Yahrtzeit Yomi #1439!!טז ניסןHaman HaRashaויתלו את המן על העץ אשר הכין למרדכי וחמת המלך שככה(אסתר ז:י)ובאבד רשעים רנה(משלי יא:י)----------------------------------------------------Special thanks to my 7-year-old nephew Momo who reminded us that Haman was hanged on the 2nd day of Pesach!!----------------------------------------------------A Gutten Moed Rabboisai!!Although the Yahrtzeit Yomi broadcast is generally dedicated to the commemoration of our great tzaddikim and leaders, in tonight's feature we mark the Yahrtzeit of one of history's worst (if not THE worst) Reshaiim:המן הרשע!! - whose yahrtzeit is marked (celebrated!) on the second day of pesach, טז ניסן.I used the occasion to discuss the fascinating sugya regarding our attitude towards the punishment of the wicked. It's really a “Pesach Sugya”, as it relates to our reaction to the neis of Kriyas Yam Suf as well.I strongly encourage everyone to listen to the audio posted above.Additionally, here are some vintage “Q&A” from Rav Avigdor Miller ZTL, who addresses the issue clearly and eloquently as only he could.It's so clear and illuminating!! Its my favorite Rav Miller Q&A that exists!!(Try to read it if you can, at least a little. If not, you could peruse it after Yom Tov as well.)חג כשר ושמח!!----------------------------------------------------Rav Avigdor On Half-Hallel on PesachBelow are the Q&A's about “Half-Hallel” as heard from Rav Miller ZTL, as well as the editor's note attached at the end.(Note that we have transcribed a few Q&A's on the same topic. Although it is quite lengthy, we felt it was appropriate because each one adds a little more insight.)Q: On the last days of Pesach we say only half-Hallel. Isn't that because of מעשה ידי טובעים בים ואתם אומרים שירה (Megillah 10b)? Aren't we sad that Egyptians were drowned and we therefore don't want to sing to Hashem? A: The answer is no, it's not because of this; it's not because of מעשה ידי טובעים בים. There is no gemara that says that this is the reason for not saying Hallel on Pesach. I know that it's frequently quoted and people think it's a gemara, but there is no gemara to that effect. And even if you show me a medrash that says it, you're misinterpreting the medrash.The reason why we say only half-Hallel is because there was a takanah that on the first day of Pesach – for us the first two days – that we have to say Hallel. There is no reason, no takanah, to say Hallel on the other days. The other days it was only a minhag to say Hallel. And therefore, because there was no takanah, they couldn't say the whole Hallel, so they said half-Hallel. Half-Hallel is only a minhag – the takanah was only the first day.Now, on Sukkos the takanah was to say Hallel every day, because on Sukkos every day there was a different korban tzibur brought in the Beis Hamikdash. Because every day was something new and special, like its own Yom Tov, so each day was also made special with the whole Hallel. Pesach, however, has the same korban every day and that's the difference...

