התוכן השליחות המיוחדת לזמן זה, מתחיל מזמן מ"ת – ענין שהזמן גרמא וצו השעה – היא, שכל יהודי יקבל על עצמו "שליחות" לייסד שיעורים בתורה. ומה טוב – ששיעורי התורה יהיו בציבור. וענין זה שייך לכל אחד ואחת מישראל, אנשים ונשים, וגם אצל טף. וכ"ז באופן של כל חד וחד לפום שיעורא דילי', אבל באופן שהשיעור דהיום נעשה גדול יותר מהשיעור דאתמול, ועד"ז בשיעורים דכל יום עצמו. וע"י שהולך "מחיל אל חיל" בכל ענינים אלו, זוכים ל"ילכו מחיל אל חיל יראה אל אלקים בציון", עד לקודש הקדשים, שבו נמצא הארון עם הלוחות הראשונות והאחרונות. ומכיון שנמצאים בימי התשלומין של חה"ש, הנה גם הלוחות הראשונות הם בשלימות, ובמקום שבירת הלוחות נעשה "יש שבר במצרים" – המזון האמיתי שע"י נעשה חיבור הנשמה והגוף, החיבור של יש הנברא עם יש האמיתי, בגאולה האמיתית והשלימה וכו'.משיחת יום ב' פ' בהעלותך, י"א סיון ה'תש"נ, בעת ה"יחידות כללית" ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-06-2025 Synopsis The special shlichus for this time of year, beginning from the time of the Giving of our Torah, is for every Jew to accept upon himself the mission of establishing shiurim in Torah (especially community shiurim). This applies to men, women, and even children, and while everyone should do it in a manner appropriate to their own level, it should be done in such a way that today's shiur is greater than yesterday's, and similarly advancing from the shiur at the beginning of the day to the shiur in the middle of the day and at the end of the day. By advancing “from strength to strength” in all this, one will merit to “Go from strength to strength, to appear to Hashem in Tzion,” to the Kodesh Hakodoshim which contains the Aron with the first and second Luchos. Since we are within the days of tashlumin for Shavuos, even the first Luchos are in a state of completeness, and instead of breaking (shevirah), there will be “grain (shever) in Egypt” – the true sustenance that connects the body to the soul, the created being to the true Being, with the true and complete Redemption etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday, parashas Behaalosecha, 11 Sivan 5750 – Yechidus Klallis For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-06-2025 לזכות הינדא לאה בת חי' שרה שתחי' וויינבוים ליום ההולדת שלה ביום א' דחג השבועותלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות‏

Our guest on this week's episode is Ram Ben Tzion, the founder and CEO of Publican. Today marks the end of the De Minimus tax exemption for many imported goods. If you are not familiar with that exemption, it was designed to reduce the import paper work and tax duty collecting for low-value goods. But as a result, there were claims of abuse, unfair competition, and that the exemption allowed drug traffickers to easily import illegal drugs. So, starting today, there are new rules. Our guest shares the details and how supply chains will be affected. This week, the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) released a report  showing that freight brokers nationwide are facing some pretty staggering losses due to cargo theft and what they say are “increasingly complex fraud schemes.” We examine the most common scheme and what can be done to reduce fraud and cargo theft.This week the administration ordered that all truck drivers be proficient in understanding the English language in order to drive a truck in the United States. The new order rescinds the previous guidance issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which back in 2016 had relaxed the enforcement of existing English proficiency standards. Drivers found not to be in compliance will automatically declared "out of service." Exactly how it will be enforced and what the specifics are remain to be seen.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Yom HaAtzmaut | Psalm 126: BeShuv Hashem et Shivat Tzion, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why are we described as "like dreamers" upon the return to ציון?  Since those miraculous days of 1948, there have been several proposals to amend the National Anthem with the recitation of Psalm 126 - בשוב ה' את שיבת ציון; famously, Menachem Begin read the entire Psalm in the Rose Garden before signing the Camp David Accords in 1979. The sense of seeing ancient prophecies fulfilled in our day and before our eyes is a powerful one, and this psalm uniquely captures that feeling of הגדיל ה' לעשות עמנו. We examine the psalm, first discussing the issue of authorship and period of the composition of Tehillim and then the method used to study Biblical poetry, specifically Tehillim. Barukh Hashem, in our day, we are experiencing the רינה of the harvesters, sadly mixed with the דמעה of the sowers. Source sheet >>

