Matzah is a tricky food. It is made with the same ingredients as bread ; the only difference is the speed of how they are processed. The Torah tells us that we must guard the matzos to prevent them from turning into chametz. Our sages tell us that this applies not only to matzos, but also to The thing that is spelled the same way in Hebrew, Mitzvos. Mitzvah opportunities come as dough that needs to be baked. If you stick around and wait for too long, the dough will leaven and the opportunity will sour. When a Mitzvah opportunity strikes, you mustn't tarry even for a moment. In this special Yartzeit podcast, I share a remarkable story about my grandfather Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe's fulfillment of this idea.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Whether you're a radical Progressive or Traditionalist, are you ready to be Free? Join Jews and Gentiles, blacks and whites, progressives and traditionalists and return to April 4th 1969 (MLK's first Yartzeit) at Arthur Waskow's radical and controversial Freedom Seder. I recently picked up a first edition of this Mao-sized red booklet, and it's far more nuanced than I expected. Radical progressives will be surprised by its Jewish particularism and its defense of taking up arms to defend one's people. Traditionalists will be struck by how rooted it is in Rabbinic tradition and delighted by the meaningful rituals it re-introduces. We explore how Waskow, a typical 60's social activist who only later became a rabbi, created an "activist Midrash" that balances Jewish particularity with universal themes. Key Takeaways Universality meets particularity: Waskow's Haggadah balances universal themes with deeply Jewish elements, challenging both progressives and traditionalists Ritual innovations: The Freedom Seder introduces thought-provoking additions to the traditional Seder, including a moment of silent meditation before candle lighting. Nuanced perspectives: Waskow doesn't shy away from addressing difficult topics, including Jewish shortcomings and the complexities of liberation. Timestamps [00:00:05] — Introduction: Passover a year after MLK's assassination and the origin of the Freedom Seder. [00:04:07] — Arthur Waskow's background and path to becoming a rabbi through the Freedom Seder. [00:09:14] — Distinction between universal and Jewish themes in the Haggadah. [00:10:42] — Observations on the symbolism of unlit candles and the unique kiddush for Saturday night. [00:14:29] — Discussion on Waskow's reimagined translation of “Melech Haolam” and blessing reinterpretations. [00:19:08] — Story of Rabbi Mendel and the power of silence and speech in the Seder. [00:20:09] — Ritual of darkness and silence before candle lighting, using silence and speech as symbolic themes. [00:21:41] — Opening the door for Elijah and referencing Ha Lachma Anya with new interpretations. [00:24:25] — Reflecting on “Next year in Jerusalem” as both literal and metaphorical. [00:26:39] — Revolutionary themes in Moses' story and the broader message of activism and discomfort in liberation.

He did not serve in any official capacity, and his influence reverberated the world over. His personal piety was legendary. He was a saint, a veritable angel walking amongst men. His literary contributions altered the landscape of Jewish life. The modern sensitivity to all to all forms of Lashon Hara can be attributed to him. His monumental Mishnah Berurah systematized and clarified and organized practical Jewish law. His many other writings were vitally important to help the Jews of his time, and their impact and influence continues until this day.

VAYEISHEV Follow Your Dreams Yoseph's path to greatness is paved with dreams: he dreams dreams, he interprets dreams, and he brings dreams to fruition. At first, he dreams on his own; then, he interprets the dreams of the chief cupbearer and chief baker and advances them toward fulfillment; and finally, he actively becomes the person who brings Pharaoh's dreams to reality, thus beginning to fulfill his own dreams.

Many of the stories from the begin. of the shiur were shared by R. Moshe Tzvi Weinberg earlier in the year. 

As much as Reb Dov was a giant in Torah – a twenty-foot Moshe in his generation, so he was a Moshe in his generation in his humility and compassion. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Rabbi Kalish

Mishna Yomi - Bava Basra 2:5-6 L'uli Nishmas Etta Ahuva bas Yaakov Nov 11, 2024 Mon 10 Cheshvan 5785 Today commemorates the 1st Yartzeit of Etta Ahuva bas Yaakov, may he neshama have an aliya and her family a nechama.

