  • Parshat Vayishlach 5770
    Torat Imecha: Women’s Torah Weekly Brought to you by Naaleh.com Parshat Vayishlach: The Dual Meaning of the Ox and the Donkey Based on a Naaleh.com shiur on Chassidut by Rabbi Herschel Reichman As Yaakov nears the land of Israel, he sends angels as messengers to his brother Esav. The Shem MiShmuel finds several aspects about this incident puzzling. Why did Yaakov tell Esav, “I had an ox and a donkey in the house of Lavan?” Additionally, since he was met by the angels of Israel while the angels of Chutz L’aaretz were still with him, he selected angels from both groups to go to Esav. Why did he need both types of angels and what was the difference between them? The Shem MiShmuel explains that there are seven inhabited continents that comprise the world. The land of Israel is at the center with three continents on each side. Shabbat, similarly, is the focal point of the week. We prepare for Shabbat during the three days that precede it, and we bask in the glow of the previous Shabbat for the three days that follow. The Gemara says there are weekday angels and Shabbat angels. The Shabbat angels correspond to Eretz Yisrael, and the weekday angels relate to the other six continents. The midrash on Breishit discusses a disagreement about the day on which G-d created angels. Rabbi Yochanan maintains that they were created on the second day, while Rabbi Chanina states that they were created on the fifth day. The Shem Mishmuel suggests that both opinions are correct.

  • Jacob Benmosche Lieberman
    Shabbat Shalom. Our Torah portion for this week is Parashat Vayishlach, in which we read about the journeys of our patriarch Jacob and his family after Jacob completes his service for Laban, his father-in-law. G-d commands Jacob to return to the home from which he fled many years before just after stealing his older brother Esau’s birthright as the first-born son of Isaac and Rebecca. Jacob and his family’s return will necessitate at the very least a meeting between Jacob and Esau, if not also a confrontation, since the two brothers had not seen each other since Jacob’s deception of their father robbed Esau of many privileges including the top spot in the family. Understandably, Jacob is afraid to face Esau and his anger. Jacob sends ahead a messenger to Esau to let him know of his return and learns that Esau is coming to meet him, along with 400 men. This exacerbates Jacob’s fear. He divides his family into two camps, with the hope that one will survive should Esau and the men attack. Bravely, Jacob plans to stand in front of his camp to lead them forward, but he doesn’t want to take it on the chin unless he absolutely has to. Before the brothers will meet, Jacob arranges for several messengers to greet Esau and appease him with many generous gifts. Jacob’s planning done for the big reunion ahead, he settles down to sleep for the night. In that sleep, what dreams may come. All night and near into the dawn, Jacob wrestles with a man who may just be an angel.

  • Parshat Vayigash January 7, 2017 Rabbi Vernon Kurtz
    PARSHAT VAYIGASH JANUARY 7, 2017 RABBI VERNON KURTZ The custom to complete the weekly public readings of the Torah every year on the holiday of Simchat Torah finds its roots in Babylonia of the Talmudic Era. The Torah was divided into 54 sections or Parshiyot to allow for the completion of the yearly cycle with the reading of one Parshah every week. This week’s Torah portion, Vayigash, follows the story immediately told in last week’s Miketz. But, the Rabbis seem to be enamored with the old-time serial movies or the modern-day soap operas by leaving us last week with a cliff-hanger of a story and asking us to wait a week to complete it. Last week, towards the end of our Torah reading, the divining cup of the Viceroy of Egypt, Joseph, is found in the food sack of Benjamin. We know that it was a set-up by Joseph as he had instructed his servants to bring Benjamin back to Egypt and send the other brothers on their way to Canaan. The brothers refuse to leave the side of their young brother and are all brought back to stand before Joseph. At that point, the Torah reading last week ends and we are left on the edge of our seats to find out what happened. If this was a mystery novel many of us would not put it down until we knew what had occurred or we would look at the end of the book to find out what happened. Rabbi Zev Leff asks: “Why did the previous Parshah have to end with such a cliff- hanger? Why didn’t the Torah simply extend Parshat Miketz a few more verses and include the resolution of this story? Why do we have to wait a whole week

  • Parshah Miketz – D'var Torah by Joel M. Bernstein December 28Th 2019
    Parshah Miketz – d’var Torah by Joel M. Bernstein December 28th 2019 … for … this week’s Parshah, Miketz, a continuation of the story of Joseph and his brothers… I have reviewed the following scholarly material. UNDERSTANDING GENESIS, a thorough review by one of the most brilliant experts on this part of Torah, Nahum Sarna; TORAH TODAY, a renewed encounter with scripture by Pinchas Peli; review of multiple commentaries from faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary; Professor Robert Alter, and of course, my favorite source, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. The titles of my D’var Torah are Remaining Jewish and Appearance and Reality. Except for Chapter 38 of Genesis which is to me a most important chapter demonstrating the process of the beginning of repentance of Judah and his affair with his daughter in law Tamar, the story of Joseph and his brothers from Chapters 37 to 50 is a profound analysis of how a son of Jacob, who literally becomes Egyptian because of his God-given gift of interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh, maintains his identity as a Jew. This idea is as important today as we see assimilation of Jews into secular cultures, intermarriage where the children do not maintain their contact with Judaism, and 3000 years of maintaining Jewish existence as we celebrate the defeat of the Greek-Syrians by the Maccabees slightly over 2000 thousand years ago and today celebrate the Holiday of Chanukah. As the Book of Genesis approaches its conclusion, we realize the significance of names and naming—especially at the heart of the Joseph story.

