It is customary to read Megillat Rut on Shabuot, and several different reasons have been given for this custom. The Mordechi (Rav Mordechai Ben Hillel, Germany, 1250-1298), in Masechet Megilla (chapter 1), as cited by the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1525-1572) in Darkeh Moshe (494), explains that the story of Rut took place during the harvest season, around the time of Shabuot, and it is therefore appropriate to read this story on this holiday. Others explain that at the time of Matan Torah, the Jewish People underwent a process of "conversion," for, like converts, they had been obligated only in the Seven Noachide Laws, and then committed themselves to the Torah's 613 commands. (Interestingly, the Hebrew word "Gerut" has the numerical value of 620, corresponding to the 613 Biblical commands plus the seven Misvot instituted by the Sages.) Therefore, on the day we celebrate Matan Torah, we read the story of Rut, which tells of Rut's conversion and acceptance of the Misvot. Thirdly, we read Megilat Rut as a reminder that accepting the Torah includes not only our obligations toward G-d, but also our obligations to other people. The story of Rut is all about Hesed: Rut accompanied her mother-in-law, Naomi, and left her homeland to be at her side; Boaz cared for Rut when she arrived in Bet-Lehem, and then married her; Rut performed kindness for her deceased husband by allowing his soul to be perpetuated through the process of Yibum. We read this story to remind ourselves that kindness and sensitivity to other people is part and parcel of our acceptance of the Torah. Additionally, Megillat Rut is a story of remarkable "Mesirut Nefesh" – self-sacrifice. Rut was the daughter of the king of Moav, yet she was prepared to leave her life of royalty and all the amenities and luxuries it offers in order to become a Jew. This story reminds us that we need to sacrifice in order to succeed in Torah and Misvot. We cannot expect to excel in our devotion to Torah while enjoying all the comforts and luxuries that life offers. "Mesirut Nefesh" is an indispensable prerequisite for a successful Torah life. Finally, the story of Megillat Rut concludes with Rut's marriage to Boaz and the birth of their son, who ultimately became the grandfather of King David, who was born and passed away on Shabuot. It is thus appropriate to read this story on Shabuot, when we remember and reflect upon David Ha'melech.
Parashat Yitro recounts one of the most pivotal events, if not the most pivotal event, in Jewish history—the giving of the Torah at Har Sinai. The Midrash famously teaches that before giving the Torah to Beneh Yisrael, Hashem first offered it to the other nations. He approached the descendants of Esav, who inquired about its contents. When Hashem told them that the Torah includes the command, "Lo Tirsah"—"You shall not murder," they declined, as violence was ingrained in their way of life. Next, Hashem turned to Yishmael's descendants. Upon hearing that the Torah forbids theft—"Lo Tignob"—they, too, rejected it, unable to commit to such a moral standard, refraining from theft. Hashem then went to Amon and Moav. When they asked what the Torah commanded, Hashem told them, "Lo Tinaf"—"You shall not commit adultery." They, too, refused, unwilling to accept such a limitation, as they were accustomed to engaging freely in illicit relationships. Hashem then offered the Torah to Beneh Yisrael, who unlike the other nations, accepted the Torah unconditionally, without asking any questions. The Midrash's account requires explanation. The prohibitions of murder, theft, and adultery are not unique to the Torah. They are already included in the Sheva Misvot Beneh Noach – the seven "Noachide Laws," universal commandments given to all of humanity. Whether or not Esav, Yishmael, Amon, and Moav accepted the Torah, they were still bound by these prohibitions. If so, why does it matter that they rejected the Torah? The answer lies in the profound difference between observing these basic moral prohibitions and fully embracing the Torah's rigorous ethical and spiritual expectations. The command of "Lo Tirsah" does not only prohibit taking a life. It also forbids embarrassing someone in public, which is akin to murder. It means we must not "kill" our time by engaging in wasteful, vain activities. It even extends to preserving objects of value and not destroying them unnecessarily, because destruction is, in a sense, a form of "killing." Similarly, "Lo Tignob" is not just about theft of money or possessions. Wasting another person's time is a form of theft. Depriving someone of sleep by making noise at night is also stealing. Even redistributing wealth unjustly—such as in the story of Robin Hood, or in the style of communism—constitutes a violation of this prohibition in Torah law. Finally, "Lo Tinaf" likewise extends beyond the specific prohibition against forbidden intimate relationships. The Torah demands a higher level of modesty (Seniut), governing the way we dress, the way we speak, and even what we choose to see or expose ourselves to. This is what distinguished Beneh Yisrael from the other nations. Even if the other nations were willing to abide by basic moral codes, they would never commit to the all-encompassing ethical and spiritual framework that the Torah demands. Beneh Yisrael, however, accepted these lofty expectations without hesitation, embracing not just the specific prohibitions, but the especially high standards of sanctity and self-discipline that Torah life requires. As the Jewish people, we are held to a higher standard. Accepting the Torah means committing ourselves to a life of holiness and moral refinement. This is both a privilege and a responsibility. As Hashem's beloved nation, we must always remember that our actions reflect the divine mission entrusted to us. Whether in business, in speech, in dress, or in our treatment of others, we must uphold the elevated standards of Am Yisrael – and feel honored and privileged to conduct ourselves in a special manner befitting Hashem's beloved people.