התוכן מבואר בדא"ח שכהקדמה להענינים ד"ושננתם .. וקשרתם" ו"ולמדתם .. וקשרתם" שבב' פרשיות דק"ש, ענין התורה ומצוות, בא הענין ד"ואהבת את ה' אלקיך" – עבודת התפילה, ולפנ"ז – הענין ד"שמע ישראל וגו'", ענין האמונה [וזה קשור עם מה שדובר לאחרונה שלילדים קטנים יהי' סידור משלהם, שזה יביא אותם לענין התורה וצדקה שהיא כללות כל המצוות. שהקשר בין "סידור" לתורה מובן מזה שלימוד התורה (גם של ילד אם כבר שייך לזה) צ"ל רק לאחרי אמירת ברכת התורה שכתוב דוקא בסידור, ועניני התורה באים שם רק לאחרי ברכת התורה]. וזהו סדר עבודת היום וסדר העבודה במשך החיים: אמונה, עבודת התפלה, לימוד התורה וקיום המצוות. וזה גם מה שהתחלת חודש אב, זמן ד"בין המצרים", צ"ל עם ענין האמונה כדי לא להתפעל מחושך הגלות, ועבודת התפלה שעי"ז "קשורים למעלה" ולא נופלים ע"י הגלות, ואח"כ באים לענין התורה וצדקה שעי"ז יוצאים מהגלות – "ציון במשפט תפדה ושבי' בצדקה".משיחת אור ליום ועש"ק פ' ואתחנן, ט"ו באב ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2024 Synopsis Chassidus explains that the “Veshinantam…Ukeshartam” and Ukeshartem…V'limadetem” in the two paragraphs of Shema, which represent Torah and mitzvos, must be preceded by the Ve'ahavta es Hashem Elokecha, loving Hashem your G-d, which represents the service of tefillah, which in turn must be preceded by the Shema Yisrael – faith. (We've been emphasizing lately that every Jewish child should have their own siddur, which will lead them to Torah and tzedakah etc. Seemingly, how does a siddur lead to Torah study? The answer is that Torah study must be preceded by the brachah on Torah, which appears specifically in the siddur etc.) And this is the order of man's divine service every day, and in life in general: faith, then tefillah, then Torah study and mitzvos. This is also why the beginning of the month of Av requires faith, to not be deterred by the darkness of exile, and tefillah, which binds us above (so that we don't fall down), and then Torah and tzedakah which will bring us out of exile – “Tzion will be redeemed with justice and those who return to her with tzedakah.”Excerpt from sichah of Thursday night, Parashas Va'eschanan, 15 Av 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2024 לע”נ הרה"ח ר' ראובן ב"ר תנחום וזוגתו מרת רבקה בת ר' יחיאל זלמן ע"ה דונין ליום היארצייט שלהם י"א מנחם-אב. ‏ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בני משפחתם שיחיולע”נ מרת לונה בת ר' אברהם הכהן ע"ה אבן חיים ליום היארצייט שלה י"א מנחם-אב. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנה ר' אברהם שי' אבן חיים

BH Transform the physical and we can bring the Geulah!!!

In this class we conclude the maamar with the study of chapters 8 and 9. We learn how there are two levels of redemption that each of us must go through and how these correspond to the redemption in macrocosm through Moshiach.

