Tehillim 101.Indd — ספר תהילים קא | Tehillim / Psalms 101 — ספר תהילים קא | Tehillim / Psalms 101 MATSATI.COM Ministry | http://www.matsati.com The Torah begins and ends with Grace א ְל ָד ִוד ִמזְמוֹר ֶח ֶסד- ִוּמ־ ,In this week’s study from Tehillim / Psalms 101:1-8, the Psalm opens saying A Psalm of David 101:1 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To You, O ְשׁ ָפּט ָא ִשׁ ָירה ְלָך יְה ָֹוה ֲאזַ ֵמּ ָרה: ,of God. He continues saying ( ֶח ֶסד) Lord, I will sing praises. (NASB) David speaks of singing of the grace ב ְאַש ֹ ִכּ ָילה | ְבּ ֶד ֶרְך ָתּ ִמים ָמ ַתי ָתּבוֹא ֵא ָלי ֶא ְת ַה ֵלְּך ְבּ ָתם- ְל ָב ִבי ְבּ ֶק ֶרב ֵבּ ִיתי: ג ֹלא- ָא ִשׁית | ְלנֶגֶד ֵעינַי ְדּ ַבר- ְבּ ִליָּ ַעל I will give heed to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I 101:2 ֲעש ֹה- ֵס ִטים ָש ֹנֵ ִאתי ֹלא יִ ְד ַבּק ִבּי: will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. 101:3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me. (NASB) When he says that he will set no worthless thing before his eyes, what do you think he was referring to? Idols or prostitutes? In ancient times, what did David consider worthless things that would go before his eyes? He seems to define what he ד ֵל ָבב ִע ֵקּשׁ יָסוּר ִמ ֶמּנִּי ָרע ֹלא ֵא ָדע: ה ְמ ָל ְושׁנִי [ ְמ ָל ְשׁנִי] ַב ֵסּ ֶתר | ֵר ֵעהוּ אוֹתוֹ ְאַצ ִמית ְגּ ַבהּ- ֵעינַיִם ,meant saying A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil. 101:5 Whoever 101:4 ְוּר ַחב ֵל ָבב א ֹתוֹ ֹלא ָאוּכל: secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure. (NASB) He speaks of the perverse heart, it seems clear what he is speaking of. Mishley / Provers 11:20 states, 11:20 The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their walk are His delight. (NASB) It is interesting how the deceitfulness of the heart in the sense of the perverse heart, what we look at, men make light of giving short weight or measure to the heart. The heart is a secret place and hidden from the sight of men, however the thoughts of the heart appear to be capable of violating the ו ֵעינַי | ְבּנֶ ֶא ְמנֵי- ֶא ֶרץ ,Torah of God, and so becoming an abomination to the Lord. David continues saying My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may 101:6 ָל ֶשׁ ֶבת ִע ָמּ ִדי ה ֹ ֵלְך ְבּ ֶד ֶרְך ָתּ ִמים הוּא יְ ָשׁ ְר ֵתנִי: dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. (NASB) Notice how the Lord speaks of the one who is faithful will minister to Him. What does it mean to minister to the Lord God ז ֹלא-יֵ ֵשׁב | ְבּ ֶק ֶרב ֵבּ ִיתי ע ֹ ֵש ֹה ְר ִמיָּה דּ ֹ ֵבר ְשׁ ָק ִרים ֹלא-יִכּוֹן ְלנֶגֶד ,of Israel? David concludes his psalm saying He who practices deceit shall 101:7 ֵעינָי: ח ַל ְבּ ָק ִרים ְאַצ ִמית ָכּל- ִר ְשׁ ֵעי- ֶאָרץ ְל ַה ְכ ִרית ֵמ ִעיר-יְה ָֹוה ָכּל-פּ ֹ ֲע ֵלי ֶאָון: not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. 101:8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to cut off from the city of the Lord all those who do iniquity. (NASB) The point is to walk in righteousness, justice, and truth all the days of our lives. Practicing deceit and falsehood does not demonstrate the fruits of our faith, and shows a lack thereof.

  • Shabbat Chazon
    Sat 14 July 2012 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Torah discussion on Pinchas When does speculation become lashon hara'? In this week’s parsha, Pinchas, a man named Tzelafchad dies, leaving five daughters. We are not told how or why he died: The daughters of Zelophehad…[said] "Our father died in the desert, but he was not in the assembly that banded together against the Lord in Korach's assembly, but he died for his own sin, and he had no sons…” [Num. 27:1-3] So we know he died presumably as punishment for some sin. Which? What did Tzelafchad do wrong? -Talmud: R. Akiva says: He was the man who gathered wood on Shabbat and was stoned to death as a result [Numbers 15:32] [Shabbat 96b] -Said Rabbi Judah ben Beteira to him: "Akiva! In either case you will be called to task. If you are right, the Torah shielded him, while you reveal him! And if not, you cast a stigma upon a righteous man.” [Shabbat 96b] -R. Shimon says: He was among those who ascended [the mountain] defiantly and died. [Rashi, Shabbat 97a]. They went up to go to the Holy Land before Moses and the Israelites were ready: And Moses said, Why do you now transgress the commandment of the Lord? But it shall not succeed. Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you; so that you should not be struck before your enemies. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.