Ki Tavo | Why Did Bnei Yisrael Need a Second Tokhacha? by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why is the imprecation (תוכחה) in our Parasha so much more frightening and graphic than the earlier one in Vayikra 26 Parashat Ki Tavo is perhaps most well-known for the lengthy and painful imprecation which Moshe integrates into the covenant which he initiates with Bnei Yisrael in the Plains of Moav - a decidedly second and "other" covenant to the original one entered into at Sinai. We explore the need for a second covenant and the significantly more frightening imagery in the second תוכחה and propose why it may have been needed for this second generation, born free in the desert. לע"נ אחי יונתן הלל בן הרב אשר אהרן ומרים Source sheet >>

e read in Parashat Matot of the war that G-d commanded Beneh Yisrael to wage against the nation of Midyan to avenge the tragedy of Ba'al Pe'or. Midyan, together Moav, conspired to lure Beneh Yisrael to sins of immorality and idol-worship. The scheme, unfortunately, succeeded, and G-d punished Beneh Yisrael by sending a plague that killed 24,000 members of the nation. Hashem instructed Beneh Yisrael to wage war against Midyan in order to take revenge. The Torah relates that this battle was led by Pinhas, the son of the Kohen Gadol, Elazar (31:6). Rashi gives two reasons for why specifically Pinhas was chosen to lead the war. First, he was the one who saved Beneh Yisrael from annihilation during the calamity of Ba'al Pe'or, by killing a man and woman who committed a public sinful act. Once Pinhas avenged G-d's honor, G-d ended the plague. Rashi writes that since Pinhas began the Misva by killing these two violators, he was chosen to complete the Misva by leading the war against Midyan. But then Rashi adds a second explanation. He writes that Pinhas led the war against Midyan to avenge that nation's role in the sale of his ancestor, Yosef, as a slave. Pinhas' mother was a descendant of Yosef, and merchants from Midyan were the ones who, after purchasing Yosef from his brothers, brought him to Egypt and sold him to Potifar, an Egyptian nobleman. It was thus appropriate for Yosef's descendant, Pinhas, to lead Beneh Yisrael's war against the people of Midyan. Rashi's comments seem puzzling. Why should Midyan be blamed for Mechirat Yosef (the sale of Yosef as a slave)? It was Yosef's brothers who turned on him; the Midyanim simply accepted the offer and paid for Yosef, after which they sold him for a profit. Why did their role in Mechirat Yosef need to be avenged? Yosef excelled particularly in the area of Kedusha, maintaining his sanctity and purity even in the face of overwhelming temptation. As a teenager, he was lured to sin by Potifar's wife, and he resisted. The Midyanim, it appeared, had sinister intentions when they brought Yosef to Egypt, a society which at that time was steeped in decadence and immorality. They wanted to ruin Yosef by compromising his Kedusha, by putting him in a place where – they incorrectly assumed – he would be unable to withstand temptation and would be lured to sin. This is precisely what Midyan did several generations later, at Ba'al Pe'or. They tried destroying Beneh Yisrael by luring them to immorality, which would undermine their spirituality. Appropriately, then, Pinhas – a descendant of Yosef – led the war against Midyan, because this war avenged Midyan's devious scheme both at Ba'al Pe'or and with Mechirat Yosef. Our nation's struggle against Midyan continues to this very day, with greater intensity than ever. Contemporary society champions values that directly oppose the Torah's values of Kedusha and purity, and we are exposed at all times to lures that threaten to divest us of our sanctity. Hashem commanded Beneh Yisrael to wage war against Midyan – because we need to proactively reject and oppose the efforts made to undermine our Kedusha. We must continue waging this vitally important battle that began with Yosef and then proceeded with Pinhas, and work to oppose the sinful influences and lures that we face on a daily basis.
