Welcome to Daily Bitachon. We are now getting back to the 'meat and potatoes' of regular topic Bitachon, after our hiatus for lessons from the Hagada Shel Pesach . Rabbenu Yonah, on Mishleh chapter 3, tells us that an important facet of Bitachon is knowing that a human being has no impact on you. . No human being can help you, and no human being can harm you, Zulati yigzor Hashem / unless Hashem makes that decree . He explains that this is what Arur hagever asher yivtach ba'adam / Cursed is the one that relies on a person means ; he thinks that people can do things for him . Another pasuk in Yirmiyah says chidlu lachem min ha'adam / Refrain from people" . This means refrain from relying on people . One has to know that in truth, a human being lacks any ability to harm him . He quotes many familiar pesukim, such as one from Hallel, which says Hashem li lo ira ma ya'aseh li adam , David Hamelech is saying, " Hashem is with me, I'm not afraid what people are going to do" . When a problem comes, a person should realize that everything is in the hands of Hashem . Pnei levavo muadot el Hashem / The face of his heart should be focused on God. Whenever there's a problem, one should focus on God; not on the one that's hitting him, but on the One that is ultimately in charge . He cites a pasuk in Tehillim which has an important lesson, not just for our daily bitachon, but also for one of the most pivotal times of the year . . He quotes the pasuk , Hinei k'einei avadim el yad Adonehem / Our eyes are to You, God like a slave is to his master," and he uses this pasuk as a description of bitachon . The eyes of the slave are towards his master b ecause, as the Hovot Halevavot says in Shaar HaBitachon, a baal bitachon must feel like a servant who is controlled by his master; that no one can impact him but his master . Rabbenu Yonah explains that David Hamelech is saying, " Our eyes are on You God, like a servant is on his master. In a similar vein, the Hovot Halevavot explains why Shaar HaBitachon/Gate of Reliance on Hashem comes after Shaar Avodat Elohim/ Gate of Serving Hashem) . This is because serving Hashem is connected to bitachon, a servant has an obligation to rely on his master because only his master can take care of him . . This is the pasuk of Hinei k'einei avadim el yad Adonehem . As we've said many times, the Anshei Knesset HaGedolah, who wrote our tefillot , based the text of the tefilot on pesukim . Rav Wolbe used to say that the siddur is the Torah Sheba'al Peh/ the Oral Law. And Oral Law is always based on the Written Law. . After we blow the shofar, we say Hayom harat olam / Today is the birth of the world, Hayom ya'amid bamishpat/ Today is the day that God judges kol yetzurei olam/all the creations, And He treats them, Im kevanim im ka'avadim / either like children or like servants Im kevanim / if we're children, then, rachameinu k'rachem av al banim / have mercy, like a father on a child. - There is a level of Jewish people called, Banim atem l'Hashem Elokeichem / We act like children, He treats us like children- But what about Im ka'avadim ? What if we're like servants , which means we don't have that father-son relationship in a way that we're deserving of the mercy of God? What do we do then? The answer is, Enenu lecha teluyot / Our eyes are towards You, Ad shetechoneinu / Until You have chen on us, matnat chinam, v'totzi la'or mishpateinu / and we're going to have a judgment that is a shining judgment" And this, Im ka'avadim eineinu lecha teluyot / Our eyes are on You, comes from this pasuk in Tehillim: k'eneh avadim el yad adoneihem / Like servants are looking to their master " . This means that one of the techniques that we have to be successful in Rosh Hashanah judgment, or any judgment for that matter, is to have bitachon and realize that no matter what happens, ultimately, no one can harm us and no one can help us. We have to rely on Hashem . That is supposed to be our attitude in any trying situation . k'eneh avadim el Yad adoneihem / Like servants have their eyes on their master .

It is customary to adorn our homes and synagogues on Shabuot with flowers and greenery. This custom is recorded by the Rama (Rabbi Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1525-1572) in his discussion of the laws of Shabout (Orah Haim 494:3). More so than on other holidays, it is appropriate on Shabuot to decorate the homes and synagogues with flowers and other vegetation, in order commemorate Matan Torah. At the time of the Revelation at Sinai, G-d warned the people not to allow their cattle to graze on the mountain ("Gam Ha'son Ve'ha'bakar Al Yir'u El Mul Ha'har Ha'hu" – Shemot 34:3), indicating that it was full of pasture. Mount Sinai is in the desert, where vegetation does not grow, but in honor of the event of Matan Torah G-d had flowers and grass grow on the mountain, and we commemorate this adorning of Mount Sinai by adorning our homes and synagogues on Shabuot. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) adds a deeper interpretation of this custom based on Kabbalistic teachings. He explains that Torah study has the effect of "Mituk Ha'dinim" – "sweetening" harsh judgments issued against a person. Even if G-d had issued a decree, Heaven forbid, against somebody, that decree can be annulled through the study of Torah. The divine Name associated with strict judgment is "Elokim," whereas the Name associated with "Mituk Ha'dinim" is "Havaya" (Y-H-V-H). When we spell out the names of the letters of these Names (e.g. the Alef of "Elokim" is spelled out, "Alef, Lamed, Peh"), the combined numerical value of the letters of "Elokim" is 300, and the combined numerical value of the letters of "Havaya" is 72. The letter representing the number 300 is "Seen," and the number 72 is represented by the letters "Ayin" (70) and "Bet" (2). The two letters of "Havaya," the Ben Ish Hai explains, surround the letter of "Elokim" to neutralize its effect, such that the letter "Seen" is placed in between the "Ayin" and "Bet." When the three letters are arranged in this fashion, they spell the word "Eseb" – "grass." Thus, we put out vegetation on Shabuot to symbolize the profound spiritual effect of our Torah study, how it has the capacity to annul harsh judgments. As we celebrate the event of Matan Torah, we remind ourselves of how valuable and precious Torah learning is, as alluded to in the "Eseb" with which we decorate the synagogue and home. Summary: It is customary to decorate homes and synagogues with vegetation on Shabuot to commemorate the vegetation that adorned Mount Sinai when the Torah was given. On a Kabbalistic level, vegetation alludes to the power of Torah study to protect us from harsh decrees.

This article club discusses Swedish researchers who asked secondary school students/Gymnasium to discuss their perceptions of HPE through their assessment experiences. Some interesting but not surprising perceptions were shared, and as is true for the Australian Article Club... good discussion was had!

