**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** On Purim morning, one should make an effort to wake up extra early and recite Tehilim. This is based on the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807), who writes in his "Devash L'fi" that there are five special days during the year that one should arise at "Hashkama"-extra early: Tisha B'ab, Shabuot, Rosh Hashana, Hoshana Rabba and Purim. He says that this is alluded to in the word "AVRaHaM" in the verse "Vayashkem AVRraHaM BaBoker"-Avraham arose early in the morning. The letter "Aleph" of Avraham, hints to "Echa" which is read on Tisha B'ab; the "Vet" refers to Shabuot on which the Torah was given, and the Torah begins with the letter "Bet;" the "Resh" refers to Rosh Hashana; the "Heh" alludes to Hoshana Rabbah; and the "Mem" hints to the Megillah of Purim. *** The special Tefila of "Al Hanisim" is inserted into the Amidah of Purim. If one forgot to do so, he does not have to go back and repeat the Amidah. Nevertheless, it is preferable to recite the "Al Hanisim" at the expense of prolonging his Amidah and missing the Kedusha with the Sibbur, than to skip it and finish earlier. *** The Torah reading for Purim is "VaYavo Amalek," in Parshat B'shalach. Since it only has nine verses, the accepted custom is to read the last verse twice to complete the requisite ten verses need for a public Torah reading. It is important for everyone to hear this Parasha. Those who missed hearing Parashat Zachor can fulfill the Misva with this reading, if they have intent to do so. The Kaf HaHaim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939, Ch. 693:25) writes that if someone cannot attend Bet Knesset on Purim day, he should read this passage by himself at home with the Ta'amim (cantillation). After reading the Torah, the Tefila continues with "Ashreh" and the beginning of "Uva Lesion." The Megillah is read before the Pasuk "V'atah Kadosh." In the morning, "Shehecheyanu" is not recited on the Megillah, according to the practice of the Sepharadim. The Sefer Torah is kept out until after the Megillah is read, because the Megillah states, "LaYehudim Hayta Orah V'simcha, V'saon V'y'kar"-the Jews had light and joy and happiness and glory. The Gemara understands that Orah (light) refers to the light of the Torah. One should not take off his Tefilin before the completion of the Megillah, because the same verse says that the Jews had "Y'kar"-glory. The Gemara understands that it is referring to Tefilin. In fact, the custom is to kiss the Tefilin when that word is read. If there is a Brit Mila, some say that it is performed prior to the Megillah reading to correspond to a word in that same Pasuk "Sason"-joy, which the Hachamim understand to be Brit Mila. However, the accepted practice is to conduct the Mila after Shaharit. *** There is no obligation to recite Hallel on Purim. One reason for this is that the reading of the Megillah, which tells the story of the miraculous events, takes the place of Hallel. Therefore, if one cannot hear the Megillah, there are Poskim who hold that he should recite the complete Hallel. This should be done without a Beracha, as there is a difference of opinion on the matter. After the Shir Shel Yom (Psalm of the Day), the Mizmor (Tehilim 22) "Al Ayelet Hashachar" is added. Esther was referred to as "Ayelet Hashachar," and this was the prayer she offered upon approaching the King's private chamber. *** It is prohibited to eat even a small amount before hearing the Megillah on Purim morning, even if one has already prayed. Therefore, one should insure that his wife and children hear the Megillah promptly, so that they can eat. *** Immediately after Shaharit, the Matanot LaEvyonim are distributed. Performing this Misva early is not only a fulfillment of "Zerizim Makdimim L'Misvot," but it also enables the recipients to use the money to buy what they lack for the holiday. *** The Shulhan Aruch rules that the Beracha of Shehecheyanu is not recited before reading the Megillah in the morning. This applies even if one did not fulfill the Misva of Megillah the previous night. One should have in mind to include the other Misvot when he hears the Beracha at night. *** The Hida (Lev David, Ch. 30) brings a custom for both men and women to light two candles in honor of Mordechai and Esther on Purim. After lighting the candles, one should give Sedaka and offer heartfelt prayers and requests in their merit. There is a widespread custom to don costumes on Purim. The Hida mentions this specifically regarding the Seudah. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909, Ateret Tiferet) brings a custom for women to adorn themselves with their fanciest jewelry, even more than Shabbat and Yom Tov. This custom has its origins in the Kabbalah. This should only be done within the confines of her own home and not to go out publicly, so as not to breach the standards of modesty.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía    una vez En la luminosa ciudad de Córdoba, donde las calles estrechas estaban perfumadas por el azahar de los naranjos y el murmullo de las fuentes susurraba entre los muros blancos un medico médico cuya fama se extendía más allá de las tierras de Al-Ándalus. Su nombre era Farah, y su sabiduría no solo se reflejaba en sus vastos conocimientos de la medicina, sino también en su inmenso corazón.Farah atendía a todos aquellos que llegaban a su puerta, sin importar su condición. Los ricos le pagaban con oro, pero a los pobres les daba su ciencia sin pedir nada a cambio, pues creía firmemente en que la salud era un derecho de todos. Sin embargo, aunque su compasión era infinita, el tiempo no lo era.Una noche, cuando el médico Farah  ya había cerrado su consulta y apenas le quedaban fuerzas tras una jornada agotadora, alguien llamó insistentemente a la puerta. Farah abrió y vio a un hombre desaliñado, con el rostro demacrado por la enfermedad y los ojos inyectados en desesperación.—¡Doctor, necesito que me atienda ahora mismo! —exclamó el hombre con voz rasposa.El médico, con paciencia, le explicó que ya era tarde y se sentía tan cansado que no tendría la inteligencia y la paz del alma para poder curarlo  y que debía regresar al día siguiente para que pudiera atenderlo debidamente. Pero estas palabras encendieron una furia ciega en el enfermo. Su desesperación se transformó en enojo, y su enojo en odio.—¡Eres un impostor! ¡Solo ayudas a quien te conviene! —gritó, antes de alejarse dando un portazo.Farah suspiró, pero no dijo nada. Sabía que la enfermedad no solo afectaba al cuerpo, sino también al alma.A la mañana siguiente, cuando el médico acompañaba al sultán Orah en su majestuosa carroza, recorriendo los mercados bulliciosos donde mercaderes ofrecían sus especias y sedas, el mismo hombre apareció de repente. Como una tormenta desatada, se interpuso en el camino y, con voz llena de rabia, comenzó a insultar a Farah sin piedad.—¡Hipócrita! ¡Charlatán! ¡No eres más que un falso sabio!El sultán, sorprendido por semejante insolencia, frunció el ceño y, sin dudarlo, se volvió hacia el médico.—¡Esto es una afrenta imperdonable! —exclamó Orah con tono severo—. Farah, te ordeno que le arranques el corazón a este hombre.El médico inclinó la cabeza en señal de obediencia y no dijo nada. Pero en su mente, una idea comenzaba a tomar forma.En los días que siguieron, Farah se dedicó en secreto a cumplir la orden del sultán, pero no con un bisturí, sino con la dulzura y la paciencia de un verdadero sanador.Cada mañana, envió a su sirviente con un jarro de leche fresca para el hombre. Al poco tiempo, pagó su alquiler, evitando que lo echaran de su hogar. También se aseguró de que recibiera los medicamentos necesarios para su recuperación. Día tras día, el enfermo, que había esperado castigo y desprecio, solo recibió bondad. Y esa bondad, como una lluvia suave sobre tierra reseca, comenzó a transformar su corazón.Al principio, el hombre no entendía. Su orgullo le hacía resistirse a aceptar ayuda de aquel a quien había despreciado. Pero la insistencia de Farah fue más fuerte que su rencor. Poco a poco, la dureza de su alma se fue desmoronando y, cuando por fin la salud regresó a su cuerpo, algo más había cambiado en él.Pasaron algunas semanas, y un día, mientras el sultán y el médico paseaban de nuevo por la ciudad, un hombre se acercó corriendo. Esta vez, en lugar de insultos, sus labios pronunciaron palabras de gratitud.—¡Oh, gran Farah! ¡Que Alá te bendiga por siempre! No solo curaste mi cuerpo, sino que salvaste mi alma. ¡Eres el más noble de lo

