Bad Jew
What is The Zohar? with Rabbi Natan Halevy

How familiar are you with Torah? It's an important question because a lot of people simply remember the grand journey Moses takes and how he leads the people to Israel, and boom! You have the Torah. But it's so much more. In fact, outside of the 5 books of Moses you have The Talmud and Kabbalah and you have Pirkei Avot and you have this thing called Oral Torah versus Written Torah. Somewhere within the wide scope of what's considered Torah, you'll come across this book and wonder what's so special about this guy named Zohar.  The mysteries and wisdom of The Zohar is well known and studied by Rabbi Natan Halevy. His precise and detailed work has been a lifetime achievement passed down from generation to generation within his family. Rabbi Halevy teaches Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, the depths, teachings, and relevance of this essential piece in Jewish literature.   00:00 Introduction 07:13 Oral Torah 10:04 Essential teachings 14:53 The power in reading 19:04 Zohar predicts cell phone addiction 22:30 Connection to Israel, Torah, and God deeply 24:39 Balancing study with life's responsibilities is challenging. 28:08 Alleviating depression, spreading holiness. 32:42 God's existence is fundamental 33:41 Practicing mystical teachings today About Rabbi Natan Halevy: I grew up in Los Angeles, and with my parents and siblings, attended Kahal Joseph where I had my Bar Mitzvah in 1994. As the child of Iraqi parents, I have a powerful sense of the strong culture and traditon I come from. In 2005 I received my Rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yitchak Yaroslavsky at Yeshivat Tomchei Tmimim in Israel. I then served as an assistant Rabbi in Chabad of Great Neck, NY before I returned to Los Angeles in 2008. I love studying all facets of Torah—from the Bible to the Talmud to the inner parts of Torah. I also have knowledge of many other modalities and philosophies that I feel may support us as Jews and people in this modern day and age. My wife Bracha and our children – Yosef Hayim, Menucha, Menachem, Noam, and Shimon – are very happy to be working with the wonderful Kahal Joseph community.

Bechukosai: Ibn Kaspi on Why the Written Torah Doesn't Mention Olam ha'Ba

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 33 minutesSynopsis: This morning (5/31/24), in the FIRST of our Friday morning Machshavah Lab shiurim for women, we took up an old problem: Why is Olam ha'Ba only mentioned in Torah she'baal Peh but not Torah she'bi'Chsav. I wrote an article a few years ago in which I summarized seven views on this topic from the Rishonim along with one view of my own (see the show notes for a link to the article). I began this morning's shiur with a BRIEF overview of those eight answers, and then we read and discussed a ninth answer I recently discovered in R' Yosef ibn Kaspi's commentary on this week's parashah. In addition to being a thought-provoking answer in its own right, I think his explanation has far-reaching implications for our methodology of learning Torah she'bi'Chsav, but perhaps that should be another shiur.-----מקורות:אברבנאל - ויקרא כו:גhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/parashas-bechukosai-what-about-afterlifeר"י אבן כספי – ויקרא פרק כורמב"ן - בראשית א:א-ב-----The Torah content this week has been dedicated by me in honor of Ann with gratitude for her monthly support of my Torah content and in celebration of her engagement to Ben.

