MYSTERY of the MISSING YEARS Ew Hardships Are As Tough to Handle As a Breadwinner's Unemployment MYSTERY OF THE MISSING YEARS ew hardships are as tough to handle as a breadwinner's unemployment. But few hardships are as quickly resolved. FAll it takes is one job to turn a family's worry and strain into peace and security. With unemployment at a rate unprecedented in recent times, many frum families are suffering.

Accordingly, they are no different than other dissident movements throughout our history that have rejected these basic tenets. We therefore inform the public that in our considered opinion, “Open Orthodoxy” is not a form of Torah Judaism (Orthodoxy), and that any rabbinic ordination (which they call “semicha”) granted by any of its affiliated entities to their graduates does not confer upon them any rabbinic authority. May the Almighty have mercy on the remnants of His people and repair all breaches in the walls of the Torah, and may we be worthy to witness the raising of the glory of Hashem and His sacred Torah.

  • Chassidus on the Eh're Chassidus on the Parsha +
    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) RE ’EH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah The Merit of Charity Compound forms of verbs usually indicate thoroughness. Yet when the Torah tells us (14:22), “You shall fully tithe ( aser te’aser ) all the produce of your field,” our Sages derive another concept. “ Aser bishvil shetis’asher ,” they say. “Tithe in order that you shall become wealthy.” Why is this so? When the charity a person gives, explains Rav Levi Yitzchak, comes up to Heaven, its provenance is scrutinized. Why was this particular amount giv en to charity? Then the relationship to the full amount of the harvest is discovered. There is a ration of ten to one, and the amount given is one tenth of the total. In this way the entire harvest participates in the mitzvah but only in a secondary role. Therefore, if the charity was given with a full heart, the person giving the charity merits that the quality of his donation is elevated. The following year, the entire harvest is elevated from a secondary role to a primary role in the giving of the charit y. The amount of the previous year’s harvest then becomes only one tenth of the new harvest, and the giver becomes wealthy. n Story Unfortunately, there were all too many poor people who circulated among the towns and 1 Re ’eh / [email protected] villages begging for assistance in staving off starvation.

The White hospital, since the hospital stores a lot of Plains Orthodox community does maintain equipment in each of the patients’ rooms. an eruv chatzeirot for its community eruv.

  • Rabbi Avraham Friedman Rosh Hayeshiva
    HEBREW THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE 7135 North Carpenter Road Skokie, Illinois 60077 כ"ז כסלו, תשע"ח December 12, 2017 Rabbi Avraham Friedman Rosh HaYeshiva I would like to say a few words about my dear friend Harav Hagaon Rav Yitzchak Aryeh Hirshfeld at this time when he is being honored for his 40 valiant years of harbatzos Torah as the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Darkei Noam. Rabbi Hirshfeld is now going to be known as the rosh yeshiva emeritus of this great Makom Torah, a title he so well deserves. I know Reb Yitzchak Aryeh for more than 50 years, we both attended the Skokie yeshiva high school and Beis Medrash together and later Yeshivas Mir. I had the great Zechus to learn with him many years B'chavrusa and I can honestly say that he was one of the best chavrusos I ever had and he taught me very much. He is not only extremely intelligent, with such a clear understanding of what he is learning but he also is able to explain the material so clearly. He is also so patient and so extremely modest, always willing to hear what the other person has to say. I certainly understand why he has been so successful as a rebbe to literally hundreds of Talmidim. I know that his Talmidim love, adore and respect him for his great knowledge and Middos Tovos. Rebbe Meir says that a name given to someone has a relationship to the nature of the person, in some sefarim it says that the parents are granted Ruach Hakodesh when they give a name.
