Anoos Al Pi HaDibbur

Welcome to Daily Bitachon. We continue our lessons with the four Pesukim that we read at Bikurim , which is also format of our Hagadah Shel Pesach story. The next two words are VaYered Mitzraimah / And he ( Yaakov Avinu) went down to Mitzrayim . Says the Baal Hagadah , ' Annus al pi hadibur/He was forced based on the word of God.' Anoos or Onness means forced . The Yalkut Shimoni on Bereshit chapter 39, letter 145, says on the pasuk "VaYosef hurad/Yosef was brought down , or, he brought down others, that Horid Avinu Yaakov / Yosef caused Yaakov to come down. A mashal is given- of a cow that did not want to go where it was supposed to go. What did they do? They put its calf in front of it and it followed, against its will. So too, Yaakov Avinu was supposed to go down to Egypt in chains of steel. Imagine Yaakov Avinu in steel chains! But Hashem said, Bni Bechori hu ? Yaakov is my firstborn son, V'ani morido b'bizayon / Am I going to take him down in disgrace? No. His son would go down first, and he would follow. This is an important concept. Hashem made a gezera and it had to happen. Hashem makes it happen. However, he was originally supposed to go down as a slave, but Hashem was able to change the gezera and make it happen in the best possible way. In Shmuel א , Perek יב , Pasuk ו – ח Shmuel HaNavi describes to the people their history, in short. It says there, " Listen my nation, to what Hashem did to Moshe and Aharon who took you out of Mitzrayim. And let me tell you ," he says, " all the good things that He did with you and your forefathers: Ka'asher ba Yaakov Mitzrayim / When Yaakov came to Mitzrayim, and your fathers cried out, Hashem sent Moshe and Aharon, and they and they came." The Chida , in his sefer Chomat Anach on that pasuk in Shmuel asks, What does it mean Ka'asher ba Yaakov/When Yaakov came ? He says, this is a hint to us. Ba means he came on his own. He was really supposed to go down in steel chains, but Shmuel is hinting to the fact that he came on his own. And he says that the four words, K a'asher B a Y aakov M itzrayim , כ אשר ב א י עקוב מ צרים have the Rashei Teivot of מכבי Makabi which stands for Mi Kamocha Ba'elim Hashem / Who is like You among the strong ones ? God was able to undo the Gezera in the Zechut of Yaakov, and he went down through Yosef. This is an important lesson in Hashgacha Pratit . Hashem will make things happen. How? With tremendous intermediary causes. The sefer Tzror HaMor on Bereshit 41:1 tells us in the pasuk, U'Paroh cholem / And Paroah had a dream , as well as " Vayehi miketz shnatayim yamim, U'Paroah ," that it should have said Paroh cholem / Paroah dreamed . Why does it say, And Paroah dreamed? He says it goes back to another dream. The Vav / and is mosif / adding on . What's it adding on to? It's adding on to the dreams of Yosef . Yosef had two dreams, both with the same theme, and Paroah also had two dreams with the same theme. He says this was all in order to fulfill the word of God that: Ki ger yihyeh zar'acha b'eretz lo lahem / For Your children will be sojourners in a land that's not theirs. As the Gemara in Shabbat 89b says, Yaakov should have gone down with steel chains, but Hashem brought it about that he went down b'kavod gadol/ great honor. This was all in order to fulfill the ma'amar or the dibbur . So Annus al pi hadibur / Yaakov was forced down . How? With respect, with kavod . But at the end of the day, he was forced . Everyone is forced. Sometimes we are forced in limousines , but we're all forced , because everything that happens is there to fulfill a gezera . You can be forced in a respected way, or chas v'shalom , forced in a disrespectful way. Yaakov Avinu came down through dreams, through famine, but he came b'kavod gadol. But ultimately, Vayered Mitzrayim a. He didn't go because he decided to go. He went because he had no choice. Hashem set it up that he had to go. This is an important lesson called Anoos al pi hadibur . Everything that we do happens because of Hashem . Of course, we have freedom of choice. We make our choices, but at the end of the day, Hashem is going to make it happen. To illustrate can look to Yosef- He was out looking for his brothers but couldn't find them, so he was ready to go back home. Then he saw a man on the road. Who was that man on the road? Rashi tells us, it was the angel Gavriel . Yosef was lost. He never would have found his brothers. He was going back home. But Hashem needed to get Yaakov down to Mitzrayim so He sent down an angel tour guide , so to speak, to send him where he had to go. And Paroah had dreams. Why? Well, how could we get Paroah to meet Yosef? No problem. We'll have a fly land in the cup, the Sar Hamashkim will have to go to jail and meet Yosef, and eventually Yosef will interpret the dreams. All of this falls under this rule of Anoos al pi hadibur . It's fascinating how HaKadosh Baruch Hu makes things happen in so many steps!

The Blues locked in deals worth €50M and €20M, respectively, on delayed loans. With Chelsea's track record of acquiring young talent, we discuss what the future holds for these rising midfielders and whether this move will help or hinder their development.Portugal's squad for the Nations League playoffs is out, and we analyze Roberto Martínez's selections. Is the midfield trio of Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno Fernandes the right call? Will these choices propel the team to victory, or do we see cracks in the foundation?Sporting CP continues their dominant form, storming past Famalicão with a convincing 3-1 victory. The match saw Fresneda break the deadlock after a stunning run from "Thicc Vic". Famalicão kept things competitive by equalizing through a penalty just before halftime, but Sporting had the last laugh. "Thicc Vic" himself converts from the spot.Returning to domestic action, Benfica faced Rio Ave and started strong with a stunning strike from Orkun Kökçü. However, despite going 2-0 up, two sloppy defensive mistakes—one notably from Tino—allowed Rio Ave back into the match. Fortunately, Aturkoglu stepped up to restore order, securing the much-needed three points.Desperate for stability, Porto reverted to a back-four system, and it paid off with a solid 2-0 victory over AVS. Rising star Rodrigo Mora opened the scoring, bringing energy back into the squad. Fábio Vieira followed up with a thunderous one-timer to double the lead. AVS didn't help their case as Ignacio Rodriguez saw red early in the second half, giving Porto the advantage for the final 45 minutes.Guimarães' European campaign ended in disappointment as Real Betis walked into Portugal and delivered a crushing 4-0 defeat.