Welcome back to the Cross Points Church podcast! We are your hosts, David and Orah, and we are thrilled to be with you again after a four-year hiatus. It's hard to believe it's been so long, but life has a way of keeping us busy. From babies to pandemics, we've faced it all, and now we're excited to reconnect with our amazing community. Whether you've been with us from the start or are tuning in for the first time, we're glad you're here. Let's dive in and catch up on all that's happened and explore some thought-provoking topics together. Episode Notes: Scriptures Referenced in the Episode: 1 Samuel 3:1-10 - The story of young Samuel hearing God's voice for the first time. “In those days, messages from the Lord were very rare, and visions were quite uncommon.” (1 Samuel 3:1) John 10:27 - Jesus talking about His sheep hearing His voice. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) Elijah's Story - Hearing God's voice in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11-13). “After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” (1 Kings 19:12) Moses and the Burning Bush - God speaking to Moses through the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-6). “There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.” (Exodus 3:2) Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trusting in the Lord for guidance. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) Philippians 4:6-7 - Finding peace through prayer and petition. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) Finding Quiet Time: Make a conscious effort to eliminate distractions and find a quiet space to listen for God's voice. Start with short periods of silence and gradually increase the duration. Try practicing seven minutes of silence each day for a week to center yourself and listen for God's guidance. Reading Scripture: Engage with the Bible regularly to understand God's character and voice. Use both theological study and personal reading to deepen your relationship with God. Allow scripture to challenge and encourage you, and personalize the messages you read. Tips for Engaging with Scripture: Regular Reading: Make it a habit to read the Bible daily, whether through a reading plan, devotional, or study guide. Reflect and Journal: Write down your thoughts and reflections on the scriptures you read to internalize the messages. Pray for Understanding: Ask God to open your heart and mind to His word, seeking deeper insight and application in your life. Discuss with Others: Share what you've read and learned with friends, family, or a study group for broader perspectives and encouragement.

