Commander's Resources בס״ד In loving memory of MRS. SARAH ISSUE 333 (CHARLOTTE) ROHR ַּפרְ ַׁשת ַקֹרח • ב’ תמוז ה’תשע״ח Parshas Naso 2 Tammuz 5778 ַּפ רְ ַׁש ת ַקֹרח COMMANDER’S RESOURCES COMMANDER’S GUIDE • ENGLISH SICHA • YIDDISH SICHA • PARSHAFIER • WORKSHEET Commander’s Guide “A COMMANDER’S GUIDE IN TRAINING TODAY’S CHAYOLIM” Waking up early and spending the day in school every day can sometimes feel difficult. Have you ever left school after a long day feeling like you didn’t accomplish a lot that day? Did this thought ever cross your mind: “When I’m older, I will actually make a difference in the world, because now I’m not really Intr ion oduct accomplishing anything while in school all day.”? A chayol knows that this is his Yetzer Hora’s fantasies. This week’s parsha teaches us how to respond to the Yetzer Hora when he comes up with these ideas. פרשת קרח פרק י״ח פסוק ב׳ “ וגם את אחיך מטה לוי שבט אביך הקרב אתך וילוו עליך וישרתוך ואתה ובניך אתך לפני אהל העדת" “Also, your brothers, Shevet Levi, bring close to you, and they will serve you and your children in the Mishkon” Torah In the parsha of Korach, the Torah tells us about the avoda of the Leviim and the Kohanim. The Leviim would help the Chumash Kohanim in the Mishkon and Bais Hamikdosh by ensuring that only those who were allowed in would enter, by singing shiros to Hashem and other various responsibilities. The Kohanim and Leviim were both doing a holy avoda. They did it on behalf of the rest of the Yidden who were unable to serve in the Bais Hamikdosh because they were busy with making a parnoso and dealing with the gashmiyus of the world. 2 Now, in Golus, we also have Kohanim and Leviim who are doing the holy and special service of Hashem while the rest of the Yidden take care of more material but necessary things. The Rebbe chayolim in Tzivos Hashem, the boys and girls who spend their days in yeshiva learning Torah and davening with kavana are our Kohanim and Leviim. Going to yeshiva is not just something that we have to do and be done with. It is a special privilege and achrayus of every chayol in Tzivos Hashem. You are our Kohanim and Leviim. Lesson You are entrusted with the holy service of serving Hashem in a special way every day. This is why Hashem fashioned our world in a way that parents take care of all the needs of their children. Parents provide food, clothing, and a loving and warm environment for children to blossom in. Children shouldn’t be worried about taking care of themselves like adults must, because their focus must be on learning Torah. Children have something very important to accomplish and our parents help us, just as the Yidden gave gifts to the Kohanim and Leviim so they could serve Hashem in the Bais Hamikdosh. The next time you feel tired or lazy in class or uninterested to get out of bed and go to school, remember that our years in school B’chein aren’t just practice for the “real world.” It is a special avoda to be focused in learning all day. Be enthusiastic and feel privileged about the stage that you’re in! Through your serving Hashem, we will merit to see the Kohanim and Leviim serving Hashem in the third Bais Hamikdosh. Go for it! You can make it happen! 