Daily Bitachon
The Humility of Moshe

Daily Bitachon

Welcome to our humility series. What was the reason Moshe Rabbenu was the greatest of prophets? What made him so special? The Nefesh HaChaim (gate 1, chapter 15) says that only Moshe Rabbenu merited that his full Neshama entered his body with all of its power and influence. That's why in Devarim 33:1, Moshe Rabbenu was called Ish HaElohim /a man of God. Rav Yaakov Hillel, in his commentary Nishmat HaYam on Nefesh HaChaim, connects this to what the Nefesh HaChaim writes in his third gate (chapters 13& 14), that Moshe Rabbenu stood out in the area of humility. It says in Bamidbar 12,3 וְהָאִ֥ישׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה עָנָ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד מִכֹּל֙ הָֽאָדָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ Moshe Rabbenu was the most humble of men. Furthermore, in Shemot 16,7 Moshe Rabbenu said about himself, ונחנו מה / What are we? Avraham Avinu said, I am dirt and dust , but even dirt and dust are something . It's not a lot, but it's something. However, Moshe Rabbenu said I am nothing . That's why, says Rav Yaakov Hillel, he was able to connect to Hashem on such a high level and reach such a high level of Holiness to the extent that the Shechina spoke through Moshe Rabbenu's throat, as it says, Moshe Rabbenu was different than all of the prophets . All other the prophets said Zeh Davar Hashem / this is the word of God. But Moshe Rabbenu said Ko Amar Hashem/ this is exactly what God says. It came from his throat as if God was talking through him. Why was this? Because he humbled himself to the extreme, and that humility purified his physicality to a point that no other person ever reached. Rav Chaim Volozhin, in his sefer Ruach Chaim Pirkei Avot (chapter 1, mishna 1) uses this to explain the Mishna that Moshe Kibel Torah M'Sinai/ Moshe accepted the Torah from Sinai in the zechut of his humility, more than any other prophet. That's why he was able to see with what's called a shiny window. Windows have different levels of clarity. Certain windows are tinted and you can't see through them well. The better or clearer the window, the better you can see through it. Since what separates us from God is our physicality, our holding of ourselves as a something (what's what we mean by physicality) interferes. But because Moshe's humility was so high, there was nothing to interfere with his connection to Hashem. The Baal Shem Tov has an interesting commentary on, אנכי עומד בין ה׳ וביניכם I am standing between you and your God. The simple meaning is that Moshe Rabbenu is the intermediary, but the Hasidim read it as, a person's Anochi , his egoism is what stands between him and God . Thus the interference between us and God is our egos. Since Moshe Rabbenu had no ego, there was no separation between him and God. This is a very interesting chiddush because the Rambam, in his Shmonei Perakim , where he talks about this concept of the clear glass and the unclear glass, says that every Middah creates an interference. And we see from here that the all/ powerful Middah that, so to say, cleans away all the dirt and grime from a person's soul, is the trait of humility. That was Moshe Rabbenu's greatness. The same Ruach HaChaim says that when it says, "Avraham, Avraham" in the Torah, there's a break between the two, like a line between the two Avrahams. But when is says Moshe Moshe , it doesn't have that. Why is that? Because one of the Avrahams is the Avraham down here, and the other Avraham is the Avraham above- the soul, or the source. His body and Neshama had some kind of separation, so there wasn't an exact connection (of course we talking about Avraham Avinu, so it was only the slightest little bit, but there was still some difference). Moshe Rabbenu reached even higher level. I saw in Rav Yisrael Eliyahu Weintraub's commentary on Nefesh HaChaim that he askshow we can make it sound like Moshe was greater than the Avot ? He explains that this is a concept we talked about before, of the Nanas/ the dwarf, Al Gaveh Anak standing on top of giants, which means Moshe (who, of course was not a dwarf) was building on what the Avot saw. The Avot were able to see Hashem. They used the term Elohim for Hashem. Rashi says, in the beginning of Vaera , that God appeared to the Avot with the name Elohim . But when He appeared to Moshe, it was with Hashem's Divine name of Yud and Heh and Vav and Heh . What's the difference? Elohim means God is in control of all forces. God's able to change nature. Avraham Avinu went into fire and the fire didn't burn him. That's changing nature. But Moshe Rabbenu was on a higher level. It was not like just changing the fire that it wouldn't burn. When he made the miracle of turning water into blood, and blood into water, that was a new creation. When God opened up the earth for Korach, it was a new creation. That higher level of there is no existence but God, which we call En Od Milevado, happened when Rabbenu gave us the Torah. Moshe Rabbenu reached that level and that connection, and his humility caused him to have that high level of understanding of God (Nefesh HaChaim Shaar 3,perek 13 where he discusses this difference between the two names of Hashem and how that impacted Moshe Rabbenu versus the Avot). Going back to our story of ego and I separating us from God, let's get more practical. We're not talking about levels of prophecy between us and Moshe and the Avot. Many political critics keep track of how many times a president or presidential candidate say I in their speeches. I did this and I did that. And I and I and I. That's the feeling of I am doing. That's the Anochi , the I , the ego . There's a beautiful to story told of Rav Shneur Zalman of Liadi who eventually became the famous Baal HaTanya. He was studying under the Hasidish Rebbe Rav Dov Ber, who's known as the Maggid of Mezerich. Late one night, young Zalman knocked on his Rebbe's door to ask him a question. The Rebbe called out, " Who's there ?" And the young boy responded, " It's me ," confident that he would be recognized. The Rabbi repeated, " Who's there ?" and again, he said, " It's me." After the third time that the Rebbe asked Who's there ? the young student finally said, " It's Zalman." The Rebbe then opened the door and said, " My dear Zalman, the time has come for you to have a self-imposed exile. When you return, we will analyze your experience together." In those days, great people went into exile and for some reason, at this point, it was his time. So he went to a certain inn and that very night, thieves broke in and stole the silverware of the innkeeper. The next morning, the innkeeper was suspicious of this young stranger, Zalman, accused him of stealing the the silver and demanded that he confess. Zalman cried, "It was not me! It was not me!" The innkeeper grabbed him by the neck and accused him again. And again he cried, " It's not me, it's not me!" He then pulled himself out of the innkeeper's grip and fled back to Mezerich. He told the Maggid the story and the Maggid said, " This, my dear Zaman, is a lesson which you should never forget. Do you see how many times you were forced to shout, "Not me, not me?"That was in order to undo the effect of calling out proudly, "It's me!" Yes, of course this is the high level training of a great Hasidic Rebbe who eventually started a great dynasty. But the point for us is that the greater the person is, the less the I is there. Moshe Rabbenu did not possess an I and therefore he reached the greatest of levels. And the opposite, the greater the I, the bigger the interference between the person and God.