When the Jews of Tunis go to the Arab market erev Sukkos to buy haddasim for schach, they are shocked to find that the price has been increased from three coins to thirty coins. Soon Abdullah, the leader of the merchants, is shocked as Rabbi Yeshua Bosis buys a bundle of haddasim and then asks Hashem for a miracle.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What energy do we draw from these days between Yud Tes Kislev and Chanukah? What do these holidays have in common? Why don't we study Torah on nittel eve? How can refraining from Torah study have a positive impact? How can a negative turn into a positive? Why is there a custom to play chess at this time? What connection does it have with Chanukah? Why aren't we obligated to read Megilas Antiochus on Chanukah, as we are about reading Megilas Esther on Purim? Why is it called Megilas Antiochus? How does Chassidus explain the lessons of Chanukah? Why do we mark this holiday by lighting candles and not by commemorating the victory in the war with our enemies? Since the Chanukah menorah represents the rededication of the Temple Menorah, why is it different in so many ways (eight instead of seven candles, kindled in the evening and not the morning, at the door facing outside, not inside the home, lit by every Jew not just the High Priest)? What does the number eight represent? How does it differ from eleven? What can we learn from Shammai's opinion to begin lighting all eight candles on the first night? Why did the High Priest light the Temple menorah? Who are the seven shepherds and what is their connection to the seven branches of the menorah? Do we add an eighth shepherd to correspond to the eight branches of the Chanukah menorah? What is the connection between the eight days of this holiday and the eight days of Sukkos, with Zos Chanukah corresponding to Shemini Atzeres? Why did the Rebbe wash and farbreng on Zos Chanukah 5738? Is giving gifts on Chanukah and displaying blow-up Chanukah decorations appropriate? Help me resolve a disagreement with my spouse: Can I give my children a Chanukah gift before the actual holiday? Another disagreement: Is snow a blessing or a nuisance? What are the lessons from emphasizing the victory of light over darkness? What is the connection with Syria? Should we be praising G-d for the fall of Assad in Syria and other victories over our enemies? Is this part of the geulah process? Is there a prophecy that all our enemies will fall before the redemption? Nittel Chassidus Applied to Chanukah What does Chanukah teach us about today's war?
1) At Birkas Kohanim, does the Chazan answer Omein to the blessings of the Kohanim?[1] 2) I wish to dismantle my Sukkah towards the end of Sukkos (because the weather forecast predicts strong winds). Is that permitted?[2] 3) My front door opens to a porch that has walls on either side but is totally open to the street. May I carry there on Shabbos?[3] 4) On Shabbos we don't take medicine for a minor condition. What about Yomtov[4]; 2nd day Yomtov; 2nd day of Rosh haShono?[5] 5) There was no Kohen in Shul. A Kohen was called from another building. But by the time he arrived, Musaf-repetition was over. Any chance of a stand-alone blessing then?[6] 6) Why do Chabad Taleisim have an extra hole on each corner?[7] 7) Why is the neck-hole of Chabad Taleisim-Ketanim round, whilst many others have it T-shaped?[8] 8) On Friday the 2nd day of Succos, I placed the cholent in the crock-pot just before Shabbos. I now realise that I shouldn't have done so. Do I need to kasher the pot?[9] 9) One who forgot ותן טל ומטר in Mincha on Friday, should he repeat Amida of Maariv?[10] 10) Feedback on: lighting candles where you're not eating; ומנחתם for Shabbos. [1] במשנה (ברכות פ"ה מ"ד) איתא שלא יענה מפני הטירוף. יש מפרשים שלא ידע איזו ברכה לומר לכהנים ויש מפרשים שלא ידע לחזור ל'שים שלום'. ולמעשה נוהגים שהוא עונה – ראה שוע"ר סי' קכח ס"ל. [2] במשנה (סוכה פ"ד מ"ח) איתא שלא יתיר סוכתו אע"פ שגמר לאכול בשביעי. הובא בשו"ע או"ח סי' תרסו ס"א. בס' 'בסוד לוי יצחק' (ע' 253) מובא הרמז בזה שהתורה מתחלת ומסתיימת באותיות ב' ל' – רמז ל"בל תגרע" ו"בל תוסיף". האותיות הסמוכות הן: 'אך' ו'גם' – מיעוט ותוספת. ובס' הנ"ל מצביע על הלכתא דידן, שאין לפרק הסוכה לפני סוף יום ז' [בל תגרע], ואילו הבא לשבת בסוכה ביום ח' צריך לפרק ד' על ד' טפחים מהסכך – שלא ייראה כמוסיף! אך למעשה רבו המקילים בזה לצורך – ראה פסקי תשובות סי' תרלח אות ג; נטעי גבריאל פ"ל ס"ח. [3] ראה שוע"ר סי' שסא ס"ה. [4] מטעם "שמא ישחוק סממנים", וזה שייך גם ביו"ט, כי התרופות אינן "שוות לכל נפש" [שו"ר בס' יו"ט כהלכתו פ"ד הע' 21 שיש מחלוקת הראשונים בזה. ולמקילים צ"ל דלא פלוג]. [5] ראה שוע"ר סי' תצו סעיפים ד' וה'. [6] אע"פ שהכהן "עקר רגליו בעבודה", אבל גם צריך שיגיע לדוכן לפני סיום 'מודים' (שוע"ר סי' קכח סי"ב). [7] סדור אדה"ז הלכות ציצית [ע' תריא]. וראה שו"ע או"ח סי' יא סט"ו ובמשנ"ב שם ס"ק עג. [8] סדור אדה"ז שם [ע' תרי]. [9] ראה פסקי תשובות (סי' תקכז הע' 33) בשם שו"ת מגדנות אליהו (ח"ג סי' קיח) שיש לסמוך על הסברא הפוטרת את המבשל בשבת סמוך לחשיכה כשהמאכל נגמר משחשיכה. לבד מזה: בשוע"ר סי' תקג סי"ג שלא קנסו על מעשה יו"ט [במזיד!] בכה"ג.