Jasidishe Parshe Devarim

התוכן שמו של החודש הוא "מנחם אב", והיינו שבכל החודש, ומתחילתו, ישנו כבר ה"מנחם" של ענינים הבלתי-רצויים של חודש זה. וזה מודגש ביותר בזמננו "אַז ס'קרוב זמן הגאולה, ביז וואַנעט אַז מ'דאַרף דאָס זאָגן בדיבור, וואָס איז . . דאָך מגלה און מכריז און מודיע בכל מקום אַז ס'איז דער צייט וואָס ס'הויבט זיך אָן "מנחם""; מעלת קביעות שנה זו שהיא שנת העיבור, והיינו שניתוסף חודש שלם בעניני תומ"צ, שעי"ז, ביטול הסיבה ד"מפני חטאינו", מתבטל המסובב ד"גלינו מארצנו", ופועלים הענין ד"והפכתי אבלם לששון"; אע"פ שבזמן ד"בין המצרים" צריך למעט בשמחה אבל השמחה שע"י לימוד התורה ("פקודי ה' ישרים משמחי לב") הוא חיוב, ובפרט בזמן זה שיש "להתייגע" במיוחד בענין הגאולה, הרי "ציון במשפט (תורה) תפדה ושבי' בצדקה (שכולל כל המצוות)", ויש לעשותם מתוך שמחה.ב' חלקים משיחת מוצש"פ פנחס ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2024 Synopsis The name of the month is “Menachem-Av,” meaning that the entire month, from its beginning, already offers the “Menachem” (consolation) for the undesirable aspects of the month. This is especially emphasized in our time, when the Redemption is near, to the point that it must be clearly verbalized, which reveals and proclaims and announces everywhere that the time of “Menachem” is beginning. This year is also a leap year, which brings an additional entire month of Torah and mitzvos, thus nullifying “our sins” and thereby nullifying the result of our sins, namely, the fact that “we were exiled from our land,” and thus turning “their mourning into gladness.” Although joy is supposed to be diminished during the Three Weeks, however the joy derived from Torah study (“The orders of Hashem are upright, causing the heart to rejoice”) is a requirement, especially now when it's necessary to exert special effort for the Redemption, as “Tzion shall be redeemed through justice (Torah) and those who return to it with tzedakah (which encompasses all the mitzvos)” and this should be done with joy.Two excerpts from sichah of Motza'ei Shabbos Parashas Pinchas, 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2024

The possibility for forgetting Torah derives from a viewpoint that perceives a separation between transcendent and the immanent Divine energies. This is also the root of the debacle of the worship of the Golden Calf.

התוכן יש לעורר אודות ענינים של מעשה בפועל שהזמ"ג – הדינים בשו"ע הנוגעים לתשעת הימים, ובפרט הדינים דשבוע שחל בו תשעה באב [ואע"פ שבנוגע לפועל בקביעות ש.ז. (תשמ"ח), שת"ב נדחה ליום א', יש שקו"ט אם כל השבוע שלפנ"ז דינו כשבוע שחל בו ת"ב, אבל בנוגע להוספה בלימוד התורה וצדקה אין מקום לשקו"ט]. ופשוט שבזה נכלל החיוב ללמוד הלכות אלו בשו"ע, ולפלא שכשעושים "שטורעם" בנוגע ההוספה בלימוד התורה בימים אלו, ובפרט עניני בית הבחירה, לא מזכירים אודות לימוד ההלכות דבין המצרים! ועפמ"ש "ציון במשפט (תורה) ושבי' בצדקה" יש לעורר ע"ד ההוספה בלימוד התורה, וכן בנתינת הצדקה ובפרט לפני התפילה. ואם בנוגע לזמנו כותב אדה"ז שעיקר העבודה היא בצדקה ש"אין ישראל נגאלין אלא בצדקה", ועאכו"כ בזמננו זה ש"כלו כל הקצין", ובפרט בימים אלו שבהם מתפללין לה' ביתר שאת לגאולה, ורוצים שהתפלות יתקבלו. כל השומעים את הדברים ישתדלו לא רק לקיימם בעצמם אלא לפרסמם – להביא את "אגרת" נשיא דורנו לכאו"א מבני הדור.ב' חלקים משיחת יום ה' פ' מטו"מ, אור לר"ח מנחם-אב ה'תשמ"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-08-2024 Synopsis It is appropriate to raise a timely issue: the halachos in Shulchan Aruch pertaining to the Nine Days, and particularly the laws of the week of Tisha B'Av. (Although Tisha B'Av this year is postponed to Sunday, and there's a debate as to whether the entire preceding week is considered the week of Tisha B'Av, however, with regards to increasing in Torah study and tzedakah there's no room for debate). Obviously this includes the obligation to learn these halachos, yet it's astonishing that when a stir is made about increasing in Torah study during the Three Weeks, particularly Hilchos Beis Habechirah, no mention is made of studying the halachos of the Three Weeks! In accordance with the verse, “Tzion shall be redeemed through justice (Torah) and those who return to her with tzedakah” – there should be an increase in Torah study, as well as tzedakah, and particularly, giving tzedakah before davening. If the Alter Rebbe wrote that in his times the primary service was through tzedakah, because “The Jewish people are redeemed only through tzedakah,” how much more so nowadays when “all the end times have passed.” And especially at this time of year, when we daven to Hashem for the Redemption with even greater intensity. Whoever hears these words should endeavor not only to fulfill them on their own, but also to publicize them – to bring the “letter” of the Rebbe of our generation to each and every member of the generation.Two excerpts from sichah of Thursday night, Parashas Matos-Masei, Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5748 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-08-2024

