    SHABBAT, FEBRUARY 29, 2020 - ADAR 4, 5780 PARSHAT TERUMAH (Pg. 444) TORAH INSIGHTS FROM RABBI ELI BABICH The Torah states that the walls of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) were made of large planks of acacia wood (Terumah 26:15). Construction of the Tabernacle commenced while the Jewish people were in the desert. As an abundance of wood is not natural in desert conditions, one can ask how the nation procured such large quantities of wood needed to con- struct the Tabernacle. Rashi commented, Our patriarch, Jacob, planted cedars in Egypt, and when he was dying, he commanded his sons to bring them up with them when they left Egypt. He told them that the Holy One, blessed is He, was destined to command them to make a Mishkan of acacia wood in the desert. In anticipation of the ultimate redemption, upon arrival in Egypt, Jacob ordered the planting of trees for the eventual use in the construction of the Tabernacle. Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetsky (1891- 1986) questioned the necessity of Jacob arranging for the planting of trees, as surely there were suitable trees in Egypt. Rabbi Kaminetsky suggested that Jacob planted the trees for psychological reasons. These trees served as a reminder that the enslaved Jewish people would one day be redeemed. Even though the promise of redemp- tion was widely known, the trees served as a tangible reminder, each and every day, of the ultimate salvation of the Jewish people. The nation routinely encountered these trees during their years of slavery, and for the nation, the trees were a physical symbol of hope.

  • New Book Announcement: Amudim Be-Toldot Ha-Sefer Ha-Ivri (Volume Three)
    New Book Announcement: Amudim be-Toldot ha-Sefer ha-Ivri (Volume Three) New Book Announcement: Amudim be-Toldot ha-Sefer ha-Ivri (Volume Three) By Eliezer Brodt I am very happy to announce the recent publication of an important work, which will be of great interest to readers of the Seforim blog. The third volume of, Amudim be-Toldot ha-Sefer ha-Ivri by Professor Yaakov Shmuel Spiegel, of Bar-Ilan University’s Talmud department. As I have written in the past, Professor Spiegel is one of the most prolific writers in the Jewish academic scene, authoring of over 160 articles and 18 books (16 of those are publications for the first time of works which remained in manuscript). Many suspect he possesses Hashbot Hakulmos (automatic writing). His articles cover an incredibly wide range of subjects related to many areas of Jewish Studies, including history of Rishonim,piyutim authored by Rishonim, bibliography and minhaghim, to name but a few. His uniqueness lies not only in the topics but also that his work has appeared in all types of publications running the gamut from academic journals such as Kiryat Sefer, Tarbiz, Sidra, Alei Sefer, Assufot, Teudah, Kovetz Al Yad and also in many prominent Charedi rabbinic journals such a Yeshurun, Yerushasenu, Moriah, Sinai and Or Yisroel. It is hard to define his area of expertise, as in every area he writes about he appears to be an expert! He has edited and printed from manuscript many works of Rishonim and Achronim on Massekhes Avos and the Haggadah Shel Pesach. He is of the opinion, contrary to that of some other academics, that there is nothing non- academic about printing critical editions of important manuscript texts.

    INTRODUCTION Ohr Somayach-Monsey was originally established in 1979 as a branch of the Jerusalem-based Ohr Somayach Institutions network. Ohr Somayach-Monsey became an independent Yeshiva catering to Ba’alei Teshuvah in 1983. Ohr Somayach-Monsey endeavors to offer its students a conducive environment for personal and intellectual growth through a carefully designed program of Talmudic, ethical and philosophical studies. An exciting and challenging program is geared to developing the students' skills and a full appreciation of an authentic Jewish approach to living. The basic goal of this vigorous academic program is to develop intellectually sophisticated Talmudic scholars who can make a significant contribution to their communities both as teachers and experts in Jewish law; and as knowledgeable lay citizens. Students are selected on a basis of membership in Jewish faith. Ohr Somayach does not discriminate against applicants and students on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin provided that they members of the above mentioned denomination. CAMPUS AND FACILITIES Ohr Somayach is located at 244 Route 306 in Monsey, N.Y., a vibrant suburban community 35 miles northwest of New York City.

  • 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.

  • When the Sun Set at Midday
    Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller When the Sun Set At Midday: An Appreciation of Rabbi Raphael Baruch Sorotzkin :i:ii:i17P'1;l1:>T - When the Telshe Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Baruch orotzkin :i::ii:J1;r P'1l' i:n, passed away on Friday I night, 13 Shvat (February 9, '79) the loss was felt 1 on many levels - the personal and the communal - by his bereaved family, by his yeshiva, and by the many institutions and organizations that he served as life spirit. Rabbi Sorotzkin was born on 13 Shvat, 5677 - precisely 62 years, to the day, before his death - in Zhetel, Lithuania, where his father, Rabbi Zalmen Sorotzkin,'i"'l'i, was rav. Reh Zalmen later earned world-wide recognition as the Lutzker Rav, playing a key role in the leadership of Agudath Israel in Europe and subsequently in Israel, where he headed Chinuch Atzmai-Torah Schools, as well as the Vaad Hayeshivos. Reb Boruch's mother was the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer Cordon 'i"~T, revered Rav and Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe. Thus Reb Baruch was brought up with the twin heritage of Torah scholarship assumed leadership of the Yeshiva as Roshei and communal leadership, as exemplified by both HaYeshiva. Reb Baruch, in the Telzer tradition, his parents' families. extended his sphere of activities to include ever As a young man, Reb Baruch studied under more areas of communal responsibility-Chinuch Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman, 'i"~T, in Baranovitch, Atzmai, Torah Umesorah, Agudath Israel of and then under Rabbi Baruch Ber Lebovitz 'i"~T in America (as one of the youngest member of its Kaminetz.