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** The widespread custom among all Sephardic communities is to recite "Viduy," or confession, immediately following the Amida both at Shaharit and at Minha. This custom is based upon passages in the Zohar (the principal text of Kabbala) and the writings of the Arizal (Rabbi Yishak Luria, 1534-1572). We introduce "Viduy" with the recitation of "Ana Hashem Elokenu V'Elokeh Abotenu…" After "Viduy," we proceed to the recitation of the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy ("Hashem, Hashem…") and Nefilat Apayim ("Le'David…"). The Arizal instructed that the "Viduy" should be recited according to the sequence of the Hebrew alphabet. We thus begin with "Ashamnu" – a word that starts with the letter "Alef" – followed by "Bagadnu," and so on. When we come to the letters that take on a different form when appearing at the end of a word ("Kaf," "Mem," "Nun," "Peh" and "Sadi"), we recite two words with that letter. Thus, for example, for "Kaf" we recite "Kizabnu" and "Ka'asnu," and for the letter "Mem" we recite "Maradnu" and "Marinu Debarecha." This was the position of the Arizal, and the custom in Yeshivat Bet El, as documented by the Ben Ish Hai (Rabbi Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in Parashat Ki-Tisa. The entire confessional text in recited in plural form. For example, we recite "Ashamnu" ("We bear guilt"), as opposed to "Ashamti" ("I bear guilt"), and so on. The Sha'ar Hakavanot writes that one must recite the entire "Viduy" even if he knows with certainty that he has not transgressed one or several of the violations enumerated in the "Viduy" text. It is possible that he has transgressed the given violation in a previous Gilgul (incarnation of the soul), or that a person whose soul is connected to his soul is guilty of that transgression. He may have also unwittingly caused others to violate the sin, or perhaps violated a sin resembling the transgression in question. For all these reasons, one should not skip any part of the "Viduy" even if he thinks he has not violated one of the sins mentioned. "Viduy" must be recited while standing (Masechet Yoma 87). During the "Viduy" recitation, one may not lean on a wall or piece of furniture in a manner such that he would fall if that object would be suddenly moved. While reciting the list of sins ("Ashamnu…"), one should bow slightly as an expression of humble submission. It is customary for both the Hazan and the congregation to recite "Viduy" in a whisper, rather than in a loud, audible voice. Even a person praying privately, who does not recite the Thirteen Attributes, recites "Ana" and the "Viduy." If a person who had already recited "Viduy" happens to be present in a synagogue when the congregation recites "Viduy," he is not required to join them, though it is proper for him to recite the words, "Hatati Aviti Pashati" while they recite "Viduy." One may recite "Viduy" during the nighttime hours, except on Mosa'eh Shabbat, until Hasot (midnight as defined by Halacha). In fact, according to Kabbalistic teaching, one should recite "Viduy" before he goes to sleep, along with his recitation of the bedtime Shema. The Kaf Ha'haim (Rabbi Yaakov Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939) cites this custom (in 239:2) in the name of the Arizal. It is customary, however, not to recite "Viduy" with the bedtime Shema on a night following a day when Nefilat Apayim is omitted. Thus, for example, on the night following Shabbat, Rosh Hodesh or holidays, one should not recite "Viduy" with the bedtime Shema. The Ben Ish Hai mentions this Halacha in Parashat Ki Tisa (7). This discussion relates only to the recitation of "Viduy," and not to the Thirteen Attributes or Nefilat Apayim, which one should not recite at nighttime. Needless to say, "Viduy" should not be recited on Shabbat or holidays.

Ki Sisa, Chelek Chof Vov, page 248Whats good about being broken?Moshe broke the Luchos and Hashem said "yasher koach!" Hashem agreed with Moshe and praised him. The yidden served the eigel, Moshe saved the honor of the Torah, etc - this could make sense, but the Rebbe says - no! Its not enough! Moshe could have just hid the luchos (toss into the ocean :)) - why specifically break them?There is something praiseworthy of broken luchos.We see that Moshe was sad about it and Hashem comforted him - the second set of luchos came along with Torah She'baal Peh too! With more, expansion! The 2nd set was an upgrade! And Moshe was praised after the 2nd set was given.The broken luchos made space for something bigger.Breaking the luchos in front of the yidden, broke us open allowing us to be open to Hashem, open to a bigger, better, expanded future. So is being broken the way to go?NO! The secret of the luchos 1 & 2 - broken & whole - is where they were kept - together, in the Aron!The Aron had measurements, yet took no space - the holding of 2 opposites together. Just like we should bring the 2 opposites of broken luchos & whole luchos together. We each have an aron in our hearts and are empowered to live with these 2 aspects together: broken, allowing the space for Hashem in, and whole - being myself fully invested with all my strengths and full self (not a robot).And from the broken moments, we can grow and double and redouble accomplishments! "Why does Hashem break us?" We should have Moshiach NOW and then we can see the greatness of the journey!

In this weeks class we cover the Mesorah of Torah from Moshe to us today. This is a very important class to know that the same Torah Moshe taught the Jews in the Midbar is the same that we are learning and teaching today. (One correction- I said the the Yemenite Jews concerning their lack of Torah Shel bal Peh in truth I meant the Ethiopian jews)

In this shmooze, delivered at Mevaseret Mishmar, Rav Burg explains the inner meaning of the fact that Yaakov slept on Har HaMoriah and did not learn Torah and at the same time was learning Mishnayos all night long. As we descend deeper into Golus and the truth becomes less and less clear, we discover our own voice and our own contributions to the choir of Torah shebaal Peh.

In this episode within the short meditation series of the Aleph Beis, we focus on the letters Feh פ (without inner nekuda, dot) and Peh פּ (with the nekuda). The word Peh also means mouth in Hebrew, and this meditation guides the listener to a deeper understanding of the relationship between this letter and the mouth, revealing an inner secret.   Music credits: Free Meditation Music 528Hz Music - No CopyRight Music - Royalty Free Healing Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlnfVgRTMRE&t=0s