Parshas Balak: Choices and Blessings 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. This week's Parsha Perspective is in memory of my grandfather, Rav Yeudah Ben Aaron, Shlomo Ben Edward, Edward Ben Efraim, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. This week's Parsha Perspective is in the merit of the holy Ohr Hachaim, Rav Chaim Ibn Attar, a commentay I use frequently. His Yahrzeit, the anniversary of his passing, is on the 15th of Tammuz, this upcoming Sunday. The release date of this episode is the 12th of Tammuz, which marks the birthday and release from prison of the previous Rebbe, Rav Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the sixth Chabad Rebbe. Born in 1880, the Rebbe, known as the Rayyatz, led with courage and dedication, keeping Judaism alive during dark times. In 1940, he came to America and founded a Yeshiva, declaring, "Amerike iz nit andersh - America is no different." His legacy lives on through his passion, care for every Jew, and dedication to G-d, magnified by his son-in-law, our Rebbe. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha tells us the story of Balak and Balaam. Balak, the king of Moav, was worried about his upcoming battle with the Jewish people. Moshe and the Jewish nation had just won their wars with the powerful countries of Emor and Bashon. So Balak recruited Balaam, the famous non-Jewish prophet, to curse the Jewish people and hopefully defeat the Jewish nation in battle. We find out what made Balak afraid. We learn the significance of each choice we make.

He would have found light in these dark days from Torah learning and strength from his family members currently serving Medinat Yisrael. May HaShem protect them and bring all the hostages home safely. Chanukah sameach u’meir." Today's daf is dedicated by Debbie and Yossi Gevir to the refuah of their son-in-law Boaz Shlomo Ben Shulamit Sara who was lightly wounded in Gaza on Shabbat morning.

If a gentile's ox injured a Jew's ox, the owner pays a full payment, even if the animal was a shor tam. Why is this the case? Two different verses are brought to suggest that the gentiles were penalized by God for either not accepting the seven Noahide laws or the Torah. Since they had no system of law, were it not for the obligation to pay damages, their oxen would not be watched and would be a hazard to others. Would this apply to all gentiles? Does a gentile get rewarded for learning Torah? What is appropriate and not appropriate to be said to someone mourning a loss? Ulla disagreed with the Babylonian rabbis on this issue. A discussion of the merits of Amon and Moav is brought and what lesson can be learned from them. How do we treat the Samaritans in terms of laws of damages - like gentiles or like Jews? Why?
Some aggadata... Addressing the verse that teaches the Jew vs. non-Jew's goring ox and the obligation to pay. Which explains why a Canaanite's ox would incur full damages. Plus, a discussion of the obligation to keep commandments that they didn't want to keep - and the lack of reward for them. And the principle that those who are commanded get greater reward for fulfilling those commandments. Also, the death of a daughter of a sage who comes from a family of converts, and how Ulla first refuses to go to comfort him, and then does, with some difficult language, including why God didn't have the Israelites go to war with Moav, in the wilderness of the Book of Numbers.