Shapell's 9 Days Yom Iyun 5784 - Rabbi Schneider - Drishas Tzion And Zeicher LeChurban by Shapell's Rabbeim

BH A great "pick me up" Maamar for the 3 weeks

The unification of Sovev and Memaleh can also be understood as corresponding to the names Havaye and Elokim. This unification makes it possible to live within time and space but not prioritize the material world as an end unto itself. Chapters 4 and 5 of the maamar.

This maamar of the Rebbe is based on a maamar of the Alter Rebbe in Likkutei Torah which describes how to instill in oneself the feeling that the Torah is truly new everyday. Chapters 1-3 of the maamar.

KAD HAKEMACH TZION

The Shmuze - Rabbi Schoonmaker - The Midbar, The Meraglim, And Tzion Beit Chayeinu by Shapell's Rabbeim

התוכן בעמדנו בפ' בהעלותך, הנה כאן המקום להזכיר ולעודד אודות פירוש הפנימי של "בהעלותך את הנרות" – להדליק את "נר הוי' נשמת אדם" של כ"א, מבלי הבט לאיזה מהז' הסוגים של בנ"י הוא משתייך, "עד שתהא שלהבת עולה מאילי'", ובאופן של "אל מול פני המנורה שבעת הנרות" – לקשר את כ"א עם פנימיותו. זה קשור במיוחד עם מבצע נש"ק, כמ"ש במדרש "אם שמרתם נרות של שבת אני מראה לכם נרות של ציון" – "בהעלותך את הנרות" בפשטות, אבל באופן כללי ה"ז קשור עם הפצת היהדות בכלל, מתחיל עם המבצעים הכלליים: מבצע אהבת כל ישראל (שכ"א מהם הוא בדוגמת "כהן גדול"), וכאמור – מבלי הבט לאיזה מהז' סוגים הוא משתייך, ומזה באים לשאר המבצעים: חינוך (ובענין שהזמ"ג – לרשום ילדים במחנות-קיץ וכו'), תורה, תפילין, מזוזה, צדקה, "בית מלא ספרים", נש"ק, כשרות, טהרת המשפחה. וכ"ז – באופן של "מלכתחילה אַריבער".א' השיחות דהתוועדות משיחת מוצש"ק פ' נשא ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-06-2024 Synopsis The week of Parashah Behaalosecha is an appropriate time to call attention to and to emphasize and encourage with regards to the inner meaning of “When you kindle the lamps” – to kindle the “lamp of Hashem, the soul of man,” the soul of every Jew, regardless of which of the seven kinds of Jews he belongs to – to kindle it “until the flame rises by itself,” and in such a way that “the seven lamps shall shine toward the face of the menorah,” connecting a Jew to his inner core. This has a particular connection the Shabbos candles campaign, as the Midrash says, “If you keep the Shabbos, candles, I will show you the candles of Tzion” – the “kindling of the lamps” literally, with the coming of Moshiach. In a broader sense, the parashah relates to spreading Yiddishkeit in general, starting with the general Mitzvah Campaigns: the campaign to love every Jew (each of whom is like a “Kohen Gadol”), regardless of which of the seven types of Jews he belongs to – and from this comes the other campaigns: Jewish education (which is especially timely because people are now registering their children for summer and camp and school etc.), Torah study, tefillin, mezuzah, tzedakah, “a house full of sefarim,” Shabbos candles, kosher, and family purity – and all of this in a manner of m'lchatchilah ariber.Sichah from farbrengen of Motza'ei Shabbos Parashas Naso 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-06-2024 לזכות ר' ארי וזוגתו מרת רייזל שיחיו דבורקן ליום הנישואין שלהם ט' סיוןלברכה והצלחה בכל הענינים ‏בגו"ר