We are now up to the 4 th pasuk in Ne'ilah , which is yet another proof that Hashem wants us to do teshuva and does not want us to die. Yechezkiel 18,23: הֶחָפֹ֤ץ אֶחְפֹּץ֙ מ֣וֹת רָשָׁ֔ע נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֑ה הֲל֛וֹא בְּשׁוּב֥וֹ מִדְּרָכָ֖יו וְחָיָֽה Do I want the death of the wicked? And this is the word of Hashem, our God . Rather, when he returns and repents from his ways, and he lives It's interesting that every prayer in our Amida connects to pesukim . For quite a while, we've been focusing on the power of pesukim , and if anyone reads through the Rishonim they'll see exactly how the Anshei Knesset HaGedolah matched our prayers to pesukim, with the exact amount of words corresponding to certain pesukim . The Tur says that the pasuk of Zochrenu L'Chaim/ Remember us for life has 11 words: זָכְרֵֽנוּ לְחַיִּים מֶֽלֶךְ חָפֵץ בַּחַיִּים וְכָתְבֵֽנוּ בְּסֵֽפֶר הַחַיִּים לְמַעַנְךָ אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים , corresponding to the 11 words in this pasuk . And how do we know that everything needs to source? Because the Siddur is Torah Sh'B'al Peh/the Oral Law, and the Oral Law has to be rooted in the Written Law. So I know that God is a Melech Chafetz B'Chaim; that He wants life because it says in this pasuk, from Yehezkiel , " I don't want the death of the wicked. Rather, I want them to live. " And when we say Zocherenu L'Chaim, we're invoking this pasuk . We say it in Ne'ilah to remind ourselves that God wants our teshuva. The sefer Shem M'Shmuel Toldot in the year תרעז says that because God is the Ultimate Good and is the Ultimate Kind One, He wants to constantly bring us closer. Like we just said in this pasuk , God doesn't want the wicked person to die. So what does God do? God arouses us in teshuva. God sends messages to our heart to awaken us in teshuva . That's Hashem's will. It's not a coincidence that we sometimes suddenly feel something in our hearts. When we feel something in our hearts, it's because God, Who loves us so much and wants us to come closer to Him, is sending us messages. That's really what we're feeling at Ne'ilah - we're feeling Hashem saying to us, I don't want you to mess up. I'm deciding now, and I want you to live . And live doesn't just mean a physical life. God wants you to have a spiritual life. So feel that and understand it at the moment of Neilah . The sefer Or Torah tells us that the Midrash says that if a person sins a sin that is liable to get Mita Biydeh Shamayim /a death penalty from the heavens, if he used to learn one page of Gemarah, he should learn two. If he learned one chapter of Mishnayot , learn two. Increase your Torah learning-that is a way to have your sins forgiven. That's what this pasuk means. Hashem says, I don't want you to die. And not just that I don't want you to die Mitah Byedeh Shamayim, but I don't want you to kill yourself with all kinds of fasts and ways of pain that weaken your body so that you're almost dead. That's not what I want. I want you to learn Torah . Torah gives life, so the best way to do teshuva is not through killing yourself, but by doing something that will cause you to live, which is learning Torah. Put your efforts and your pain into learning as it says, השיבינו אבינו לתורתך Return us in Teshuva to Your Torah. Rabbenu Yona, in Shaare Teshuva (chapter 4) speaks about this at length, and says that when a person is liable for suffering, the best suffering is putting your suffering into learning . That means you toil and the pain that you have in your eyes, the pain that you have in your body, all those pains from feeling tired or you're hungry or whatever it is, because you're learning and you're toiling and you're putting your efforts in, that is the best possible suffering. And it's a mitzvah at the same time! Therefore, Yechezkiel is telling us, and we say in Ne'ilah, Hashem doesn't want us to suffer. He doesn't want us to be in pain . He wants us to live, and live a good life. We just have to come back to Him.

The very last of the 613 Misvot in the Torah is the command to write a Sefer Torah. The Torah instructs in Parashat Vayelech (31:19), "Ve'ata Kitbu Lachem Et Ha'shira Ha'zot" – literally, "And now, write down for yourselves this song," referring to the text of the Torah. Why is the Torah referred to as a "Shira" – song? Why aren't we commanded simply to write a Torah? And what does it tell us about the Torah that it is described this way? Several different answers have been given to this question. The Netziv (Rav Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin of Volozhin, 1816-1893), in his Torah commentary, explains that the word "Shira" actually means "poem." The Torah is referred to as a "poem," the Netziv writes, because a poem is not to be taken at face value. When writing a poem, the poet utilizes numerous literary devices to convey a deep message. The true meaning of the poem cannot be understood through a simple, straightforward reading of the text; the words need to be carefully studied and analyzed. Similarly, the text of the Torah requires in-depth study. The plain meaning does not convey the full message of the Torah. This is why we have the Torah She'be'al Peh – the oral tradition – which teaches us how to understood the deep meaning of the Torah text. The conventional understanding, however, is that "Shira" indeed means song, and that the Torah is compared to a song. Why? One reason is that a song speaks to the heart, not the mind. Learning is an intellectual exercise, whereas listening to music arouses the soul, stirring one's emotions. Torah is called a "Shira" because the experience of Torah learning is both intellectual and emotional. On the one hand, of course, learning is an intellectual exercise, as we use our minds to absorb and understand the profound wisdom of the Torah. But additionally, the experience of Torah learning touches our souls. Through the study of Torah, we connect with Hashem, and strengthen our bond with Him. And so learning Torah is not only intellectual, but also spiritual. Like music, Torah affects our inner beings, our soul and our spirit. This is why we should endeavor to learn Torah even when our minds aren't working as well as we want them to, when we find it difficult to focus, when we are distracted, when we are fatigued, or otherwise unable to absorb and understand to the best of our ability. Even under less-than-ideal intellectual conditions, there is still great spiritual value to Torah learning. If a person's mind is not currently able to understand an intricate passage in the Talmud, there are lighter texts that he can and should learn. Once we recognize the spiritual value of Torah learning, the impact it has upon our hearts and upon our souls, we will want to learn under all conditions, even when they aren't ideal. There is also an additional ramification of the emotional impact of Torah learning. King David proclaims in Tehillim (119:54), "Zemirot Hayu Li Hukecha" – "Your statutes were songs for me," emphasizing this emotional, spiritual dimension of Torah learning. He spent many years on the run, fleeing from those who tried to kill him. He also led may wars against enemy armies. During those periods of hardship, Torah learning was his "song," his source of calm and serenity. Torah study touches the heart and connects us to Hashem, bringing us comfort and peace of mind during life's difficult moments. Let us utilize this precious gift that we have been given, and take advantage of every opportunity we are given to immerse ourselves in Torah learning and reap the invaluable emotional and spiritual benefits that it offers us.