The first day of Adar can fall on either Shabbat, Monday, Wednesday or Friday; these are the only days of the week on which the first of Adar can occur. These four days are represented by the acrostic "Zabdu," which consists of the letters Zayin (referring to Shabbat), Bet (referring to Monday), Dalet (referring to Wednesday) and Vav (referring to Friday). This year (5785/2025), of course, the first of Adar falls on Friday. Our Hachamim teach us that the twelve months correspond to the twelve possible configurations of the divine Name of "Havaya." This Name has four letters, which can be arranged in twelve different sequences. Each of the months is under the influence of one such configuration. The Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572) taught that when one recites the middle Beracha of the Amida of Musaf on Rosh Hodesh – the Beracha that concludes, "Baruch Ata Hashem Mekadesh Yisrael Ve'Rasheh Hodashim" – he should have in mind the configuration that corresponds to that month. The configuration of the month of Adar is Heh-Heh, followed by Yod-Vav. This sequence is alluded to in Yaakob's blessing to his son Yehuda before his death, in which he says, "Oseri La'gefen Iro Ve'la'soreka Beni Atono" (Bereshit 49:11). The final letters of the words "Iro Ve'la'soreka Beni Atono" are "Heh," "Heh," "Yod," "Vav," alluding to the configuration of God's Name that corresponds to the month of Adar. One should have this configuration in mind when reciting the middle Beracha of the Amida of Musaf on Rosh Hodesh Adar. This Kavana (intention) is especially significant. The Hachamim teach us that the two Heh letters in the divine Name represent the attribute of "Din" (judgment), which is the "female" aspect of the Name. The other two letters – Yod and Vav – signify divine Mercy, the "male" aspect. When a month's configuration begins with the two Heh letters, that month is, in its purest form, under the influence of "Din." Therefore, the month of Adar, which is under the influence of Heh-Heh Yod-Vav, is, at its core, under the power of divine judgment. However, as we know from the Megila, there is the possibility of "Ve'nahafoch Hu," of reversing the power of harsh judgment to mercy through prayer, repentance, fasting and charity. Even though the essence of Adar is under the influence of "Din," it is within our power to reverse the influence to that of divine compassion. This concept is alluded to in Megilat Ester, in the seemingly peculiar decree proposed by Memuchan, an advisor of King Ahashverosh. After Vashti disobeyed the king, Memuchan – who, according to one view in the Gemara, was the prophet Daniel – suggested that the king issue a decree that all husbands in the empire should assert authority in their homes: "Lihiyot Kol Ish Sorer Be'beto" (Ester 1:22). It is possible that Daniel saw through his prophetic vision that the attribute of "Din," which is the "female" aspect of the divine Name, was gaining strength and posed a threat to the Jewish people. He sought to reverse this dangerous situation by requiring the husbands, the males, to assert their authority, thus bolstering the power of the "male" aspect of the Name, the attribute of kindness and compassion. Sure enough, his efforts were successful and the harsh judgment of Adar was transformed into mercy for the Jewish people. Thus, although the month of Adar is represented by a configuration beginning with Heh-Heh, and should therefore be a month of judgment, we are able to transform the nature of this month and bring upon ourselves divine compassion through our repentance and good deeds.

King David proclaims in Tehillim (17:15), "Ani Be'sedek Eheze Fanecha" – "I shall behold Your countenance in righteousness." The Gemara in Masechet Baba Batra (10) explains this verse as revealing a fundamental precept relevant to Sedaka (charity) – that whoever involves himself in charity earns the privilege of beholding the Divine Presence. King David here teaches us that "Be'sedek," through the great merit of Sedaka, "Eheze Fanecha" – one is rewarded with the privilege of beholding a revelation of Hashem. This concept is seen in other sources, as well. Parashat Vayera begins by telling us that Hashem revealed Himself to Abraham Abinu: "Vayera Elav Hashem." The Sages explain that G-d came to Abraham to perform "Bikur Holim" (visiting the sick), as Abraham was recovering from the painful procedure of circumcision. Of course, Hashem does not visit every ailing righteous person. Why, then, did He appear to Abraham Abinu at this time? The answer is provided in the continuation of the verse, which tells us that Abraham was sitting outside his tent, in the heat of the day, looking for wayfarers in need of hospitality. As Abraham made a special effort to involve himself in Hesed (kindness), he was worthy of beholding a revelation of G-d. This can be seen also in the Misva of Aliya Le'regel, which requires making a pilgrimage to the Bet Ha'mikdash every Pesah, Shabuot and Sukkot with special sacrifices. The Torah commands that on these three occasions, "Year'eh Kol Zechurcha" ("all your males shall be seen" by G-d), and the Gemara interprets the word "Yera'eh" to mean not only that we are seen by Hashem on these occasions, but also that we see Him. (The word "Yera'eh" can be read as "Yir'eh" – "will see.") However, the Torah adds, "Lo Yera'u Fanai Rekam" – we cannot come to the Bet Ha'mikdash on the festivals "emptyhanded." In order to behold the Shechina (Divine Presence), we must offer sacrifices. We earn the great privilege of seeing G-d's presence only by giving. For this reason, the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572) taught that nowadays, when we do not have the Bet Ha'mikdash, we must give charity before every Yom Tob. Just as we needed to bring sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash to behold the Shechina on the holidays, nowadays we must give charity in order to have this special privilege. The Ba'al Shem Tob (1698-1760) taught that the Shechina descends upon a person when he gives charity because the Divine Name is symbolically formed through the act of giving. The small coin, or bill, which one gives represents the first letter of Hashem's Name, the letter "Yod." One takes the coin or bill in his hand, which has five fingers, and thus corresponds to the letter "Heh" (which has the numerical value of 5). The outstretched arm as one gives the money represents the tall, straight letter "Vav," and the needy person's hand which receives the charity symbolizes the final letter "Heh," thus spelling the Name of "Havaya" ("Yod"-"Heh"-"Vav"-"Heh"'). Therefore, by giving charity, we bring Hashem's presence. In light of this teaching, the Kabbalists instruct that if one is placing Sedaka money in a charity box, instead of giving it directly to a needy individual, he should first transfer the money from one hand to the other. If one is placing the money into a box, there is no final "Heh," as the recipient does not receive the money directly from the donor. Therefore, in order to form the final letter, one should move the money from one hand to the other and then place it in a box. This practice is alluded to in the verse which commands giving charity, "Naton Titen" ("you shall surely give" – Debarim 15:10). The phrase "Naton Titen" alludes to two acts of giving – moving the charity money from hand to the next, and then placing it in the Sedaka box. Moreover, the Kabbalists teach that in order to create the Name, one must initiate the process of giving. If one waits for the needy individual to come and outstretch his arm, requesting assistance, then the sequence of the letters is distorted. The Name must begin with the letter "Yod," which, as mentioned, corresponds to the money which one gives. Therefore, one must not wait for the person in need to come and ask for help, and should instead approach the poor person and outstretch his arm with the donation, in order to spell the Name the right way. This is alluded to in the aforementioned verse in Tehillim, in which David says, "Ani Be'sedek" – "I, through charity," referring to his initiating the donation of charity. The verse continues, "Esbe'a Be'hakitz Temunatecha" (literally, "I shall be satiated by Your image when I awaken"), which can be understood to mean that if we must be "awakened" by a needy person asking for help, rather than initiating the donation, then we see only "Temunatecha" – a vague image. If we give only after we are approached, then we form the Name, but the letters are jumbled, so we do not behold Hashem clearly. It is only when "Ani Be'sedek," when we initiate the giving of charity, that "Ehezeh Panecha," we see Hashem's countenance clearly. This verse also teaches us another vitally important concept relevant to charity. The Gemara tells that Rabbi Eliezer would make a point of giving charity before prayer, based on this verse in Tehillim – "Ani Be'sedek Eheze Fanecha," which could be read to mean that David came to "see G-d" in prayer after fulfilling the Misva of charity ("Be'sedek"). The great merit of this special Misva helps ensure the prayer's acceptance. Indeed, the Pele Yoetz (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1785-1828) writes that synagogues should place a charity box near the entrance so that everyone can give money to charity immediately upon entering. Even if not, one should try to at least set money aside for charity before each prayer, and this will help the prayer achieve the desired result. This concept may be explained in light of the Arizal's teaching that before one prays, he should declare that he accepts upon himself the Misva of "Ve'ahabta Le're'acha Kamocha" ("You shall love your fellow as yourself"), and proclaim his love for all his fellow Jews. This has been explained based on a parable of two brothers who lived in different countries, one of whom was very wealthy, and the other underprivileged. One day, the underprivileged brother decided to sell the little he had to fund a trip to his wealthy brother, certain that his brother would generously assist him. After the long, grueling journey, the impoverished man came to his brother's home and knocked on the door. "Who are you?" the brother asked. "What do you mean? I'm your brother." "Sorry, I have nothing for you. Good luck." He slammed the door. Sometime later, the wealthy brother went to visit his aging father, whom he had not seen in quite a while. When he arrived, he knocked on the door. The father opened the door and asked, "Who are you?" "Who am I?! I'm your son!" "If you don't recognize your brother as your brother," the father said, "then why should I consider you my son? If you're not his brother, then you're not my son." If we want a loving relationship with our father, then we need to treat our brothers like our brothers. When we pray, we come to G-d as a child coming before his loving father, asking for what we need. In order to do this, we must first affirm our commitment to fulfill the command of "Ve'ahabta Le're'acha Kamocha," to regard all our fellow Jews as our brothers – for only then can we come before G-d and say that we are His children. This is why it is important to give charity before prayer, too. By giving charity, we are showing that we care about our fellow Jews like our brothers. And once we have made it clear that they are all our brothers, we can then stand before Hashem and ask Him to care for us like a loving father.