As we approach the Yartzeit of October 7, to be observed this Thursday on Shmini Atzeret, we analyze two recent revelations about one of the reasons Hamas attacked when they did, based on Hamas meeting notes, and the experience of former hostage, Sapir Cohen. We then present the practical, concrete steps we need to take to protect ourselves from this danger, based on an article by Rabbi Yitzchak Blau.

Torah Class - Rosh Chodesh Av: Biblical Yartzeit Of all the holy people in the Torah, from Abraham to Moses, the Torah only mentions the yartzeit of one - Aaron. Why?

Who Should Fight False MaShiach: WAR OF AMALEK (8) https://youtu.be/9q9XRleP_fo On the Yartzeit of Rav Elchonon Wasserman we are going deeper into the War of Amalek by learning about the different types of Wars that need to fought, how to fight them and who should be fighting them. Am Yisrael has fought for its survival since the day of its creation, and many of our holidays and fasts are connected to those battles. Among the many battles were the battles against the heretics and false messiahs who tried to turn our people against HaShem. In the time of Amalek, the past battles will be repeated and following in the footsteps of the earlier Shepherds will be more important than ever, since our survival depends on it. Tune in to another installment of our monumental series, learn, enjoy, share and Be Holy.

Featured Lectures: Tuesday, July 9, 8:30 PM: Gimmel Tammuz Farbrengen Honoring the 30th Yartzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe LIVE at 20 Forshay Road, Monsey NY.

One of the most unfortunate events in our history is chronicled in this week's Parsha. The nation was on the doorstep of entering the Land of Canaan and actualizing the promise made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In an effort to not to rely on Divine miracles, Moshe commissioned 12 righteous men to reconnoiter the Land. The report that they returned with was devastating, eventually leading to the nation being condemned to spend 40 years in the wilderness. That storyline is told in our Parsha's beginning. It then transitions to talk about something very different: libations in sacrifices, the challah gift given to the Kohein, sacrifices for egregious sins, an episode of a person who gathered twigs on Shabbos resulting in his execution, and finally we read the third paragraph of the Shema, which talks about the Mitzvah of Tzitzis. Is there a central theme in our Parsha? On the surface it seems that the answer is no. In this podcast, we swim deep beneath the surface and discover some gems.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Parsha Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui Nishmas Yosef Binyamin ben Avraham Chaim, George Topas, whose fourth Yartzeit falls out on 19th of Sivan, the day that this podcast is being released.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Hilchos Hashavas Aveida Part 9: The Famous Reb Zusha Z”ya story!!! Rav Elyashiv Zt”l sent a siman on his yartzeit!!!! Shomer chinam or Sachar???

A leap year in the Jewish calendar is a year containing two months of Adar, to which we refer as "Adar Rishon" ("the first Adar") and "Adar Sheni" ("the second Adar"). If a person passes away, Heaven forbid, during the month of Adar Rishon in a leap year, then his Yartzeit (anniversary of his death) is observed on non-leap years on the corresponding day in the month of Adar. The exception to this rule, as Rav David Yosef (son of Hacham Ovadia Yosef) writes in his work Torat Ha'mo'adim (laws of Adar, p. 19), is when the individual passed away on the thirtieth day of Adar Rishon. The thirtieth of Adar Rishon is observed as the first day of Rosh Hodesh Adar Sheni, and therefore on non-leap years, the Yartzeit is likewise observed on the first day of Rosh Hodesh Adar – the thirtieth of Shevat. Even though the person died on the thirtieth of Adar Rishon, in determining the Yartzeit we focus on this day's status as the first day of Rosh Hodesh Adar Sheni, and thus the Yartzeit will be observed on the thirtieth day of Shevat, or the first day of Rosh Hodesh Adar. Of course, this applies only on non-leap years. On leap years, the family members will observe the Yartzeit on the actual date on which the individual passed away – the thirtieth of Adar Rishon.

