The 7th of Adar (which this year will be March 7th 2025) marks the Yartzheit of Moshe Rabbenu, and there is a custom among many to observe a fast on this day. The custom to fast on 7 Adar is mentioned already by Maran in the Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 580:2). The rationale behind this custom is the fact that it is customary to fast on the Yartzheit of one's primary Rabbi, as the Mishna Berura (Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, 1839-1933) cites (in 568:46) from the Shela (Rabbi Yeshayahu Horowitz, 1558-1630). The Mishna Berura explains that one is obligated to honor his Rav Mubhak (primary Rabbi) even more so than his parent, and thus just as it is customary to fast on a parent's Yartzheit, it is appropriate to fast on the Yartzheit of one's Rabbi, as well. Moshe Rabbenu is, without question, the Rav Mubhak of the entire Jewish people, and it is therefore appropriate to observe a fast on his Yartzheit, 7 Adar. It goes without saying that merely refraining from food and drink is not as important as praying and studying Torah, which are the primary means of Teshuba. Therefore, it is proper on 7 Adar for communities to assemble for Torah classes in observance of this special day. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in the introduction to his Tikkun (service) for 7 Adar, writes that it is also customary to light candles in memory of Moshe Rabbenu on this day. There is a special custom for the Hevra Kadisha (benevolent society) of every community to observe 7 Adar together as a Ta'anit Sibur (communal fast day). They recite Selihot, wear Tefillin at Minha, and conduct the standard Ta'anit Sibur prayer service. Then, after the fast, they have a meal together. The Hevra Kadisha members observe this fast as atonement in case they were neglectful in their sacred duty to give proper respect to the deceased. The Yartzheit of Moshe Rabbenu was chosen as the appropriate occasion for this observance because his burial site remains unknown ("Ve'lo Yada Ish Et Keburato" – Debarim 34:6). Although the fast of 7 Adar is mentioned in the Shulhan Aruch, it is nevertheless preferable to declare a formal acceptance of the fast the previous day, just as is done before a voluntary private fast. If one makes a formal acceptance the day before the fast, he can then add the paragraph of "Anenu" in the Amida on the fast day. The acceptance should be declared on the afternoon of the day before the fast, at the end of the Amida of Minha, just before "Oseh Shalom." The Mishna Berura (562:27) writes that this should preferably be done at Minha Ketana – meaning, during Minha recited in the late afternoon, as opposed to early Minha (Minha Gedola). Certainly, the acceptance should not be made before Minha, and if it is made before Minha, it is ineffective. The proper text of the acceptance, as printed in many Siddurim, based upon the Hid"a (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807) in his work Moreh Be'esba (3:186), is, "Hareni Mekabel Alai Ta'anit Yahid Me'alot Ha'shahar Ad Set Ha'kochavim" – "I hereby accept upon myself a private fast from daybreak until nightfall." It is important that one accept the fast of 7 Adar as a private fast (Ta'anit Yahid), and not a communal fast (Ta'anit Sibur). The acceptance is valid even if it was made silently, in one's mind (Shulhan Aruch, Orah Haim 562:6). One should not add the words "Beli Neder" or "Beli Kabala," because he indeed intends to formally accept the fast upon himself. However, one may add a stipulation that he accepts the fast only on condition that he has the physical strength to observe the fast, and that if he feels unable to complete the fast, he will recite the chapter of Tehillim "Mizmor Le'David Hashem Ro'i" and will then be allowed to eat. If one did not make the acceptance during Minha, he may still accept the fast until sundown, and even after sundown, during the period of Ben Ha'shemashot. If one knows that observing a fast will adversely affect the quality of his prayers, or hamper his ability to study Torah properly, then it is preferable not to fast so that he could pray and study to the best of his ability. Similarly, it is improper to fast if this would cause one to feel arrogant and superior to other people. Humility and proper study and prayer are for more valuable than fifty fast days. Therefore, if observing this fast will have an adverse effect on these or other areas of Torah observance, it is far preferable not to observe the fast. Certainly, though, 7 Adar is a very significant day that should be commemorated as such in all communities.