BEST OF TST: The Kansas City Chiefs victory parade turned deadly and injurious to dozens of people on Valentine's Day, marking not only a shocking tragedy but a truly bloody Valentine. Strangely enough, the odd series of number patterns that appeared during Super Bowl weekend, were also present in reports of the shooting. Headline after headline reported different totals of victims - those injured, those killed, children, those being treated at hospitals - all in a manner where the numbers added to 22 and 25, the score of the big game, or to 13 or 33. These numbers appear in the inconsistent reports about the parade shooting: NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 23 injured and 2 taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. An early article reported before arrests were announced that 22 were injured. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl. Such number synchronicity may not be a conspiracy, but instead a result of some influential force acting behind the scenes of human affairs - what Helena Blavatsky called the Secret Chiefs. The word ‘Chief' is also used in the ancient Jewish text called Talmud, where such a titled referred to anyone who stood against Israel, particularly the goyim, and how they should be killed. Tract 57a of the Talmud says their “ashes are gathered” and scattered, another odd link to Ash Wednesday.Maybe Joe Buck of ESPN, veteran play-by-play voice for "Monday Night Football," was on to something when he said this of the Super Bowl: "There's going to be some story. There's going to be something that happens because it's Vegas, and it won't stay in Vegas. It's going to be a big something that happens. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. I just think that is going to be a mess in my mind." Statement made by the KC Chiefs - calling the shooting “senseless violence” - and the KC Police Chief - “people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment” - suggest we dismiss the motivations behind these events and further live in a fantasy where no violence ever occurs: remember when a homemade gun as used to kill former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe? The shootings took place in front of 800 officers, too, and it took a few bystanders to tackle a shooter despite laws against such gun violence. California's governor immediately vomited: “We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prevent gun violence nationwide.” The irony here is that the 2nd Amendment gave those bystanders the right to tackle one of the shooters. It's not the first shooting at a championship parade either, as others occurred in the wake of NBA and MLB celebrations as well. If violence of this sort of is planned by those other than ‘crazies', it would make far more sense to carry it out in the parade rather than the event itself since doing so would be too costly for the leagues, advertisers, etc. On our Super Bowl show, we discussed the ER in “super” and the “o” in Bowl and Champions being a different font than the rest of the letters. In Hebrew the strange E was two of the letters BET adding to 22, while the strange R was comprised of VAV and QOPH for a total 25. This was the score of the game. ERO is also the name of the god of love and passion we call cupid, who carries a bow and arrow (ero) - pronunciation reminds us of Arrowhead Stadium and the KC Chiefs logo. ERO is the quintessential Secret Chief, influencing our love from behind the scenes. Oddly, Valentine's Day was only 3 days after the Super Bowl. While 22 means ‘balance', the number 25 signifies a romantic passion associated directly with Valentine's Day and cupid or ERO.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Parashat Vayehi- G-d's Merciful Assistance

