    Weekly Internet Parsha Sheet Vayeira 5777 Weekly Parsha VAYEIRA To paraphrase a famous cliché – it is too bad that perspective is often wasted Rabbi Wein’s Weekly Blog on the old. Over the past holiday of Succot when I visited with a beloved cousin of mine spending the holiday with his children and grandchildren in Wars, family dysfunction, and the danger of future extinction are the Jerusalem, I realized and remarked that I now have seen seven generations in challenges that confront our father Avraham and our mother Sarah in our family in my lifetime! the narrative that dominates this week’s Torah reading. In this era, Growing up in the Chicago of my childhood, when most of my peers never correcting the past and editing personal biographies to make people’s knew their grandparents, I never imagined I would ever be able to achieve such lives appear perfect, serene and smooth, is especially true. This a feat. To a certain extent, due to the grace of God and the unbelievable methodology attempts to make the subject character the model and advances in health care in our times, there is a tendency to accept and expect to prototype for others to admire and perhaps even imitate. see generations in one’s lifetime as a matter of course. And of course to think that way is not only a measure of ingratitude but it is a deprivation of the joy Who wants to have a life of troubles, frustrations, domestic strife and that otherwise is such a rare commodity in our lives.

  • Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling Among Chabad Hasidim
    religions Article Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling among Chabad Hasidim Simon Dein Academic Department of Psychiatry, University College London, Charles Bell House, 67-73 Riding House St, London W1W 7JE, UK; [email protected] Academic Editor: Malachi Hacohen Received: 9 May 2016; Accepted: 31 August 2016; Published: 13 September 2016 Abstract: In 1994 the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, died leaving no successor. His group split into two groups: messianists who maintained that the Rebbe had not died and was Moshiach, the Jewish Messiah, and the non messianists who agreed that the Rebbe had died. This paper focuses upon a prominent Chabad practice; the role of storytelling. I propose the question, “Whose interests do these stories serve?” Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Lubavitch, I present a number of narratives pertaining to the Rebbe’s miraculous feats. Following his death, stories surrounding the Lubavitcher Rebbe not only bolster his “charisma” but lead to a sense of his continuing presence. These stories are produced predominantly by the messianic faction of Lubavitch and following his death are published regularly on messianic websites. Keywords: Rebbe; Lubavitch; narrative; miracle 1. Introduction: Storytelling Folklorists and anthropologists have a longstanding interest in collecting personal stories, the analysis of which deepens their understanding of culture. Anthropologist Thomas Eriksen [1] underscores the fact that: In contemporary anthropology, pleas for narrative have almost become a cliché. Our journals regularly bring theoretical discussions about the centrality of narrative, about narrative as a key to understanding life, about the ways in which the great narratives of history mirror the small narratives of personal lives, and so on; but we rarely get on with actually telling stories.

    The Paradigm of Avraham Avinu / Marriages Are Dynamic Torah.org Relationships The Judaism Site https://torah.org/torah-portion/ravfrand-5777-vayera/ THE PARADIGM OF AVRAHAM AVINU / MARRIAGES ARE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIPS by Rabbi Yissocher Frand These divrei Torah were adapted from the hashkafa portion of Rabbi Yissocher Frand's Commuter Chavrusah Tapes on the weekly portion: #962 – Hard Cheese: Hot Dog After Pizza - Is There a Problem? Good Shabbos! The Paradigm of Avraham Avinu I would like to share two stories that are both related to Parshas Vayera. The first is an article written by a first lieutenant in the Israeli Army who participated in the "Second Lebanon War" (July-August 2006): "I remember the two weeks of near face to face combat, the confused orders, and insufficient combat gear; the intense hunger, physical and emotional exhaustion, and toughest of all the self- imposed silence and disassociation without our surroundings." (If you recall, this war was not very well planned. Soldiers were sent into battle without the right equipment. They did not even have proper food rations. By most accounts, it was a "failure" for the Israeli army.) "Our attitude was 'now is not the right time to complain but when it is all over – when the air raid sirens stop and we are out of these fatigues – we can talk and the truth will be known.' When the news came that we were receiving a day off, our hearts soared. We suffered so much stress and hardship; where would we go? How should we take full advantage of this gift? Rumors began to circulate that we were going to some school in Migdal HaEmek.

  • Points to Ponder Haggadah 5778 וניתורח ןמז– Why Is the Concept Of
    Points to Ponder Haggadah 5778 Why is the concept of Cheirus attached to Pesach? After all, Chazal tell us that there is no –זמן חרותינו free person except one who delves into Torah. Doesn’t that seem to be more applicable to Shavuos? Rav Aryeh Rottman1. explained that the acceptance of Ol Malchus Shomayim is the mark of Freedom. That acceptance occurred when the Jews pointed at the time of Kriyas Yam Suf when they said Zeh Keili V’Anveihu. Until one accepts Ol Malchus Shomayim s/he is a slave to his Yetzer HaRa. That is still slavery. The Midrash Socher Tov notes that during Makas Bechoros Pharaoh went to Moshe and wanted to free the Jews right there in the middle of the night. However, Moshe told him that Hashem was going to effect Yetzias Mitzrayim in the middle of the day. Pharaoh feared that he might die so Moshe taught him the language of Shichrur Avadim – which included the language of Harei Atem Avdei Hashem. Rav Rottman explained that in order to be free, one needs to be able to be an Eved Hashem or else he is merely enslaved to the Yetzer HaRa. (Maybe this is why we take out all of our finery at the Seder. It reminds us that the worldly riches only serve to make us wealthy when we are not using them for Taava but rather to use them in the service of Hashem.) Rav Meir Zlotowitz2 would instruct his family before Yom Tov not to merely rush through the – שהחיינו Beracha.
