  • Shabbat-B'shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015)
    Shabbat-B'Shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015) AS SHABBAT APPROACHES Testimony for All of Humanity - by Rabbi Oury Cherki, Machon Meir, Rabbi of Beit Yehuda Congregation, Jerusalem This week's Haftarah begins with the return of the Shechina – the holy Presence – to Zion and with the significance of this process for mankind: "Sing and be happy, daughter of Zion, for I am coming, and I will dwell within you – this is what G-d says. And many nations will join together with G-d on that day." [Zecharia 2:14-15]. The end of the Haftarah describes the Shechina as an image of a Menorah, similar to the one in the Temple. The proximity of the two images is taken by the sages as proof that the Menorah will serve as testimony for all of humanity that the Shechina dwells within Bnei Yisrael. It is true that the Menorah is placed outside of the Holy of Holies, such that at first glance it would seem that it is at a lower level of sanctity than the Ark of the Covenant, where the Torah is kept. This corresponds to the notion that the nation of Yisrael, including the appearance of the Shechina within it, is of minor importance when compared to the Torah. However, Rav Kook explains that this is only true from an external point of view, but that from an internal viewpoint – since the Torah was given for the sake of Yisrael and Yisrael preceded the Torah – the Menorah is indeed holier than the Ark.

  • Shauni: ​This Week's Torah Portion Is ​Parashat Emor​. We Will Be
    May 3, 2018 Parashat Emor https://www.sefaria.org/Leviticus.21.1-15?lang=bi&aliyot=1 http://mirowitztorahreading.weebly.com/emor.html Ezra Ezra ben Yehoshu’a Asher v’Temima Fayga Shauni Chana Lilah bat Kalanit v’Warren Annika Chanukkah bat Miriam v’Yosef Abigail Yosef bat Laura v’Steven Omri Omri ben Eli-Mordecai v’Osnat Shauni: This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Emor. We will be reading ​ ​ ​ from Sefer Vayikra, the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 21, Verses 1-3. Emor ​ ​ ​ means “speak.” G-d tells Moshe to speak to the kohanim, the priests, about ​ ​ what they should do to be extra holy in order to serve in the Temple. Parashat Emor also tells us about the special holidays of the Jewish calendar, ​ which make time holy throughout the year. The holy days connect us with our people, the land, the seasons, and with God. The first holy day mentioned is Shabbat, the day of rest. Omri: Then come Pesach and Shavuot, followed by the fall holidays: Rosh ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Parashat Emor also includes the mitzvah ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of counting the omer. All of us are commanded to count the omer. All year long, the Kohanim at our Holy Temple, offered wheat to God. In a ceremony from Pesach until Shavuot, barley was added, and the Kohanim ​ counted on behalf of the Jewish People. These days we do the counting for ourselves. We count from the second day of Passover until just before Shavuot. That’s 7 weeks of 7 days - 7 weeks x 7 days equals 49 days! The 50th day is Shavuot.

  • Rita Losch on Vayikra
    HOLY SMOKE! Parsha Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1-5:26) Day after day, I've been banging my head against this week's Torah portion, Vayikra. I'm trying to find my way in. Here, the people are instructed about the procedures for preparing burnt animal offerings to G*d, to atone for sin or guilt, and even to pray for well-being. In excruciating detail, Vayikra describes animal sacrifice. Simply reading this is disturbing; the animal being slaughtered suffers beyond the limits of pain and terror. My modern, quasi-civilized, not-very-humble, mostly- vegetarian Northern California sensibilities can find almost no redeeming message in these first five chapters of Leviticus. I don't mean to be mean or irreverent or incendiary, but -- with all due respect to Torah -- I find this mind-numbing animal torture and incineration extremely disgusting. My nausea is blocking my intelligence. So, how to find my way in? I could take a more cerebral, less visceral approach: I could explore the concepts of sin, guilt, confession, expiation, punishment, restitution and forgiveness. I could look for scapegoating metaphors: is the animal in G*d's abattoir a stand-in for ourselves? I could google countless rabbinic sermons on Vayikra, and see how Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed might help baffled students like me. Losch: Vayikra 1 I could riff on how two letters in the word sacred can so easily be transposed to form scared. That would be clever and fun. ••• But finally, I have found my way in -- through my body! My only viable approach to this week's Torah portion Vayikra is from an olfactory angle.

  • Vayikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor Continues the Description Of
    Emor VaYikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor continues the description of the special rules and observances of the Kohanim. The priests are to avoid coming into contact with a corpse, and are not to shave smooth any parts of their heads. They are forbidden to marry a divorced woman, and must always be scrupulous in carrying out their duties. Moses speaks to all the people about the holidays, this being one of several calendars of holidays found in the Torah. Apart from the Shabbat, the Jewish people are to observe Passover, and seven weeks later, Shavuot, a celebration of the harvest. On the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei), the people are to mark a “sacred occasion with loud blasts”, which we, of course, recognize as Rosh Hashanah and the sounds of the Shofar. The tenth day of the same month, Tishrei, is to be a Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Sukkot, celebrated on the fifteenth day of Tishrei, follows Yom Kippur by 5 days, and is observed for seven days. The people are to mark the eighth day, the day after Sukkot, as Shimini Atzeret, with a special sacrifice. On all of these holidays, we are told to refrain from work. The portion concludes with the description of an incident in which a man born of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man fights with a man born of two Israelite parents. The half-Israelite blasphemes G-d’s name in the course of the fight. G-d tells Moses that the man is to be stoned to death as punishment.

  • Parshat Shelach Weekly Dvar Torah
    Parshat Shelach 26 Sivan 5779 /June 29, 2019 Daf Yomi: Erchin 13; Nach Yomi: Mishlei 19 Mevorchim HaChodesh Tammuz Weekly Dvar Torah A project of the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG ISRAEL SPONSORED BY THE HENRY, BERTHA AND EDWARD ROTHMAN FOUNDATION ROCHESTER, NY,CLEVELAND, OHIO, CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO Fleeing from Fame Brings Respite from Reproach Rabbi Dovid Sochet Associate Member, Young Israel Council of Rabbis This week's parsha relates the mission of the twelve meraglim - spies or scouts - who were sent to scout the land of Cana'an before the Jewish nation entered it. When they returned from their reconnaissance, ten of the meraglim reported that the people would not be able to conquer the land. Only two of those sent - Yehoshua and Caleiv - insisted that Israel would prevail against the Cananites. How were those two able to withstand the pressure of the other meraglim and act independently? Rashi cites a medrash which says that when “Moshe called Hoshea bin Nun, Yehoshua" (Bamidbar 13:16) he was praying that Yehoshua should not be influenced by the evil plans of the other meraglim. The name change implies (as Rashi notes) this prayer. “May Hashem (Yud-Hay) save you from the plot of the Spies." The Targum Yonasan (See Tractate Megillah 3A where the Gemarah attributes its authorship to Reb Yonasan ben Uziel. Its overall style is very similar to that of Targum Onkelos, though at times it seems to be a looser paraphrase.) adds: "When Moshe saw his extreme humility, he called Hoshea bin Nun, Yehoshua." Caleiv, however, managed, on his own, that is without Moshe interceding on his behalf, to withstand the mergalim's scheme.

  • Bais Havaad on the Parsha, Parshas Eikev,Bais Havaad on the Parsha
    Bais HaVaad on the Parsha, Parshas Ha’azinu Good Condition Excerpted and adapted from a shiur by Dayan Yehoshua Grunwald September 17, 2021 https://baishavaad.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/DEV81_010_Haazinu_Legal_Owner _Giving_and_Owning_Your_Daled_Minim.mp3 On the first two days of Sukkos, one must own the arba’ah minim in order to fulfill the mitzvah of taking them. Those who do not own their own arba’ah minim generally use someone else’s set via matanah al menas lehachzir (giving a gift on the condition that it is returned afterward). But it is not clear whether tenai kaful (a double condition, i.e., where both the “if” and “if not” possibilities are expressed), which is necessary for conditions in other areas of halacha, is required here. According to the Smag, one must make a tenai kaful when giving a matanah al menas lehachzir for arba’ah minim. The Mordechai disagrees and notes that Rishonim debate whether a tenai kaful is necessary for conditions outside of gittin and kidushin (such as for mamonos). The Mordechai states that the halacha follows the Rashbam that it is unnecessary for mamonos. The Bais Yosef (O.C. 658) cites this machlokes and rules that we follow the Mordechai with regard to arba’ah minim. Although the Bais Yosef elsewhere (E.H. 38) cites both opinions and does not rule definitively like the Rashbam, the case of esrog may be more lenient for a number of reasons.
