Shabbos: Ta'am Hachaim Vayikra 5773 Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Vayikra 5773 (From the archives) Shabbos in the Parasha proclaimed, “accept the Torah and if not, you will be buried here.” It appears that Performing HaShem’s will with despite the Jewish People’s willingness our will to accept the Torah, it was still necessary for them to be coerced to accept the Introduction Torah. There are various explanation offered to resolve this paradox (See This week’s parashah discusses the Tosfos Ibid; Maharal Tiferes Yisroel karbanos, sacrifices that the Jewish §32). Perhaps the idea that is expressed People were required to bring when the in the Gemara can be explained with the Mishkan and the Bais HaMikdash were following statement. The Mishna in in existence. The essence of a sacrifice is Avos (5:1) states that the world was the ratzon, the will that one has when created with ten utterances. Although offering the sacrifice to HaShem. It is HaShem could have created the world said (Vayikra 1:3) im olah karbano min with one utterance, he chose to create the habakar zachar tamim yakrivenu el world with ten utterances so that the Pesach ohel moed yakriv oso lirztono wicked people, who destroy the world lifnei HaShem, if one’s offering is a that was created with ten utterances, burnt-offering from the cattle, he shall could be punished, and the righteous, offer an unblemished male; he shall who sustain the world that was created bring it to the entrance of the Tent of with ten utterances, could be rewarded. Meeting, voluntarily, before HaShem. The Ramban writes that when it is said Rashi cites the Gemara that states that that HaShem uttered that something the word lirztono teaches us that if one should come into existence, it means that does not wish to offer the obligatory HaShem willed that something should sacrifice, he is beaten until he declares exist. Thus, HaShem’s utterance was, so that he wants to bring the offering. to speak, His will. HaShem’s speech is His will Ten utterances are revealed in Ten Commandments Let us understand what this means When the Jewish People prepared to Hashem created the world for the sake of receive the Torah at Sinai, they declared the Jewish People and for the purpose of naaseh vinishma, we will do and we will having the Jewish People study the listen. Nonetheless, the Gemara Torah. Thus, HaShem’s will was for the (Shabbos 88a) states that HaShem held Jewish People to study His Torah. the mountain over their heads and Nonetheless HaShem uttered ten 1 utterances regarding creation, and in a we spend preparing for Shabbos. It similar vein, writes the Sfas Emes, should be HaShem’s will that we HaShem uttered Ten Commandments at acknowledge His will and perform His Sinai. The Sfas Emes explains that the will, and that we observe Shabbos with ten utterances of creation were great joy and love for HaShem. concealed, whereas the Ten Commandments were the revelation of Shabbos in the Zemiros those ten utterances. The Jewish People, by declaring “we will do and we will Eishes Chayil listen,” were revealing the ten utterances so creation. Yet, HaShem sought to Composed by Shlomo HaMelech in demonstrate that their willingness to Mishlei she ,מַרְ בַַדִּים ַעָשְתָה-לָּה ַשֵׁש ַוְַארְ גָמָן ַלְבּושָּה accept the Torah was only a mirror of HaShem’s will in this world. Thus, when made for herself luxurious bedspreads; we refer to someone’s will, we are linen and pure wool are her clothing. We ultimately tracing that will to what have already mentioned how the HaShem’s will is for the world. A person passages of Eishes Chayil allude to who is required to offer a sacrifice must Shabbos.

The Medrash states that HaShem mountain, to express this blessed Shabbos that a double portion of acknowledgment of HaShem’s will. In manna fell for the Jewish People in the truth, the offering of a sacrifice is merely Wilderness, and HaShem sanctified the a microcosm of a person’s life, where if Shabbos that manna did not fall on one does not acknowledge HaShem’s Shabbos.

This is truly amazing, and is another proof to the statement of This concept of accepting HaShem’s the Gemara that there is nothing that is will is manifest on Shabbos, where we not alluded to in the Torah. constantly supplicate HaShem to be appeased with our Shabbos observance. The requirement that we observe Shabbos was not given to us a choice, yet we still make choices regarding our level of observance and how much time 2 Shabbos in Tefillah Shem Tov could not control his ecstatic davening, so the Baal Shem Tov prayed for a long time, and thus arrived late at The angels speak articulately in the the rabbi’s house.

