  • Shovavim T"T
    SHOVAVIM T"T As the reading of the book of Shemot is starting (Two weeks after Hanukka) it signifies the starting of a special cosmic opening that lasts for the coming 6 weeks (8 weeks on a leap year). The word SHOVAVIM stands for the initials (in Hebrew) of the names of the weekly Parashot of this time of the year: Shemot Va’era Bo Beshalah Yitro Mishpatim (Teruma Tetsave) The word that comes out as the initials of these Parashot of Exodus, SHOVAVIM means in Hebrew “irresponsible” Jeremiah 3:14. During those weeks of readings those Parashot tell us about the story of the Exodus. The Kabbalistic tradition teaches us that the story is only a code for the cosmic opening available on this part of the year. This opening is allowing us to achieve a personal redemption. The Ari in Sha’ar HaPsukim (Pages 101-126) is teaching us the more precise details of the energy of those weeks: The Ari explains that the fall of Adam had a strong effect on most of life’s aspects resulting in human pain and suffering. The most important aspects of the Fall of Adam have been corrected by Moses and the Israelites during the time of the Exodus, resulting in achieving immortality on Mt Sinai. All the tools used by Moses at the Exodus are available to us during the weeks of the SHOVAVIM. The Kabbalah Centre International © 1 The readings of the Torah, the Zohar and the special meditations of those weeks can help us in few ways: • Coming closer to our true selves • Releasing and redeeming lost sparks of light from the klipot.

  • Yom Kippur 2010/5771
    1 Rabbi Lester Bronstein Yom Kippur 5771/2010 “The Inner Shabbat: Shabbat Shabbaton (Everywhere and All the Time)” We Jews like to tout our ancestors for having realized that circumcision reduces cervical cancer and cancer of the male genitalia, and now is seen as a major stopgap to AIDS in Africa, and therefore “weren’t those Jews savvy when they came up with the idea of the b’ris!” We like to say that our forebears picked up the connection between pigs and trichinosis and then forbade the eating of pork. The same goes for mercury exposure from shellfish. Again, Yiddishe kop to the rescue! Likewise with the washing of hands before a meal. See? Our people avoided the Black Plague by practicing this ritual! True, we suffered persecution and mass murder by people who figured we had caused the Plague, but it was still better than being wiped out by the pandemic. 2 I’m all for enjoying the practical benefits of our Jewish traditions. And if the improving of health or the saving of life had anything at all to do with the emergence of these mitzvot, then mah tov. All to the good. But neither the Rabbis of the 1st century, nor Maimonides of the 12th, nor any serious Jewish thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries think that health or physical survival had much to do with it. Of course, if you’re a real traditionalist you believe that God is the direct source of these mitzvot, and not natural sociological forces. And God has God’s own reasons for making us circumcise our sons, eat only specific types of animals, refrain from our labors one day a week, and examine our souls while fasting on this one day a year.

  • The UK Community Shabbaton at Home - a Unique Opportunity
    The UK Community Shabbaton at home - A Unique Opportunity “In a crisis, be aware of the danger but recognize the opportunity.” President John F. Kennedy. We are in a crisis, there is no doubt about it. However, as President Kennedy said, we must recognise the opportunity. Two weeks ago, my children were getting worried. It was the first lockdown Shabbat, what were they going to do? No children or youth services, no guests, no going round to friends’ houses. ‘I am not looking forward to Shabbat’, said one of them. So we decided to create the first ‘Family Shaw Shabbaton at home’. We planned a programme with a schedule with games, readings and activities. We had ‘shul at home’ altogether, which in some ways was more meaningful than a regular Shabbat. Every meal was a focus of discussions and singing. We all had a wonderful time. The thought struck me during Shabbat, why cannot everyone do this? Have a Shabbaton at home. Thankfully, Rabbi Daniel Fine of Stanmore and Canons Park United Synagogue had a similar idea and along with Rabbi Michael Laitner of the United Synagogue and David Reuben, our Director of Programmes we have spent the last ten days devising the first ever ‘UK Community Weekend at Home’. A project of Mizrachi UK in partnership with the United Synagogue. Huge thanks to them as well as to Richard Verber from the United Synagogue who has helped with all the IT and Gemma Denby from Mizrachi UK for liaising with all the communities. Tens of thousands of homes all across the UK are joining together both with their communities in spirit as well as nationally to celebrate Shabbat in your homes.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

  • ===Rabbinic Reflections
    H A R 5 N A T E M P L E e In ===== RABBINIC REFLECTIONS ===== Whose side is God on anyway? Throughout history, there have been religious leaders who believe that God takes sides on issues. They insist that God speaks directly to them, revealing God's thoughts, preferences and opinions. In the Bible and Jewish literature, many of these so called "spokesmen" for God were deemed charlatans or false prophets. They aroused more hatred, divisiveness, and societal consternation than spiritual enlightenment. The prophets of Israel were considered true prophets because they encouraged faith and commitment to the ideals of Jewish belief as a way of strengthening the community rather than tearing it apart. They were more interested in actions that would help the poor, the downtrodden, and those who were left behind, than in judging the opinions of Israelites on any given issue. And, throughout the millennia, their words have been considered some of the most stirring calls for the improvement and the betterment of society. Today, there are those who consider themselves spokesmen for God while their utter disregard for the spirit and essence of religious teaching belies all sense ol rational thought. In this category of false prophets and of charlatanry is Pc.; Robertson, the televangelist who was a former Republican aspirant to the presiden­ cy of the United States. Recently, he called for the assassination of a democraticallr elected foreign leader of a sovereign country. He has also inveighed against Ariel Sharon for being "too soft" with the Palestinians. Yet, he enjoys a substantial follow­ ing of those who believe he speaks in the name of God.
