  • Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, the Recent Uptick in Covid-19 Prompts
    1 Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, The recent uptick in Covid-19 prompts this letter. The Torah requires that we avoid dangerous activity. The protection afforded to Mitzvah performance does not apply when danger is prevalent (Pesachim 8b). In all gatherings, masks covering everyone's mouth and nose must be worn. In addition, appropriate social distance between attendees (except for members of the same household) must be maintained. Hands must be washed with soap and water or with proper hand sanitizer. On Shabbos and Yom Tov liquid soap or sanitizer may and must be used. On Simchas Torah, the usual hakafos and dancing are prohibited. At the discretion of every local rav, hakafos may be limited or eliminated. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Upon advice from medical experts, we recommend that the sefer Torah not be passed from one person to another. Preferably, one person should circle the bima 7 times. After each hakafa the tzibur should join in an appropriate nigun and "dance" in place. The practice of everyone getting an aliya is a minhag, not a din, and may be adjusted or eliminated at the discretion of the local rav (see links here and here for similar horaos}. Similarly, at weddings the usual dancing is prohibited. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Chasanim and their families are urged to limit the size of weddings and to insist upon and enforce masking and appropriate distancing by all their guests. Adherence to all the above is required by the halacha which demands great caution to protect life and good health.

  • Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah Kol Korei: Ki Am Kadosh Atah
    Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Kol Korei: Ki Am Kadosh Atah February 9, 2021 Download (PDF, 491KB) Agudath Israel of America, today, shared a Kol Korei from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America, as the Covid-19 pandemic continues. At the time of Agudas Yisroel’s founding in Katowitz in 1912, it established a body known as the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, consisting of gedolim from across Europe to stand at the helm of the movement. It has always been the hallmark of the Agudah, whether in pre-war Europe or post-war America, that its policies have been guided by the words of the Moetzes. The Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America has steered, advised, and guided American Orthodox Jewry through the challenges of Galus America for some three- quarters of a century, and continues to do so today. 27 Shevat, 5781 “Spring has passed and summer is over – we have not yet been saved.” (Yirmiyah 8:20) Thousands of our fellow Jews, among them Torah giants and tzaddikim, have been afflicted with the terrible COVID-19 disease, and – may Hashem help us! – many of those have passed away. The pandemic has greatly diminished the Torah learning in our yeshivos, Bais Yaakovs, and shuls; it has curtailed our Yomim Tovim and celebrations. It is clear that there is upon our nation an appeal from Heaven to correct our ways. Every person must examine his behavior and strengthen whatever may be lacking. But, in addition to that, the public – as a tzibbur – must examine its collective actions and lifestyle. We therefore feel it important to bring up a fundamental and broad point on which the public should now focus.

But the story of People of Israel even before the granting of the Torah to the Golden Calf in the parsha is preceded by teachings Israel at Mount Sinai will definitely outlive and regarding the sanctity of the Shabat. The rabbis outperform the shiny new Golden Calf that is now being attributed the presence of this Shabat subject in the worshipped so avidly. parsha as a further indication that even the construction Golden Calves come and go but the eternity of of the Mishkan cannot take precedence over the Shabat and Torah remain valid for all times and sanctity of Shabat. circumstances. This reflection is buttressed in the Torah But there is another insight that is available by its repetition of the sanctity of Shabat many times in here as well. The dangers of Golden Calves, false gods, these parshiyot that mark the conclusion of the book of apparently shining and enticing ideals that only lead to Shemot. Our Mishkan is built only with Shabat and eventual disaster, is something that is always present in never in contravention of Shabat.

  • Parshas Re'eh
    LIVING WITH THE PARSHAH 5779, PARSHAS RE’EH ROSH CHODESH ELUL By HARAV YAAKOV FEITMAN, KEHILLAS BAIS YEHUDAH TZVI One of the great Baalei Mussar of the past several generations was Rav Leib Chasman zt”l. In his classic sefer Ohr Yahel, he marvels at the power of the opening word Re’eh of our Sedra. He points out that the posuk did not say “Listen” or “You should know,” but “See.” This means, he explains, that the Torah is guaranteeing that we have the ability to attain the level of certainty that our actions have brought a blessing to our homes and families. It would have been sufficient to be promised that we will receive blessings even in this world for our good deeds, for in truth there doesn’t have to be reward in this world, since there is a much more important world coming up. The Torah’s use of the word Re’eh in such a prominent position indicates that Hashem wants us to be aware that we can iyH see those blessings. Furthermore, he teaches that the word lifneichem – before you – indicates that we actually don’t even have to search for this proof; it is right in front of our eyes and we need but reach out and it is ours. Let us explore these important words a bit. Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin (Rinas Yitzchok, page 352) quotes the Maharal (Gur Aryeh here) that unlike Hashem’s warning that sin results in curses and punishment, good deeds result in blessings immediately. Why is that? The Rinas Yitzchok explains that when we even plan to do something good, we are rewarded even if our plans don’t happen for some reason (Kiddushin 40a).