  • Rav Yisroel Abuchatzeira, Baba Sali Zt”L
    Issue (# 14) A Tzaddik, or righteous person makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. (Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach; Sefer Bereishis 7:1) Parshas Bo Kedushas Ha'Levi'im THE TEFILLIN OF THE MASTER OF THE WORLD You shall say it is a pesach offering to Hashem, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel... (Shemos 12:27) The holy Berditchever asks the following question in Kedushas Levi: Why is it that we call the yom tov that the Torah designated as “Chag HaMatzos,” the Festival of Unleavened Bread, by the name Pesach? Where does the Torah indicate that we might call this yom tov by the name Pesach? Any time the Torah mentions this yom tov, it is called “Chag HaMatzos.” He answered by explaining that it is written elsewhere, “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li — I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine” (Shir HaShirim 6:3). This teaches that we relate the praises of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and He in turn praises us. So, too, we don tefillin, which contain the praises of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu dons His “tefillin,” in which the praise of Klal Yisrael is written. This will help us understand what is written in the Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu [regarding the praises of Klal Yisrael]. The Midrash there says, “It is a mitzvah to speak the praises of Yisrael, and Hashem Yisbarach gets great nachas and pleasure from this praise.” It seems to me, says the Kedushas Levi, that for this reason it says that it is forbidden to break one’s concentration on one’s tefillin while wearing them, that it is a mitzvah for a man to continuously be occupied with the mitzvah of tefillin.

  • Moses Mendelssohn and the Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18Th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families
    Moses Mendelssohn and The Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families To be given at the Conference of Jewish Genealogy in London 2001 By Michael Honey I have drawn nine diagrams by the method I call The Jewish Historical Clock. The genealogy of the Mendelssohn family is the tenth. I drew this specifically for this conference and talk. The diagram illustrates the intertwining of relationships of Rabbi families over the last 600 years. My own family genealogy is also illustrated. It is centred around the publishing of a Hebrew book 'Megale Amukot al Hatora' which was published in Lvov in 1795. The work of editing this book was done from a library in Brody of R. Efraim Zalman Margaliot. The book has ten testimonials and most of these Rabbis are shown with a green background for ease of identification. The Megale Amukot or Rabbi Nathan Nata Shpiro with his direct descendants in the 17th century are also highlighted with green backgrounds. The numbers shown in the yellow band are the estimated years when the individuals in that generation were born. For those who have not seen the diagrams of The Jewish Historical Clock before, let me briefly explain what they are. The Jewish Historical Clock is a system for drawing family trees ow e-drmanfly 1 I will describe to you the linkage of the Mendelssohn family branch to the network of orthodox rabbis. Moses Mendelssohn 1729-1786 was in his time the greatest Jewish philosopher. He was one of the first Jews to write in a modern language, German and thus opened the doors to Jewish emancipation so desired by the Jewish masses.

  • Reading Between the Lines: Mining Jewish History Through Extraction of Polish Archive Data
    READING BETWEEN THE LINES: MINING JEWISH HISTORY THROUGH EXTRACTION OF POLISH ARCHIVE DATA Judy Golan Kfar Vradim, Israel Keywords: • Polish Jewish genealogical research marriages 19th century • Opatów • Działoszyce • Polish archive record extraction • Council of Four Lands • Jewish merchant trade routes • Hasidic influence • Landau Rabbinical Clan Abstract What began as a study to explain the perceived proliferation of “other” towns outside the town of Opatów during the review of 19th century Jewish marriage record extracts from that town’s archive, evolved into an exploration of how these “other” towns became a “spouse pool” for marriage-seeking Jews from Opatów. The process of town identification became a pivotal exercise in the analytical process. Evaluating locations outside the archival town meant going beyond mere town name extraction; it meant pinpointing the precise location on a map. Accurate assessment of town location is a critical underpinning of genealogical research without which inroads are stymied. This paper highlights issues and prescribes methodology logic for resolving them. By benchmarking statistics from record extracts during the same time frame from two Polish archive towns, relevance is determined. Techniques used in business analyses are applied to genealogical research, enabling illumination of similarities and anomalies. Applying such methodology is a way of “reading between the lines” of archive extracts, and allows for isolating salient aspects of any archive data. After validating the evidence of “other town” statistics in town archive marriage records, the marriage registrations are divided into four segments in terms of each couple’s towns of residency. Comparison in this way enables isolating disparities that are evident in the segment comprised by non-Town brides who married non-Town grooms.

And once he takes a wife in marriage his sins are uprooted, as is written: “Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Hashem.” (Mishlei 18, 22) (Tur) 3 1 The dark text shown here, and in every Seif throughout these Shiurim, is the Shulchan Aruch written by Rabbi Yosef Karo.