התוכן [המשך] 3) הטענה הגדולה – מהו ה"סדר" שמישהו מתערב בעניניו הפרטיים ואומר לו שיש להניח תפילין ולשמור שבת וכו' – מה זה העסק שלו?! גם טענה זו נתבטלה לאחרונה בעת הגיוס – כ"א ידע בפשיטות שבהנהגתו הפרטית, אם הוא ימלא את הפקודות או אם הוא יהי' "ירא ורך הלבב", תלוי, לא רק גורלו או קבוצתו, אלא גורל כל עם היושב בציון! "דמי כל ישראל תלויים על צווארו"! וכאמור, כ"א ראה איך שכל טענות אלו התבטלו לפני מ"ת השנה, בבחי' "טועמי' חיים זכו". והוראות אלו בתקפם בכל עת: כבר אי אפשר לטעון שהענין דהקדמת נעשה לנשמע וקב"ע וכו' הוא בלתי-אפשרי – הוא ראה על עצמו איך שהוא הלך בקב"ע, בשמחה! וזה מה שגרם לנצחון. וזוהי הקריאה והטענה לכאו"א מישראל: ראית בעצמך שכאשר אתה יודע שזה ענין הנוגע לקדושת א"י או לקדושת החיים ומציאותו של יהודי – הנה אתה בעצמך התנהגת באופן האמור, ובשמחה!משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשכ"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-06-2024 Synopsis [Continued.] (3) The yetzer hara's major argument is, what is this business of someone mixing into my personal affairs and telling me I should put on tefillin and keep Shabbat etc. – “Mind your own business!” This argument, too, was put to rest at the time of the military call-up: it was obvious to everyone that the way you conduct yourself, and whether you are “fearful and faint-hearted,” isn't a personal issue, but rather affects the fate of your entire unit and the fate of the entire people dwelling in Tzion! Everyone saw how all these arguments of the yetzer hara were put to rest, in the days leading up to receiving the Torah, a taste of the future Redemption. The lessons apply for all time. You can no longer argue that that's impossible to have kabbolas ol and put “We will do” before “We will hear,” because you saw personally that when you saw that the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and the holiness of a Jewish life was at stake – you followed orders happily and without question! This is what led to the victory, and this is the call to every Jew.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5727. For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=05-06-2024

