התוכן במזמור ע"ח שבתהילים מצינו דבר פלא לכאו': התחלת המזמור (שמורה על תכליתו) הוא "האזינה עמי תורתי", וכמ"ש בהמשך המזמור גודל ההכרח בלימוד התורה ובקיום המצוות "ויקם עדות ביעקב ותורה שם בישראל" וכו', אבל בהמשך המזמור מקשר כ"ז בסיפור באריכות ובפרטיות אודות "נפלאותיו אשר עשה" בארץ מצרים, והמכות וכו'! עד שכו"כ ענינים שאומרים בהגדה בליל הסדר לומדים מפסוקים אלו שבמזמור זה. ובזה מודגש אפי' בתושב"כ גודל הענין דסיפור נפלאות יצ"מ, ע"י אמירת מזמור תהלים זה, עד שזהו "יסוד ועמוד חזק בתורתנו ובאמונתנו", שבזה קשור כל ענין שבתורה – "ויקם עדות ביעקב וגו'", ועד שבזה תלוי' הגאולה האמיתית והשלימה! כמ"ש בהמשך המזמור. ומזה עידוד לקיום הוראת כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר בנוגע לאמירת תהילים בכלל, וגודל הענין דאמירת תהלים ע"י היהודים הפשוטים, ה"תהילים אידן", או ע"י כו"כ מנשי ישראל המצטיינות באמירת תהילים (ודוד המלך ביקש ופעל שאמירת תהילים תפעל אותו דבר מה שנפעל ע"י לימוד נגעים ואהלות).ב' חלקים משיחת אור לי"ג ניסן ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-11-2025 Synopsis We find a seemingly wondrous thing in chapter 78 of Tehillim: The beginning of the chapter (which indicates its underlying theme and purpose) states, “Listen, my people, to my Torah,” and in that vein it goes on to discuss the importance of studying Torah and keeping mitzvos, “He established a testimony in Yaakov and He set down a Torah in Yisroel” etc. But then it ties this to a detailed account of “His wonders which He performed” in the land of Egypt, such that many passages in the Haggadah are derived from the verses in this chapter of Tehillim. Thus, even in the Written Torah we find an emphasis on the importance of telling the story of the wonders of the Exodus from Egypt, which is “a foundation and strong pillar in our Torah and of our faith,” which even the Redemption depends on, as it says later in the chapter. This also encourages us to fulfill the directive of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, about saying of Tehillim in general, and the significance of the Tehillim recited by the “Tehillim Yidden” and by Jewish women etc. (and Dovid HaMelech requested and brought about that saying Tehillim should have the same effect as studying even the deepest parts of Torah).2 excerpts from sichah of 13 Nissan 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-11-2025

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 40 minutesSynopsis: This morning (10/23/25), in lieu of our usual morning Mishlei, we had a Q&A session! We discussed the following three questions: (1) According to the Rambam, if Olam ha'Ba is non-physical, and if our desires only relate to physical enjoyments, how can we desire Olam ha'Ba? (2) What do we mean in the short vidui when we say ti'ta'nu, which some translate as "You have let us go astray"? (3) Should every person strive to attain the "Crown of Torah"? In going over these answers, I also shared my answer to the question of why the Written Torah doesn't mention Olam ha'Ba, as well as an insight I had into Kayin's sin. -----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ח:א,ו-ז; י:א-ברמב"ם - פירוש המשניות: הקדמה לפרק חלקקהלת ג:יט-כאעץ יוסף - וידויתנחומא - נח יטרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה ג:א,ו-----The Torah content for the remainder of October is sponsored by Yael Weiss in honor of her parents, and in celebration of her father's birthday (September 25 / 17 Tishrei).  -----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

The Medrash compares a field, which produces grain necessary for life, to the Written Torah and mitzvos that sustain the world through action, while an orchard, which is for pleasure, represents the Oral Torah—delving into Hashem's wisdom and innovating within it. Although all nations have laws and judges, what makes the Jewish people unique is that their judges not only enforce laws but also uncover the depths of Torah, connecting to Hashem's wisdom itself. This duality is reflected in Na'aseh v'Nishma: first doing what Hashem commands (the “field”), and then learning for the sake of grasping His wisdom (the “orchard”). By remaining humble and simple like a child, we merit to access Hashem's deepest pleasure—the depths of Torah. In Elul, the shofar embodies this: it inspires both awe and the beautification of our deeds, while its simple cry, like the Baal Shem Tov's parable of a child calling to his father, reaches directly to Hashem, Who alone recognizes and responds to our voice.לקו״ש כט-א

