Observance of Shabbos even once suffices to bring Moshiach immediately. SHABBOS We may well ask, why does Shabbos, of all the mitzvos in the Torah, have such a special Translated and adapted by Dovid Yisroel Ber Kaufmann relationship with Moshiach? Why doesn’t observing any of the other commandments, such as keeping kosher or eating matzo or giving Shabbos is a foretaste of Moshiach. tz’deka, also result in an immediate While all the patriarchs kept Shabbos Redemption? True, every mitzva contributes to the coming of before the mitzva was given at Sinai, Moshiach, as the children’s song says, “with every mitzva we do, we Yosef’s observance was unique. His add a brick to the Third Temple.” Equally true, as Maimonides says, preparations invested Shabbos into the that our next thought, word or deed may be the act that tips the world. Similarly, we must prepare the scale to the side of merit and world for “the day that is all Shabbos,” ushers in the Redemption. Nevertheless, the only act the time of Redemption. guaranteed to bring Moshiach immediately and instantaneously is Shabbos is compared to the World to Come. Many a universal observance of Shabbos. prayers acknowledge that observance of Shabbos A Midrash – a rabbinic insight – on one of the gives us a foretaste of the era of Redemption. For verses of this week’s Torah reading, Mikeitz, alludes instance, in the Birkas HaMazon – the blessing after a to the unique nature of Shabbos. (As an aside, it may meal – the following sentence is added on Shabbos: be mentioned that even the name of the portion hints “May the Merciful One let us inherit that day which at the Redemption, for the word “mikeitz” means “at will be all Shabbos and rest for life everlasting.” The the end.” When a Jew hears the words “at the end,” Mincha, or afternoon prayer, of Shabbos describes he automatically things of the “end” of exile and the Shabbos in words used about the days of Moshiach: beginning of Redemption.) “a day of rest and holiness You have given your people In this week’s portion, Yosef, in anticipation of a . a rest of love and generosity, a rest of truth and meal with his brothers, tells his chief servant to faithfulness, a rest of peace, serenity and security, a slaughter an animal for the feast and to “prepare” it. perfect rest with which You find favor.” Finally, The particular word used for “prepare,” the Midrash perhaps the most famous Shabbos prayer, Lecha notes, is associated with Shabbos observance. One Dodi, sung Friday nights to welcome in the Shabbos, who “prepares” is preparing – during the six days of is a poem about the coming of Moshiach and the the week – for Shabbos. Use of specifically this word Redemption, containing verses such as, “To the right tells us, according to the Midrash, that Yosef observed and to the left you shall spread out, and the Lord you the Shabbos before it was given. shall extol. And we shall rejoice and exult through the Obviously this doesn’t mean that Yosef didn’t keep man who is a descendent of Peretz,” that is Moshiach. any of the other commandments, or that his brothers Indeed, so closely bound are Shabbos and didn’t even keep Shabbos. Commentaries agree that Moshiach that our sages declare, “If Israel were to all twelve sons of Jacob kept the mitzvos of the Torah, observe properly the Shabbos twice, they would in accordance with G-d’s statement about Avrohom immediately be redeemed.” Other sources say this that “I have known him, in order he should command 4 29 Kislev 5769 BEIS MOSHIACH 676:Beis Moshiach 22/12/2008 8:58 AM Page 5 his children and his household after him.” Rather, Although Yosef’s brothers, like Avrohom, Yitzchok since the specific allusion is only to Yosef’s and Yaakov, kept the mitzvos before the Torah was observance of Shabbos, it means there is something given, they couldn’t take the principle of Shabbos – distinctive about Yosef and about his Shabbos total awareness of G-dliness – and invest it into the observance. physical world. They could only act symbolically, But if the Midrash wants to tell us that Yosef’s because Shabbos, like the rest of Torah, had not yet Shabbos observance was unique, why does it do so been given. obliquely, deriving the insight from the use of the Yosef, on the other hand, did implant Shabbos into word “prepare”? Also, why does the Midrash the world, which is why his observance of – his emphasize that Yosef kept the Shabbos before it was preparation for – Shabbos is alluded to in the Torah. given? Such a conclusion seems obvious, since Yosef Yosef’s brothers were shepherds, leading a life of lived three generations before Moses. contemplation, isolated from the world. They were In order for something to be given, it must already aloof from and had no influence on the mundane. exist. “Giving” means taking something from one Yosef, on the other hand, lived in Egypt, the most place to another, transferring ownership or dissolute and materialistic of nations. Nor was Yosef possession from