Welcome to Perek Shira. Today is the song of the Nachash/ snake The Nachash says, Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim. God helps stand up those that fall, Zokef l'chol Hak'fufim/ He makes stand upright all those that are bent over. What does this have to do with the snake? It depends how you look at it. Either the snake is singing about himself, or he's sending the message to others. Let's look at the snake . The snake was upright, but he ended up not only bent over, but completely lat on the floor after his legs were taken away. So he's the one that fell down. Although he fell down, he accepts upon himself the judgment. The Beit Elohim says that the snake accepted that sinned, and that was what was supposed to happen. So even though, Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim/God lifts up all those that fall down, and Hashem is Middat HaRachamim , the snake says, Somehow I was not included I that. I am not getting up.I'm not being fixed. I accept that I did something wrong. The Chida adds that, Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim is Rasheh Tevot סילה Silah, which is a pasuk in Eicha 125. Silah l'chol abirai Hashem / Hashem has trampled all my heroes, referring to the destruction of the Bet HaMikdash. So even though we're down on the floor after the Churban, Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim, all those people that fell ( referring to the Jewish people) will get up. He quotes the sefer Lechem Teruma, that the word נחש Nachash is made of three letters, Nun , Chet , Shin . The נ Nun, has the numeric value of 50, which can be broken into 40 and 10, a מ and a י . If we take the Nun of Nachash and turn it into a מ and a י , we're left with מנחש which, when re-scrambled, spell משיח Mashiach; So even though the Jewish people fell down on the floor, the Nachash is telling us, I might not be fixed, but everyone else will be fixed. Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim. So the force of the Nachash, that brought everybody down, will be turned into Mashiach. So eventually we will all get up. The Gemara in Berachot asks the question, Why is there no נ in Ashre? Because it hints to the falling of the Jewish people, as the pasuk says, נָפְלָה לֹא תוֹסִיף קוּם בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל״. Naflah/they fell down and they will not get up again. That's sounds like a horrible pasuk, that Jewish people fall down and never get up. But the Rabbis of the West said, Hashem picked us up, David Hamelech picked us up. Somech Hashem l'chol hanoflim. So even though the pasuk says naflah they fall down, and they won't get up anymore, you can read the pasuk differently to reflect that Dsvid Hamelech picked them up: נָפְלָה לֹא תוֹסִיף קוּם בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל״ If you fell and you can't fall anymore, Now you're going to get up. So this is the message of the snake - In the end you will all get up. I might be left behind. I'm testifying that I'm the exception to the rule. Everyone else will get up. Whoever fell down will stand up again. The sefer Misaprim Tehilot L'Hashem tells a different lesson- that even though the Gemara in Barachot 10a tells us that all creatures will be fixed in the future except for the snake, he still continues to hope. He says, If there's hope for everybody, maybe there's hope for me too. This is hard to understand, as the snake is really no good, so we're not going to learn lessons from him. Albeit, this Sefer goes on to say that the Nachash was cursed with two things: 1-He was standing straight and he's flat on the floor. 2-He's going to eat from the dust, וְנָחָ֖שׁ עָפָ֣ר לַחְמ֑וֹ (Yeshayah 65,25 with a commentary from the Bereshit Rabbah 20,5) which refers to the future. So he had two curses and he says, because the snake was hopeful even though he was cursed and there was no hope, Hashem cut the Gezera in half. In the future, he's still going to eat the dust of the earth, but he will be able to stand up. His legs will come back. He says, that's why the Gemara, in Berachot 12b, when describing how to bow gor Modim , says to go down like a stick, straight, and to get up like a snake, where your head goes up first in a serpentine way. Why the do Rabbis choose this example-to stand up like a Nachash? To teach us that even the snake, in the end, will stand up. We can suggests an explanation for these two punishments of the snake: The snake did two things wrong. The Torat Chayim says that in the Gemara in Berachot , where talks about bowing says that one that does not bow by Modim will be punished that after he is buried his spinal cord will turn into a snake. The Torat Chaim says things because the snake did not bow and that's why it ended up going down on the floor and losing his legs What does it mean that he didn't bow ? He didn't have Hakarat HaTov. He didn't appreciate and see Hashem's Hashkacha. He was a kofer . He denied Hashem's Hashkacha. That's one aspect of the snake.. The other aspect of the snake is that he spoke Lashon Hara and that is why he has put dirt in his mouth so he spoke negatively and he had an improper Hashkafa, so to say, in the belief of God's supervision in the world. And since the sin of Lashon Hara has no Tikkun and can never be fixed, it could be why that punishment remained. But the lack of Hakarat HaTov, the lack of thank yous and lack of understanding Hashem's Hashkacha is somehow easier to fix. So perhaps half of the sin was forgiven, whatever that means. I am just trying to understand this concept brought down the Sefer Misaprim Tehilot Hashem . Regardless, what does it tell us? The snake is telling us, As low as you drop and as far as you go, if I have hope, you have hope. Pick yourself up, fix yourself, and eventually the sin of the Nachash will eventually become the times of the Mashiach.

In this powerful episode, we explore the concept of Tikkun, the soul's correction, and how your biggest struggles are actually your greatest opportunities for transformation.