Insight of the Week

he Torah in Parashat Vayechi tells us of the special blessings that Yaakob Abinu pronounced to each of his sons just before his passing. In his blessing to Yosef, Yaakob declared, "Me'Kel Avicha Ve'yazreka" – literally, "From the G-d of your father, and He shall help you" (49:25). Rav Moshe Alshich (Safed, 1508-1593) noted two difficulties in the text of this phrase. First, instead of blessing Yosef simply that "the G-d of your father" should assist him, Yaakob said, "Me'Kel Avicha" – "FROM" the G-d of Yosef's father should help him. Secondly, Yaakob added the letter "Vav," which means "and," before the word "Yazreka," such that he said, "and He should help you," rather than just wishing that G-d should help Yosef. To explain Yaakob's intent, Rav Moshe Alshich cites the Gemara's teaching in Masechet Sukka (52) that a person's Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) rises against him each and every day, in an attempt to cause him to sin, as indicated by the verse (Tehillim 37:32), "Sofeh Rasha La'sadik U'mebakesh La'hamito" – "The evil one eyes the righteous person and seeks to have him killed." The "evil one" is the Yeser Ha'ra, that endeavors to bring about the righteous person's spiritual demise by luring him to sin. The Gemara then says that if not for Hashem's help, we would be unable to withstand the challenges posed by our evil inclination. This is inferred from the next verse, which states, "Hashem Lo Ya'azbenu Be'yado, Ve'lo Yarshi'enu Be'hushafeto" – "G-d does not leave him in its hands, and He will not convict him when he is judged." Rav Moshe Alshich raises the question as to the meaning of the end of this second verse – "He will not convict him when he is judged." Why does this need to be said? If the individual refrains from sin, and does not succumb to the lures of his evil inclination, then why would we have thought that he would be "convicted"? The answer, the Alshich explains, is that since the person abstains from wrongdoing only through G-d's help, we would think that he should be held responsible as though he committed the forbidden act. As it was G-d who gave him the strength and wherewithal to resist temptation, logic seems to dictate that he should receive no credit for abstaining. The verse therefore teaches that Hashem, in His infinite love and compassion, gives us all the credit for our spiritual successes, even though they were made possible only because of His gracious assistance. Despite the fact that we depend on His help to withstand our Yeser Ha'ra, Hashem rewards us as though we did it all ourselves. Rav Moshe Alshich explains Yaakob's blessing to Yosef on this basis. He writes that Yaakob was referring to the test that Yosef withstood – the test posed by Potifar's wife, who tried luring him to have an inappropriate relationship. The Gemara (Sota 36b) tells that Yosef nearly succumbed to her advances, but then his father, Yaakob, appeared to him and implored him to abstain. It thus emerges that Yosef refrained from sin only thanks to Yaakob's assistance. Rav Moshe Alshich explains that this is the meaning of the phrase, "Me'Kel Avicha" – that Yosef's success in resisting temptation came "from" Yaakob, who intervened to rescue him. Yaakob then added, "Ve'yazreka" – that G-d would nevertheless continue granting Yosef assistance. Yosef would not be punished, and would not be denied Hashem's love and grace, despite the fact that he needed his father's help to refrain from wrongdoing. Whenever we confront any sort of spiritual challenge, we must remember that religious life is fraught with such challenges, that we are supposed to confront these tests, and that Hashem is always helping us. Moreover, we must remember that Hashem values and cherishes the efforts we make to overcome these challenges and do the right thing. He is there to help us – but this does not in any way diminish from the greatness of the work we put in to stay on course and refrain from improper behavior.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Muerte de Pelé) No había cumplido aún los dieciséis años cuando debutó en el club Santos del Brasil y marcó su primer gol como profesional. A diferencia de otros jugadores de renombre a escala mundial, permaneció en el mismo club casi toda su carrera, con el que ganó dos Copas Libertadores de América y dos Copas Intercontinentales. Pero sus triunfos más satisfactorios los obtuvo Pelé con su Selección Nacional, con la que conquistó tres títulos mundiales jugando al lado de los gigantes del fútbol brasileño de su época, entre ellos Mario Zagallo, Garrincha, Didí, Vavá y Zito. En sus primeros dos mundiales, Suecia 1958 y Chile 1962, Pelé tuvo la distinción de ser el jugador más joven en llegar a ser campeón y bicampeón del mundo. A lo largo de su carrera fue un prodigioso goleador, marcando 1282 goles en 1366 partidos jugados, 77 de éstos representando a su país: más que ningún otro en la historia de la Seleção brasileira. Con razón a Edson Arantes do Nascimento, «O Rei» Pelé, se le ha considerado indiscutiblemente, durante casi toda su vida profesional, como el mejor jugador de fútbol de la historia. Pelé se despidió del fútbol internacional en el mítico Estadio Azteca en la final de México 1970. Cerrando su participación con broche de oro, tuvo una actuación incomparable contra Italia. En el minuto 18 marcó de cabeza uno de los goles más memorables de todos los mundiales, rematando, raso y potente, un pase letal de Rivelino, que venía con efecto. A la postre, los hábiles cariocas, que de paso se robaron el corazón de los mexicanos, golearon 4 a 1 a la cuasi-infranqueable defensa italiana, y se convirtieron en el primer seleccionado en coronarse campeón en tres copas del mundo. Pelé y sus compañeros del scratch du oro se dieron el lujo de pasear la Copa Jules Rimet por el césped del Azteca, sin imaginarse jamás que lo que no logró ese día la escuadra azzurri, lo conseguiría otro enemigo, años más tarde, en su propia casa. Un contrario desconocido habría de arrebatarle la copa al equipo campeón, robando el codiciado trofeo de la sede de la Confederación Brasileña de Fútbol en Río de Janeiro, de modo que desaparecería por completo. Gracias a Dios, en el campo de juego espiritual, los que somos seguidores de Cristo, cuales trofeos que Él ganó como resultado del juego decisivo en que venció a su archienemigo Satanás, no tenemos que temer que ni el diablo ni ningún otro contrario desconocido algún día pudieran arrebatarnos de nuestro dueño. Porque esa victoria que Cristo obtuvo mediante su muerte y resurrección lo acredita como nuestro pastor, y a los que somos de su rebaño, Él nos asegura que nunca pereceremos, y que, a diferencia de lo que pasó con la Copa en manos de la Confederación Brasileña de Fútbol, nadie jamás podrá arrebatarnos de su mano.1 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Jn 10:10‑14,25‑29; 16:33; Heb 2:14‑17