one person to the an ordinary citizen; he was the next. In our context, this means viceroy, second to the king, and as that already at the time of Yosef, a result deeply involved in all the Shabbos existed. It had just not yet Since, “G-d was affairs of state, with little time to been given to the Jewish people. devote to his personal spiritual Therefore, the Midrash with Yosef,” he growth. Nevertheless, since, as the emphasizes not only Yosef and was able to Torah states, “G-d was with Shabbos, but also that Yosef kept Yosef,” he was able to observe the Shabbos before it was given. observe Shabbos Shabbos as G-d wanted, even At the time of creation, before Sinai, in a manner of Shabbos was designated as a as G-d wanted, complete tranquility, spiritual as unique and holy day, as it says, well as physical. “G-d blessed the seventh day and even before Sinai, We can now explain why sanctified it, because on it He Yosef’s Shabbos observance is rested from all His work.” At the in a manner of alluded to with the word time of the Exodus, G-d gave complete “prepare.” Shabbos itself, on Shabbos to the Jews, commanding which an individual ceases all them to “remember and observe” tranquility, creative labor, changes the person. all its commandments. The rest transforms him, physically Shabbos, then, is different than spiritual as well as and spiritually. The actions we all the other mitzvos. The other take during the week to prepare for mitzvos came into existence at physical. Shabbos, on the other hand, affect Sinai, at the giving of the Torah. the world.

  • פרק כז Help Us Print Lessons in Heichaltzu in Honor of Chof Cheshvan!
    פרק כז Help us print Lessons in Heichaltzu in honor of Chof Cheshvan! Heichaltzu, a discourse delivered by the Rebbe Rashab, creates a paradigm shift in human relationships. Through understanding mystical and Chassidic teachings, Heichaltzu gets to the crux of finding unity in diversity. Lessons in Heichaltzu is the magnum opus on human relations. With your partnership, we can bring the eternal and ever prevalent Lessons in Heichaltzu to readership worldwide. Your contribution can help others find harmony within dissension. Please join us in printing this sefer in honor of Chof Cheshvan! https://www.sie.org/20cheshvan 3 PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD As mentioned several times in these forewords, we initiated the republication of Heichaltzu to service as a spiritual shield and a source of blessing in the face of Covid-19. Little did we realize how important the theme of achdus, “unity,” would become in the ensuing months. Certainly, the present situation is one which calls for intensification of our efforts to join together with our fellowmen, realizing that unity does not involve the obliteration of differences, but rather the synergistic union of diverse and even opposing energies. In this chapter and those to follow, the Rebbe Rashab elaborates regarding the loftiest expression of this motif, explaining how it operates with regard to the reve- lation of G-d’s infinite light and the tzimtzum. Although the two represent entirely opposite spiritual thrusts, they function in unison to bring about the existence of our world and all the spiritual worlds above it. In this exposition, the Rebbe Rashab explains many of the loftiest concepts in Chabad Chassidus, touching on the unique dynamics of realms existing in an entirely different stage of being than in our material world.

  • Victorian Government Inquiry Into Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and Other Non- Government Organisations Submission
    Victorian Government Inquiry into Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and Other Non- Government Organisations Submission This joint submission is made on behalf of members of the Victorian Jewish community who are victims of child sexual abuse perpetrated within the Melbourne Jewish community, including but not limited to within the ultra-Orthodox Yeshivah Centre, located in Hotham Street, East St Kilda. 1.0 Background 1.1. The majority of those making this submission are victims of child sexual abuse by various perpetrators associated with or operating within the grounds of the Yeshivah Centre between 1983-1994. Some of the incidents are currently the subject of Court proceedings. Others are victims of child sexual abuse perpetrated within other sections of the Jewish community. 1.2. We commend the Victorian Government on establishing this important Inquiry. We are of the view that this Inquiry is a step in the right direction towards addressing the issue of child sexual abuse within religious organisations of whatever denomination. 1.3. By way of background, the Yeshivah Centre is the roof body of a number of religious organisations responsible for the education and mentoring of Jewish children, including: i. Yeshivah College – a kindergarten to VCE single sex boy's school; ii. Beth Rivkah – a kindergarten to VCE single sex girl's school; iii.