3 English Sicha Parshas Korach describes how Hashem chose shevet Levi to represent the Jewish people in the Bais Hamikdosh. The Leviyim brought karbanos on behalf of all the Yidden. By serving Hashem in the Bais Hamikdosh, they brought down Hashem’s blessings upon the entire nation. This is why Hashem appointed the Kohanim from the shevet of Levi to bentch the Jewish people. Even though the Bais Hamikdosh is no longer standing in a physical sense, everything is still true in a spiritual sense. As the Rambam teaches, every Jew is able to serve Hashem as did the Leviyim in the Bais Hamikdosh. He must only choose to dedicate his life to serving Hashem. He must devote himself to learning Torah and doing mitzvos, not just for his own sake but on behalf of all the Jewish people. Then, when a Jew has chosen the path of shevet Levi, he will receive all he needs from Hashem. What is more, he will bring down many more brochos upon all the Jewish people. Jewish girls and boys who go to yeshiva can be like the Leviyim and the Kohanim in the Bais Hamikdosh. All they must do is learn Hashem’s Torah, do His mitzvos and behave in a way that will be an example to the entire Jewish people. Then, Hashem will bless them with all they need. And because of them, Hashem will also bless their parents, their teachers, their leaders, and all the Jewish people. Jewish children must realize that their time in yeshiva is the greatest opportunity a Jew can have. They must make use of this special time by learning Torah conscientiously, and behaving in the proper way. During these precious years, they are the Kohanim and the Leviyim. They bring down Hashem’s blessings for all of their own needs, and for the needs of their parents and all of Klal Yisrael. 4 5 thi sgr pRxhegr tuhpphrubd' tui zhhbgi nehho nmu, thi Ri hahcv' zhh kgrbgi sgo tuhcgraybwx ,urv tui phri zhl tuh; euny tuhx' Rz uugi thbdkgl tui nhhskgl dhhgi thi R thshai pTke/ zhl' uugry mudgdgci thi sh crfu, pRri dRbmi dguugi ehho sgo uuTx gr cReuny Rk. uuTx gr buhyhdy ch, vnesa thz thhbgo pui thshai pTke' thz sgnTky' R ju. sgr mhhy uugi sgr vnmu,' tui bhay bTr pRr zhl bTr pRr hgsi zhhbgi dguugi thi thcgrdgci zhl muo khnus v,urv tui ehuo tui sh fvbho uuTx zhhi thi sgr d-ykgfgr gcusv' tuh; mu Rzuh uuh acy kuh ngi ekhhcy tuhx mu dhhi thi sgo uugd mu guxe R hahcv' zhhbgi zhh pui thshai pTke/ tui sTx thz surl sgo uuTx nhhskgl dhhgi thi acy kuh thz pRrRi tuhl thmy chh hgsi thhbgo uugi thbdkgl tui ' Rz sh gcusv pui uuh sgr rnc"o grekgry 2 thmy/ thbvRky sgr thi rujbhu,' thi banv kgci _ pRrRi tuhl thmy' uugi xwthz bhyT sh zRl cdanhu, )"phzhekh"(' thz Tcgr sTx thz dguugi uugi sgr ch, vnesa thz dguugi ehho/ tuhl sgo thshai pTke/ ngi pui sh kuhho tuhxdgekhci sh fvbho Rz zhh zTki cgbyai tuhcgrayi pRr sgo dRbmi thshai pTke' uuTx sgrpRr vTy ercbu,' tui surl sgo crgbdgi zhh RrTP sh crfu, pui sgo sgo tuhcgrayi thi nafi tui thi nesa' tuh; mu nerhc zhhi pTrayhhgr pui sgo thshai pTke tuh; mu yTi sh gcusv pui t sgr tuhcgraygr vTy zhh tuhxdgekhci zhh zTki zhhi sh hi vhhbyhegr xsrv uugry sgrmhhky uugdi acy kuh' uuh 1 Sicha acy kuh Yiddish sgr rch rgsy mu ehbsgr jre jre 6 1( erj hj' c uthkl/ 2( xu; vkfu, anhyv uhuck/ )f"s xhui ,a"f( hartk/ uuTx sh gkygri buhyhei zhl' tui surl sgo mu sgo dRbmi fkk sgo thz ngi neck sh crfu, thi Rk. uuTx ngi buhyhey zhl' uuTx eTi zhhi chh thsiQ nwthz sh fvbho tui sh kuhho' uuTx surl drgxyg cRsRr;-mu-zhhi _ sRr; ngi phki Rz sTx thz sTx mu kgrbgi sTryi cv,nsv' tui mu tuhpphri zhl uuh gx sgrpRr' thz sh hTri uugi nwthz zufv mu dhhi thi hahcv' tui dRbmi fkk hartk/ thsi mu sh uuTx phri Ti nhy zhhQ tui surl zhh mu sgo uuTx eTi zhhi chh zhhgrg gkygri' mu sh uuTx kgrbgi nhy zhh tui thz sTx drgxyg cRsRrpi/ tui surl zhh euny sTx Ti tuhl mu ngi phki Rz sTx tuhcgraybwx crfu, thi Rk. uuTx zhh cv,nsv _ sRr; ehho' tui gx uugri zhh dgdgci sgo kgrbgi sTryi sgr mhhy uugi sgr ch, vnesa thz dguugi hahcv' tui mu acy kuh tui sh fvbho uuTx zhhbgi dguugi thi zufv mu dhhi thi uuh ngi sRr; zhl tuhpphri _ zhhbgi zhh Rzuh uuh sh hTri uugi nwthz tupi uuTx sTx dhy R chhaphk pRr Rkg thsi sgr rch rgsy mu ehbsgr jre Parshafier the קַהִתְ ׁשְ ר ּו ת I shared a sicha of the Rebbe Yitzy: Sruly, can you help me understand this mishna? ...Sruly? at my ֹתַּׁׁ שְרַּפ Shabbos table Rivky: Sruly, are you okay?