  • Mishkan, Mo'eid, and Synagogue: a Place of Encounter and Presence Parshat Vayakhel-Pekudei, Exodus 35:1-38:20/ 38:21-40:38| By
    Mishkan, Mo’eid, and Synagogue: A Place of Encounter and Presence Parshat Vayakhel-Pekudei, Exodus 35:1-38:20/ 38:21-40:38| By Mark Greenspan “Synagogue Life” by Rabbi Craig T. Scheff, (pp.61-80) in The Observant Life Introduction The final chapters of Exodus contain an elaborate description of the building of the Tabernacle. Although many of these details of this project appear in earlier chapters the Torah goes on to describe the completion of the task as well as the various materials used in the implementation of the Tabernacle. In the final verses of Exodus we learn that the building of the Tabernacle was as momentous as the creation of the world. “When Moses had finished the work” (Exodus 40:33) echoes the language of creation: “On the seventh day God had finished the work that He had begun doing…” (Genesis 2:1). Once more we find the language of revelation in these final verses; the Tent of Meeting and the Tabernacle (Mishkan) are filled with a cloud just as Mount Sinai was surrounded by a cloud when God’s Presence descended on the mountain. The differences between the synagogue and the Tabernacle notwithstanding we are left to wonder about the connections between these two institutions. The Tabernacle was Israel’s first place of worship. The furnishings of our synagogue allow us to connect the synagogue with the Tabernacle: the ner tamid, the ark, and the menorah were among the furnishings of the ancient Mishkan. The Tabernacle was more than just a dwelling place of God; it was also a Tent of Meeting.

  • Rabbis on the Road: Exposition En Route in Classical Rabbinic Texts
    Rabbis on the Road: Exposition En Route in Classical Rabbinic Texts by Ruth Ellen Haber A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the Graduate Theological Union in Jewish Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel Boyarin, chair Professor Dina Stein Professor Michael Nylan Fall 2014 Abstract Rabbis on the Road: Exposition En Route in Classical Rabbinic Texts by Ruth Ellen Haber Joint Doctor of Philosophy in Jewish Studies with the Graduate Theological Union University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Boyarin, Chair Throughout classical rabbinic texts, we find accounts of sages expounding Scripture or law, while “walking on the road.” We may well wonder why we find these sages in transit, rather than in the usual sites of Torah study, such as the bet midrash (study house) or ʿaliyah (upper story of a home). Indeed, in this corpus of texts, sages normally sit to study; the two acts are so closely associated, that the very word “sitting” is synonymous with a study session or academy. Moreover, throughout the corpus, “the road” is marked as the site of danger, disruption and death. Why then do these texts tell stories of sages expounding en route? In seeking out the rabbinic road, I find that, against these texts’ pervasive notion of travel danger runs another, competing motif: the road as the proper – even necessary – site of Torah study. Tracing the genealogy of the road exposition (or “road derasha”), I find it rooted in traditional Wisdom texts, which have been adapted to form a new, “literal” metaphor.

    YMEGHILLAH Trattato yMeghillah Talmud di Gerusalemme a cura di Luciano Tagliacozzo Questa traduzione è stata fatta in memoria di Carlo Zilberstein z.l. PAGINA 1 DI 95 W W W. E - B R E I. N E T YMEGHILLAH Mishnah Il rotolo di Ester si legge: il giorno undici, dodici, tredici, quattordici, quindici del mese di Adar. Non prima non dopo. Le città circondate da mura dal tempo di Yehoshua Bin Nun leggono il rotolo di Ester il giorno quindici. I villaggi e le città lo leggono il quattordici. Ma i villaggi e le città grandi leggono la Megillah al quattordici di Adar.Però per gli abitanti dei villaggi fu stabilito (che potessero compiere la Mizvà) in un precedente giorno di riunione. Ghemarah Rabbi Ila, Simon Bar Ba in nome di Rabbi Yohanan dicono: è scritto (Ester 9, 31): "Per confermare questi giorni di Purim nei tempi prefissati". Che cosa vuol dire il testo con "nei tempi prefissati"?: Rabbi Yonah, Rabbi Yossà, (esprimono opinione su questo passo) Rabbi Yonah dice: nei tempi che avevano stabilito per loro i Maestri poi; e tali erano il giorno undici, dodici, tredici, quattordici e quindici, non i giorni sedici o diciassette. Rabbi Abahu in nome di Rabbi Lazar dice che "non prima e non dopo vuol significare non il giorno nove o dieci". Shemuel Bar Nachman in nome di Rabbi Yonatan nota che non è scritto "giorni" ma "come nei giorni" (Ester 9, 22), per aggiungere giorni addizionali, il giorno undici e il giorno dodici al quattordici e quindici. Oppure il giorno undici, il giorno dodici in corrispettivo al giorno quattordici e il giorno tredici in corrispettivo al giorno quindici.

(NASB) The giving of thanks is connected to those who were redeemed from the hand of the adversary. Who is the psalmist speaking of in regards to the adver- sary? The Psalm continues saying, 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. 107:5 They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. 107:6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. (NASB) The Lord hears the cry of the distressed. Note how the people cried out to the Lord and not to another kingdom for help. The psalmist states, 107:7 He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. 107:8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! Notice how the Lord leads His people on the straight path and not on a winding difficult path.

Myö- hemmät huomiot rakentuvat aina aiemman perinteen varaan niin, että joitain yksityiskohtia unohtuu siinä, missä osa tiedosta muuttuu – lisäksi traditioihin voidaan lisätä uutta ainesta.
