  • Parashat Behar Bechukotai
    Kol Rina An Independent Minyan Parshiyot Behar - Bechukotai May 16, 2020 *** Iyar 22, 5780 Kol Rina – An Independent Minyan, is a traditional egalitarian community. We are haimish (homey/folksy), friendly, participatory, warm and welcoming. We hold weekly services in South Orange as well as holiday services and celebrations which are completely lay led. We welcome all to our services and programs from non-Hebrew readers to Jewish communal and education professionals. Behar – Bechukotai in a Nutshell https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/2904/jewish/Behar-Bechukotai-in-a-Nutshell.htm On the mountain of Sinai, G-d communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast. Seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by a fiftieth year—the Jubilee year, on which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are set free, and all ancestral estates in the Holy Land that have been sold revert to their original owners. Additional laws governing the sale of lands, and the prohibitions against fraud and usury, are also given. G-d promises that if the people of Israel will keep His commandments, they will enjoy material prosperity and dwell secure in their homeland. But He also delivers a harsh “rebuke,” warning of the exile, persecution and other evils that will befall them if they abandon their covenant with Him. Nevertheless, “Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; nor will I ever abhor them, to destroy them and to break My covenant with them; for I am the L-rd their G-d.” The Parshah concludes with the rules on how to calculate the values of different types of pledges made to G-d.

  • PARASHAT SHEMINI the Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals
    PARASHAT SHEMINI The Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals Prohibited for Consumption By Rav Amnon Bazak A. The Problem In the aftermath of the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, the Torah suddenly interrupts the narrative with a command highlighting an additional function of the kohanim: And to distinguish between the holy and the profane, and between the impure and the pure; and to instruct Bnei Yisrael concerning all of the statutes which God spoke to them at the hand of Moshe. (10:10-11) These verses set forth the framework for the chapters that follow in chiastic order. First, the Torah discusses the differences between the impure and the pure, in terms of the types of animals that may be eaten and those that may not (chapter 11), and the various types of impurity and purity (Parashot Acharei Mot, Tazri'a, and Metzora); thereafter, it addresses the differences between the holy and the profane (Parashot Kedoshim andEmor). What do these categories and the differentiation between them have to do with the sin of Nadav and Avihu? Why are the kohanim given the new job of differentiating between the holy and profane and between the impure and the pure specifically here, in the midst of the events of the "eighth day"? In order to answer this question, let us examine the animals forbidden as food as listed in chapter 11. We will find two groups of prohibitions in this chapter, and we will discuss the connection between them and the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu.

    Written by: Rachel Leah Lovat Editor: David Michaels Parshat Beshalach 5778 In this week’s Parasha the Bnei Yisrael have left Egypt and are at the Yam Suf The Meshech Chochma answers that there could always have been a claim trapped by the sea with the Egyptians chasing after them. They were made against the Bnei Yisrael throughout the ordeal they went through in trapped and afraid and Hashem saves them by splitting the sea so they could Egypt. However, the Kateigur - prosecuting attorney - had no voice in Egypt pass. The Midrash, a passage in the Zohar in Terumah (170b), relates a because the Bnei Yisrael were never divided in Egypt. They showed conversation that the Malachim have with Hashem as the Bnei Yisrael are tremendous achdus and unity throughout the slavery they went through. going through the Yam Suf with the Egyptians giving chase. However, Rashi explains at the splitting of the sea the Bnei Yisrael were The Malachim ask Hashem, “Why are You saving the Bnei Yisrael and divided; whilst some turned to Hashem in prayer, others wanted to go back performing miracles for them but You are destroying the Egyptians (by to Egypt and some wanted to fight the Egyptians. Once this in-fighting started, the prosecuting attorney was given a voice. He says to Hashem, “I הללו עובדי עבודה ,הללו עובדי עבודה זרה ,planning to drown them)? After all these are idolaters and these are idolaters! The Jews have descended understand why You didn’t destroy them in Egypt because in Egypt the Bnei –זרה to the 49th level of Tumah and you are saving them, but not the Egyptians?’ Yisrael were unified, so I could not say anything against them, but here at the Yam Suf the Bnei Yisrael are divided so do not deserve to be saved” The Midrash continues that it was indeed, so to speak, difficult for Hashem to save the Jews and to overcome this just claim of the Kateigur, the This idea that division and dispute gives greater voice to the accusor is prosecuting attorney, until morning came.

All rights reserved. —The Family House of Study— Examining the Parashat HaShavuah by Thematic Analysis Welcome to Mishpachah Beit Midrash, the Family House of Study. Each Shabbat1 we gather in our home and study the Scriptures, specifically the Torah.2 It’s a fun time of receiving revelation from the Ruach HaKodesh3. Everyone joins in—adults and children—as we follow the Parashat HaShavuah4 schedule. We devote ourselves to studying the Torah because the Torah is the foundation for all of Scripture. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the Torah will help us more fully understand the rest of the Tanakh5 and the Brit Chadasha.6 Furthermore, as Yeshua stated Himself, the Torah teaches about Him. So we study the Torah in order to be drawn closer to Yeshua, the goal of the Torah. As believers in the Messiah we have discovered the richness of the wisdom of the sages of Israel. These men, who devoted themselves to the study of the Torah, have left us a rich heritage. Part of that heritage is a unique method of learning and interpreting the Scriptures. It’s called thematic analysis. In thematic analysis we search for the underlying theme/topic of each passage of Scripture.