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

In Siman 682, The Shulhan Aruch outlines the Halachot of inserting the special Hanukah addition of "Al Hanissim" in the Tefilot and Birkat Hamazon. One issue is whether it is permissible for the Shliah Sibbur to remind the congregation to insert "Al Hanisim" in the middle of Arbit. Does announcing "Al Hanisim", after the Kaddish before the Amidah, constitute a Hefsek (interruption) of the Tefila? In Siman 236:2, Maran rules that it is permissible to do so for "Ya'aleh V'Yavo" on Rosh Hodesh. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) there adds that this applies to "Al Hanisim" on Hanukah as well. The Ner Sion, agrees with this, according to the letter of the law, since it is done "L'sorekh Tefila"-for the purpose of prayer, it is not considered a Hefsek (interruption). The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) in Parashat Pekudeh brings down that this was the custom of some communities. However, the accepted custom is not to announce "Al Hanisim," but rather, the first person to reach "Al Hanisim" in the silent Amidah raises his voice to remind the rest of the congregation. If one forgot to insert "Al Hanisim" in the Amidah, he is not required to repeat the Amidah. The Poskim discuss whether it is better to skip "Al Hanisim" in order to complete the Amidah in time to recite the "Nakdishach," which according to some authorities is a fulfillment of the Torah obligation to sanctify God's name. Their conclusion is that one should continue to pray the full text of the Amidah and not skip "AL Hanisim" since that is the Misva that he is currently engaged in. If one inserted the "Al Hanisim in the wrong place, for example he said it in the beracha of "Reseh," where Ya'aleh V'Yavo is usually inserted, he must say it again in the correct place-the Beracha of "Modim." The Sha'ar Ha'siyun (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) in 682:2 rules that the insertion of "Al Hanisim" in the wrong place does not constitute a Hefsek (interruption) that would require him to repeat the entire Amidah. The Hachamim did not institute a Hanukah insertion in Beracha "Me'en Shalosh"-the Beracha after snacks, and there is much discussion as to why that is. There are numerous variant versions of the text of the "Al Hanisim." Hacham Ovadia held that it should begin "V'Al Hanisim," whereas Hacham Bension held that the custom is to say "Al Hanisim." Some have the custom to say "Bimeh Matityah," without a Vav, instead of MatityahU. Some say "Matatyah," as is written in the Siddur "Kol Yaakov." However, our custom is to say "Matityah," which is the prevailing version. Some have the reading "L'Hashkiham," instead of "Le'shakeham." Some say "Toratach," as opposed to those who say, "MiToratach." Some say "Hashmona'ee," as opposed to those who read "Hashmonai." Each person should follow his tradition. SUMMARY One should not announce "Al Hanissim" during the Tefila to remind the congregation. "Al Hanisim" should not be skipped in order to finish the Amida in time to answer Nakdishach. If one inserted "Al Hanisim" in the wrong place, he must say it again in its proper place. There are many variant versions of the text of "AL Hanisim," and everyone should follow their tradition.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

We find an allusion to the Misva of Shofar in Parashat Nisavim, where the Torah warns, "Pen Yesh Bachem Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" – "Lest there is among you a root of evil of rebellion" (Debarim 29:17). The first letters of the phrase, "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'la'ana" are "Shin," "Peh," "Resh" and "Vav" – the letters of the word "Shofar." This allusion is very significant, as it expresses the unique power and impact of the Shofar blowing – namely, its ability to eliminate the "root" of evil within us. Before Adam's sin in Gan Eden, evil was separate from good; the human being was pure and good, and evil existed outside of him. But as a result of Adam's partaking from the forbidden tree, evil became ingrained within him, and since then, the good and evil inside us struggle with one another. The Shofar blowing, however, has the power to subdue the force of evil inside of us, so we can once again become perfectly good and pure. It eliminates the "Shoresh Poreh Rosh Ve'lana'a" – the "root of evil and rebellion" from which sin grows. This power of the Shofar sound is expressed in the number of sounds that we blow. The primary obligation of Shofar blowing requires blowing thirty sounds, which we do before Musaf. We blow additional sounds during Musaf, but the primary obligation is fulfilled through the first thirty sounds. The reason for the thirty sounds is because the Torah mentions three times the obligation to sound a "Teru'a," and the Sages inferred from the text that every Teru'a must be preceded and followed by a Teki'a. Therefore, in principle, we should blow nine Shofar sounds – blowing three times a series of Teki'a, Teru'a, and another Teki'a. However, the Talmud records three different opinions as to what the Torah means by the word "Teru'a." One view maintains that this refers to what we call a Teru'a – a series of very short sounds – whereas another opinion is that it means a Shebarim – three medium-sized sounds. According to the third view, the Biblical term Teru'a refers to a combination of a Shebarim and Teru'a ("Shebarim-Teru'a"). In order to satisfy all three opinions, we blow all three Teru'a sounds. It thus emerges that we blow thirty sounds: three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teru'a-Teki'a (3X4=12); three sets of Teki'a-Shebarim-Teki'a (3X3=9); and three sets of Teki'a- Teru'a-Teki'a (3X3=9) – for a total of 30 (12+9+9). The Gemara establishes that the Teru'a sound – however it is defined – must be at least the length of nine "Trumitin" – brief sounds. Moreover, the Teki'a must be the same length as the Teru'a. As such, when we blow thirty Shofar sounds, we blow 270 Trumitin (30X9). This number is the Gematria (numerical value) of the word "Ra" – "evil." By blowing these 270 sounds, we subdue the forces of "Ra" within us so our innate goodness can prevail. Of course, our primary intention when we hear the Shofar is to fulfill the Torah obligation to hear the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah. However, we should be aware of the fact that there are many profound ideas and powers associated with this previous Misva, and that it gives us the spiritual strength that we need to subjugate our evil inclination and allow the goodness within us to shine.

Episode 191: Not So Blurry Creatures Show NotesSummary: Photographic evidence of cryptids often looks taken with shaky hands or poor cameras. In this day and age, with iPhones and improved cameras around us all the time, you'd think clear photographic evidence would be everywhere. In a nod to our fellow podcasters Luke and Nate, many of these photos of Bigfoot and even UFOs remain “blurry creatures.” However, the Bible paints an unmistakably clear picture of creatures and entities in the spiritual realm. We can see them through the lens of Scripture, a more reliable source due to its divine inspiration and historical accuracy. Despite the skepticism surrounding these creatures and entities, let's look at some not-so-blurry creatures!This episode Is brought to you by the following Bible Mysteries Podcast Premium Subscribers or Seekers:Jessica Thompson, John Knox, Robert McDonald, Heather Meeks, and Chanda FiskNotes:Serpent: נָחָשׁ nāḥāš (naw-khawsh') - serpent, snakeNun, Chet, Shin (Seed, Fence, Destroy)וְהַנָּחָשׁ “and the snake” - Vav, Heh, Nun, Chet, Shin (Nail, Breath, Seed, Fence, Destroy)The very name of the serpent foreshadows him being destroyed by Christ on the cross.

Could some creatures be genetically manipulated hybrids that can step in and out of the spiritual realm? Is that why we have never been able to capture them? Perhaps they can step through portals at their will. One day, God will reveal the answers to His saints, but until then, we walk by faith and believe the Scriptures.

