Today's daf is sponsored by Rikki and Alan Zibitt in loving memory of their mothers, Helen Zibitt, Hena bat Yaacov v' Rachel Leah, whose 20th yahrzeit was 28 Adar and Friedl bat Meir v' Rivkah, whose 10th yahrzeit is 9 Nisan. "They were true Women of Valor, who lived lives of hesed, loshon tov and ahavat Yisrael. We miss them every day! May their neshamot have the highest aliyah." Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree about how to understand three different verses relating to Gehenom and the final redemption - Reish Lakish interprets them all harshly and rabbi Yochanan more leniently. The language of redemption used in the Torah describes both getting out of Egypt and coming into the land of Israel. Rabbi Simai makes a heikesh - just like the Jews entered the land with only two out of the 600,000 that came out of Egypt, they also came out of Egypt with the same percentage of people that were there. If 600,000 came out, it must be that there were 180 billion people there, and they died before the Exodus. The same will hold e for the days of the Messiah, as is derived from Hosea 2:17. Two situations are described in which Moshe is critical of God. The people of a wayward city, that were convinced by members of their city to worship idols, do not have a share in the World-to-Come. The halakhic details of this city are discussed.

התוכן בענין חביתי כהן גדול [כמ"ש בשני דפ' צו] כותב הרמב"ם שאם "מת כהן גדול בשחרית אחר שהקריב חצי העשרון ולא מינו כהן אחר מביאין היורשין עשרון שלם עבור כפרתו". עפמ"ש הרגוצו'בי שמנחת חביתין שמביאין היורשין אינו הקרבן שלהם אלא של הכה"ג, יובן א) זה שהיורשין יכולים להביא החביתין מיד והרי הם "אוננים" או "אבלים" ו"אבל אינו משלח קרבנותיו". ב) מה שמשמע [מזה שהמשנה משנה מלשון הכתוב "בניו" וכותבת ש"יורשין" מביאין הקרבן] שכל היורשין, גם אלו שמצ"ע אינם ראויים להביא מנחת חביתין, כגון כהן חלל או בן בתו שהוא לוי או ישראל, יכולים להביא כאן את החביתין עבור הכה"ג. ג) מכל זה יובן מקורו של הרמב"ם שכותב שהחביתין שמביאים היורשין הם "עבור כפרתו" של הכה"ג.משיחת מוצש"פ צו ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-04-2025 Synopsis Regarding the Kohen Gadol's chavitin (as discussed in sheini of parashas Tzav), the Rambam writes: “If the Kohen Gadol died in the morning after he offered half of an isaron and another Kohen Gadol was not appointed, the heirs should bring an entire isaron for his atonement.” But (1) how can the heirs bring the chavitin that day, if they are mourners, who “may not send their offerings”? (2) The fact that the Mishna departs from the wording of the verse and says “his heirs” rather than “his sons” indicates that it may be brought by any of his “heirs,” including those unfit to bring a chavitin offering, such as a chalal, or a grandson of the Kohen Gadol who's a Levi or Yisrael. How can they bring the chavitin for the Kohen Gadol? (3) What is the Rambam's source for the idea that the heirs bring it “for his atonement”? All of this can be explained based on the Rogatchover's explanation that the minchas chavitin brought by the heirs is not theirs, but rather the Kohen Gadol's.Excerpt from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Tzav 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-04-2025 לזכות ר' משה הכהן בן רוזה חנה שי' ליום ההולדת שלו ט' ניסן – לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת אביו ‏ר' אברהם הכהן שי'‏

This week's Parsha seems a bit repetitive, but we learn about those who actually made the Tabernacle, according to Hashem's plan. B'nai Yisrael has been forgiven since building the Golden Calf (which Michael thinks was more like a "Summer Art Project") and now they must step up to build a beautiful place where Hashem may dwell among them. Let's dive in!