Today's guest is poet, storyteller, and now essayist Sabrina Orah Mark. Her latest book, Happily: A Personal History—with Fairy Tales, is an intriguing blend of two radically different forms, memoir and fairy tale. Much as fairy tales are feral, forever escaping a simple, reductive meaning, forever changing shape and being retold, forever out of fashion […] The post Sabrina Orah Mark : Happily appeared first on Tin House.

'There's Injustice, Corruption and it's Archaic.' - Grace Orah describes the current Family Law system as the opportunity to continue the abuse she was subjected to in her relationship. A process that places children in the middle of parents in conflict and on a battleground where no one wins.   Australian Family Law is in a national crisis, with jurisdictions failing to take responsibility and be held accountable for the safety, security and sanity of parents and children.  The Child is the play book for navigating the Family Court of Australia. Written from the experience of a de-identified author with the hope other parents who find themselves unable to afford the extraordinary costs of a lawyer, can educate and arm themselves with the tactics and games played inside and outside, the walls of a court room.  https://lnkd.in/guxGvmR6 Available on Amazon for $7.99 The Child is not only one woman's story but the guide to the processes, rules and strategies she was subjected to by her child's father's lawyers.  Described as 'Repugnant and Neglectful' this mother became the enraged lioness you'd expect.  Forced to defend baseless lies that lacked evidence, Grace shares how she continues to recover from these false allegations and the impact of prolonged proceedings that do not hold the abuser accountable. "A new Family System! (Note the word Court is removed!), that cradles our children, uses words that heal, supports victims, offers peace and guidance, brings justice and leaves no one financially destroyed!" #oneforall If you are experiencing domestic abuse, violence, post separation or legal systems abuse you can reach out for support to 1800 RESPECT.   Please note our guest on this podcast has been de-identified for her safety and that of her child.  Currently, Section 121 of the Family Law Act prohibits the publication of any specifics that are liable to identify a party to a family law proceeding. However, the provision has attracted criticism from those who say it leads to lack of transparency and accountability in the family court system. This means that the general community does not know a lot about the processes and procedures involved in the family law system. People are also often unaware of the factors that courts take into account and the decisions that judges make. Some journalists feel that the provision does more harm than good. Author and journalist Jess Hill in her 2019 book about family violence See What You Made Me Do, argues that Section 121 ‘allows bad behaviour within the system to go unchecked.'  This is the story of the Powerful Vs Powerless.    