We find an allusion to the Misva of Shofar in Parashat Nisavim, where the Torah warns, "Pen Yesh Bachem Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" – "Lest there is among you a root of evil of rebellion" (Debarim 29:17). The first letters of the phrase, "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" are "Shin," "Peh," "Resh" and "Vav" – the letters of the word "Shofar." This allusion is very significant, as it expresses the unique power and impact of the Shofar blowing – namely, its ability to eliminate the "root" of evil within us. Before Adam's sin in Gan Eden, evil was separate from good; the human being was pure and good, and evil existed outside of him. But as a result of Adam's partaking from the forbidden tree, evil became ingrained within him, and since then, the good and evil inside us struggle with one another. The Shofar blowing, however, has the power to subdue the force of evil inside of us, so we can once again become perfectly good and pure. It eliminates the "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'lana'a" – the "root of evil and rebellion" from which sin grows. This power of the Shofar sound is expressed in the number of sounds that we blow. The primary obligation of Shofar blowing requires blowing thirty sounds, which we do before Musaf. We blow additional sounds during Musaf, but the primary obligation is fulfilled through the first thirty sounds. The reason for the thirty sounds is because the Torah mentions three times the obligation to sound a "Teru'a," and the Sages inferred from the text that every Teru'a must be preceded and followed by a Teki'a. Therefore, in principle, we should blow nine Shofar sounds – blowing three times a series of Teki'a, Teru'a, and another Teki'a. However, the Talmud records three different opinions as to what the Torah means by the word "Teru'a." One view maintains that this refers to what we call a Teru'a – a series of very short sounds – whereas another opinion is that it means a Shebarim – three medium-sized sounds. According to the third view, the Biblical term Teru'a refers to a combination of a Shebarim and Teru'a ("Shebarim-Teru'a"). In order to satisfy all three opinions, we blow all three Teru'a sounds. It thus emerges that we blow thirty sounds: three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teru'a-Teki'a (3X4=12); three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teki'a (3X3=9); and three sets of Teki'a- Teru'a-Teki'a (3X3=9) – for a total of 30 (12+9+9). The Gemara establishes that the Teru'a sound – however it is defined – must be at least the length of nine "Trumitin" – brief sounds. Moreover, the Teki'a must be the same length as the Teru'a. As such, when we blow thirty Shofar sounds, we blow 270 Trumitin (30X9). This number is the Gematria (numerical value) of the word "Ra" – "evil." By blowing these 270 sounds, we subdue the forces of "Ra" within us so our innate goodness can prevail. Of course, our primary intention when we hear the Shofar is to fulfill the Torah obligation to hear the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah. However, we should be aware of the fact that there are many profound ideas and powers associated with this previous Misva, and that it gives us the spiritual strength that we need to subjugate our evil inclination and allow the goodness within us to shine.

We are studying Perek Shira and we are now up to our second creation that says Shira, and that is the Earth. We quote a pasuk that might not be so familiar, from Yeshaya 24,16 מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ צְבִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֔יק From the wing of the earth we have heard songs, do the will of the Righteous one. What does it mean that we heard songs from the wing of the Earth? Normally, songs come from the mouth, not from the wing. The Or HaChaim HaKadosh on Bamidbar 16,30 tells us that when the Gemara tells us that when Kayin sinned, it says, “ You're more cursed than the ground that had opened up its mouth.” The earth was punished because it swallowed the blood of Hevel and as a result the Earth's mouth was sealed and it could no longer sing a song like all other creatures. That's why it says, “ מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ / From the wing of the earth we heard songs,” as if it's making noise in other ways, like a bird might make noise with its wings, but not with its mouth. When Moshe Rabbenu wanted to punish Korach, he said, “ If a creation will create. ” What does that mean? If h creation was once there, he will recreate. There once was a mouth there, but the mouth got closed. “Reopen it now and let this mouth swallow up Korach.” The Or HaChaim HaKadosh says this was a tikun . The earth made a tikun because the first time it swallowed the blood of Hevel, who was a Sadik , צְבִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֔יק and now he'll swallow up the rasha Korach and that fixed the earth. The earth made a tikun . Parenthetically, it says that Moshe Rabbenu was a gilgul of Hevel. It says Moshe was a shepherd , once upon a time –meaning in the times of Hevel. And Kayin came back as Korach, who was jealous. that's why it says, “ Hashem says, Im Tetiv/If you do good, Se'et/You will lift,” you'll carry the Aron. And if you don't fix yourself, your sin will be waiting by the mouth/the opening, and you'll will be swallowed up by the earth. So here, on round two, the earth fixes its sin. Rather than swallowing up the blood of Hevel, he sticks up for Hevel and swallows up Korach, who is Kayin. Beautiful. What's our message? Again, in every one of these pesukim, there's a mussar as well. The mussar is that you can sin, and you can fix it. And we can once again sing to Hashem, even though we might have lost the ability to sing. That's the first beautiful point on this pasuk. Beautiful point number two is that (again, the earth now is being used as praiser) it says that when Sanheriv's army was wiped out, miraculously, Hizkiyah was supposed to be Mashiach. He was a devout sadik and a Baal bitachon . He went to sleep at night and God brought the miracle, and he was supposed to become Mashiach. But the Middat HaDin/Justice said, David Hamelech said so many songs and he wasn't Mashiach,and this king Hizkiyah had this miracle and didn't sing afterwards and You're going to make him Mashiach? Therefore, he did not become Mashiach. At that point, the Earth said, “I will replace his song, I'll sing instead of him, and please make him Mashiach. That's what it means, מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ צְבִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֔יק Please make the Sadik Hizkiyah into Mashiach. But it didn't work. It was too late. But the earth did try to stick up for the Sadik and sing a song. We can, once again, reignite this Mashiach-like happening. The Tosafot in Sanhedrin brings down from the Teshuvot HaGeonim that the Bnei Yisrael only say Kedusha on Shabbat. Based on this Tosafot , we all have a different type of Kedusha in our Shabbat Amida, whatever community you come from. Why? Because the pasuk tells us that the angels have six wings, and every wing corresponds to a different day of the week where they sing a song with that wing. Come Shabbat, there's no wing. So, God says, I have another wing that will create song for me. That's the מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ /the wing that's down here on earth. That's the seventh wing. And that's the day of Shabbat. זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ when we'll hear the songs from the Jewish people. That's the source that we sing songs on Shabbat, and on Shabbat we are elevated to be higher than the angels. The angels ran out of wings and we, the Jewish people, sing the songs of Shabbat. That's our opportunity to, so to say, bring a Messianic time. Shabbat is Me'en Olam Haba. On Shabbat, we evoke this force of the songs of the earth. Finally, one last beautiful piece: The Chida on his sefer Kikar LaAden ( siman ה ) has a commentary on Perek Shira, he brings there from Rav Shimshon Ostropoli, the following explanation. It says in Pirkei D'Rav Eliezer there that there are five letters that are called Sophiot – מנצפך - it spells Mansepach And it says, these are letters of Geula/redemption. You might have seen this concept when banging the Aravot five times according to the Sephardic custom. And it says, each time you bang, have one of these letters in mind. And we'll see in a moment why. It says Avraham Avinu said Lech Lecha, ל ך ל ך He had 2 ך s Yitzhak Avinu said ‘ כי עצמת מ מנו מ אד / You become much stronger than us, a phrase with two Mems Yaakov Avinu said, ה צלי נ י נ א /Save me, with two Nuns . And in Mitzrayim it says פ קד פ קדתי , with two Pehs . In the future we're going to have two Sadi's because it says איש צ מח י צ מח /the man of Semah, which is the Mashiach, will grow- there's the two sadis . So that's what we say, מִכְּנַ֨ף הָאָ֜רֶץ זְמִרֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ /We already heard the songs of the Mem the Chaf , the Nun and Peh .. צְבִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֔יק /We're looking forward to Sadik . We're looking forward to hear the Sadik , the Sadi letter that's going to bring the final Geula-And the earth is going to sing that. So this pasuk refers to Geula, Geula comes from singing songs and it connects itself to Shabbat. Another beautiful thought on this pasuk. And once again, we are fulfilling that we're involving ourselves in in-depth learning of Perek Shira. Have a wonderful day.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 33 minutesSynopsis: This morning (5/31/24), in the FIRST of our Friday morning Machshavah Lab shiurim for women, we took up an old problem: Why is Olam ha'Ba only mentioned in Torah she'baal Peh but not Torah she'bi'Chsav. I wrote an article a few years ago in which I summarized seven views on this topic from the Rishonim along with one view of my own (see the show notes for a link to the article). I began this morning's shiur with a BRIEF overview of those eight answers, and then we read and discussed a ninth answer I recently discovered in R' Yosef ibn Kaspi's commentary on this week's parashah. In addition to being a thought-provoking answer in its own right, I think his explanation has far-reaching implications for our methodology of learning Torah she'bi'Chsav, but perhaps that should be another shiur.-----מקורות:אברבנאל - ויקרא כו:גhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/parashas-bechukosai-what-about-afterlifeר"י אבן כספי – ויקרא פרק כורמב"ן - בראשית א:א-ב-----The Torah content this week has been dedicated by me in honor of Ann with gratitude for her monthly support of my Torah content and in celebration of her engagement to Ben.