Rabbi Eli Mansour's NEW Book - Maayan Eliyahu on Pesah is here!! (Derashot in English for the upcoming Sedarim) CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO ORDER YOUR COPY https://itorahbooks.com/produc ts/maayan-eliyahu-pesach- hardcover?mc_cid=08f9dc045e& mc_eid=f5807e4c64 Every Jew has a neshama that is literally a part of Hashem. No matter how distant a person may seem from religion, he will always have an inner connection to Hashem—because that is his essence. Deep down, every Jew has emunah ; sometimes, it just needs to be brought out. A man once shared that he was at a hotel for Pesach , and early one Chol HaMoed morning, he went to the breakfast room to prepare a bottle for his daughter. A waiter approached him and asked for a d'var Torah . It seemed like an unusual request, as the waiter did not look Jewish. After sharing a Torah thought, the man was shocked when the waiter revealed that his mother was Jewish—but he was about to marry a non-Jewish woman. Recognizing the significance of the moment, the man introduced him to the rabbi at the hotel, who spoke to him at length, trying to convince him to reconsider. Amazingly, four years later, this man is now fully religious and engaged to a bat Yisrael . The neshama of a Jew yearns for a relationship with Hashem, even if it may not seem that way on the surface. A rabbi from Arachim , a well-known outreach organization, shared a similar story: Many years ago, he was on a flight from New York to Israel. Sitting next to him was a man named David, who took a sleeping pill the moment the flight began. Something about David seemed familiar, but the rabbi couldn't place where he knew him from. Five hours later, David woke up, and the rabbi tried to start a conversation. David immediately shut him down. " I'm not interested in religion. I don't want to discuss it. " He mentioned that he had gone to yeshiva as a child but had since left religion entirely. It was then that the rabbi realized—David had attended the same yeshivah as he had! Curious, the rabbi asked him why he had abandoned Judaism. David explained, "At first, I felt lonely in yeshivah and realized I wasn't going to become anything special there. Slowly, I started becoming angry—first with the people, then with the religion. And now, I don't even believe in Hashem anymore." The rabbi asked if he could share just one story. David agreed. The rabbi told him about an event that had been recorded by Simcha Raz, the author of Ish Tzadik Hayah , about Rabbi Aryeh Levine. Simcha Raz was once invited to a gathering of dignitaries, where some of Israel's top military officials were present. He was the only one in the room wearing a kippah , and some people began challenging him about his belief in Hashem. He asked them, "When you go into battle, do you have a plan, or do you just wing it?" A general replied, "Of course, we have a plan! We also have a Plan B in case Plan A doesn't work. And we even have a Plan C in case Plan B fails." Simcha Raz then said, "I see that you don't believe in Hashem. But what if you're wrong? What if, after 120 years, you are banished from Olam Haba? Shouldn't you at least have a Plan B—just in case?" The general responded, " You only need a Plan B when there is a doubt about Plan A. But I have no doubt that religion is false. In fact, to prove it, I'll even write you a contract right now, signing over my Olam Haba to you." And so they did. The general wrote up a contract, signed it, and handed it over to Simcha Raz. Two days later, the general's son showed up at Simcha Raz's house, pleading for the contract back. At first, Simcha refused. He told the boy to come back in a few days. Then, he asked his rabbi what to do. His rabbi advised him to return the contract. When the son came back two days later, begging once more, Simcha gave it to him. The boy then revealed, "My father doesn't want to take the risk. He decided to follow your advice and have a Plan B." The rabbi then told David, "You see every Jew deep down feels the truth. Maybe you should second guess your decision about leaving Hashem." David remained silent, and that was the last they spoke on the plane. But recently, the rabbi attended an Arachim seminar—and saw David there, wearing a kippah . David told him, "When I saw all the hostages who weren't religious before saying that what kept them going was their tefillot, their Tehillim, and their connection to Hashem, I realized—I don't want to take the risk. Maybe it's real." Every Jew has a spark inside of him, yearning to be close to Hashem. If we ever have the opportunity to help someone who has strayed, we must remember—deep down, they want it. They just need the right words to bring it out.

This month's learning is sponsored by Fally Klein "in honor of "Klein birthday month" where each of our children have celebrated a milestone coming of age: Shimi, an adult at eighteen, Dassa, a mature and beautiful sixteen, Yedidya, at three with his upsherin, And, of course, Elimelech whose bar mitzvah is today. May we have the merit to see them all grow in their Torah, avodat Hashem, and ahavat Yisrael."  This week's learning is sponsored by Sarah Zahavi in loving memory of her great-grandmother, Sarah bat Shlomo v'Chana.  Today's daf is sponsored by Adam Plunka in loving memory of Moshe ben David, Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l. Is one allowed to perform a medical procedure on a parent? Is one allowed to administer lashes in the court or cursing (during the process of excommunication) to a parent as a messenger of the court? Does the commandment not to curse or hit a parent apply to those who are no longer "part of the nation" as they have sinned? Do they apply after death? Is there a distinction between hitting and cursing regarding these two issues? To be liable the death penalty for kidnapping, one must kidnap, exploit, and selling the person into slavery.