Embark on a transformative journey as we embrace the spiritual richness of the Masechta of Sukkah. Uncover the profound teachings of the Vilna Gaon, highlighting the unique mitzvahs that touch every aspect of our being, especially the sacred act of dwelling in a sukkah. This episode promises to illuminate the deep-seated faith experienced during Sukkos as we temporarily step away from the comforts of the material world to dwell under divine care. We'll navigate the laws of sukkah construction and the obligations of living within it while unraveling the spiritual significance of the four species and why the beauty of the lulav and etrog is vital. Through engaging discussions and rabbinical debates, we reflect on how these ancient practices help us remember and connect to the times of the Temple.Our conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we express sincere gratitude to those who have been pillars in our spiritual journey. I share personal reflections on my parents' inspiring path as Balei Teshuva and the profound influence of my other set of parents, whose devotion to Torah Judaism shines brightly. Acknowledging the divine energy that has propelled my studies, I celebrate my missis, a woman of valor whose steadfast support has been my anchor. We honor the legacy of my regal grandmother, whose faith and resilience continue to inspire despite life's challenges. The episode concludes with reflections on the completion of the Hadrons study, offering insights into the thoughtful choices made in language and research, providing a poignant and fulfilling conclusion to our enlightening exploration.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

The Sukkos Perspective: The Willow Jew The Sukkos Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.

Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com We are about to celebrate Sukkos, the holiday of immense joy and happiness. The central theme of the holiday can be found in the davening, "Zman Simchaseinu—the time of our happiness." This happiness stems from the miraculous Clouds of Glory that protected the Jewish nation during their forty years in the desert. We find out about the different Arba Minim and what they represent. We learn the truth about the willow twig.
Between Simchas Beis Hashoeva and the mitzvah to visit one's Rebbi over Sukkos, there seems to be a special focus on seeing the faces of tzadikim over this Yom Tov. The Mashgiach explains why.
So, there is a Halacha to be able to see the stars in the Sukkah. In this episode, we highlight 10 possible reasons why this is.

A mere five days after Yom Kippur comes the seven-day (truthfully nine when you tally everything) Festival of Sukkos (appendaged by Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah).