Season 05 Episode 01: Citizen Control."Consultation - meh! Peh!" complains Sara, with disdain. "There is a lot of corporate hazing and gaslighting," reflects Trajce. This episode was spurned by the presentation by Dr Elise Crawford of Central Queensland University on her reesarch of worker particpation in their work design during the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia Queensland seminar last year. Sara elaborates on the tiered scales of organisational citizenship which can fall into the categories of 'non participation,' 'tokenism,' and 'degrees of citizen power.' Alarmingly, 'consultation,' falls into the category of 'tokenism.' Alan reminds us that this is a workplace obligation in the work health and safety legislation ."It's a sham!" exclaims Trajce. He trails, "This sounds like another 'C-word' in our lexicon of work vocabulary..."

J.J. and Dr. Shaye Cohen go deep into the world of the mishnah and try to mark the boundaries between the world of the mishnah and the world of history.Shaye J. D. Cohen is the Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of Harvard University, one of the oldest and most distinguished professorships of Jewish studies in the United States. Before arriving at Harvard in July 2001, Prof. Cohen was for ten years the Samuel Ungerleider Professor of Judaic Studies and Professor of Religious Studies at Brown University. Prof. Cohen began his career at the Jewish Theological Seminary where he was ordained and was for many years the Dean of the Graduate School and Shenkman Professor of Jewish History. He received his Ph.D. in Ancient History, with distinction, from Columbia University in 1975. The focus of Prof. Cohen's research is the boundary between Jews and gentiles and between Judaism and its surrounding cultures. What makes a Jew a Jew, and what makes a non-Jew a non-Jew? Can a non-Jew become a Jew, and can a Jew become a non-Jew? How does the Jewish boundary between Jew and non-Jew compare with the Jewish boundary between male Jew and female Jew? On these and other subjects Prof. Cohen has written or edited ten books and over sixty articles. His study of circumcision and gender in Judaism is entitled Why aren't Jewish Women Circumcised? (2005). He is perhaps best known for From the Maccabees to the Mishnah (1987; second edition 2006), which is widely used as a textbook in colleges and adult education, and his The Beginnings of Jewishness (1999), which has been widely discussed in scholarly circles. He has also appeared on educational television, including From Jesus to Christ and Nova on PBS, Mysteries of the Bible on A&E, and various programs on the History Channel. Prof. Cohen has received an honorary doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary and appointments as Croghan Distinguished Visiting Professor of Religion (Williams College), the Louis Jacobs Lecturer (Oxford University), the David M. Lewis Lecturer (Oxford University), Lady Davis Visiting Professor of Jewish History (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), the Block Lecturer (Indiana University), the Roland Visiting Lecturer (Stanford University) and the Pritchett Lecturer (University of California, Berkeley). Prof. Cohen lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with his wife Miriam May and children Ava, Jonathan, Ezra, and Hannah.