    Parshat Balak 17 Tammuz 5775 /June 30, 2018 Daf Yomi: Zevachim 78; Nach Yomi: Isaiah 38 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 What Do You See? Rabbi Yisroel Brotsky Associate Member, Young Israel Council of Rabbis Our perceptions mold the world in which we live. But as the saying goes: “two Jews in the room and you will have three different opinions.” I was learning in the Beit Midrash, when all of a sudden a man wearing tefillin and a gun in his shoulder holster came storming in! That’s right, a gun! I was petrified, thinking: around these parts it was highly unusual to see a man sporting a gun, and he seemed a bit impetuous. I tried to keep my cool and pretend I didn’t notice anything unusual. Apparently, I wasn’t as discreet as I thought I was. He asked me, “What are you looking at?” I hesitated in fear, and he continued, “Oh you are probably looking at my tefillin. They are a Sephardic pair for a lefty and I had to turn it around. You probably never saw that before!” I immediately responded, “eh, exactly! That is exactly what I noticed, it is so interesting.” Perception is everything − two people and two very different perceptions. Perhaps the tefillin should have piqued my interest more than the gun. Parshat Balak is all about vision and perception. We begin with “Vayar Balak” (and Balak saw).

  • Matot - Massei
    Matot - Massei MATOT In this weeks' Parshah, the Torah tells us to be very careful about making promises so that we don’t accidentally break them. Instead of making a promise, one should say “I hope I can . .” Last week, we read how Pinchas killed Zimri and the Midianite woman when they tried to marry against G-d’s will. G-d now commands the Jewish people to wage war against the Midianites for trying to convince the Jews to act immorally and worship idols. Moshe chooses 1,000 men from each of the twelve tribes to serve as soldiers and appoints Pinchas as one of the leaders of the army. When the Midianites see the Jewish army coming to fight them, they laugh and say, “The Jewish army is so small, we will win over them for sure!” However, with G-d’s help, the Jewish army is victorious over the Midianites without losing even one soldier. After the war is over, two tribes, Reuven and Gad, approach Moshe to make a request. They ask him if they can settle with their families on the east side of the Jordan River instead of crossing the river and entering the Land of Israel. “Why didn’t they want to join the rest of the Jewish People and enter into land of Israel?” you might wonder. Well, these two tribes owned a lot of cattle. They noticed that the land on the east of the Jordan was very fertile, with rich, green grass for their cattle to graze. Also, they knew that Moshe would not be buried in the Land of Israel and so they wanted to remain near Moshe’s burial place.

    Torah.org Parshas Beshalach and Tu BeShvat The Judaism Site https://torah.org/torah-portion/shem-meshmuel-5764-beshalach/ PARSHAS BESHALACH AND TU BESHVAT by Rabbi Dr. Meir Tamari 'When Pharaoh sent out the people, G-d did not lead them by way - baderekh- of the land of the Philistines...... perhaps the people will see war and return to Egypt. [Rather] He turned them through the desert way, to the Red Sea' (Shmot, 13: 17). Did Pharaoh send them out? After all Hashem took them out. 'G-d takes them out of Egypt' (Bilaam. Devarim, 23:22). What are we to understand from the use of baderekh rather than the simple derekh, through? What is the connection with the Philistines, whose land lies to the north of Har Sinai to which the people were to travel in order to receive the Torah, as G-d told Moshe, 'You will worship at this Mount'? Were the people so stupid as to willingly go back to the slavery and oppression they had only just left? [The last part of the question must be seen in the perspective of the treatment by Chassidic thinkers of the various rebellions and backslidings of Israel in the desert. They did not explain these as did the Rambam, Rashi and others as an effect of their slave mentality or of the need to wean them from that relationship with Egypt. Rather, in accordance with Chazal's view of them as dor deah, a wise and knowledgeable generation, they saw all of them, throughout the Torah as the errors in religious thought or the spiritual misunderstandings of a great generation who, more than any other in our history, merited miracles and Matan Torah].

  • Matot of Bnei Yisrael? 2
    Dear Youth Directors, Youth chairs, and Youth Leaders, NCYI is excited to continue our very successful Parsha Nation Guides. I hope you’re enjoying and learning from Parsha Nation as much as we are. Putting together Parsha Nation every week is indeed no easy task. It takes a lot of time and effort to ensure that each section, as well as each age group, receives the attention and dedication it deserves. We inspire and mold future leaders. The youth leaders of Young Israel have the distinct honor and privilege to teach and develop the youth of Young Israel. Children today are constantly looking for role models and inspirations to latch on to and learn from. Whether it is actual sit-down learning sessions, exciting Parsha trivia games, or even just walking down the hall to the Kiddush room, our youth look to us and watch our every move. It’s not always about the things we say, it’s about the things we do. Our children hear and see everything we do whether we realize it or not. This year we are taking our Youth Services to new heights as we introduce our Leadership Training Shabbaton. This engaging, interactive shabbaton will give youth leaders hands on experience and practical solutions to effectively guide your y outh department. Informal education is key. What the summer shows us as educators is that informal education can deliver better results and help increase our youth’s connection to Hashem. More and more shuls are revamping their youth program to give their children a better connection to shul and to Hashem.
