Podcasts about tu b'shvat

One branch of emunah is called emunat chachamim , believing in the veracity of the words of our Sages. At the time of the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash, the Gemara tells us that Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai met up with the Roman General Vespasian. He told him, “Peace be upon you Emperor.” Vespasian told Rabban Yochanan be Zakai that he was obligated in the death penalty because he was not the emperor; Nero was. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai then replied, “I know for a fact that you are the Emperor, because you are about to destroy our Temple, and it says in the pasuk 'והלבנון באדיר יפול – the Lebanon will fall by the mighty.' And my Rabbis have taught, the word Lebanon refers to the Beit HaMikdash and the word אדיר-mighty refers to an emperor. Only an emperor will be able to destroy the Beit HaMikdash.” Right after that conversation, a messenger came and told Vespasian the Emperor Nero committed suicide and he was appointed the new emperor instead. The Manchester Rosh Yeshiva pointed out from this story the absolute emunah that Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai had in the words of the Sages. The pasuk did not clearly say that an emperor will destroy the Beit HaMikdash. It was only through the derashot of Chazal that this interpretation came to light. Hashem ensures to plant in every generation chachamim who will lead the people in the way they need to be lead, and we also have a mitzvah to believe in our chachamim. The sefer Midrash Shemuel writes, part of believing in the words of the chachamim is believing in their advice and their guarantees. A man told me, his father ingrained in him from a young age to have emunat chachamim . In the year 2010, he was already 37 years old and still not married. His rabbi came over to him one day and said, “You need to learn Torah every single day.” He replied that he has a difficult schedule and has to rush to work. He didn’t have the time. The rabbi then said, “If you will commit to learn Torah every single day from 6:15 am sharp until 7:00, I guarantee you, you will be engaged by Tu B’Shvat.” This conversation took place in the beginning of November and Tu B’Shvat was just a few months away. The man believed in the words of his rabbi and, therefore, the next day he showed up at 6:10 and made sure to be there on time. For the next few months, he ensured to always be early to fulfill his part of the deal. The week of Tu B’Shvat, he got engaged. And he has been learning ever since. But the story didn’t end there. Baruch Hashem, a year later, he and his wife had a beautiful baby girl. But then his wife had trouble conceiving. Three years went by without a child. They went to Israel at the end of January for vacation and, while they were there, the man went to Rav Chaim Kanievsky to get a beracha to have a child. He said, “My wife has been having trouble conceiving for three years,” and he added that he really wanted a baby boy. When Rav Chaim saw him, he told him to remove the jewelry that he was wearing. At that time the man had a bracelet and a ring on that were both sentimental to him. He asked why, and then found out the Rabbi ruled that it was forbidden because it was lady-like. The man then told Rav Chaim, “I will listen to anything the Rav tells me to do, but can the Rav please give me a guarantee that I will have a baby boy?” Rav Chaim said yes. This man testified, exactly nine months and one day from that meeting, his wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He believed in the words of the chachamim , and Hashem rewarded his belief. "לא תסורו מן הדבר אשר יגידו לך ימין או שמאל" – We are not supposed to veer from the words of our Rabbis to the right or to the left. It is a mitzvah to listen to our chachamim . And like all mitzvot , Hashem will reward us for our efforts.

What did Yeshua mean when He said "the bread that I will give is my own flesh?  What did He mean when He said "if you come to Me you will never go hungry or thirsty?  What did He mean when He said unless you "drink His blood you do not have life in yourselves"?  Rabbi Jim answers these questions and more in this teaching given on January 30, 2021, the 17th day of Shvat, 5781.

Tu B'shvat in Tu B'shvat by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

A few more minutes of Mussar and inspiration on Parshas Beshalach and on Tu B'Shvat.

The Jewish calendar is replete with significance We prepare and anticipate each event - with the necessary foods, clothing and themes. But if we want to grow from each occasion we need to prepare ourselves as well - to understand a little of the depth behind each date we commemorate and learn what principles we should contemplate and how to direct our feelings in order to be uplifted and inspired ! With this focus the annual events are not just a circle which we revisit each year, but a spiral - as we return to each point of the calendar on a higher level than before.

Why is there a New Year for Trees? And what lessons can we learn from the tree?

In another short(ish) holiday episode, Talia & Yaakov work through the utility of Tu B'Shvat as not just a New Year For Trees, but as an opportunity for engaging in theory and practice aimed at mass work with the food-insecure, solidarity work with indigenous Land and Water Protectors, and in particular solidarity work with Palestinians whose land continues to be destroyed by Zionist settlers. Along the way they discuss the pernicious role of the Jewish National Fund in transforming Tu B'Shvat from a kabbalistic seder to a philanthropic arm of the Zionist project, the hypocrisy of liberal ecology and the shortcomings of treating Tu B'Shvat as a Jewish Earth Day, the Halakhic roots of the holiday in regard to food distribution and modern food regulation, and an approach to the Lurianic Tu B'Shvat Seder as a way to engage in Tikkun Olam not just in the mystical sense but in doing concrete Tikkun in the material world.

Why is Tu B’shvat the New Year for trees? What does this mean for us as human beings? In which ways are the human and the tree similar? What are our fruits of holiness that are equivalent to the fruit given to us by the tree? These and other questions are addressed by Rabbi Baruch Shalom Ashlag in a remarkable letter he wrote to his students on Tu B'shvat 1957.

B”H Parashat Bo: Cuando tus hijos te pregunten… Este episodio está basado en la Parashá de esta semana, Bo.

At bedtime recently, my six year old daughter asked me, "Daddy, who are our ancestors?"  It was not one of those profound-sounding questions that really isn't:  rather, it was a thoughtful and sincere query after watching a show about a Latina girl learning about her ancestors.  "Who are ours?" she needed to know.  In this Tu B'Shvat presentation, I show how i connect to our ancestors by going back through the Seven Species of the Land of Israel, presented in the Temple, which go back further to the lives of our shepherd ancestor Hebrews (patriarchs and matriarchs), and then even farther back to the ancestral memories of the first few chapters of Genesis, of the gatherer humans of 3000 BCE to 9000 BCE in the Tigris-Euphrates region with their figs, grapes, and olives.  Our ancestors evolved, living in harmony with Creation, by living off of the bounty of trees.  And we should, too.

Minhagim: Episode 10, Tu B'Shvat 1 by Rabbi Michael Dolgin

Yesterday was the last day in the Hebrew month of Shvat, in which the holiday of Tu B'Shvat - the Jewish new year for trees - is celebrated. So today, host Marcela Sulak reads an excerpt from Ruth Almog’s story, “After Arbor Day,” which is set during Tu B'Shvat. "I saw boys and girls all over the mountainside with spades in their hands, planting saplings in basins of loose soil. When I planted my own little sapling and tightened the soil around it, black earth stuck to my fingers. “Will my sapling live?” I asked myself. An inexplicable dread suddenly took hold of me." Ruth Almog was born in 1936 in Petah Tikva, Mandate Palestine, to parents who immigrated from Hamburg in 1933. She has been deputy editor of the literary section of the daily Haaretz, and writer-in-residence at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is married to the poet Aaron Almog, who will be featured on next week’s podcast. Texts:Ruth Almog, “After Arbor Day,” translated by Dalya Bilu. 50 Stories from Israel: An Anthology. Ed.