Parashat Shemini- Nissan A Month of Teshuba

Insight of the Week

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 4, 2024


On the Shabbat preceding Rosh Hodesh Nissan, we read the section in the Torah (Shemot 12) which tells of Beneh Yisrael's preparations for the night of Yesiat Misrayim (the Exodus from Egypt). This section begins with G-d commanding Moshe and Aharon, “Ha'hodesh Ha'zeh Lachem Rosh Hodashim” – “This month is for you the first of the months” (Shemot 12:2). We are to regard Nissan, the month in which Yesiat Misrayim took place, as the first of the twelve months. Rav Baruch of Medzhybizh (grandson of the Ba'al Shem Tob, Ukraine, 1753-1811) noted the fact that in this verse, the month of Nissan is referred to as “Ha'hodesh Ha'zeh” (“this month”). Later in this Parasha (13:5), the Torah commands, “Ve'abadeta Et Ha'aboda Ha'zot Ba'hodesh Ha'zeh” – literally, “You shall perform this service in this month.” The simple meaning of this verse is that Beneh Yisrael were to perform the same sacrifice which they performed on the night of the Exodus – the Korban Pesach – each year on Pesach. However, Rav Baruch offers a deeper interpretation of this verse, explaining that it speaks of two months – the month of “Zot” and the month of “Zeh.” The word “Zeh,” as mentioned, alludes to the month of Nissan. The word “Zot,” meanwhile, alludes to the month of Tishri, the month of repentance and atonement. The Torah in the Book of Vayikra (16:3) says about the special Yom Kippur service in the Bet Ha'mikdash, “Be'zot Yabo Aharon El Ha'kodesh” (“With this shall Aharon enter the Sanctuary”) – and thus the word “Zot” is associated with the service performed by the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur. Hence, Rav Baruch explains, the command “Ve'abadeta Et Ha'aboda Ha'zot Ba'hodesh Ha'zeh” means that we are to observe the service of “Zot” – the process of repentance that characterizes the month of Tishri – during “Ha'hodesh Ha'zeh,” in the month of Nissan. This month, like the month of Tishri, is to be a month of repentance, when we work to improve ourselves and draw closer to Hashem. Of course, these two months are very different from one another. Tishri is a time of solemn, fearful introspection, whereas Nissan is a time of festive celebration. In Tishri, we are to perform Teshuba Mi'yir'a – repentance driven by the fear of judgment, whereas in Nissan, we are to perform Teshuba Me'ahaba – repentance driven by love for Hashem, recognizing His abundant grace and kindness which He showers upon us. Developing this point further, Hashem freed our ancestors from Egyptian bondage without their having deserved redemption. Tradition teaches that Beneh Yisrael were submerged in the pagan culture in Egypt, and had fallen to the “forty-ninth level of impurity.” And yet, despite their low spiritual level, G-d mercifully performed miracles to redeem them. Nissan is a time of Hashem's unlimited love and compassion, and we are thus to joyfully repent, recognizing His boundless mercy and affection. The Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria, Safed, 1534-1572) taught that the Name of Havaya, which expresses G-d's attribute of compassion and kindness, can be configured in twelve different ways. This Name is comprised of four letters – “Yod,” “Heh,” “Vav” and “Heh” – and these four letters can be arranged in twelve different sequences. Each of these twelve arrangements, the Arizal established, corresponds to a different month. Tishri, the month of judgment, is associated with the reverse spelling of this Name (“Heh,” “Vav,” “Heh,” “Yod”). During this month, G-d's quality of strict judgment – the opposite of His attribute of compassion – prevails, and thus this month is signified by the reversal of the Name of Havaya. Nissan, by contrast, corresponds to the straight spelling of this Name (“Yod,” “Heh,” “Vav,” “Heh”). This is the month when Hashem's compassion and love are most clearly manifest, and so it is associated with the straightforward spelling of “Havaya.” Let us all ensure to take full advantage of the special Teshuba opportunity presented by this month, and commit ourselves during the coming weeks to work toward enhancing our relationship with Hashem, correcting our faults, and striving to be the best people we are capable of being.

A friend recently shared me a remarkable passage from the Torah commentary of Rav Eliezer of Worms (Germany, 1176-1238), known as the "Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah," who was a disciple of Rabbenu Yehuda Ha'ahasid (author of Sefer Ha'hasidim, 1150-1217), and a teacher of the Ramban (Rav Moshe Nahmanides, Spain, 1194-1270). (The Hida, in Shem Ha'gedolim, tells that the teachings transmitted by Rabbenu Yehuda Ha'hasid to Rav Eliezer of Worms originate from Shimon Ha'pakuli, one of the Tanna'im.) Commenting on the verse in Parashat Vayehi, "Va'yebarech Otam" ("He blessed them" – Bereshit 49:28), which refers to the blessings which Yaakob Abinu granted his sons before his death, the Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah observed that the word "Otam" is written with the letter "Vav." It could have just as well been written without this letter, and thus the Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah finds great significance to this letter in the context of Yaakob's blessing. He explained that all blessings in the Torah are given on condition. Whenever we find in the Torah a promise of great success or prosperity, the promise is made on condition that we faithfully obey Hashem's commands. However, the Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah writes, the extra letter "Vav" in the phrase "Va'yebarech Otam" alludes to six blessings (as the letter "Vav" has the numerical value of 6) which mark an exception to this rule – namely, the six blessings of Birkat Kohanim. When the Kohanim bless the congregation, they pronounce six blessings – "Yebarechecha," "Ve'yishmarecha," "Ya'er," "Vi'yhuneka," "Yisa," and "Yasem." These six blessings, the Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah teaches, are unconditional. We don't have to earn them. No matter how deserving or undeserving we are, we are granted these blessings. This teaching of one of our Rishonim (Medieval sages) should bring our appreciation of Birkat Kohanim to an entirely new level. When we stand in front of the Kohanim as they pronounce their blessing, we receive them irrespective of our "record," regardless of any sins we might have committed. This is a very special blessing which we receive each day directly and unconditionally from Hashem, and we should celebrate this great privilege, and take full advantage of it. This is particularly meaningful for our community, which follows the custom of having the Kohanim bless the congregation each and every day (and not only on festivals, as is done in Ashkenazic communities). We are so fortunate to be able to receive this special blessing, which does not depend on our merits. Incidentally, this passage also gives us a glimpse into the remarkable "Ru'ah Ha'kodesh" of our great sages. From just a single letter – the letter "Vav" – the Ba'al Ha'Roke'ah was able to deduce this profound insight into the unique nature of Birkat Kohanim, undoubtedly testifying to his exalted level of understanding and insight.