    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

    Praise for Turning Judaism Outward “Wonderfully written as well as intensely thought provoking, Turning Judaism Outward is the most in-depth treatment of the life of the Rebbe ever written. !e author has managed to successfully reconstruct the history of one of the most important Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century, whose life has up to now been shrouded in mystery. A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest.... I am con"dent that readers of Miller’s book will derive great pleasure and receive much knowledge from this splendid and compel- ling portrait of the Rebbe.” —Elliot R. Wolfson, Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University “Only truly great biographers have been able to accomplish what Chaim Miller has with this book... I am awed by his work, and am now even more awed than ever before by the Rebbe’s personality and prodi- gious accomplishments.” —Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus, Orthodox Union; Editor-in-Chief, Koren-Steinsaltz Talmud “A fascinating account of the life and legacy of a spiritual master.

  • The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable
    The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable While there’s been a great deal written concerning the acceptability of some beliefs held by some members of the Chabad community, I think it’s worthwhile examining the rhetorical strength of their actual claims. It seems to me that there are four main classes of belief that distinguish Chabad Jews from mainstream orthodox Judaism. While not all Chabad members will agree to all four, there are many who feel that these classes represent the core claims of modern Chabad (Click here for selected background sources). w that Rabbi Schneerson was the greatest Torah scholar and righteous man of his generation (nasi hador) and perhaps of all generations, a prophet (navi) and infallible. w that Rabbi Schneerson was (or is) the Jewish messiah. w that a Chassidic rebbe can nullify himself before God to the point where he becomes “indistinguishable from Him.” Many Chabad Chassidim believe that Rabbi Schneerson was such a man (and therefore is alive, divine, all-knowing, all-powerful and worthy of our prayers). w that Chabad Chassidism is the only completely authentic branch of Judaism and that all Jews are obligated to study and live by the tenets of the Chabad movement. Put in their own language: any Jew who doesn’t learn Toras Chabad (i.e., who doesn’t live and study the principles and curriculum of Chabad Chassidism as manifested by the teachings of their grand rabbis and especially Rabbi M. Schneerson) is holding back the redemption – God’s ultimate goal for all creation. Now, let us approach these claims as honest and open-minded skeptics.

At that moment my connection to him began, and I became a chasid of the Rebbe. From then on he took a serious interest in me, shaping my learning as well as my life. In 1952, the Rebbe gave Chanukah gelt to people who were studying Chasidic teachings. The Rebbe called my father into his office and asked him if he was learning Chassidic teachings with me. My father wasn’t, and he justified himself by saying, “But he is still a young boy.” The Rebbe didn’t accept that. He said, “You must teach him,” and he suggested that we start with a discourse from Likkutei Torah entitled was born in 1941 in New York to a Lubavitch family.