  • Sichos Sivan-Elul 5740
    -98- The above encouragement which we draw from Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Tammuz should inspire us to do more the nearer we get to the 12th-13th of Tammuz, especially in this, the hundredth anni­ versary of the birthday of the Previous Rebbe. 2. There is a perplexing question about this week's Parshah. Why is it called Parshas Korach when Korach was the one who quar­ reled with "Moshe who is true, and his Torah which is true?" In­ stead of having his name perpetuated, shouldn't it be counted among "the names of the wicked should rot?" The Gemorah (Yoma 38b) comments on the names of the wicked saying, "their names should rot by not mentioning them." This would be especially true in this case since there is a commandment "do not be like Korach and his company." This question is compounded by the fact that most Parshiyos are named after the first word in the Parshah (e.g. Vayeira, Vayeitze, Vayishlach etc). In this Parshah, however, the proce­ dure is changed. Instead of the first word in the Parshah, Vayikach, the second word, Korach, was chosen! The puzzle becomes more complex when we consider the follow­ ing: In Parshas "Vayeitze" the second word, "Ya'akov," is not in­ eluded in the Parshah's name. Why then is this week's Parshah given the name Korach when Korach was a wicked person who rebelled against Moshe? Although the name Korach is mentioned in the Torah, Korach is no where found as the name of the Parshah given in the Mishnah, the Gemorah, or in the Bereisah.

  • Parshat Hashavua Yeshivat Har Etzion PARASHAT HASHAVUA
    Parshat HaShavua Yeshivat Har Etzion PARASHAT HASHAVUA PARASHAT VAYIGASH By Rav Yaakov Meidan These are the Names of the Children of Israel – Names and Numbers Our parasha contains the list of the seventy members of Yaakov's house who came to Egypt. The list is rife with difficulties. I) Chetzron and Chamul These two sons of Peretz son of Yehuda are mentioned among those who descended to Egypt during the years of famine. The commentaries have already raised the difficulties concerning the closeness of events in Yehuda's life, which take place during the twenty two years that elapse between the sale of Yosef and the descent of Yaakov's family to Egypt. It will be recalled that Joseph was seventeen at the time that he was sold, thirty at the time of his appointment as viceroy, and that a further seven years of plenty and two years of famine passed before the descent to Egypt. During the course of those twenty-two years, Yehuda married the daughter of Shua, and begat Er and Onan. These two sons consecutively married Tamar and then died. 'Many days passed' before Tamar was deemed able to marry Shela. In the meantime, Yehuda married Tamar and begat Peretz. Peretz himself grew up, married, and begat Chetzron and Chamul who were among those who descended to Egypt. In other words, during the course of twenty two years, three generations were born to Yehuda and came of age, not to mention the 'many days' that Tamar waited in vain for the levirate marriage to take place.

  • Parashat Vayetze 5774 by Rabbi Joshua Rabin November 9, 2013
    Parashat Vayetze 5774 By Rabbi Joshua Rabin November 9, 2013 Bill Drayton, founder and CEO of Ashoka, an organization that provides financial and organizational support to social entrepreneurs around the world, says that when Ashoka attempts to identify individuals to support, he asks his colleagues, “Do you deeply trust this person?” 1 Explaining the rationale behind this question, Drayton states, ...to cause fundamental social change, you are asking people to change how they do their work, how they relate to other people. You’re asking a lot of them. And if they don’t trust you, your probability of success is greatly reduced. The trustworthiness of the social entrepreneur—their integrity—is one of their most important assets. People sense that—and if they don’t trust you, they won’t follow you. They won’t make those leaps in their own lives that are necessary. 2 According to Drayton, making systemic social change requires a commitment to personal integrity. As a rabbi, I cannot read this quote without thinking about the tension I experience between wanting to fulfill the prophetic obligation to speak out against injustice and the reality that I am not perfect, that I possess more than few moral shortcomings. At the same time, the necessity of speaking out against injustice leads me to recognize that my commitment to social change requires a continual commitment to questioning my own moral compass and to balancing healthy doses of both hope and reality. The challenge of examining our moral choices and recognizing our successes and failures is reflected in several commentaries on the beginning of Parashat Vayetze .