In the first of the "Prophecies Against the Nations" Ezekiel addresses Amon, Moav, Edom and the Philistines and predicts their downfall. What do these prophecies add to the tapestry of messages that Ezekiel offers?
התוכן ידוע מאמר הגמ' "גדולה לגימה שמקרבת", כפי שלמדים מהעדר הלגימה "שהרחיקה שתי משפחות מישראל (עמון ומואב), שנאמר על דבר אשר לא קדמו אתכם בלחם ובמים" (ולכן לא יבואו בקהל). והנה ה"פירוד" בין עמון ומואב התחיל עוד בזמנו של אברהם אבינו, כמ"ש בפ' לך לך [בשלישי דפ' לך לך] ע"ד הפירוד שבין אברהם ללוט "ויסע לוט גו' ויפרדו איש מעל אחיו", שמזה נעשה אח"כ הפירוד שבין בנ"י לעמון ומואב (בניו של לוט). ועוד זאת, מזה שדוקא "אחרי הפרד לוט מעמו" התגלה השכינה לאברהם בהיותו נשמה בגוף, מובן, שמדובר ב"פירוד" כזה שיש לו תפיסת מקום גם בדרגא כזו שממנה באה הקישור דמעלה ומטה (שהוא נעלה יותר מ"מעלה" ו"מטה" כשלעצמם). הנה גם בנוגע לפירוד שכזה אמחז"ל ש"גדולה לגימה שמקרבת"! וזהו הדיוק "גדולה לגימה שמקרבת", כי הכח לפעול קירוב גם בנפרדים שהפירוד שלהם נוגע בדרגא נעלית שכזו – נמשך מלמע' מסדר השתלשלות – "גדולה". ואם אפי' כוחה של לגימה של אינו יהודי (שבעצם הם נפרדים) הוא גדול כ"כ, עאכו"כ לגימה של בנ"י, שבעצמיותם מקורבים הם, שגדול כוחה של לגימה לפעול שיומשך ויתגלה ענין זה. וכ"ז נפעל ע"י "לגימה" כפשוטה.משיחת אור לה' מרחשון ה'תשכ"א – התוועדות "צאתכם לשלום" לאורחים שי' ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-10-2023 Synopsis The Gemara states, “offering food is great, because it brings near…”, as we see from the fact that Amon and Moav's failure to provide food for the Jewish people resulted in them being distanced from the Jewish people. This divide already began in the time of Avraham Avinu, as it says in [shelishi of] Parashas Lech Lecha, “Lot traveled…and they parted from one another,” which eventually resulted in the divide between the Jewish people and Lot's descendants Amon and Moav. The fact that it was specifically “after Lot parted from him” that the Divine Presence was revealed to Avraham (a soul in a body), indicates that this is the sort of divide that has a valid place, and that it even has an effect on heaven and earth being connected (a level even higher than heaven and earth themselves). And even regarding this kind separation our Sages said that “offering food is a great thing”! It is called “great” because this ability to bridge even a divide at such a lofty level comes from a place that transcends seder hishtalshelus. And if “food” offered by a non-Jew (who are inherently separate) can have such a great effect, we can understand that “food” shared among Jews, who are inherently connected certainly has a lofty effect, causing those lofty levels to be revealed. And all this happens through “food” in the simple sense.Excerpt from sicha of 5 Cheshvan 5721 – at the farbrengen bidding farewell to Tishrei guests For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-10-2023
Today we discuss the special features of the prophecy against Moav 1. A sin - pride and arrogance 2. The poetry of the chapter 3. The plethora of names that characterize this prophecy 4. The intriguing citing of lines from Isaiah and Sefer Bamidbar that appear in the prophecy.
Why don't we allow converts from Amon and Moav to ever marry into our nation while we do allow third generation converts from Mitzrayim and Edom to marry in? The Torah gives one answer; Rashi (seemingly) gives an entirely different answer. This episode seeks to resolve Rashi's apparent contradiction with the pesukim.
conclusion of episode of meraglim, ban on taking areas around EY, that generation died...
In this episode we discuss what is the connection between these two Parshiyos, and we explain the motivation of Moav to attack and hate Klal Yisrael, and why the Torah judges them so harshly.