The Jewish holidays are not evenly spaced out. They appear in bunches. A mere five days after Yom Kippur comes the seven-day (truthfully nine when you tally everything) Festival of Sukkos (appendaged by Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah). The next Festival (excluding the Rabbinic holidays of Chanukah and Purim) does not occur for six months. What is the connection between Sukkos and the days that precede it? What is the profound message at the heart of this Festival? Why is it the only Festival that is commemorated at a different calendar date than the events it is recalling? In this special Sukkos podcast we explore a powerful and deep element of these days. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This special Sukkos Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui nishmas Gershon Ben Charles, whose Yahrzeit is today.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to this time of year Why are these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos so powerful? What is the lesson from these days? Why is the day after Yom Kippur called “G-d's Name”? What is the proper way to greet people during these days? What is the significance of new year and holiday blessings? How do our blessings and best wishes help? Can we bless others with the priestly blessing even if we are not kohanim? Though I am a simple person, can I bless others? Is it appropriate to bless people with “may you always have good news to share”? Post Yom Kippur If everyone was forgiven on Yom Kippur, why are some people being punished and suffering? Why do we sound the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur? What's the difference between a regular shofar and the “great shofar” that will be sounded when Moshiach comes? Is there a connection between the call of the “great shofar” and Yom Kippur's impact on all Jews to do teshuva? Why do we sing Napoleons March at the end of Yom Kippur and not at the beginning? Why Napoleon's March when the Alter Rebbe was so opposed to him? Why is Yom Kippur exclusively a day of repentance when a person should be repenting every day? To what extent can Yom Kippur help a person who hasn't repented all year? Why did G-d send Jonah to a non-Jewish city and encourage them to repent? How can Sukkos help us in this time of war in Israel? What is the essential message of Sukkos? How does the Sukkah help us internalize the light of Yom Kippur? Why is Sukkos a time of great celebration? What is the difference between Sukkah and the four species? Are the four species spiritual weapons? How can we maximize the blessings of the Sukkah considering that it is the only mitzvah that encompasses our entire bodies? If the sechach represents the clouds of glory that protected us in the wilderness, why didn't it provide protection on October 7th? Why was pouring water during Simchas Beis HaShoeivah considered such a joyous event? How did the Rebbe revitalize this celebration? And why in the streets? War in Israel What more can we do? Is it appropriate to invoke in a note to the Rebbe the merit of his mother to have the hostages released? What is the background behind the Poalei Tzedek group, established in the town of Lubavitch, who would wake up early every morning to say Tehillim and learn Torah together, and should we recreate that today?

About ten years ago, the Pew Research Center found that around 85-90% of the global population believes in a deity. At first, this seems promising. But when you dig deeper and ask people to define the god they believe in, you often find that their conception is of a god that doesn't truly exist. Disturbingly, many Jews share this misconception. In this episode, we explore the significance of the upcoming holiday of Sukkos and how it helps us understand the true nature of our Creator.Join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community by clicking the following link.Sign up Link for Shema Podcast for Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community ★ Support this podcast ★

Sukkos is the synthesis of the things we committed to work on during the Yamim Noraim and how the Ushpizin help us to accomplish them.
Lecturer and author Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein is the featured guest on this encore episode of “613 Books” Podcast, discussing some of the key concepts he writes about in his new book, “Sukkos: A Symphony of Joy.” Rabbi Bernstein clarifies what exactly we are celebrating in this zeman simchaseinu. And if you are puzzled by the Hoshanos service or Simchas Beis Hasho'eva, Rabbi Bernstein clarifies these elements of the Festival for us. He also notably connects the Sukkos theme of Divine protection to the tranquility we all can tap into that our Creator is the Source of all things and events, so we need not pressure ourselves to steer everything in our lives on the course we're inclined to go. With tranquility we can choose to remember that “the same Divine Providence and Divine Supervision that is so much the focus on Sukkos is really something that continues to guide us throughout the year but then allows us to be tranquil.” Subscribe to “613 Books” Podcast and discover new books every week! ========================= Show notes: This episode's featured guest: Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein Featured book: “Sukkos: A Symphony of Joy” To Purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sukkos-Symphony-Rabbi-Immanuel-Bernstein/dp/1961602083 To Purchase through Mosaica Press: https://mosaicapress.com/product/sukkos-a-symphony-of-joy/ Visit Rabbi Bernstein's website: Journeysintorah.com