Yahrtzeit Yomi #1030!! כג ניסן The Kaliver Rebbe רב מנחם מנדל ב״ר יהודה יחיאל טאוב קול מנחם אדמו"ר מקאליב (1923 - 2019) --------------------------------------------- Yearning for Yerushalayim SOL A KOKOSH MAR AS the long night draws to a close, Hungarian families turn to the song written by the Kaliver Rebbe that spread throughout prewar Hungary, a moving poetic expression of the yearning for Geulah. The first rebbe of the Kaliver dynasty, Rav Yitzchak Isaac Taub (1744–1821) of Nagykálló, Hungary, was a great rebbe and locally known, like Dovid HaMelech, as “the Sweet Singer of Israel.” He composed many popular chassidic melodies, often adapting Hungarian folk songs and adding Jewish words. He taught that these specific tunes originally came from the Beis Hamikdash and were lost among the nations over the years, and that he found them and returned them to the Jewish people. He said that the proof of this was that the gentile who would teach him these songs would forget them as soon as he learned it. One of these tunes — arguably the most famous — is “Sol a Kokosh Mar.” It spread throughout Hungary as a song of dveykus and hope in the spoken language, using the parable of a beautiful bird who wants to return to its home, Yerushalayim, and concluding with “Yibaneh hamikdash, ir Tzion temaleh… then, it will happen.” (Some versions continue with the words “Why has it not yet happened...umipnei chata'einu galinu mei'artzeinu...”) The Kaliver Rebbe who survived the war, Rav Menachem Mendel Taub, sang this song at hundreds of weddings and events over the years, bringing the holy legacy of his ancestors forward to a new generation, until his petirah in 2019. יהי זכרו ברוך!! ------------------------------------------------- https://jewishmusicalnotes.com/vchulom-mekablim-the-kaliver-rebbe/ ---------------------------------------------------- Share the Yahrtzeit Yomi link with your contacts!! https://chat.whatsapp.com/JimbwNtBaX31vmRDdnO3yk To dedicate or sponsor, please contact 917-841-5059.

Return or Resurrection? Footsteps of Messiah In the Footsteps of Messiah series, we've used the Song of Songs as a prophetic working text to help us understand the preparation of the Bride of Messiah: “Come with me from Lebanon, my bride...” (So 4:8) Some passages of the Song describe the relationship between the Bride and her Beloved, and some describe the perfecting conditions in millennial kingdom. What is puzzling is how the resurrection of the righteous dead aligns with the more natural-sounding earth prophecies such as this one in Isaiah: 'For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,' says the LORD, ‘just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.' (Is 66:18-20) The ancient boundaries of the coastlands (nations) were according to language and family: From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. (Ge 10:5) In the millennial kingdom of Messiah, it appears that those boundaries don't disappear. Maybe they are re-drawn according to the original assignments, or maybe the shifting of peoples and their languages results in re-drawing. I'm not sure whether that's important, only that the boundaries of Tzion are established and respected. Isaiah prophesies that all nations and tongues will gather. The only event(s) we know that fit this prophecy is the gathering to the House of Prayer for All Nations, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Zechariah 14:16 prophesies the nations will begin to observe the feasts of Adonai in the millennium. Zechariah's prophecy seems a little more aligned with Isaiah's vision of the millennium, a time that still seems very much within a perfecting, but yet physical, world. How, then, do we see the Bride's gathering into the cloud (1 Th 4:16) to remain in the Presence of Adonai versus being a “sign” for the gathering of the nations? Are we in the Presence of Adonai or active among the nations? Maybe it's not an either/or question, simply one of learning from both prophecies. A thousand years is a very long time. A thousand years ago, the Vikings were terrorizing Europe and beyond by sea, and the Byzantine Empire still sailed the Mediterranean. There were castles and kings. The samurai in Japan were beginning to arise as a warrior class. The Mayans had not yet reached the pinnacle of their empire. We've come a long way, baby Bride. And the nations will have a long way to go in the millennium. From the text in Exodus describing the giving of the Torah, an identity evolved of Israel as a Bride. In Jewish thought, Moses is the one leading the Bride out to meet the Bridegroom at Sinai. From here, the prophets (Je 2:2 among others) take up the Bride as an identity of Israel who is willing to do and hear the commandments of her Elohim. She's saved from Egypt and bound in covenant of her free will. The New Testament Scriptures extend this identity and elaborate upon it. Likewise, the Feast of Shavuot is seen as the time at which the Bride will be sealed. The Feast of Trumpets is the resurrection of those sealed and the righteous dead, but what of the ten days until Yom HaKippurim? Those days are seen as an opportunity for the “intermediates,” or as Yeshua calls them “lukewarm,

Leon Ben-Tzion is pretty bummed about having a grandpa name, especially when he realizes that the only other Leon he knows is his Saba (grandpa) Leon. When Saba Leon sits "Little Leon" down for a heart-to-heart and shows him the "Book of Lions" or Leons, Leon is pretty intrigued. Maybe having a "grandpa name" and carrying on the family tradition isn't so bad after all? Tagel loves this book because having a unique Jewish name is something that he's struggled with a bit in school. The story gives her a boost of Jewish pride and hopefully, it will do the same for you!

