  • Mattos Chassidus on the Massei ~ Mattos Chassidus on the Parsha +
    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) MATTOS ~ MASSEI _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah – Mattos Keep Your Word The Torah states (30:3), “If a man takes a vow or swears an oath to G -d to establish a prohibition upon himself, he shall not violate his word; he shall fulfill whatever comes out of his mouth.” In relation to this passuk , the Midrash quotes from Tehillim (144:4), “Our days are like a fleeting shadow.” What is the connection? This can be explained, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, according to a Gemara ( Nedarim 10b), which states, “It is forbidden to say, ‘ Lashem korban , for G-d − an offering.’ Instead a person must say, ‘ Korban Lashem , an offering for G -d.’ Why? Because he may die before he says the word korban , and then he will have said the holy Name in vain.” In this light, we can understand the Midrash. The Torah states that a person makes “a vow to G-d.” This i s the exact language that must be used, mentioning the vow first. Why? Because “our days are like a fleeting shadow,” and there is always the possibility that he may die before he finishes his vow and he will have uttered the Name in vain. n Story The wood chopper had come to Ryczywohl from the nearby village in which he lived, hoping to find some kind of employment.

  • On Vaccination, Parental Rights, and Religious Freedom
    GEDOLIM LETTERS on Vaccination, Parental Rights, and Religious Freedom Gedolim Letters on Vaccination, Parental Rights and Religious Freedom • 1 Introduction is publication has been prepared on behalf of the talmidim of Moreinu Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky, shlit”a, Moreinu Harav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, shlit”a, and Moreinu Harav Malkiel Kotler, shlit”a. In this chapter, when mention is made of “our Gedolim,” the reference is to these three of our leading American Gedolim. Our Gedolim have made their views on vaccination known to their talmidim and to their petitioners. eir view is not extreme. ey do not advocate against vaccination. ey rule that vaccination is a parental choice, and that parents may not be coerced into vaccination. Perhaps most importantly, they state that parents who choose not to vaccinate should be viewed as parents exercising a right and making a justiable decision, not as agitators recklessly endangering the public welfare. is publication refutes the assertions—which have been recently circulated widely—that all Gedolim obligate parents to vaccinate, and that non-vaccinating parents are rotzchim and rodm. Non-vaccinating parents in our communities are acting with the full consent of da’as Torah, yet they are being maligned and vilied, and, in countless cases, victimized and hurt. e achdus and shalom within our communities and families is being gravely damaged; the above unfounded and untrue assertions have had much to do with it. Part 1: “We the Undersigned…” and the Chicago Letter Measles! e Original Lakewood Psak In years past, most states—including New York and In 2008, a Lakewood beis din was convened to hand New Jersey—granted parents the legal right to opt out down a ruling.

Two korbanot are brought: one is an Olah (completely burnt on the altar) in thanks to Hashem for saving her from the dangers of childbirth. The other is, interestingly, a korban hatat or sin offering. The hakhamim question this strange korban; why is incredibly humbling. How much more so for a must a woman who has just given birth bring a sin mother who has carried the developing life in her offering? An amusing answer is offered by Rabbi womb for nine months?

Each “piece” appears almost exactly as it was published originally. Only obvious typographical errors have been corrected and a modest effort was made render consistent some of the stylistic differences that exist between transliterations in earlier and later issues of Hamaayan. (In addition, some references to Torah scholars who were living when their words originally appeared have unfortunately had to be changed to reflect the fact of their passing.) This work would not have been possible without the help of several people (in addition to the sponsors and the other supporters of Hamaayan).