One of the Misvot of Purim is Seudat Purim, the festive Purim feast. The proper time for the Seudah is during the day of Purim, as the Pasuk in the Megila emphasizes, "Y'meh Mishteh"-days of feasting. If one conducted the Seudah on Purim eve, he has not fulfilled his obligation. One should also insure that the majority of the meal is completed before sunset. It is interesting to note that Rabenu HaRashash (Rav Shalom Sharabi, Master Kabbalist, 1720-1777, Yemen) held that the Seudah should be held in the morning Purim. This is, in fact, how Hacham Ovadia conducted himself. Nevertheless, the overwhelming custom is to have the Seudah in the afternoon.There is no absolute requirement to have bread at the Seudah, in accordance with the opinion of the Magen Avraham (Rabbi Abraham Gombiner, Poland, 1637-1682) and the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807) . Nevertheless, it is praiseworthy to do so. It is a Misva to serve meat. The Rama cites a custom to eat "Zironim"-seeds, on Purim. This was Esther's and Daniel's diet while in the non-Jewish royal court, and commemorates their perseverance to eat only Kosher food. Hacham Ovadia held that this custom is observed on Purim eve.DRINKING WINEThere is a misva to drink more than one's accustomed quantity of wine at the Seudah. The Rambam formulates this misva as drinking enough wine to become drowsy and fall asleep. All poskim agree that one should not drink a quantity of wine that will cause him to become lax in Avodat Hashem. Hacham Ben Sion (Ohr Lesion Vol. 4) qualified that which the Shulhan Aruch rules to become drunk until one cannot differentiate between "Baruch Mordehai" and "Arur Haman," as reserved only for people on a high spiritual level. Not everyone can assume that mantle. While women are obligated in Seudat Purim, they should not partake in the drinking.AL HANISIMIn the Birkat Hamazon, "Al Hanisim" is inserted. If one forgot to say "Al Hanisim," he does not go back and repeat the Birkat Hamazon. One should be sure to remember this addition, because there is the minority opinion of the Rashal (Rav Shlomo Luria, 1510-1573, Europe) that if one forgot "Al Hanisim" at the Seudah, he must go back and repeat the Birkat Hamzaon. Maran in Shulhan Aruch brings two opinions as to whether one adds "Al Hanisim" if the Seudah continued into the night. The Halacha is in accordance with the "Stam," unattributed opinion that one does say Al Hanisim. Hacham Ben Sion adds one caveat; this only applies if one ate a Kezayit of bread before sunset. However, if one prayed Arbit in the middle of the Seudah, Hacham Ovadia ruIed that this constitutes a declaration that the day of Purim has already passed, and, therefore, it would be inconsistent to then say "Al Hanisim in the Birkat Hamazon." The best practice is to wait until after the Seudah to pray Arbit.The entire family should treat the holiday of Purim with the dignity accorded to Shabbat. Everyone should wear Shabbat clothes, both at night and during the day, and the table should be set in a festive manner. While it is always praiseworthy to say Divre Torah during the meal, on Purim it is even more important to do so. The Pasuk says "LaYehudim Hayta Orah V'Simcha." The Rabbis explain that "Orah," refers to Torah, and "Simcha" refers to the Purim rejoicing. There should be the light of Torah during the Purim festivities.

The destruction of the holy Temples in Jerusalem took places between 2000-2500 years ago. It's an event so distant in our national history, yet we relive it again every year. Why? Don't cry over spilled milk! What's done is done! Why are we still crying over an event that ended over two millennia ago? Join me as we take a Kabbalistic look at the role of the Temple from a creation perspective. We'll understand what the Temple added to our world and what we're still missing today without it. May HaShem send Mashiach soon in our days, rebuild the third temple and restore that connection speedily in our days! Happy Listening!

Why was one nation chosen from among the seventy – are all human beings not equal before the one God? No, says Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi, most emphatically not. In the sublime system of the Kuzari, the nation of Yisrael alone is a metaphysical, divine people. Only its members can be prophets, and only in their Holy Land; the Torah is decidedly nationalistic. Others are not as exclusive. Rambam maintains that even non-Jews can attain prophecy, and the Shaarei Orah delineates a unique spiritual role for all nations of the world; universalism is the Torah's ultimate goal.

Man was created "in the image of God." What does this mean? How could the form of man be identified with the formless and shapeless God? Shaarei Orah teaches that the human being is the symbolic representation of the divine. God is formless, shapeless – and utterly unknowable. We can know Him only indirectly, through an image that represents Him: the human being. According to this teaching, man's perfection is to properly represent the divine, to actualize it in this physical and limited world. When perfecting himself, man is perfecting God's representation and actually embodies the divine.