The pasuk says in Shir HaShirim , הגידה לי שאהבה נפשי איכה תרעה – Rashi explains, this is ruach hakodesh comparing the Jewish people to sheep who are beloved to their shepherd. We turn to HaKadosh Baruch Hu , our Shepherd, like a woman who turns to her loving husband. And we say הגידה לי שאהבה נפשי – tell me, the One who I love so much, how can Your sheep graze when they are amongst wolves who want to devour them. The pasuk continues: איכה תרביץ בצהריים - The midrash says this is referring to the חבלי משיח -the pangs of Mashiach , which are compared to the afternoon sun. The afternoon sun is very dangerous to the sheep who may become dehydrated from it. So the sheep cry out in distress to the shepherd to get rid of the sun from the world, but they don't know how much benefit the sun gives the world and how much benefit they get from the sun. The pangs of Mashiach are very difficult to deal with, but we must know, as always, even the difficulties are there for our benefit. How is it possible that anything good could possibly come out of holy Jewish people being brutally murdered in such a horrific way? We have no understanding of the ways of Hashem and we don't know 99.99% of His calculations, but a great rabbi once gave a little insight on another occasion when Jewish people were brutally murdered just because they were Jewish. The Rabbi said, besides for the fact that those people were considered kedoshim and chassidim for dying al kiddush Hashem, they also were being credited with all the millions of good deeds and improvements that the entire Jewish people had achieved as a direct result of their horrific deaths. Rabbi Menashe Reisman told a story of one of the people who were murdered on Shemini Atzeret. It was a man who was once part of Yeshivat Tifrach. He had since veered from the path and was at that festival on Shabbat morning. The Rosh Yeshiva came to be menachem avel after the burial, being that he used to be the Rosh Yeshiva of the niftar . When he started speaking, the boy's father said to him, “You don't need to give me any chizuk . My son came to me in a dream after he was buried. His face was glowing. He told me he was learning privately with HaKadosh Baruch Hu בכבודו ובעצמו .” We cannot imagine how high his neshama reached, to the greatest heights, from what took place. But it is hard for us to feel any consolation while we are still mourning and the danger is still lurking. The midrash already told that in the days preceding Mashiach , Hashem is going to call upon the Nevi'im to come and console us, but we will not be consoled. The Nevi'im will go back to Hashem to tell Him, עניה סוערה לא נוחמה – that His people cannot be consoled. And then, Hashem will come Himself to comfort us, like it says אנכי אנכי מנחמכם . He will then restore life to those who have passed on and they will once again be reunited with their families. ולא ישמע עוד חמס בארצך – we will no longer have Hamas in our midst. שוד ושבר בגבולך – or calamity and destruction in our borders. The Navi describes the Mashiach by saying, ברוח שפתיו ימית רשע – by the breath of his mouth will he kill our enemies. כי הנה ה' באש יבוא - Hashem will come with fire to eliminate all of those who tormented His People. שישו את ירושלים גילו בה כל אוהביה – those days are going to be the happiest days since the time of the world's creation. ועמך כולם צדיקים – everyone will be righteous. כי עין בעין יראו בשוב ה' את ציון – we will see Hashem returning to Tzion with our own eyes. These are the glorious days ahead. Now, we are still in the thick of the darkness, but the light will shine once more. And then, לא יהיה לך שמש לאור יומם והיה ה' לך לאור עולם – we will no longer need the sun for daylight because Hashem Himself will be our light. For now, we must hold strong, we must maintain our steadfast emunah in Hashem and we must improve to become the best ovdei Hashem we can be. And then, b'ezrat Hashem, we'll be zocheh to dance with the Mashiach bekarov . Amen. Shabbat Shalom