A Segulah for Protection Theportion of Pinchas includes the readings of all of the holidays of the year.The renown Gaon and MeKubal , Rabbi Chaim Palagi in his sefer Refuah VeChaim12/46 – (Healing and Life) brings an incredible segulah. The Rabbi explainsthat the reading of these perekin 28 and 29 is a protection against judgment, andspecifically with regard to court and legal cases especially from the nationsof the world. Whowas this great Rabbi: Rabbi Chaim Palagi was a prolific author. Seventy-two ofhis works are known, but it also is known that some of his manuscripts were destroyedin the great fire which struck Izmir in 1841. Every time R' Palaji published anew book, he made a festive meal and ate a new fruit, on which he would recitethe blessing of 'She'he'cheyanu Inone of his works, R' Palagi describes his own life as follows: I call heavenand earth to testify that from the age when I could control my faculties untilI was 20, I used to devote myself single-mindedly to Torah study, day andnight, with no wasted time. I had no involvement with worldly matters. From age20 to age 40, when my children were dependent on me, I dealt with worldlymatters as a broker. Nevertheless, whenever I had no work, I did not turn tofrivolity and wasteful things, but rather I returned to my studies. From age40, when I was appointed to be a rabbinical judge and teacher and to handlematters of concern to the public, until this day, there is not a minute when Iam not surrounded by litigants or by public affairs. These matters come bothfrom this city and its environs, and also various decrees of the governmentkeep me busy with matters affecting the public. Therefore my heart worrieswithin me that I do not spend sufficient time studying. I, therefore, forcemyself to use the limited time that I have for studying, and may others see meand do the same; may they learn from me that when distractions come along,whether they come from public or private matters -- for one's eyes and heartsearch for a spare moment -- that spare time, when it comes, should not bewasted. If one lives thus, his Torah studies will be blessed. R' Palagi's son wrote of him: His behaviorwith his family and the excellence of his character traits in dealing with themwas unique in the world. He never became upset about any household issue; tothe contrary, he always made peace overtures. He never became upset at thechildren's noise. He used to call them to him each morning to recite themorning blessings, and they prayed out loud. Very patiently, every day, heperformed the mitzvah of 'You shall teach them to your children.' Hewould instruct his children in fearing Hashem . . . and never to make fun ofany person. Once, a member of his household offended another person, and he[i.e., R' Palagi] did not rest until that person had been appeased. A number oftimes, he even gave money to a person who had been offended. Acouple of weeks ago, a friend who is dealing with issues exaggerated againsthim by seemingly overzealous government employees asked about a Kameyah writtenand segulot which might come to assist in his defense against these malevolentforces. As these subjects are way above my rabbinical paygrade, I spoke withsome rabbis who frequent these worlds to understand the power behind thekameyah and suggested some tefilot and actions to add. I also employed mybrother Victor who I can depend on to always explain to me difficult tounderstand kabbalistic concepts and he too gave me some tools. Earlier thisweek Victor was excited to share the words of Rabbi Chaim Palagi as recalled byRabbi Daniel Gladstein from the Sefer quoted above. Itis our custom every day to begin Mincha with Lamnaseyach and before the ketoretto recite the first 8 verses from Bamidbar Chapter 28 recalling the dailingTamid offerings. In another sefer, Moed LeKol Chai, Rav Palagi mentions that itwas his own custom to not stop at 8 pesukim but to continue at mincha gedolahto read these two chapters in full beginning with Shabbat through the 21 daysof holidays culminating with the sacrifices brought each day of sukkot, the 70offerings brought on behalf of the 70 nations. Rabbi Palagi who dealt withgovernment entities each day explained that through the reading of theseofferings, there is a reduction in spiritual power against us for thosenations. He continues and he elucidates that anyone who has a claim againstthem from the nations of the world, whether a government or court should employthis method as a segulah to protect themselves. TheRabbi brings a story of a man would been incarcerated on an inflated charge inIzmir, and he suggested to the man to read every single day in the afternoonprayer these two chapters. Thisoccurred during the month of Elul and miraculously and without explanation, theman was released on Sukkot. Thepower of these verses is not limited to Sukkot and in fact during our period ofben hametzrim they can be a very commanding protection activating theincredible power hidden within this portion of Pinchas. Reading of a portioninfluences the time of the year, especially now when we go into this difficultperiod of the three weeks when we caution against court cases againstadversaries. Hashem brings this to assist us. Continuingon this path, if we examine the reading in this portion where we see thelisting of all of the holidays, we see in the chumash that between all of theholidays, there is the letter samach. For example between Passover andShevauot, there is a samach and between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and YomKippur and Sukkoth through each day of the festival, but between the new yearand the day of atonement there is a letter S and then another one before thefestival of booths . But between Shavuot and Rosh Hashana there is only a Peh,take a look and ask why? What could bethe significance of this? TheApter Rav suggests that this period of Ben HaMesarim which we call the threeweeks is comprised of 21 days, relating to the 21 holidays we mention in thesechapters of Pinchas. They are Shabbat, Rosh Hodesh, Pesach(7), Shavuot, RoshHashana (2), Yom Kippur and Sukkot (8). And there is a reason in reading aboutthem at the start of this period. Thehint in the word ACH, we say Ach Tov – just good. The good for Yisrael is inthe Ach, which has the numerical equivlent Aleph and Chaf of 21. Tov of goodcan be found in these 21. And these 21 holidays are rooted in the 21 days ofthe Three Weeks. Soone must ask a question, why would all our holidays all be rooted in the 21days of Ben HaMesarim? Wemust remind ourselves of what Rabbi Abittan taught. These 21 days should'vebeen a very special period. We recall that the day Moses came down with theluchot was the 17th of Tammuz. That should have been an incredible holiday. Andthe day the spies returned and we could've made the decision to go marchinginto the land was the ninth of Av. We reversed the dynamic of these days. Wecut the wires holding incredible power and turned the great spiritual energyinto great spiritual danger. But the potential remains. RabbiGladstein also suggested that all of the fast days represent the root of theDavidic dynasty. We are taught that the Mashiach was born on the ninth of Av.And the 17th of Tammuz is the wedding night of Ruth and Boaz when theconception of Oved occurred. We also have the 10th of Tevet, 9 months prior tothe 9th of Av, as the conception date of the Mashiach. These21 days are really festive days at a higher plane, but because of our actions,we have dimmed them and we await the reconnection of the wires, the restorationof that energy and light that will transform these 21 days of mourning to 21days of a festival of joy. And the greatest holiday will be the one on the ninthof Av. Therefore,as we begin these 21 days, it is important to read about the 21 days ofholiness. TheBenai Yissaschar asked, why do we (other than in a leap year) always double upthe last two portions Matot and Masei of the book of Numbers? Why not double upthe two portions of Chukat and Balak as we read last week in order to catch upwith Israel? He answers that it's important for us to read the portions ofPinchas, Matot and Masei now as they discuss the distribution of the land ofIsrael especially during this time when we read about or we live through theaspect of exile. Andas we explained in the class we posted earlier this week, “Incapacitating theAngel of Death”, we have to remember that Pinchas as explained by Rabbi PinchasFriedman, is Eliyahu and Eliyahu will announce the coming of the messiah. Thiswas also the claim Moses made against Hashem at the burning bush, shelach beyadtishlach, when he told Hashem to send instead, Eliyahu, who would usher in thefinal redemption as Moses did not want to be the guy to bring in a halfredemption. Hashemalways gives us the cure before bringing the malady. We can suggest thatPinchas is the cure being Eliyahu, which we read at the outset of the threeweeks in order to show us as we go into the three weeks that the cure isalready there, and Eliyahu is waiting for us, and we just need to bring thecure. Thenwe have the distribution of the land, showing us that, even though we are in aperiod where we recall the exile, and we are living within this very longexile, just as the land was distributed for us back then, the land is for useven now, and into the future. Andfinally, we can allude to the 21 days of holidays that are mentioned as the 21days of holidays we have, and the source for those 21 holidays and the factthat these 21 days Ben HaMEsarim, will be transformed into a great holidayculminating with, the great festivity of The new Tisha BeAv Returningto our original question where we asked why there is a Samach between all ofthe holidays with the exception of between Shavuot and Rosh Hashana, we canthat Hashem reserved for us another holiday to fit into that time slot betweenJune and September, and that is the 21 day holiday to be re-introduced into thesystem, leatid lavoh. We've mentioned often that the original plan was to havea holiday each month and when we messed it up with the Golden Calf and with theSpies, everything got pushed. But we are hoping that with the imminent arrivalof Mashiach we will be blessed to celebrate these 21 days in joy together withthe rebuilding of the Mikdash speedily in our days.