It is customary to read Megillat Rut on Shabuot, and several different reasons have been given for this custom. The Mordechi (Rav Mordechai Ben Hillel, Germany, 1250-1298), in Masechet Megilla (chapter 1), as cited by the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1525-1572) in Darkeh Moshe (494), explains that the story of Rut took place during the harvest season, around the time of Shabuot, and it is therefore appropriate to read this story on this holiday.

The story of Rut is all about Hesed: Rut accompanied her mother-in-law, Naomi, and left her homeland to be at her side; Boaz cared for Rut when she arrived in Bet-Lehem, and then married her; Rut performed kindness for her deceased husband by allowing his soul to be perpetuated through the process of Yibum. We read this story to remind ourselves that kindness and sensitivity to other people is part and parcel of our acceptance of the Torah.Additionally, Megillat Rut is a story of remarkable "Mesirut Nefesh" – self-sacrifice. Rut was the daughter of the king of Moav, yet she was prepared to leave her life of royalty and all the amenities and luxuries it offers in order to become a Jew. This story reminds us that we need to sacrifice in order to succeed in Torah and Misvot. We cannot expect to excel in our devotion to Torah while enjoying all the comforts and luxuries that life offers. "Mesirut Nefesh" is an indispensable prerequisite for a successful Torah life.Finally, the story of Megillat Rut concludes with Rut's marriage to Boaz and the birth of their son, who ultimately became the grandfather of King David, who was born and passed away on Shabuot. It is thus appropriate to read this story on Shabuot, when we remember and reflect upon David Ha'melech.
In this shiur, delivered in Michlala, Rav Burg explains (based on the Torah of the Nachlas Yosef) the first several Pesukim of Megillas Rus. Understanding the inner story of how Naomi came to be in Moav allows us to understand the heroism of her return to return to Eretz Yisrael. Indeed from her return comes Dovid HaMelech and ultimately Melech HaMashiach.

Israel, Judah and Edom join forces to attack Moav. We shall speak about a critical historic artifact - the Mesha Stele - that gives us important context for this military campaign.
Since at least Adam Smith, the common wisdom has been that the transition from hunter-gathering to farming allowed the creation of the State. Farming, so went the theory, led to agricultural surplus, and that surplus is the prerequisite for taxation and a State. But economist Omer Moav of Reichman University argues that it wasn't farming but the farming of a particular kind of crop (but not others) that led to hierarchy and the State. Moav explains to EconTalk host Russ Roberts storability is the key dimension that allows for taxation and a State. The conversation includes a discussion of why it's important to understand the past and the challenges of confirming or refuting theories about history.
David fights on every front: Philistines, Moav, Aram, Edom, Amalek, Amon, and succeeds in growing the kingdom to a veritable empire. The chapter ends with David's growing national administration. Our discussion will focus upon the military force that David is using and its justification.

Elimelech's family living in Moab, the conversion of Ruth, and Boaz's efforts to establish his permission for marrying Ruth despite her Moabite roots, these were all important links in the chain that led to the establishment of the Davidic dynasty. Join us as we speak with Rabbi Boruch Twersky about his adaptation of the Maharal Tzinz's commentary on the story of Ruth. Boston-born Boruch Twersky lives in Beitar, Israel, with his wife and 15 children. He has spent several years pursuing advanced Torah learning in kollel, authored many articles and translated a number of books.