התוכן בסיום מסכת מגילה, לאחרי שמביאה הגמ' את דברי המשנה "וידבר משה את מועדי ה' אל בני ישראל, מצותן שיהיו קורין אותן כל אחד ואחד בזמנו", מסיימת הגמ': "ת"ר משה תיקן לישראל שיהיו שואלין ודורשין בענינו של יום, הלכות פסח בפסח, הלכות עצרת בעצרת, הלכות חג בחג" (שנוסף שבכל יו"ט צריכים לקרוא פסוקים בתושב"כ מעניני המועד, צריכים גם לדרוש בהלכות המועד בתושבע"פ). זה שלא נזכר כאן ר"ה ויוהכ"פ (שנימנו בפרשה שבסיומה הפסוק "וידבר משה וגו'") יובן עפ"י המובן משו"ע אדה"ז שהענין ד"שואלין ודורשין בהלכות הפסח קודם הפסח ל' יום וכו'" הוא כדי ללמוד את דיני החג, הן של ההכנות להחג והן של החג עצמו, משא"כ הענין ד"שואלין ודורשין . . הלכות פסח בפסח וכו'" הוא "בענינו של יום נס הנעשה בו ביום". אלא שמכיון שאוספים כבר את הציבור בשביל זה, מנצלים את ההזדמנות גם כדי לדרוש ולחזור עוה"פ על דיני החג. אבל בר"ה ויוהכ"פ אין ענין של נס שבשבילו יש לאסוף את הציבור (ואת דיני החג כבר למדו לפנ"ז). ב' חלקים משיחת פורים ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-05-2024 Synopsis The Mishna states, “‘And Moshe told the Jewish people the appointed festivals of Hashem' – the mitzvah is that they should read each one in its time.” On this the Gemara says: “Our Sages taught, Moshe enacted for the Jewish people that they should inquire and expound upon the laws of Pesach on Pesach, the laws of Shavuos on Shavuos, and the laws of Sukkos on Sukkos” (that is, in addition to the requirement to read from the Torah on each Yom Tov the verses in the Written Torah about that day, they must also expound upon the laws in the Oral Torah). The reason it doesn't mention Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur here (although they, too, are mentioned in the passage upon which the law is based, “And Moshe told…”) can be understood from the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch, where he writes the requirement of “inquiring and expounding upon the laws of Pesach before Pesach for thirty days” etc. is in order to learn the laws of the holiday (including the preparations for the holiday as well as the laws of the holiday itself), in contrast to the requirement of “inquiring and expounding on Pesach” itself., which is about “the theme of the day—the miracle that happened on that day.” Just that since the community is already being gathered to expound upon the miracles (on Yom Tov itself), the opportunity is used to once again review the laws. But on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur there is no requirement to gather the community because there is no miracle of the day upon which to expound (and there is no need to gather the community to discuss the laws, which they have already learned during the previous thirty days).Two excerpts from sichah of Purim 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-05-2024 לע"נ מרת מלכה רייזל בת הרה"ח ר' מרדכי דובער ע"ה ראזענפעלד ליום היארצייט שלה ט' אייר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנה הרב מנחם מענדל הכהן שי' ראזענפעלדלע”נ הרה"ח הרה"ת ר' דובער ע"ה יוניק ליום היארצייט שלו ט' אייר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' דוד שי' יוניק

They establish committees to discuss matters of Torah and Halacha, while ensuring in advance what the decision will be (they do it via majority vote, to make it seem like it was properly deliberated etc.), and the decision is to make changes to the siddur, that in order to bring Jews “closer” to Yiddishkeit they should be encouraged to drive to shul on Shabbos, which involves biblical prohibitions. And for what – to hear the “rabbi” talk about politics and the like. I saw the text of one rabbi's Rosh Hashana sermon; it discussed everything but matters of fear of heaven…when he asked me what I thought about the sermon I told him, even according to your own opinion – why did you base the sermon on non-Jewish books, when it says the same idea in the Written Torah? And what will he answer when his grandson asks – if his grandson ends up receiving a Jewish education – how he forgot a verse from the Tanakh?!Excerpt from sichah of Motz'aei Shabbos Parashas Shemini, Mevarchim Iyar 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-05-2024

The Pharisees accused Yeshua of breaking the Sabbath in the First Century. They were developing their own system of interpretation of the Written Torah, which became known as the Oral Torah. The accusations had more to do with their own authority and man-made laws than the commandments of God.

Paul had a realization long before the Oral Torah was codified. He understood that man-made rules are not Torah. While customs, traditions, guidelines, and rules are not inherently bad, they become problematic when people add their own man-made rules to God's commandments and treat them as equal to the Written Torah.

