  • Oneg 6 – Toldos 2018
    1 Oneg! A collection of fascinating material on the weekly parsha! Rabbi Elchanan Shoff Parshas TOLDOS Avraham begat Yitzchak (Gen. 25:19). The Or Hachaim and R. Shlomo Kluger (Chochmas Hatorah, Toldos p. 3) explain that it was in Avraham’s merit that G-d accepted Yitzchak’s prayers and granted him offspring. Rashi (to Gen. 15:15, 25:30) explains that G-d had Avraham die five years earlier than he otherwise should have in order that Avraham would not see Yitzchak’s son Esau stray from the proper path. I saw in the name of R. Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld (Chochmas Chaim to Toldos) that if Yitzchak had not campaigned vigorously in prayer to father a child, G-d would have granted him children anyways after five years. So in which merit did Yitzchak father his children, in Avraham’s merit or in the merit of his own prayers? Both are true: It was only in Avraham’s merit that Yitzchak deserved to father Yaakov and Esau, but the fact that the twins were born earlier rather than later came in merit of Yitzchak’s prayers. R. Sonnenfeld adds that the Torah’s expression equals in Gematria the (748 = ויעתר לו י-ה-ו-ה) that denotes G-d heeding Yitzchak’s prayers .The above sefer records that when a grandson of R .)748 = חמש שנים) phrase five years Sonnenfeld shared this Gematria with R. Aharon Kotler, he was so taken aback that he exclaimed, “I am certain that this Gematria was revealed through Ruach HaKodesh!” Yitzchak was forty years old when he took Rivkah—the daughter of Besuel the Aramite from Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramite—as a wife (Gen.

The curricula oppose modernity. Acceptance of Others is limited and unequal, depending on perceived threats to the Haredi community’s identity and its goals. Most study, particularly for boys, is conducted outside the curricula where they learn religious (mostly Torah) studies, the result of a compromise with the State of Israel; that study is generally archaic in style, using expressions and ideas common in the 1950s and 60s; and often features exaggerated, inappropriate language typically absent in newer high-quality textbooks. Anti-Semitism, Peace and Haredi Identity Hatred of the Jewish people by the “nations of the world” is understood to be a permanent historical reality. Paradoxically, this understanding, though seemingly pessimistic, is also expressed as hopeful, focusing on the victory of the spiritual over the material and advocating a mission and meaning for each person’s life.

  • Ohev Yisroel Parshas Ki Sisa
    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) TE TZAVEH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah An Incense Offering The Mizbei’ach HaZohov (Golden Altar), on which the ketores (incense) was burned, was among the furniture and vessels of the Mishkon . However, although almost all the furniture and vessels of the Mishkon are described in Parshas Teruma , the making of the Mizbei’ach HaZohov is described only in Parshas Tetzaveh , in which the clothing of the Kohanim are depicted. Why is this so? The time would come, explains Rav Levi Yitzchok, when Korach and his cohorts would challenge Aharon’s rights to the position of Kohen Godol . At that time, Moshe would use the ketores as the litmus test. Both Aharon and the challengers would bring pans of ketores . Aharon’s would be accepted, while the disputers would perish in the attempt. Therefore, in the context of the priestly vestments described in Parshas Tetzaveh , which enabled Aharon to perform his duties in the Mishkon , the Torah also describes the Mizbei’a ch HaZohov that would one day authenticate Aharon’s claims to the high office of Kohen Godol . n Story The following story, often told by Rav Sholom Schwadron, took place in a small town 1 Tet zaveh / [email protected] in the Ukraine. It involves a kind-hearted, wealthy man named Zalman, who gave generously to poor people and other charitable causes.
