Me'oros Ha'tzaddikim ~ Shemini 5774.Pdf Issue (# 25) 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 Shemini Kedushas Ha'Levi'im INVEST IN THE FUTURE: KEEP KOSHER! Hashem spoke to Moshe and Aharon, saying to them, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, “This is the animal...” (Vayikra 11:1–2) he holy Berditchever tells us that we should pay careful attention to what the words in our verse “saying to them” are telling us. The Kedushas Levi explains these words based on T what Rashi wrote in his commentary on the verse “Should I go and call you a nursemaid from among the Hebrew women?” (Shemos 2:7): “She took him to many Egyptian women to nurse, but he would not nurse from them because he was destined to speak to the Shechinah and he did not wish to nurse from an impure source, since he was destined to prophesy to the nation of Israel directly from the Shechinah.” Similarly the holy Ramban wrote (on Vayikra 11:13) that the reason the Torah forbade us to eat impure animals is because they generate a cruel nature in man, and the holy nation of Israel needs the attribute of chesed and loving-kindness, for in the future Hashem will speak directly to each individual in the nation, as it says, “And your sons and daughters...shall prophesy” (Yoel 3:1). Since Hashem is destined to speak to each Jew, how can the mouth that consumed impure food speak to the Shechinah? This is what our verse hints to us: “He [Hashem] spoke...saying to them.” This alludes to the fact that in the future I will “say to them,” to each individual, and therefore they should not consume anything impure. The Last Act Rav Mordechai of Slonim once told the following story: There was a wicked man who lived not far from Berditchev. He was so wicked that there was not a sin or a transgression that he had not committed. Once, he heard that in nearby Berditchev there was a Page 1 of 14 Yiddish theater where a comedy was playing called The Rebbe, a shameful skit in which the maskilim (so- called enlightened Jews whose rationalistic and often atheistic worldview caused them to disparage and often persecute the Orthodox) mocked the holy chassidic Rebbes of the day. He said to himself, Why should I go to the theater when I can have a real laugh firsthand? I’ll just go to the Berditchever Rebbe’s shul and see his silly antics for myself! He traveled to Berditchev to have a good laugh at the Rebbe’s expense. He arrived on Shabbos and set himself up in a local non-kosher hotel. Then he went to Rav Levi Yitzchak’s shul for Kabbalas Shabbos. When he entered the shul, he heard the Berditchever declare: “On every blade of grass sits an angel, and on that angel another angel! And they all sing shirah (praise) to the Ribbono shel olam — the Master of the world! And I, Levi Yitzchak ben Sarah Sasha, sing as well: ‘Lechu neranenah laHashem — Come! Let us sing to Hashem!’ ” These holy words, uttered with such passionate devotion, pierced the man’s soul and melted his heart. They led him to repent and do complete teshuvah. After the prayer service, he went over to the shamash, the Rebbe’s gabbai (sexton), and said to him, “Please help me. I am a guest here and I’ve made a mistake. I am staying at such-and-such hotel and I realized that it probably does not serve kosher food. Perhaps I can stay here and eat here with you?” The gabbai knew of this hotel, and he knew that there was no way to make such a mistake. He realized that this man wished to repent and make amends, and he happily set him up to eat with the Berditchever at the Rebbe’s table. The next morning the visitor could not remove his eyes from the Rebbe; he watched him during the entire prayer service. On motza’ei Shabbos he entered the Rebbe’s room and threw himself on the ground, crying bitterly. “If I were to write a kvittel (note) and list all of my sins and transgressions, there would not be room to list them all. I have committed every crime there is. Please help me find a way to repent and do teshuvah!” The Rebbe told him to go home and sell all his belongings. He should give the proceeds to charity and then return to Berditchev. The man could not stop crying. He was afraid to go home. What if his evil inclination should overcome him and his awakening to teshuvah would not withstand the temptation? What if he returned to his former ways? The Rebbe said he should go back nonetheless, but instead he should divide the proceeds, giving half to charity, and bring the rest back with him. This is what he did. When he returned, he sat and learned in the beis midrash. In the beginning, he would perform the most menial tasks, taking out the trash and emptying the chamber pots. Eventually, he rose in rank, until he sat among the most important and distinguished of the chassidim.

  • 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.