Parshas HaShavuah Shiurim: Parshas Beshalach - Bnei Yisrael Versus Am Yisrael: The Ramban's Fascinating Distinction To Describe The Dor HaMidbar 01/13/2022

06/06/2022

The Gemara in Masechet Berachot (55) establishes that refusing to go to the Torah to recite the Beracha when called for an Aliya could potentially shorten a person's life, Heaven forbid. Moshe Rabbenu declares in the Book of Debarim (30:20), "For it [the Torah] is your life and the length of your days"; meaning, through Torah a person earns long life. The Gemara thus infers that one who refuses to go to the Torah for an Aliya forfeits the benefits of the Torah, and thus runs the risk of having his life shortened, God forbid. The Gaon of Vilna (Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, 1720-1797) commented that this concept underlies an interesting Halacha codified in the Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 135:6; listen to audio recording for precise citation). The Shulhan Aruch there addresses the case of a Kohen who arrived in the synagogue as the congregation began the Torah reading. As there was no Kohen in the synagogue prior to this Kohen's arrival, the congregation called a Yisrael to the Torah. The Shulhan Aruch rules that if the Kohen arrived only after the Yisrael recited the words "Baruch Ata Ado-nai" in the Beracha, then the Yisrael should complete the Aliya. Since he had already begun the Beracha, he should not be interrupted and replaced by the Kohen. If, however, the Kohen arrived before the Yisrael began reciting the Beracha, while the Yisrael recited "Barechu," then the Kohen is called to the Torah instead of the Yisrael. Interestingly, the Shulhan Aruch adds that in this case, the Yisrael should remain next to the Torah during the Kohen's Aliya and during the Levi's Aliya, and then he – that same Yisrael – should receive the third Aliya. Apparently, the Shulhan Aruch held that since this Yisrael had been called to the Torah, he must accept the invitation and read. Therefore, even though a Kohen arrived and was given the first Aliya, the Yisrael must nevertheless remain and receive an Aliya, so that he will not be considered as though he refused an invitation to come recite the Beracha over the Torah. This Halacha demonstrates the importance of receiving an Aliya, and the extent to which one must welcome this privilege. When a person is offered an Aliya he should not humbly decline; rather, he should eagerly embrace this opportunity to recite the Berachot over the Torah. Summary: A person who is offered an Aliya to the Torah should not decline. This applies even in a case where a congregation called a Yisrael for the first Aliya because no Kohen was present, and a Kohen entered the synagogue before the Yisrael began reciting the Beracha. Although the Kohen in this case receives the first Aliya in place of the Yisrael, the Yisrael should remain by the Torah and is given the third Aliya, so that he is not considered as having refused an Aliya to the Torah.

Experience the richness of Jewish law where a child's Kohen status remains resilient even amidst family changes, such as the death of a father or a mother's subsequent remarriage. Explore the beautiful diversity of Jewish practices, comparing the Torah display customs between Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities.

Today’s daf is sponsored by Raya, Lily, Kyra, Aliza, Lucy, and Eden, students of Abby Sosland, in loving memory of her mother, Judy Sosland z"l. "Though we did not know your mother personally, we know that her love, compassion, and wisdom made you the role model you are for us today, and for every student you’ve taught. We hope to be here for you and want to celebrate your mother’s life with all of our timbrels." The Gemara delves into more issues regarding both homosexual relations and bestiality. They asked Rav Sheshet: If a gentile has relations with an animal, is the animal killed? Does there need to be both a calamity (sin) and shame or is it enough for there just to be a calamity? Rav Sheshet brings an answer from one source and the Gemara suggests another source, but the Gemara's suggestion is rejected. That suggestion leads to another question they asked of Rav Hamnuna: If a Jew has relations with an animal unwittingly, is the animal killed as there is no calamity, but there is shame. Three sources are brought to answer that question, but all are inconclusive.

One of the reasons we don't fully appreciate Hashem as much as we should is because, even when we receive clear blessings, we tend to attribute them to the people who gave them to us directly. We often fail to internalize that these people are merely Hashem's messengers. The Chovot HaLevavot , in Sha'ar HaBitachon , writes that Hashem has more love and mercy for us than anyone else in the world. Any compassion shown to a person ultimately stems from Hashem's compassion. When we receive something from others, it is because Hashem placed compassion into their hearts, enabling them to provide us with what He wants us to have. Of course, we must have hakarat hatov to those who help us, as Hashem deemed them worthy of fulfilling the chesed . But we cannot overlook the fact that everything we receive ultimately comes from Hashem. Likewise, when something is taken from us, it is Hashem acting through His messengers. Sometimes, we ourselves are His messengers, performing His will for others. A man, whom we will call Yosef, shared an incredible story. He lives in Har Nof and traveled abroad for a family wedding. On the return trip, his flight had a stopover in Holland. Due to a delay in the first flight, Yosef and his wife missed their connecting flight to Israel. It was already Friday, and there was no way to catch another flight in time for Shabbat. At the airport, a friendly Jew recommended they drive to the Jewish community in Antwerp, where they would surely find warm hospitality for Shabbat. When they arrived in Antwerp, however, Yosef and his wife felt hesitant about relying on others. Instead, they planned to buy some food and stay in a hotel. As they drove near the shul, they saw a man walking and asked where they could buy food. The man told them that all the Jewish stores were already closed for Shabbat but offered to guide them to the nearest grocery store. Yosef and his wife accepted his offer, and the man got into the back seat of their car. During the ride, they struck up a conversation and learned that this man was 36 years old and still unmarried. He shared that one day he had walked into a bet midrash and noticed a Gemara Masechet Sotah open to the page that states: "Forty days before a person is even conceived, Hashem determines who they will marry." Ever since, his daily prayer had been: "Ribbono shel Olam, You wrote in Your Torah that I have a zivug, and I believe with emunah shelemah that You will help me find her. Please let it happen soon." Yosef's wife listened intently and felt strongly that she wanted to help this man find his zivug . The man guided them to the shul where Shabbat guests were welcomed. Yosef and his wife went there and experienced the most heartwarming Shabbat, surrounded by people filled with ahavat Yisrael . They later said it was worth missing their connecting flight just to witness the kindness of the Antwerp community. During Shabbat, they met other guests, including a family from France whose daughter was searching for a shidduch . Yosef's wife immediately thought of the man who had helped them and suggested him as a match. Baruch Hashem , they turned out to be a perfect match, and shortly thereafter, the couple became engaged and then married. Yosef and his wife saw clearly how Hashem used them as His messengers to bring this couple together. They understood why they missed their connecting flight, why the man at the airport directed them to Antwerp, and why they met the 36-year-old near the shul. They even understood why he got into their car to show them where the grocery store was and instead brought them to the shul for guests. Everything that happens to us is guided by the ratzon Hashem . Sometimes Hashem gives to us through His messengers. Sometimes He takes through His messengers. And sometimes, He makes us His messengers.