Generally speaking, a Yartzeit – the anniversary of a family member's passing, on which several practices are observed in memory of the deceased – takes place on the calendar date on which the deceased family member had passed away. Thus, for example, if a person died, Heaven forbid, on the first day of the month of Tevet, his family members observe the Yartzeit every year thereafter on the first of Tevet. An exception to this rule is a case where the first year after the family member's passing is a leap year, meaning, it contains two months of Adar (Adar Alef and Adar Bet). The first Yartzeit after an individual's passing is observed twelve months after the death, which, during a leap year, occurs one month before the calendar date. For example, if a person passed away on the first of Tevet during a leap year, the first Yartzeit will be observed twelve months later – on the first of Kislev. Given the addition of a second Adar, the Yartzeit will be observed in Kislev, rather than in Tevet. In all subsequent years, however, the Yartzeit is observed on the calendar date, the first of Tevet. This is the ruling of Rav Shemuel Pinhasi (contemporary, Israel), in his work Haim Va'hesed (p. 343; listen to audio recording for precise citation). Summary: A Yartzeit is observed on the calendar date of a family member's passing; however, the first Yartzeit is observed twelve months after the passing, and thus if the first year is a leap year, the first Yartzeit will be observed exactly one month before the calendar date of the passing.

The Mishna in Masechet Megila (6b) establishes that in a leap year, which contains an extra month of Adar, the festival of Purim (which is normally celebrated in Adar) is observed during Adar Sheni (the "second Adar"). This means that all the Misvot associated with Purim – reading the Megila, sending Mishlo'ah Manot, giving money to the poor, and the festive meal – apply specifically on the fourteenth of Adar Sheni during a leap year. Nevertheless, it is customary to observe the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar Rishon as "Purim Katan" – literally, "minor Purim." On these days we omit the Tahanunim section of the prayer service, including the Viduyim (confessions). We also omit the paragraph of "La'menase'ah" and "Tefila Le'David" which are incongruous with the festive nature of these days. Tahanunim is likewise omitted from Minha on the afternoon of the thirteenth of Adar Rishon. When the fifteenth of Adar Rishon falls on Shabbat, we do not recite "Sidkatecha" during Minha. (The fourteenth of Adar never falls on Shabbat, but the fifteenth can occur on Shabbat.) It is forbidden to observe a fast on Purim Katan, even in observance of the Yartzeit of a parent, and even for Ashkenazic brides and grooms, who otherwise have the custom to fast on the day of their wedding. (This ruling is codified in the work Nimuke Orah Haim, 697.) Eulogies are also forbidden on Purim Katan, with the exception of eulogies delivered at the funeral of a Torah scholar. Going to work is permissible on Purim day itself, so it goes without saying that one may perform such activity on Purim Katan, as well. According to some authorities, it is proper to observe Purim Katan with some festivity and joyous celebration.

Parshat Beshalach: Why did Hashem drown the Mitzrim!?! Couldn't Rebbe Akiva just relight the famous candle!?! And the Yartzeit of the Holy author of the controversial Sefer אם הבנים שמחה!!!

We are speaking beings. In fact, the central differentiation between humanity and animals is the capacity of verbal communication. The judgment that we face in Heaven is largely about how we deployed our superpower, our speech. The greatest mitzvos are performed with speech and some of the most grievous transgressions are also a product of the spoken word. What about idle chit chat? What about ordinary conversation? Small talk? There is a lot of gray area of speech that doesn't immediately appear to be neither a mitzvah nor a sin. How are we to relate to this form of speech? In this Ethics Podcast we study the subject of speech and the Torah's guidance for how to properly balance it.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Ethics Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui Nishmas Yosef Binyamin ben Avraham Chaim, George Topas, whose third Yartzeit falls out on 19th of Sivan, the day that this podcast is being released. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
