One of the pillars upon which this world stands is Gemilut Chasadim.Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Friedman, author of the Noam Siach , related that he was in Israel this past Yom Kippur. He went to Viznitz for Kol Nidre , and as is known, they start a half hour before everybody else. He was so busy on the phone helping people back in America that he arrived almost at the end of Kol Nidre . He was so disappointed, especially since one of the highlights of his tefillot on Yom Kippur is saying the Or Zarua LaTzadik , which he had already missed. This was a very bad start to a most important day. A little later, during a break, the rabbi noticed the Be'er HaParasha bulletin on the table in front of him, written by Rabbi Elimelech Biderman. He opened it randomly to a page and started reading. There, it said that a chasid of Rav Shlomka of Zvil was at the bedside of a sick friend the entire day of Rosh Hashana. He had missed all of the tefillot and only managed to get to shul for the Tekiat Shofar .When the Rebbe saw him, he said to those around him, "This man is a ben Olam Haba ," because Gemilut Chasadim is such a powerful mitzvah, and that's what he was involved in. Rabbi Friedman felt like Hashem was talking directly to him. Here he felt so bad that he was late for shul on Yom Kippur, but it was because he was involved in Gemilut Chasadim , and Hashem showed him how valuable that was. People who dedicate themselves to helping others see so much siyata dishmaya when helping people. A man who started an organization called the "Mitzva Man" told me that every year they get 5,000 toys donated and give them out to children in hospitals for Chanukah. One year, after the distribution was already made, they received an additional 5,000 toys from generous sponsors who wanted to be a part of the mitzva. Being that they had already distributed to all the children they knew, and it was just two days before Chanukah, they didn't know what they were going to do with all the extra toys. So the Mitzva Man did what he always does. He turned to Hashem and said, "Please help me, Hashem, find the right place to give these toys to." A few hours later, he received a call from an organization in Lakewood saying they saw a picture of the Mitzva Man and his staff in a magazine distributing toys for Chanukah. They said they give out toys every year as well, but this particular year they didn't have funding for it. The man on the line asked if perhaps the Mitzva Man had any extra toys he could give them. The Mitzva Man asked, "How many toys do you usually distribute?" The person on the other line said, "About 5,000." "That's amazing," the Mitzva Man replied. "I have 5,000 extra toys ready for pickup right now." This conversation took place at 10 o'clock at night. The organization from Lakewood happened to have a huge truck of theirs in Brooklyn, where the Mitzva Man was located at that time, ready to head back to Lakewood. The truck, the man said, is rarely in Brooklyn, but because Hashem knew it was going to be used to transport these toys, He sent it there that day. Five minutes after that phone call, the truck was already by the location, ready to have the toys loaded on. Gemilut Chasadim is such a precious mitzva. There are so many selfless individuals, giving up their own time to help others every single day. The Mitzva Man told me he received a phone call from a woman asking if he could find a ride for her and her two sons to visit her husband, who was in a rehabilitation center very far away. He would be there for maybe almost a year, and it was a three-hour drive to get there, and she couldn't drive, which meant if she couldn't find a ride, neither she nor her children would be able to see their father and husband. The Mitzva Man knew finding someone to drive for seven hours, dedicating an entire day to doing this would be very difficult. It would be three hours each way and one hour of visiting time. He put out a message with the request, and at first, there was no response. But then a gentleman responded that he takes a minivan to that rehab center at least once a week, bringing family members to visit their relatives. He said it was because he himself had been in that center, and he rarely got visitors, and he understood how hard it is not to have visitors. So he vowed that when he left that place, he was going to drive people every single week to make visits. With the right motivation, everyone can get more involved in Gemilut Chasadim .

In this episode of the podcast, attorney Tamir Dortal hosts Rabbi Manis Friedman and Dr. Elad Ben Elul for a fascinating discussion about their latest books and central issues in Judaism and modern society.