The Kansas City Chiefs victory parade turned deadly and injurious to dozens of people on Valentine's Day, marking not only a shocking tragedy but a truly bloody Valentine. Strangely enough, the odd series of number patterns that appeared during Super Bowl weekend, were also present in reports of the shooting. Headline after headline reported different totals of victims - those injured, those killed, children, those being treated at hospitals - all in a manner where the numbers added to 22 and 25, the score of the big game, or to 13 or 33. These numbers appear in the inconsistent reports about the parade shooting: NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 23 injured and 2 taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. An early article reported before arrests were announced that 22 were injured. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl. Such number synchronicity may not be a conspiracy, but instead a result of some influential force acting behind the scenes of human affairs - what Helena Blavatsky called the Secret Chiefs. The word ‘Chief' is also used in the ancient Jewish text called Talmud, where such a titled referred to anyone who stood against Israel, particularly the goyim, and how they should be killed. Tract 57a of the Talmud says their “ashes are gathered” and scattered, another odd link to Ash Wednesday. Maybe Joe Buck of ESPN, veteran play-by-play voice for "Monday Night Football," was on to something when he said this of the Super Bowl: "There's going to be some story. There's going to be something that happens because it's Vegas, and it won't stay in Vegas. It's going to be a big something that happens. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. I just think that is going to be a mess in my mind." Statement made by the KC Chiefs - calling the shooting “senseless violence” - and the KC Police Chief - “people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment” - suggest we dismiss the motivations behind these events and further live in a fantasy where no violence ever occurs: remember when a homemade gun as used to kill former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe? The shootings took place in front of 800 officers, too, and it took a few bystanders to tackle a shooter despite laws against such gun violence. California's governor immediately vomited: “We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prevent gun violence nationwide.” The irony here is that the 2nd Amendment gave those bystanders the right to tackle one of the shooters. It's not the first shooting at a championship parade either, as others occurred in the wake of NBA and MLB celebrations as well. If violence of this sort of is planned by those other than ‘crazies', it would make far more sense to carry it out in the parade rather than the event itself since doing so would be too costly for the leagues, advertisers, etc. On our Super Bowl show, we discussed the ER in “super” and the “o” in Bowl and Champions being a different font than the rest of the letters. In Hebrew the strange E was two of the letters BET adding to 22, while the strange R was comprised of VAV and QOPH for a total 25. This was the score of the game. ERO is also the name of the god of love and passion we call cupid, who carries a bow and arrow (ero) - pronunciation reminds us of Arrowhead Stadium and the KC Chiefs logo. ERO is the quintessential Secret Chief, influencing our love from behind the scenes. Oddly, Valentine's Day was only 3 days after the Super Bowl. While 22 means ‘balance', the number 25 signifies a romantic passion associated directly with Valentine's Day and cupid or ERO.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Teruma | Just a Vav: Rashi and Textual Criticism, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why is Rashi explaining a "Vav" that isn't there? (Shemot 25:22).  Rashi's comment on Shemot 25:22, explaining the letter "vav" in the word ואת as being superfluous, has raised eyebrows over the centuries...since in our Sifrei Torah, the word is את, without a Vav. We identify other Rishonim who apparently had that reading in their text of the Torah and then review those supercommentaries of Rashi who addressed this unusual note. This leads us to a discussion of the phenomenon of textual variants in Tanakh and the fact that it is not an isolated phenomenon; we see examples of this in the manner in which Biblical texts are quoted in Chazal as well as the well-known story of the three Sifrei Torah found in the Azara, each of which had one unique feature relative to the other two, leading the Chakhamim to favor the two over the one. The unexpected result was that each of these scrolls was ultimately judged to be invalid.  Source sheet >>

Even if one is studying Torah when the time for the Hanukah candle lighting comes, he should stop learning and go light candles, rather than appoint somebody to do it in his stead. The entire purpose of Torah study is to prepare us to serve G-d, and thus when the time comes to light the Hanukah candles, which is how we are to serve Hashem at that moment, we must do so. Although it is told that Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai used all his time for Torah learning without ever stopping, except for Biblical obligations such as Keri'at Shema, this practice is reserved for those on his unique level of diligence. Nobody can claim such a stature, and in fact even serious students of Torah routinely interrupt their studies for mundane purposes such as to get a cup of coffee, answer a phone call, and so on. Clearly, then, it would be wholly inappropriate for somebody to suddenly claim that he is too diligent a student to interrupt his studies for an important Misva such as Hanukah candle lighting. One should light the Hanukah candles with genuine emotion and excitement, and not out of rote. We must remind ourselves when we light that the miracle was performed for us, as we would likely not be observant Jews today if the Hanukah miracle had not occurred. We might draw a comparison to the Halacha requiring one to recite a Beracha when arriving at a place where a miracle happened to his father, his grandfather or his Rabbi – "Baruch She'asa Nes Le'abi Ba'makom Ha'zeh" (or "Le'zkeni" or "Le'rabbi"). Since he would not have been born if his father or grandfather had not been saved – and one would not have been taught if his Rabbi had not been saved – he must recognize how the miracle directly affected him. Similarly, our existence as Torah-observant Jews is a direct result of the Hanukah miracle, and thus when we light the candles we must feel that we give praise and thanks for a miracle that was performed for us. One should gather his entire family for the lighting of the Hanukah candles. It is not proper for one person to light while the rest of the family members are going about their ordinary business. The candle lighting must be a family event. It is preferable to use olive oil for the Hanukah candle lighting, and fortunately, olive oil today is readily available, and one can even purchase a readymade set of cups of oil with wicks for the Hanukah candle lighting. It must be noted, however, that the act of lighting should be done with a wax candle. This is mentioned by Rabbi Haim Hakohen of Halab (Aleppo), who was a student of the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572). The Arizal explained that when we light the Hanukah candles, we bring 370 lights from the upper worlds down into our world. This is symbolized by the Hebrew word "Sha'ava" (wax), as the first two letters ("Shin" and "Ayin") have a combined numerical value of 370, and the final two letters – "Vav" and "Heh" – which are the final two letters of the Name of "Havaya," represent our world. By using a wax candle to perform the act of lighting, we express the fact that we are bringing 370 lights down into our world. (Listen to audio recording for precise citation from the work Torah Lishmah, 476.) Incidentally, for the same reason the Arizal taught that if somebody is ill, Heaven forbid, or faces some other personal problem, he should light two wax candles next to the Hechal in the synagogue, in order to bring the heavenly blessings upon him. Summary: One should light the Hanukah candles when the time arrives even if he is at that moment engaged in Torah study. The lighting should be done with the entire family together, and with genuine joy borne out of the recognition that we directly benefit from the Hanukah miracle. It is preferable to fuel the Hanukah lights with olive oil, but the act of lighting should preferably be performed with a wax candle.