התוכן איתא בסיום מס' מכות: "כבר הי' ר"ג וראב"ע ור"י ור"ע מהלכין בדרך .. כיון שהגיעו להר הבית ראו שועל שיצא מבית קדשי הקדשים התחילו הן בוכין ור"ע מצחק .. אמרו לו מקום שכתוב בו והזר הקרב יומת ועכשו שועלים הלכו בו ולא נבכה, אמר להן לכך אני מצחק דכתיב ואעידה לי עדים נאמנים את אורי' הכהן ואת זכרי' בן יברכיהו, וכי מה ענין אורי' אצל זכרי' .. אלא תלה הכתוב נבואתו של זכרי' בנבואתו של אורי', באורי' כתיב לכן בגללכם ציון שדה תחרש בזכרי' כתיב עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים, עד שלא נתקיימה נבואתו של אורי' הייתי מתיירא שלא תתקיים נבואתו של זכרי', עכשיו שנתקיימה נבואתו של אורי' בידוע שנבואתו של זכרי' מתקיימת בלשון הזה. אמרו לו עקיבא ניחמתנו עקיבא ניחמתנו". ראי' זו שהביא ר"ע אינה על עצם ענין הגאולה ותחיית המתים, שה"ז מפורש בתושב"כ, אלא על אופנה: שהרי תחיית המתים כשלעצמו הי' יכול להיות באופן (רק) כמו שהי' בג"ע לפני החטא – ביטול ענין המיתה, ו(במילא) יקומו מלכתחילה בריאים וחזקים. אבל מנבואת זכרי' "עוד ישבו זקנים וזקנות ברחובות ירושלים" מוכח שאז יהי' חידוש נעלה יותר שאינו מוכרח – הענין דאתהפכא, שיקומו באופן של "זקנים וזקנות" והם יהיו חזקים עד ש"ישבו .. ברחובות ירושלים" (לא כדרך זקנים)! [המשך יבוא]ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2025 Synopsis The conclusion of Masechta Makkos states: “It once was that Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, Rabbi Yehoshua, and Rabbi Akiva were walking along the road…When they arrived at the Temple Mount, they saw a fox that emerged from the site of the Holy of Holies. They began weeping, and Rabbi Akiva was laughing…They said to him: This is the place of which it is written: “And the layman who approaches shall die,” and now foxes walk in it; and shall we not weep? He said to them: That is why I am laughing, as it is written: “And I will take to Me faithful witnesses to attest: Uriah the Kohen, and Zechariah ben Yevarchiyahu.” Now, what is the connection between Uriah and Zechariah…Rather, the verse hinged the fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah on the fulfillment of the prophecy of Uriah. In the prophecy of Uriah it is written: “Therefore, for your sake Tzion will be plowed as a field.” In Zechariah it is written: “There will yet be elderly men and elderly women sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim.” Until the prophecy of Uriah was fulfilled, I was afraid that the prophecy of Zechariah would not be fulfilled. Now that the prophecy of Uriah was fulfilled, it is evident that the prophecy of Zechariah remains valid. They said to him: Akiva, you have comforted us; Akiva, you have comforted us.” Rabbi Akiva here is not bringing proof for the Redemption and Techias Hameisim themselves, because they are stated explicitly in the Written Torah. Rather, he is bringing proof as to the manner in which they will occur: Conceptually, Techias Hameisim could occur in a manner similar to the state of Gan Eden before the sin, meaning, the abolition of death, as a result of which the dead would be resurrected in a state of optimum strength and health. But since Zechariah's prophecy states that “There will yet be elderly men and elderly women sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim,” that proves that there will be an even greater novelty – the fact that they will arise as “elderly men and elderly women,” and yet they will become strong enough to be “sitting in the streets of Yerushalayim” like young people. (To be continued).2 excerpts from sichah of Yud Shevat 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-08-2025 לע"נ מרת צבי' אדל בת ר' צבי ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלה י"ב מנחם-אב. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

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.
