    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.

  • Hasidic Literature As a Literary Tradition
    Elly Moseson Work-in-progress – Not for circulation or citation Hasidic Literature as a Literary Tradition I. Introduction One of the most significant contributions of the Hasidic movement to Jewish culture is its vast and rich literary tradition. Over the past two and a half centuries, Hasidic writers have produced thousands of books many of which have had great influence both within the movement and beyond it. In addition to their value as creative works of religious literature in their own right, these works also provide insight into Hasidic history, ideology and culture. However, much about the origins and development of this tradition remains obscure. How and when did the Hasidic literary tradition begin? What is its exact relationship to the Hasidic movement? In what sense can we even speak of Hasidic literature as a distinct literary tradition? How do we define the Hasidic literary corpus and what are the criteria by which to include or exclude a given work from it? The designation of a given body of texts as a distinct literary tradition generally implies the recognition of some shared elements and thus serves to facilitate our understanding of these texts by highlighting certain historical connections or common thematic or stylistic features. This is presumably also the case when we speak about Hasidic literature but what exactly is distinctive in either the form or content of Hasidic texts that can be used to tie them to each other is not entirely obvious. While it is of course reasonable to assume that there is some relation between Hasidic literature and the Hasidic movement, determining what exactly is this relation is complicated by the fact that the Hasidic movement itself is not easy to define, especially in its formative period.

  • Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa: Let's Do Teshuvah Together
    Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa: Let’s Do Teshuvah Together Rabbi Simcha Bunim Bonhardt of Peshischa (Przysucha) was a disciple of The Holy Jew. Both were disciples of the Chozeh of Lublin. Rebbe Bunim was known for his great wisdom, and his first rebbe, the Chozeh of Lublin, said about him in Yiddish, “Er is meiner chochom,” “He is my wise man.” The Chozeh of Lublin had 120 very great students. Each of them was a tzaddik and all of them became rebbes in their own right. Yet, from amongst all of those tzaddikim, the Seer of Lublin called Rebbe Simcha Bunim alone, “my wise man.” Rebbe Bunim was very wise and very happy as well, as indicated by his name, ‘Simcha’. He passed away on 12 Elul, 5587 (1827). When he was a young man, Rabbi Simcha Bunim was the financial director for the wealthy Bergson family. He would travel around the world on business and he learned many languages. Even after he became a Rebbe, Rebbe Simcha Bunim would travel incognito to Germany in order to bring Jews there closer to God. Once he traveled to Germany to reach out to a particular Jew. He saw him entering a place that was totally off- limits to God-fearing Jews. Rebbe Simcha Bunim had no problem entering bars and taverns, where he would place chess and cards with the other customers and by doing so, eventually bring them close to God – but this was a place that was absolutely prohibited to enter. The tzaddik stood outside and began to sing a chassidic melody.

  • Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra,Kol Nidrei
    Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra Simchas Torah & a Lost Minhag of the Gra By Eliezer Brodt Chol HaMoed Succos is the Yarzheit of the Vilna Gaon (for an earlier post on the Gra see here and here). In this post I hope to show a source for a “forgotten” Minhag of the Gra. In 1921 the great bibliographer (and much more) Yitzchak Rivkind described a strange custom he saw during the time he learned in Volozhin (after it was reopened and headed by R’ Rephael Shapiro), in an article about Minhag HaGra. On Simchas Torah they would open the Aron Kodesh when saying Aleinu, both at night and during the day, and while singing the Niggun of Mussaf of Yom Kippur would bow on the floor exactly like we do on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur. When he asked for the source of this Minhag he was told it comes from the Gra. When he visited Vilna sometime later he found the only place that they observed this unique Minhag was in the Kloiz of the Gra, but nowhere else in Vilna.[1] In 1933 R’ Meir Bar Ilan printed his memoirs in Yiddish for the first time (in book form); in it he describes the great Simcha in Volozhin on Simchas Torah, that of his father the Netziv and of the Talmidim. He then writes that when they got to Aleinu they would open the Aron and with Niggun of Mussaf of Yom Kippur would sing and bow on the floor exactly like we do on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur.[2] However, this custom is not mentioned in the Maaseh Rav or any of the other collections of Minhagim of the Gra.

  • Twenty-Eight Teachings from Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (Free Translation)
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) VAY ECHI _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Cures Precede Ailments Every word in the Torah has a purpose and a meaning. There are no superfluous words in the Torah, and yet there seems to be a redundancy in the passuk that describes how Yaakov blessed Ephraim and Menashe. He said, “May the Lord render you like Ephraim and Menashe.” And then, the Torah tells us, that “he placed Ephraim before Menashe.” There is a deeper meaning here, explains Rav Levi Yitzchak. The Gema ra tells us (Megillah 15a), “ Come and see how the Holy Blessed One’s attributes differ from those of mortals. Mortals place the pot on the fire and then fill it with water, but the Holy Blessed One fills it with water and then puts the pot on the fire.” Wh at does this mean? It refers to the preparation of the remedy before the affliction appears. The physical suffering is symbolized by the pot, and the divine kindness that restores health and serenity is symbolized by water. A person pours water into the po t after it has been placed in the oven, in other words, he is faced with an ailment and seeks water to pour over it. But the Almighty begins with the water. He wants to do certain acts of kindness for a person, but the person may be unworthy; his pot may b e too small, so to speak.
