In the future, Moshe will sing praises to Hashem. asks, why did the Torah choose to hint to techiyas hameisim (מעיינו של תורה) Rebbe Yechezkel of Kozmir, zt'l specifically in the shirah that Bnei Yisrael sang to Hashem by kriyas Yam Suf? He answers that at this time the Yidden didn’t need to believe in Hashem, because they knew Hashem. They went beyond that level of emunah and reached the level of daas, until they could point with their But a Yid must always have emunah. There can’t be a moment that one doesn’t have .זה א-לי finger and say emunah at all, and he relies solely on his daas.

The" ,וירא ישראל את היד הגדולה אשר עשה ה׳ במצרים ,(Rebbe Yechezkel of Kozmir explains that therefore it states (14:31 ,וירא Jewish nation saw Hashem's mighty hand, what He did in Mitzrayim…" They reached the level of which hints to emunah in ,אז ישיר משה seeing, knowing; they didn’t need to believe.

And when Klal As it states .pieces ,פירורים .Yisrael have emunah, they will have parnassah As it states in this week’s parashah, after kriyas Yam Suf and after the lofty levels of The Tosfos Yom Tov writes, "What was ?the purpose of the seabed looking like tiles הנני ,(emunah that the nation attained (16:4 Behold, I will make it I think it was for beauty, to honor Bnei“ ,ממטיר לכם לחם מן השמים rain bread from heaven," because emunah is Yisrael.

    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) VA’ES CHA NAN _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Deciphered Messages The Torah tells us ( Shemos 19:19) that when the Jewish people gathered at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah , “Moshe spoke and Hashem answered him with a voice.” The Gemora (Berochos 45a) der ives from this pasuk the principle that that an interpreter should not speak more loudly than the reader whose words he is translating. Tosafos immediately ask the obvious question: from that pasuk we see actually see the opposite: that the reader should n ot speak more loudly than the interpreter. We know, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, that Moshe’s nevua (prophecy) was different from that of the other nevi’im (prophets) in that “the Shechina was speaking through Moshe’s throat”. This means that the interpretation of the nevuos of the other nevi’im is not dependent on the comprehension of the people who hear it. The nevua arrives in this world in the mind of the novi and passes through the filter of his perspectives. The resulting message is the essence of the nevua. When Moshe prophesied, however, it was as if the Shechina spoke from his throat directly to all the people on their particular level of understanding. Consequently, his nevuos were directly accessible to all people. In this sense then, Moshe was the rea der of the nevua , and Hashem was the interpreter.

    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) MATTOS ~ MASSEI _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah – Mattos Keep Your Word The Torah states (30:3), “If a man takes a vow or swears an oath to G -d to establish a prohibition upon himself, he shall not violate his word; he shall fulfill whatever comes out of his mouth.” In relation to this passuk , the Midrash quotes from Tehillim (144:4), “Our days are like a fleeting shadow.” What is the connection? This can be explained, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, according to a Gemara ( Nedarim 10b), which states, “It is forbidden to say, ‘ Lashem korban , for G-d − an offering.’ Instead a person must say, ‘ Korban Lashem , an offering for G -d.’ Why? Because he may die before he says the word korban , and then he will have said the holy Name in vain.” In this light, we can understand the Midrash. The Torah states that a person makes “a vow to G-d.” This i s the exact language that must be used, mentioning the vow first. Why? Because “our days are like a fleeting shadow,” and there is always the possibility that he may die before he finishes his vow and he will have uttered the Name in vain. n Story The wood chopper had come to Ryczywohl from the nearby village in which he lived, hoping to find some kind of employment.

Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) SH EVI’I SHEL PESACH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Shevi’i Shel Pesach – Kerias Yam Suf Walking on Dry Land Even in the Sea “And Bnei Yisrael walked on dry land in the sea” (Shemos 14:29) How can you walk on dry land in the sea? The Noam Elimelech , in Likkutei Shoshana , explains this contradictory-sounding pasuk as follows: When Bnei Yisrael experienced the Exodus and the splitting of the sea, they witnessed tremendous miracles and unbelievable wonders. There are Tzaddikim among us whose h earts are always attuned to Hashem ’s wonders and miracles even on a daily basis; they see not common, ordinary occurrences – they see miracles and wonders. As opposed to Bnei Yisrael, who witnessed the miraculous only when they walked on dry land in the sp lit sea, these Tzaddikim see a miracle as great as the “splitting of the sea” even when walking on so -called ordinary, everyday dry land! Everything they experience and witness in the world is a miracle to them. This is the meaning of our pasuk : there are some among Bnei Yisrael who, even while walking on dry land, experience Hashem ’s greatness and awesome miracles just like in the sea! This is what we mean when we say that Hashem transformed the sea into dry land. Hashem causes the Tzaddik to witness and e xperience miracles as wondrous as the splitting of the sea, even on dry land, because the Tzaddik constantly walks attuned to Hashem ’s greatness and exaltedness.

  • The Mitsve Tants Injerusalemite Weddings
    Catalog TOC <<Page>> A HASSIDIC RITUAL DANCE: THE MITSVE TANTS INJERUSALEMITE WEDDINGS Yaakov Mazor and Moshe Taube INTRODUCTION The aim of the present paper is to describe the ritual dance {"mitsve tants" or "kosher tants" in Yiddish) performed, as a norm, by several male guests (mostly relatives) and the bridegroom with the bride, as the final public event of the wedding in most Hassidic communities.1 In our description we present 1 Both terms are used indiscriminately by Hassidim nowadays. There is a disagreement among scholars as to the history and significance of these terms. Some scholars do not distinguish between them (Rivkind 1962:29; Geshuri 1955: Introduction P­89), while others think they refer to two different dances. Thus, Rekhtman (1962:251) distinguishes between mitsve tants (literally "dance of the religious command"), '.e. the dance of relatives and parents with the bride, and kosher tants, which is limited to the dance of the young couple. This second term implies, according to Rekhtman, that the bride is kosher (i.e. "pure", not in her menstrual period). Rivkind (1962:46) too, quotes female informants corroborating such interpretation. Recently (1985), tw0 female Hassidic informantsused the term treyfene khasene ("impure" wedding) for cases in which the bride was "impure" and the mitsve tants was not performed. Harkavy (1928:266,312) defines mitsve tants as "dance with the bride and the bridegroom" and kosher tants as "bride's dance". Stutschewsky (1959:164, 167, 176, 215) even distinguishes between three different terms. There is, however, general agreement that mitsve tants is the primary term, dating (in its Hebrew form "mehol mizwah" at least from the fourteenth century (Rivkind 1955:29).

    Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedi ona 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 19 Hasidic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sephardic pronunciation: [ħasiˈdut]; Ashkenazic , תודיסח :Hasidic Judaism (from the Hebrew pronunciation: [χaˈsidus]), meaning "piety" (or "loving-kindness"), is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of the faith. It was founded in 18th-century Eastern Europe by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov as a reaction against overly legalistic Judaism. His example began the characteristic veneration of leadership in Hasidism as embodiments and intercessors of Divinity for the followers. [1] Contrary to this, Hasidic teachings cherished the sincerity and concealed holiness of the unlettered common folk, and their equality with the scholarly elite. The emphasis on the Immanent Divine presence in everything gave new value to prayer and deeds of kindness, alongside rabbinical supremacy of study, and replaced historical mystical (kabbalistic) and ethical (musar) asceticism and admonishment with Simcha, encouragement, and daily fervor.[2] Hasidism comprises part of contemporary Haredi Judaism, alongside the previous Talmudic Lithuanian-Yeshiva approach and the Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions. Its charismatic mysticism has inspired non-Orthodox Neo-Hasidic thinkers and influenced wider modern Jewish denominations, while its scholarly thought has interested contemporary academic study. Each Hasidic Jews praying in the Hasidic dynasty follows its own principles; thus, Hasidic Judaism is not one movement but a synagogue on Yom Kippur, by collection of separate groups with some commonality. There are approximately 30 larger Hasidic Maurycy Gottlieb groups, and several hundred smaller groups. Though there is no one version of Hasidism, individual Hasidic groups often share with each other underlying philosophy, worship practices, dress (borrowed from local cultures), and songs (borrowed from local cultures).