התוכן גאולת אדהאמ"צ קשורה עם גאולה האמיתית והשלימה עפ"י פרש"י (במגילה) "דשם גאולה עלה"‏ – ‏דכל עניני גאולה שייכים זל"ז. ובדורנו ש"כלו כל הקצין" וכבר נגמרו בשלימות כל "מעשינו ועבודתינו" וכו' הנה מיד ממש באה הגאולה. וזהו הקשר עם מ"ש בסיום פ' ויצא שיעקב עומד מוכן לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה ולכן מיד לאח"ז נאמר בתחילת פ' וישלח "וישלח יעקב מלאכים לפניו אל עשו אחיו" כי "חשב שעשו נתברר כבר" וגם הוא מוכן לגאולה [ורצה להמשיך אורות דתהו (עשו) בכלים דתקון (יעקב), ע"ד המבואר שענין הגאולה הוא שמ"ה (תקון) גואל ב"ן (תהו) וכו'], אלא שאז לא נתקיימה מחשבתו בפועל, אבל היום, שכבר עברו מאז אלפי שנים של מעשינו ועבודתינו, דבר ברור שגם "עשו" מוכן לגאולה!‏שיחת יום ה' דפ' ויצא, אור לי' כסלו ה'תש"נ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-12-2024 Synopsis The redemption of the Alter Rebbe is connected to the true and complete Redemption, as Rashi explains (in Masechta Megillah), because “it has the name redemption” – all aspects of redemption are interconnected. And in our generation, when “all the end times have passed” and all of “our deeds and our service” have already been completed, the Redemption is coming truly imminently. This is the connection to the end of Parashas Vayeitzei, where Yaakov is ready for the true and complete Redemption, which is it is immediately followed at the beginning of the next parashah with “Yaakov sending angels before him to Esav, his brother,” because “he thought that Esav had already been elevated” and that Esav, too, was ready for the Redemption. (Yaakov wanted to draw down the lights of Tohu (Esav) into the vessels of Tikkun (Yaakov), similar to how it is explained that the concept of Redemption is that Ma”h (Tikkun) redeems Ba”n (Tohu), etc.) Although it didn't come about in practice at that time, today, after thousands of years of our deeds and service, it is clear that even “Esav” is ready for the Redemption!Sichah of Thursday night, Parasha Vayeitzei, 10 Kislev 5750 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-12-2024 לזכות שלום הכהן בן פריידא שי' ליום ההולדת שלו י' כסלו - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות*לע"נ מרת נעכא רבקה ע"ה בת ר' חיים הי"ד נפ' יו"ד כסליו ה'תשס"ד. תנצב"ה. נדבת בנה ר' יצחק יעקב שי' חאריטאן

Disentangling Judaism from the Violence of Occupation “The way to manifest your sacredness is to embody sacredness – to treat all life as sacred.”– Rabbi Cat Zavis In this live SAND Community Gathering (October 2024) Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo were in discussion with Rabbi Cat Zavis, a renowned Jewsish teacher, writer, and social justice activist.

In this episode, we are joined by social ethicist Dr. Aaron Stauffer to guide us through the intersection of theology and community organizing. Aaron, a coordinator for the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion & Justice and author of Listening to the Spirit, explores the intertwining of theology, activism, and justice. Discover how faith has historically inspired activism and can energize current movements. The dialogue delves into sacred values, community organizing, and the transformation of religious and political landscapes. Topics include bipartisan politics, military spending, foreign policy, and the role of unions like the UAW. Reflect on the impact of historical social movements, the military-industrial complex, and theological perspectives on democracy and class solidarity. Learn about upcoming events like Theology Beer Camp and the concept of Solidarity Circles to build supportive networks of change-makers. This episode is a compelling blend of faith, practical efforts for social change, and community values. Aaron Stauffer is the Director of Online Learning and Associate Director of the Wendland-Cook Program at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. He earned his PhD in social ethics at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York and has organized with the Industrial Areas Foundation in San Antonio, Texas and Religions for Peace. His work has appeared in Tikkun, Sojourners, The Other Journal, Political Theology, and CrossCurrents, as well as other scholarly and popular publications. About Solidarity Circles Building Solidarity by Deep Transformation Faith leaders, clergy, & organizers today feel more isolated than ever. We are over-resourced and under-connected. We need spaces and networks to organize together. Solidarity Circles are built to meet this need. These are virtual peer-networks for faith leaders, organizers, clergy, and members of the community who realize that the solidarity economy is essential for the flourishing of life and our faith communities. Solidarity circles are one way the Wendland-Cook Program is seeking to revitalize and build the church and Christian theology in positive ways. We believe that this work is deeply connected to the mission and vocation of Christian churches. Broadly understood, the cooperative and solidarity economy are ways of addressing longstanding economic inequalities within our society, including white supremacy and gender and sex inequities. We're so excited about the work we can do together. INFO HERE Watch the conversation on YouTube _____________________ Join my Substack - Process This!
