Hashem has enabled me to spread the teachings of His Torah to the various crowds that I address, enabling both them and myself to come closer to Him. I would like to thank Hashem for having given me the opportunity to establish Torah institutions for Jews returning to their spiritual roots, as well as for bnei Torah. I would also like to thank Him for having helped me to continue this sacred endeavor. This book, based on the weekly sections of the Torah, is one of ethics and morals. It was written so as to guide both myself and others in the fear of Heaven, and it is designed for people who, like myself, wish to elevate themselves in Torah and the fear of G-d. I thank G-d for having rescued me as I left yeshiva, when the evil inclination was inciting me to enjoy the pleasures of this world. Seeing that I was a young, single student, as well as the descendant of a pure and holy family, the evil inclination wanted to divert me from the right path. In fact it almost succeeded in entrapping me, and I felt that I was almost giving into it. If not for G-d’s help and the merit of my fathers, who knows where I would be today? G-d’s kindness got the upper hand, and the merit of my fathers came to my rescue. I therefore left the place where I was living at the time and put myself into exile. I wandered from city to city, traveling to Morocco several times in order to pray by the graves of my ancestors. At that time I began collecting stories that people would tell me about the tzaddikim, recording them in a journal. This reconnected me to the blood of my ancestors – the very blood that flowed in my veins – and from then on people began visiting me for advice and blessings. They did this even though I knew nothing. I was an empty well, devoid of all knowledge, since I had forgotten almost everything I had learned. However I suddenly received help from Heaven, and I began succeeding in all my endeavors. In fact everything I had learned was coming back to me, and I began to develop a love for Torah. Still, the evil inclination was not finished with its plans, lest it lose me for good! This miserable wretch caused me great suffering, bringing hardships upon me day after day. How many times did I decide to stop following the footsteps of my ancestors and plan, as so many others did, to begin working or start a business! However I always lost money, and everything I did to earn a living ended up in failure. I began to pray more and more for the Creator to open my eyes, until finally His kindness prevailed. This happened about 15 years ago, after a certain event. 9 A Jewish man from Paris, who was married to a non-Jew, came to ask me for a blessing. My response, which surprised even myself, was to yell at him as if I was an army officer. In fact I ordered him to divorce his wife! When he left, I felt like another man. I understood that Heaven had appointed me for this task, meaning that I had to help people do teshuvah, just as I myself had done teshuvah. In fact everyone, virtuous or not, must constantly do teshuvah for as long as they live. At the time I felt obligated to take the same path that my ancestors had taken, for immediately after this incident people began coming to me from every corner of the globe for advice and blessings. In fact the money I was receiving amounted to a small fortune, yet what was I to do with it all? As most people know, the Pinto family had never, up to that point, established a yeshiva or Beit Midrash. I therefore decided to set up institutions to further the study of Torah, and with G-d’s help I will establish as many Torah institutions as there are tzaddikim in the Pinto family, namely 26. Whenever a person becomes famous, he finds himself confronted by those who seek to oppose him. People become his enemies and say, “Only yesterday he was one of us, so how did he suddenly become a leader? Why is he lauded and admired by thousands for his wonders and miracles? Perhaps he’s using the power of the occult!” Others say, “He’s obviously making all this stuff up and fooling people!” When I heard such slanderous things being said about me, I became dejected and didn’t know if I should stop or continue. However one thing I did know was that my success was due to the merit of my fathers! I had placed my trust in the kindness of Hashem, and I began to give public lectures to thousands of people. The goal of these talks was to bring people back to their source, back to the Torah. I covered my ears at the same time, ignoring the gossip swirling about me and accepting my suffering with love. I remember that 13 years ago, in the French city of Lyon, I asked my father (may his merit protect us) what I should do. Should I continue what I was doing or should I stop? My father became angry and said, “Did you take leave of your senses? Are you better than Moses and Aaron? Are you better than the Baal Shem Tov or all the other tzaddikim, those far more righteous than yourself, who did not react to the insults hurled at them?” When I told my father that I wasn’t at their level of holiness, he replied, “Every Jew has the ability to reach the level of our teacher Moses. One step in this direction is enough to overcome your weakness. Connect yourself to the tzaddikim, read the books that discuss their lives and deeds, and in this way you can learn a great deal from their conduct.” That was precisely what I did. I have received many letters from great Torah figures of our generation, letters in which I am addressed as a tzaddik, saint, or venerable individual. This makes me feel extremely uncomfortable, since I am not a tzaddik, a saint, or venerable. I have a feeling that I am deceiving those who see me in this way. I asked one rabbi for help by showing me how to overcome my weakness when receiving such letters. He simply told me, “The letters that you receive from these great men, letters in which they 10 ascribe great qualities to you – ones that you don’t feel you have – they must compel you to obtain those very same qualities! You must strengthen your service of Hashem, for it is possible that you can reach this level one day, and perhaps even surpass it!” I answered, “That’s an impossible goal. I’m an adult and I have responsibilities. I don’t have the time to become pure and holy like my ancestors.” He very simply repeated, “Do what you have to do and what is expected of you. Then have faith in Hashem and His will. The main thing is that you surrender to Hashem’s will.” I am revealing my intentions here to everyone reading this, asking that they not judge me for my deficiencies, failings, and limited Torah understanding, for I am not making any claims of being among the great. I have not asked for anyone to think of me in the way that some people do, and I have not sought the position that I find myself in, one that only attracts jealously, suffering, deprivation, exile, and dangerous travels. I find this all the more difficult because I always have to fight my evil inclination and overcome the pride that is aroused by the honors I receive. I have no desire for official positions, honor, wealth, or donations. All I ever wanted was to be a simple Jew who earned an honest living in business.