Early Judaism is often described as the religion of the book par excellence—a movement built around the study of the Bible and steeped in a culture of sacred bookishness that evolved from an unrelenting focus on a canonical text.  But in The Closed Book: How the Rabbis Taught the Jews (Not) to Read the Bible (Princeton University Press, 2023), Dr. Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg argues that Jews didn't truly embrace the biblical text until nearly a thousand years after the Bible was first canonized. She tells the story of the intervening centuries during which even rabbis seldom opened a Bible and many rabbinic authorities remained deeply ambivalent about the biblical text as a source of sacred knowledge. Dr. Wollenberg shows that, in place of the biblical text, early Jewish thinkers embraced a form of biblical revelation that has now largely disappeared from practice. Somewhere between the fixed transcripts of the biblical Written Torah and the fluid traditions of the rabbinic Oral Torah, a third category of revelation was imagined by these rabbinic thinkers. In this “third Torah,” memorized spoken formulas of the biblical tradition came to be envisioned as a distinct version of the biblical revelation. And it was believed that this living tradition of recitation passed down by human mouths, unbound by the limitations of written text, provided a fuller and more authentic witness to the scriptural revelation at Sinai. In this way, early rabbinic authorities were able to leverage the idea of biblical revelation while quarantining the biblical text itself from communal life. The result is a revealing reinterpretation of “the people of the book” before they became people of the book. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Lesson 4 Halachah Halachah is the “bottom line” of Torah, where the biblical commandments, rabbinical ordinances, and Talmudic deliberations translate into the dos and don'ts of daily life. Halachah addresses every part of a Jew's life, from waking to bedtime, from birth to burial, from everyday activities to the most extraordinary situations. In this lesson, we explore the history of Halachah, from its sources in the Written Torah, through the Halachic Midrashim, the Talmud and its commentaries, the various “codes” compiled through the centuries, and the many thousands of Halachic responsa authored through the centuries. We survey the great variety of issues and dilemmas that Halachah addresses. We then bring it all to life via a case study that traces a Halachic issue from its biblical origins through more than a dozen citations across the entire spectrum of Halachic literature. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mendy-goldberg/support

Book Smart: Course through Judaism's Most Important Titles, and the Authors Who Inscribed Them Lesson One - The Torah We begin by addressing the question, “What is the Torah?” We discover how the whole of Jewish teaching (“the Torah” in its broader meaning) derives from the Chumash (“the Torah” in its narrower meaning). We also discuss the relationship between the “Written Torah” and the “Oral Torah,” and how these two components of Torah constitute a “partnership” of Divine revelation and human toil of the mind. We then introduce the twenty-four books of the Tanach. We explain the differences between Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim, and review the contents of each. We also see how the roots of the different “genres” of Torah—Midrash, Halachah, Kabbalah, Musar, etc.—are all in the “Written Torah,” as will be further demonstrated in each of the next five lessons. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mendy-goldberg/support

In celebration of Shabbos Shiroh, the Maharal of Prague would gather the children and tell them about the Splitting of the Sea, the fruit trees at the sea, the fruit of which were plucked by the children, who shared the food with the birds - who joined in the singing of שירת הים. Accordingly, the Maharal had grain distributed to the children, to feed to the chickens and the birds.[1] 2. Why is this custom not upheld nowadays?[2] 3. Our cat has caught on that whenever I take a snack, he's entitled to be fed first. Is he right, or is it only for main meals that animal feed takes precedence?[3] 4. This coming Monday is the 15th of Shevat. Do all exotic fruit warrant the brocho of שהחיינו?[4] 5. At the end of many Kehos sidurim there is chart depicting the line of transmission of the Torah, from Har Sinai until the Shulchan Oruch & commentaries. The chart lists the Baraysa above the Tosefta. Other sources imply that the Tosefta is earlier.[5] 6. Before Hodu, we read the Baraysa of R' Yishmoel, listing the 13 methods for extrapolation of Halocho from the Written Torah. Why is this text part of Davening?[6] 7. There is a widespread custom for pregnant woman refraining to go to a cemetery. What about visiting the Rebbe's Ohel?[7] 8. For many years, a local Jewish centre had on display a framed sheet of parchment that was a fragment from a Sefer Torah that was vandalised during the Holocaust. That centre has now closed and have given us the said frame. Are we permitted to put it on display, or should be placing it Genizah?[8] [1] ספר השיחות תש"ב ע' 73. מנהג זה מוזכר – לשלילה – במגן אברהם סי' שכד ס"ז, ובשוע"ר שם ס"ח. העולת שבת מקיל לתת אוכל בחורף דלא שכיח להו מזון.