He emphasizes the importance of balancing powers and the role of rabbis as spiritual leaders. Dr. Ben Elul shares about his book "Back to Innocence," which deals with gender roles, gender identity, and romantic relationships according to Judaism. He explains how modern culture has created confusion and misconceptions about masculinity and femininity, and suggests ways to return to the true essence of Jewish relationships. Rabbi Friedman adds that in the current era, many people suffer from loneliness and fear of commitment due to a lack of understanding of the essence of relationships. The two also discuss phenomena such as decreased sexual desire and increased consumption of pornography, explaining that sex without intimacy and meaning is neither satisfying nor healthy. They emphasize the importance of emotional and spiritual connection between partners and the profound meaning of marriage. Finally, they address the issue of birthrates and explain why in many Western cultures, people fear parenthood, while in a healthy traditional society, parenthood is perceived as a mission and self-fulfillment. The episode raises important questions about identity, relationships, and purpose in life, offering a unique Jewish perspective on the challenges of the modern world.Rabbi Manis is currently in Israel, delivering lectures, lessons, and workshops.

In this week's parasha , Va'era , we read about the makot that Hashem sent upon the Mitzrim and Mitzrayim . One of the reasons Hashem brought so many makot , rather than just wiping out the Mitzrim in an instant, was to teach us about how much control He has over the world. He is involved in the finest details of every person's life. Things that may seem insignificant, Hashem has already been planning and setting up days before we even think about them. The Admor of Lelov had a minhag , on the night of Tisha B'Av, to go look at the place where the Bet HaMikdash used to be and try to feel the loss. One year, he went with his son to Yeshivat Bet Avraham of Slonim, because at that time you were able to see the makom of the Mikdash from the Yeshivah's roof. By the time they got there, it was very late at night and all the boys in the Yeshivah were already sleeping. There was a man in the hallway of the dormitory and they asked him if he knew who had the keys to the roof. He said he wasn't exactly sure and he wasn't going to wake up the entire Yeshivah to find out either. Just at that moment, one of the dorm room doors opened and a boy walked out. They asked this boy if he perhaps knew who had the key to the roof. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the key. He said, the boy who normally takes care of the key was not in the Yeshivah that night. Just the other day, he was unloading his pockets because they became so heavy upon him with so many things that he put in them. “I was standing next to him and he asked me if I could take his key ring for a couple of days. Tonight I couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to get dressed and walk around a little.” With that, the Rabbi and his son were able to go to the roof. Look at what Hashem did to enable this Rabbi to continue his minhag of looking at the place of the Bet HaMikdash on Tisha B'Av. He prepared the keys from days before and put them in the hands of the boy whose room they would be right next to. And then made sure this boy would get up and go out to see them when they arrived. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Friedman, the author of the popular weekly gilyon Noam Siach , told me he went, around Yom Kippur time this year, to get a beracha from the Vizhnitzer Rebbe in Yerushalayim for a good year. When he arrived, he gave the Rebbe a copy of the latest gilyon that he just printed for Shabbat Shuvah. The Rebbe thanked him and asked him if he had a copy of the special Peninim Yikarim edition that he prints once a year. He told the Rebbe he recently printed it, but he only brought a limited amount to distribute in Eretz Yisrael and he had none left. Knowing the Rebbe was planning a trip to America, he told him he would be sure to drop one off when he came. The Rebbe said it would have been so nice to have one to read on the plane to America. When Rabbi Friedman left the Rebbe's office, there were a few people in the waiting room waiting to get in. One of them caught his eye. It was an elderly man reading the Peninim Yikarim edition of that year. Apparently this man printed it out for himself. The Rabbi went over to him and when the man noticed him his eyes lit up. He said, are you Rabbi Friedman? The Rabbi said yes. The elderly man told him he prints out every edition that he writes the moment it comes out. The Rabbi then asked him if he would part with his copy of the Peninim Yikarim to give to the Rebbe of Vizhnitz. “Of course,” the man replied. He then said he actually spoke to the Rebbe the day before but then he remembered he forgot to tell him one detail. He wasn't going to come back for it, but for some reason, at the last second, he changed his mind and came. Now, he said, he knows why he came. He was a piece of a larger picture with Hashem guiding him to give the Rebbe what he wanted to read on his plane ride to America. Even the smallest details of our lives are carefully planned and orchestrated by Hashem. Shabbat Shalom.