A Zimun is recited before Birkat Hamazon when three people ate a meal together. According to the Shulhan Aruch, even a minor – who has not yet reached the age of Bar Misva – can count as the third person for a Zimun, provided that he is capable of reciting Birkat Hamazon and understands to whom he recites the Beracha. Children who have reached the age of nine years are generally assumed to have reached this point. Ashkenazim have the custom not to count boys to a Zimun before they reach the age of Bar Misva. The Ben Ish Hai (Rabbi Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), however, writes that the practice in Baghdad followed the Shulhan Aruch's view, allowing minors to count toward a Zimun, and this is indeed the Halacha for Sepharadim. Thus, once a child reaches this point in his educational development, he may join two adults in forming a Zimun. Likewise, if nine men are present, he may count as the tenth person to allow the group to recite Hashem's Name ("Elokenu") in the Zimun. A woman cannot join with two men to form a Zimun, as this would violate proper standards of modesty. However, if three or more women eat by themselves, then, according to some opinions, they are required to recite a Zimun, while others maintain that this is optional. The Ben Ish Hai concludes that it is proper for women in such a case to recite a Zimun (listen to audio recording for precise citation). Women do not, however, recite a Zimun with Hashem's Name ("Elokenu"), even if ten or even one hundred women eat together. If women eat a meal where three or more men are present, the women should not recite Birkat Hamazon before the men. They must instead wait until the men recite Birkat Hamazon so that they can participate in the Zimun. Even though they do not count toward the Zimun, they nevertheless bear the obligation to recite the Zimun together with the men. It is proper for a host to ask his guest to lead the Zimun. If one of his guests is a Kohen, then that guest take precedence over others in leading the Zimun. A Torah scholar takes precedence over a Kohen, and, of course, a Torah scholar who is a Kohen takes precedence over other Torah scholars. If a Torah scholar who is not a Kohen leads the Zimun in the presence of Kohanim, he should say, "Bireshut Ha'kohanim," asking permission from the Kohanim to lead the Zimun. Some people offer a Levi precedence over others when no Kohanim are present. This is not, however, the prevalent practice, and one is not required to grant a Levi precedence over a Yisrael in leading the Zimun. Summary: The custom of the Sepharadim is to allow a boy to join with two adults to form a Zimun, provided that the boy is old enough to recite Birkat Hamazon and to understand the concept of Birkat Hamazon. (This is generally assumed to be the case once a child reaches the age of nine.) Women do not join with two men to form a Zimun, but three women who eat a meal together should make a Zimun. If women eat together with three or more men, they should not recite Birkat Hamazon until they recite the Zimun together with the men. A guest should recite a Zimun, and a Kohen takes precedence over others, with the exception of Torah scholars, who take precedence over Kohanim.

Study Guide Sanhedrin 40 Today's daf is sponsored by Chavie Kahn and Heshy Kofman in loving memory of their father Yisrael ben Yehoshua Heschel on his first yahrzeit. Today's daf is dedicated in honor of the four tatzpitaniot that were released yesterday from captivity - Liri, Naama, Karina, and Daniela. We continue to pray for the safe release of all the other hostages.  How many essential questions (chakirot) are the witnesses asked? What other questions are asked in specific cases, like idol worship or murder? What is the difference between chakirot and bedikot? From where is the number of chakirot (7) derived? What is the root of the debate between Rabbi Yosi and the rabbis about whether there are three chakirot or two?