The Torah in Parashat Pinhas tells about the census taken of Beneh Yisrael shortly before they crossed into the Land of Israel. We find in the Torah's account of this census a list of the families of each tribe. The tribe of Yissachar, for example, consisted of four families, established by the four sons of Yissachar – Tola, Puva, Yashub and Shimron (26:23-24). The Or Ha'haim Ha'kadosh (Rav Haim Ben-Attar, 1696-1743) comments that the name “Yissachar,” and the names of his sons, actually convey to us various lessons relevant to Torah learning. Tradition teaches that the tribe of Yissachar devoted itself to learning and became outstanding scholars, and were supported by the people of the tribe of Zebulun, who worked as merchants and shared their earnings with the scholars of Yissachar. The name “Yissachar,” the Or Ha'haim writes, represents the phrase “Yesh Sachar” – “there is reward,” indicating to us that the greatest reward we can earn is the reward for immersion in Torah study. Likewise, the names of Yissachar's sons, which then became the names of the families of this tribe of scholars, teach us about the way to approach the pursuit of Torah scholarship. Yissachar's first son is called “Tola,” which means “worm.” This alludes to the quality of humility, which is vital for succeeding in learning. Moreover, the silkworm produces precious silk from its mouth – a symbol of how much one can achieve and produce through his mouth, by speaking words of Torah. Yissachar's second child is named “Puva,” which is related to the word “Peh” – mouth, but with the letter “Heh” substituted with a “Vav.” The Or Ha'haim notes that according to the wisdom of Kabbala, the letter “Vav” is associated with Torah, and thus the name “Puva” expresses the quality of utilizing one's mouth for Torah learning. The family that descended from this son is known as the “Puni” family, a word that resembles “Panui” – cleared, or emptied. In order to attain Torah scholarship, one must reduce his indulgence in food, and in idle chatter and frivolity, “clearing” his mouth so that it can be used exclusively to speak the sacred words of the Torah. The name “Yashub,” the Or Ha'haim writes, alludes to “Yeshiba” (literally, “sitting”), the need to devote a great deal of time and effort to Torah study. The Or Ha'haim explains that “Yeshiba” connotes permanence, consistent attendance and regular learning, as opposed to an occasional visit to the study hall. This commitment is an indispensable prerequisite to achievement in Torah learning. Finally, the fourth son is called “Shimron,” a name derived from the root “SH.M.R.,” which means “guard.” A student of Torah must exercise extreme care in all his behavior, to ensure to not even appear to act improperly. The Gemara in Masekhet Yoma (86a) tells of certain great Sages who refrained from activities which are, in and of themselves, perfectly acceptable, but could be misunderstood as inappropriate. A student of Torah must see himself as a representative of Torah, as an ambassador, because this is how others see him. His behavior will help shape other people's opinion of Torah and of dedicated religious Jews. And thus one of Yissachar's children was named “Shimron” – emphasizing the importance of “Shemira,” of guarding oneself to ensure that he does not do anything which could potentially reflect negatively on the Torah and its adherents.

Length: 1 hour 13 minutesSynopsis: This morning (2/24/23), in our second Friday Q&A (this one for women), we took up five questions: (1) If the texts of Torah she'baal Peh "evolved" to suit the needs of the times, why can't this happen with the text of tefilah as well? (2) What advice do I have for how to insert personal requests in the amidah? (3a) When doing chesed, should we prioritize people we know or strangers? (3b) What is our obligation of tzedakah for non-Jews? (4a) Now that I'm out of seminary and in college, what should I focus on in learning?

Continuamos con la exposición del pensamiento de Santo Tomás de Aquino. En esta segunda entrega nos ocupamos de su epistemología, incluyendo el debate con Averroes y los averroístas latinos respecto a la naturaleza de Entendimiento paciente o posible. Nos ocupamos también de la ética tomista, campo en el que tematizó su concepción de la Ley Natural, que sigue siendo la doctrina oficial de la Iglesia católica y fuente de gran debate ético. Para cerrar el episodio hablamos de cómo Tomás de Aquino transpone esta Ley Natural al campo del Derecho generando así su concepción de la Justícia. Quedamos a la espera del fascinante combate del próximo episodio en el que Diógenes de Sínope y Pehún Alvarado (el presentador de FIDES PODCAST) se enfrentarán en un combate a cinco asaltos al hilo de las demostraciones de la existencia de Dios de Santo Tomás.

The Torah is broken up into many different sections and parts. The primary two being the written law (Torah She'bichsav) and the oral law (Torah She'ba'al Peh). In today's episode I lay out the general structure of the Torah and show how all the sections are interconnected. I also cover topics such as: 1) How could the oral law have been written down? 2) Was every prophecy received included in Prophets? 3) What's the difference between Torah, Prophets and Writings? 4) Why did God give both a written and oral Torah?

En este episodio empezamos la exposición del pensamiento de uno de los más grandes pensadores de todos los tiempos, y desde luego el más influyente a la postre de toda la filosofía medieval. En esta primera entrega analizaremos el contexto histórico e intelectual de Tomás de Aquino y abordaremos su teoría antropológia, que a partir de una base monista aristotélica adopta elementos platónicos dualistas, puesto que el credo cristiano requería la afirmación de la inmortalidad del alma. Además, hacia el final del episodio te espera una nueva sorpresa de la mano de Pehún Alvarado y FIDES PODCAST. Para esta entrega, Pehún se ha basado en un magnífico video de Enric F. Gel en su canal de youtube "Adictos a la filosofía" sobre la impugnación de Tomás de Aquino al dogma de la Inmaculada concepión.

