av marks the passing of Aharon HaKohen, whose role was to bless the entire Jewish people, and this is similarly the role of his descendants and of every Jew, as the Mishna says, “Be among the students of Aharon…and draws them close to Torah.” (3) The connection between this time of year and the beginning of Masechta Tamid (on which the siyum was made) and the beginning of Masechta Middos: The Mishna states, “The Kohanim keep watch in three places…,” corresponding to the Three Weeks, “and the Levi'im in twenty-one places,” corresponding to the twenty-one days from 17 Tammuz until 9Av. (4) We conclude with giving tzedakah, which hastens the Redemption. It is already after Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av, which begins with the word “Menachem” (console); may we merit the coming of the true and complete Redemption literally right now, and to “point with the finger and say, ‘This'” is Moshiach Tzidkeinu – “Menachem is his name.”2 excerpts from sichah of Wednesday, parashas Devarim, Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5749 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=27-07-2025 לע"נ התמים מיכאל ארי' לייב ע"ה בן – יבלחט"א – ר' דובער שי' הכהן ליום היארצייט שלו ביום ב' מנחם-אבתנצב"ה.

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

Professor Menachem Klein speaks on the radicalisation of Israeli society and its support for war crimes in Gaza. Klein, a veteran in unofficial Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and a signatory of the Geneva Agreement, discusses the historical and social transformations leading to the current conflict. He identifies three key structural changes in Israeli society: the establishment of an apartheid-like regime, elite transformation, and internal civil unrest. Klein suggests that both Israeli and Palestinian leaders have historically misjudged each other's strengths and motivations, contributing to ongoing conflict. He emphasizes the need for a two-state solution based on equality and partnership, with open borders and shared sovereignty. The webinar also discusses the broader implications of U.S. support for Israeli policies and the potential undermining of international law. Audience questions cover a range of topics, including the right of return for Palestinians, the role of U.S. foreign policy, and strategies for influencing Israeli public opinion. Klein calls for increased civil society pressure on politicians and the development of new, collaborative solutions to the conflict.Prof. Menachem Klein is active in many unofficial negotiations with Palestinian counterparts. In October 2003 Prof. Klein signed together with prominent Israeli and Palestinian negotiators the Geneva Agreement – a detailed proposal for a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian peace accord. He is Senior Fellow in Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue and board member of Palestine – Israel Journal. Previously he was board member of B'tselem, The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.

In this episode, we're joined by Rabbi Menachem Leibtag, a leading educator in the Gush (Yeshivat Har Etzion) Tanakh methodology—a literary-contextual approach to the study of Tanakh that emphasizes peshat, structure, and thematic development, while reading the text in its historical and narrative context. Rabbi Leibtag lays out the foundations of this method and responds to some of the critiques raised in our previous conversations with J.J. Kimche and Rabbi Yaakov Beasley. We explore concerns that anchoring the Torah in its historical setting may risk weakening its eternal relevance, versus the argument that understanding the text in its original context deepens, rather than diminishes, its meaning. We also examine the tension between drawing out literary structure and preserving the emotional and theological rawness of the text. Another critique addressed is the worry that modern readers—armed with more information and systematic tools—can generate ḥiddushim (novel interpretations) that feel out of bounds to traditionalists, particularly when such ideas were not raised by classical commentators. In contrast, advocates argue that these insights represent a continuation of the interpretive process rather than a break from it. Rabbi Leibtag offers a thoughtful and compelling case for the method's relevance today—rooted in tradition, informed by literary tools, and committed to making Tanakh learning more engaging, rigorous, and meaningful for the modern student.*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh and to the neshama of Meir ben Moshe a'h — Abdolrahim Ilian, the late father of our dear friend, Rod Ilian. • Bio: Rabbi Menachem Leibtag, an internationally acclaimed bible scholar and pioneer of Jewish Education on the internet, is well known in the Jewish community for his essays on the weekly Bible portion. His vibrant thematic-analytical approach blends the methods of modern academic scholarship with traditional Jewish approaches to the Biblical text. He is best known for his ability to teach students how to study rather than simply read Biblical passages. As his essays focus on meta-themes in the Bible, his readership has expanded to students of the Bible from all religions and walks of life. In Israel, Rabbi Leibtag teaches at Yeshivat Har Etzion, Matan, Yeshivat Shaalavim, Midreshet Lindenbaum, and at MTVA. He also routinely lectures around the globe, primarily as a Scholar in Residence in communities in North America; and is a regular guest lecturer for students at universities such as Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, NYU, Penn, and Brandeis.• Read one of his essays here: https://www.amazon.com/Torah-MiEtzion-Yeshivat-Har-Etzion/dp/1613290063• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel Maksumov, Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