  • Bereishit (Genesis)
    Issues and Comments The Book of Bereishit (Genesis) Introduction Bereishit Noach Lech Lecha Vayeira Chayei Sarah Toldot Vayeitzei Vayishlach Vayeishev Mikeitz Vayigash Vayechi Haftarot Note: all quotations and comments refer to the interpolated translation unless otherwise indicated. All comments are by Moshe Wisnefsky unless otherwise indicated. Introduction Title: Bereishit Some people questioned the advisability of ending this word with a ‘t’ at the end, because of its negative connotation in secular society. So, we looked at a number of Kehos books (e.g., R’ Schochet’s translations of Likutei Sichot) and found that the use of “Bereishit” was not uncommon. Personally, I thought the whole question was a bit silly, reminded me of being in fourth grade. Here in Israel, sometimes when their teaching kids the 12 pesukim, they change the last word of the one that ends “batachtonim,” because in Modern Hebrew “tachtonim” [also] means “underwear.” But this is for 7-8 year-olds. Hebrew: Double parashiot However, in the Shai LaMora edition, the .שני כשהם מחוברין In most Chumashim, the formula is The Hebrew text file we used came using the second version, so that’s .שני במחוברין formula is what we stuck with. CONCEPTS: The following are some of the specific issues where science and Torah are commonly considered to contradict each other. I have not included spontaneous generation, because (1) the issue is not raised in the written Torah, and (2) it would have unnecessarily made us look totally wacko. CONCEPTS: ARCHEOLOGY: In most cases, it is the lack of archeological attestation of particular event or period that is purported to refute the Torah’s account.

While a growing field of criticism addresses the representation of scriptural stories in painting, sculpture and film, the artwork in this study does not look to the Bible for its subject matter. The intertextual/intermedia comparisons instead address five different genres of biblical literature and read them according to various dynamics found in Modern images. In forming these relationships I challenge traditional perceptions of characters and literary style by allowing an artistic representation or pictorial method to highlight issues of selfhood, gender and power and by revaluing narrative and poetry in nuanced aesthetic terms.

  • Jeremiah Introduction
    Jeremiah Introduction Jeremiah, the 7th century prophet, lived during the tumultuous times that were taking place in the Middle East. The Assyrian Empire was about to crumble before the armies of the Babylonia and Chaldea. Little Judah was under the leadership of King Josiah, and hoped to survive this uncertain political and military scene. There was a renewal of faith in Judah under Josiah which caused the people to be united during his lifetime but upon his death that unity disappeared. In the light of the uncertainty of domination, Egypt sought to gain an advantage by capturing Judah and Jerusalem. However, just as this was about to take place the Egyptians were soundly defeated at the battle of Carchemish. As the Babylonian army marched against Palestine, the city of Jerusalem and the temple were plundered by Babylonian soldiers. A puppet king was established in Palestine. Babylon experienced an internal revolt, resulting in Egypt’s hope to gain control but the Babylonians were able to become firmly established. Jehoahaz (also called Shallum) ruled for three months and then was taken to Egypt by Pharaoh Neco. Jehoiakim (also called Eliakim) reigned for eleven years during which time Judah was a buffer state between the two great powers: Egypt and King Nebuchadnezzar. During this time the current Canaanite religion came into vogue and was practiced by many residents. Zedekiah then reigned for eleven yeas and was taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar as a prisoner. Jehoichin (also called Jeconiah or Coniah) tried to rule, though his rule lasted only three months and he was taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar at the same time that Ezekiel was taken into captivity in Babylon.