Teshuva is the greatest favor of all - we can undo the past!_

We find an allusion to the Misva of Shofar in Parashat Nisavim, where the Torah warns, "Pen Yesh Bachem Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" – "Lest there is among you a root of evil of rebellion" (Debarim 29:17). The first letters of the phrase, "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" are "Shin," "Peh," "Resh" and "Vav" – the letters of the word "Shofar."This allusion is very significant, as it expresses the unique power and impact of the Shofar blowing – namely, its ability to eliminate the "root" of evil within us. Before Adam's sin in Gan Eden, evil was separate from good; the human being was pure and good, and evil existed outside of him. But as a result of Adam's partaking from the forbidden tree, evil became ingrained within him, and since then, the good and evil inside us struggle with one another. The Shofar blowing, however, has the power to subdue the force of evil inside of us, so we can once again become perfectly good and pure. It eliminates the "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'lana'a" – the "root of evil and rebellion" from which sin grows. This power of the Shofar sound is expressed in the number of sounds that we blow. The primary obligation of Shofar blowing requires blowing thirty sounds, which we do before Musaf. We blow additional sounds during Musaf, but the primary obligation is fulfilled through the first thirty sounds. The reason for the thirty sounds is because the Torah mentions three times the obligation to sound a "Teru'a," and the Sages inferred from the text that every Teru'a must be preceded and followed by a Teki'a. Therefore, in principle, we should blow nine Shofar sounds – blowing three times a series of Teki'a, Teru'a, and another Teki'a. However, the Talmud records three different opinions as to what the Torah means by the word "Teru'a." One view maintains that this refers to what we call a Teru'a – a series of very short sounds – whereas another opinion is that it means a Shebarim – three medium-sized sounds. According to the third view, the Biblical term Teru'a refers to a combination of a Shebarim and Teru'a ("Shebarim-Teru'a"). In order to satisfy all three opinions, we blow all three Teru'a sounds. It thus emerges that we blow thirty sounds: three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teru'a-Teki'a (3X4=12); three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teki'a (3X3=9); and three sets of Teki'a- Teru'a-Teki'a (3X3=9) – for a total of 30 (12+9+9).The Gemara establishes that the Teru'a sound – however it is defined – must be at least the length of nine "Trumitin" – brief sounds. Moreover, the Teki'a must be the same length as the Teru'a. As such, when we blow thirty Shofar sounds, we blow 270 Trumitin (30X9). This number is the Gematria (numerical value) of the word "Ra" – "evil." By blowing these 270 sounds, we subdue the forces of "Ra" within us so our innate goodness can prevail.Of course, our primary intention when we hear the Shofar is to fulfill the Torah obligation to hear the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah. However, we should be aware of the fact that there are many profound ideas and powers associated with this previous Misva, and that it gives us the spiritual strength that we need to subjugate our evil inclination and allow the goodness within us to shine.

This week we have a full house with everybody back for the first time in a while.

Several Poskim, including the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) and the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), mention that one should not read Tanach, including Tehillim, after Set Ha'kochavim (nightfall) on weeknights. On the night of Shabbat and Yom Tob, it is permissible to read Tanach.There is some discussion among the Poskim concerning the status of Thursday night in this regard. The Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572) mentioned a custom to read twenty-six Pesukim on Thursday nights, as written in the Hok Le'Yisrael text, and therefore some Poskim claim that once one is permitted to read these twenty-six verses, all reading of Tanach is permitted. Indeed, the Hesed La'alafim (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1786-1827) indicates that Thursday night is treated like Friday night in this respect. Therefore, those who wish to read Tehillim on Thursday night have a basis on which to rely. This is the ruling of the Ner Le'siyon.Several Poskim observed that there was a custom to permit reading Tanach even on weeknights after Hasot (midnight as defined by Halacha). A number of major Poskim, including Rav Shalom Sharabi (1720-1777) and the Hida, questioned this practice, but the Ben Ish Hai writes that although it is preferable to study Torah She'be'al Peh after Hasot, the custom to allow reading Tanach has become widespread, and thus one may rely on this practice and read Tehillim after Hasot.The Poskim also discuss the question of whether Tanach may be read on Mosa'eh Shabbat. The accepted Halacha is that since the sanctity of Shabbat extends until Hasot, one may read Tanach on Mosa'eh Shabbat until Hasot, and after Hasot there is in any event a custom to permit reading Tanach, as discussed. Hence, one may read Tehillim on Mosa'eh Shabbat. It thus turns out that this Halacha applies only to the four nights from Sunday night through Wednesday night.Rosh Hodesh is no different from an ordinary weekday in this regard, and thus one should not read Tehillim on the night of Rosh Hodesh. We nevertheless recite the chapter of Borchi Nafshi at Arbit on the night of Rosh Hodesh, because once it was instituted as part of the prayer service, it may be recited, just as we recite Shir La'maalot Esa Enai every night at Arbit. Outside the framework of the formal prayer service, however, one should not read Tehillim on the night of Rosh Hodesh.It must be emphasized that on the nights when Tehillim should not be read, it is counterproductive to do so. Often, text messages go out asking people to read Tehillim on behalf of an ill patient, and sometimes these messages are received at night. One should not read Tehillim before Hasot on the nights when it is improper to read Tanach.The exception to this rule is somebody who is not capable of studying anything else besides Tanach. For such a person, it is certainly preferable to read Tehillim than to just waste time. Some Halachic authorities draw proof to this conclusion from the Gemara's comment that when one returns home in the evening, "Im Ragil Li'krot Koreh Im Ragil Li'shnot Shoneh" – which means that if he is accustomed to reading Tanach he should read Tanach, and if he is accustomed to study Talmud he should study Talmud. The Gemara clearly allows learning Tanach at night if one is only accustomed reading Tanach, and is incapable of studying other material. Otherwise, however, one should ensure not to read Tanach on those nights when it is improper to do so.Summary: It is improper to read Tehillim from nightfall until Hasot on Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night or Wednesday night, except on Yom Tob. Only one who is incapable of studying other material, and would thus otherwise waste time, may read Tehillim during these times. Even after Hasot, it is preferable to study Torah She'ba'al Peh than to read Tanach.

In this shiur we develop how the end of the era of prophecy- when Hashemrevealed Himself to us, the era Torah Sheba'l Peh- our own creative endeavor, flourishes.In this role we become equal partners in His work.

This week during Recess Duty we talk with Mihai Catrinar.

Premium Sponsor Thank you to a premium sponsor, TNG Coaching! TNG Coaching's vision is to teach values through activity and experience. To guide creativity, instill confidence, champion self-worth, and celebrate identity. This journey begins by reflecting on our own performance. By collecting our thoughts and feelings on paper, both positive and negative, we begin to discern ways to respond to challenges. Opening a personal dialogue and sharing concerns has been proven to create deeper bonds with peers. Journaling how these relationships evolve can help assign roles and build the support structure every team needs to function effectively. When complete, your journal will stand as a lasting reminder of your commitment to your cause and your ambitions for personal and professional growth. You can find the Coach's Journal on Amazon through the link, or go to TNG.coach for more information. Be sure to connect with Mihai Catrinar here!