Study Guide Sanhedrin 54 Today's daf is sponsored by Roslyn Jaffe in loving memory of her mother, Dita Muhlrad, Duba Feiga bat Menachem. "My mom was a true Yiddishe mama who instilled Torah values in her children. She was so proud of all my academic accomplishments and would have gotten much nachat from my Daf Yomi studies." Today's daf is dedicated to the release of Ohad Ben Ami, Or Levy and Eli Sharabi after 491 days in captivity. Wishing them a refuah shleima and praying for the safe release of the rest of the hostages.  Rabbi Yehuda according to the version in our Mishna, holds (against the rabbis) that if one has relations unwittingly with one's mother who is also one's father's wife, he is only obligated one sin offering. How are the verses in Vayikra that relate to the forbidden relations with one's mother/father's wife understood according to Rabbi Yehuda and the rabbis? The Mishna then discusses homosexual relations and bestiality and the Gemara proceeds to extrapolate the verses relating to those situations - from where do we learn the punishment and the warning for both the initiator and the one to whom relations were initiated?

When are we allowed to yell at God?

"If God lived in our neighborhood, we'd throw stones through His [sic] windows." I do not know who originally said that, though I think that the original was in Yiddish. But, it's true. And, if you were to ask me whether Jewish worship has a "design flaw," I would say that this is it: almost nowhere in our services do we get to yell at God, and to protest God's actions and in-actions. We want our worship experiences to be uplifting and inspirational. But, we are missing out on the emotional richness and depth of the religious experience. Yes – joy, gratitude, uplift. But, anger and questioning are part of any healthy relationship. Where is that in our prayer experience? This is a crying shame -- and I emphasize "crying." Because crying out at God, and yelling at God, and protesting God is a distinctive part of Judaism and Jewish texts. It goes back to Abraham, who protested God's planned destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; Moses, who protested God's threatened destruction of the Israelites at the incident of the Golden Calf; Job, who demanded justice from God; the author of the Psalms, who has a lot to say about God's actions and silence -- all the way to Tevye ("I know we are your chosen people. But, once in a while, can't You choose someone else?") to Elie Wiesel.... In fact, that is the original meaning of the term "chutzpah." It means audacity -- against, and with, God. This is the essential, sacred lesson of a new, spectacular book by Menachem Rosensaft -- "Burning Psalms: Confronting Adonai after Auschwitz.” Menachem is an attorney in New York; the founding chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, and most notably, had been active in the early stages of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

How familiar are you with Torah? It's an important question because a lot of people simply remember the grand journey Moses takes and how he leads the people to Israel, and boom! You have the Torah. But it's so much more. In fact, outside of the 5 books of Moses you have The Talmud and Kabbalah and you have Pirkei Avot and you have this thing called Oral Torah versus Written Torah. Somewhere within the wide scope of what's considered Torah, you'll come across this book and wonder what's so special about this guy named Zohar.  The mysteries and wisdom of The Zohar is well known and studied by Rabbi Natan Halevy. His precise and detailed work has been a lifetime achievement passed down from generation to generation within his family. Rabbi Halevy teaches Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, the depths, teachings, and relevance of this essential piece in Jewish literature.   00:00 Introduction 07:13 Oral Torah 10:04 Essential teachings 14:53 The power in reading 19:04 Zohar predicts cell phone addiction 22:30 Connection to Israel, Torah, and God deeply 24:39 Balancing study with life's responsibilities is challenging. 28:08 Alleviating depression, spreading holiness. 32:42 God's existence is fundamental 33:41 Practicing mystical teachings today About Rabbi Natan Halevy: I grew up in Los Angeles, and with my parents and siblings, attended Kahal Joseph where I had my Bar Mitzvah in 1994. As the child of Iraqi parents, I have a powerful sense of the strong culture and traditon I come from. In 2005 I received my Rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yitchak Yaroslavsky at Yeshivat Tomchei Tmimim in Israel. I then served as an assistant Rabbi in Chabad of Great Neck, NY before I returned to Los Angeles in 2008. I love studying all facets of Torah—from the Bible to the Talmud to the inner parts of Torah. I also have knowledge of many other modalities and philosophies that I feel may support us as Jews and people in this modern day and age. My wife Bracha and our children – Yosef Hayim, Menucha, Menachem, Noam, and Shimon – are very happy to be working with the wonderful Kahal Joseph community.
