Parshas Vayishlach – the Power of Ma'aser (Tithing Breslov’s View On Doctors & Medicine written by Meir Elkabas | December 10, 2018 Reb Meir Elkabas gives an overview of Rebbe Nachman’s view on medicine and doctors–and it may not be what you think! If you like this video please share it with your friends. The more people who SHARE, LIKE, and COMMENT, the more videos we make. To Believe in Oneself written by breslov.org | December 10, 2018 Reb Noson would often teach that each person must believe in oneself, no matter what lowly spiritual level they find themselves. God wants him and yearns for his prayers and praise; because this is God’s ultimate truth! King David declared, “I will also thank you for your truth with a stringed instrument, my God…” (Psalm 71:22) [Reb Noson would paraphrase,] “Master of the Universe, such is your truth that even I will also praise You! Even in my insignificant and lowly stature, still You want me to praise You – for such is Your truth! (Quoted from Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Bender) The Hebrew words kli nevel mentioned in the verse above, which usually means a stringed instrument, can also be translated as a withered and ugly vessel. This means that even with my perceived impure and unholy spiritual vessels, it is Your will and truth that I still endlessly thank you. ~ Otzer Nachmani, Volume I, 51, (Page 62) It is Time to Vanquish the Darkness written by Dovid Mark | December 10, 2018 The darkness surrounds us, weakening our ability to see the light that permeates our world. This darkness is part of the fabric of our exile, intertwined within our broken world. In the beginning of creation, the Torah tells us that the “Earth was in a state of chaos and unformed, with darkness on the face of the abyss.” It is this very darkness, which became analogous with the Greeks that has taken hold within the endless abyss that is synonymous with Rome, which has grown to control the world as we know it. While the Greeks were defeated, it is Rome, which uses the darkness to its fullest. The world is so dark it has become nearly impossible to see the truth hidden within – to see the light of the Creator. So how do we get out of the darkness? How do we connect to the inner light that is held within? The Hashmonaim gave us a secret weapon to fight the darkness – the Hanukiah is placed very low to the ground, far lower than any other mitzvah…why? Because no matter how far down the abyss has dragged us, there is still light there. There is still light within us. The darkness may have covered everything within the endless pit of despair and disconnection, but this light, cultivated and nurtured by the Tzaddikim is waiting to be lit by each of us. That is our mission now. We must take hopelessness and uncertainty we all find ourselves in and cling to the light of Chanukah. This is the light of the Tzaddikim, drawn from the highest places and brought down to vanquish the darkness that entraps us and the world.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 .

  • VAYISHLACH (And He Sent)
    VAYISHLACH (And He Sent) GENESIS (B‟RESHIYT 32:3 – 36:43) INTRODUCTION: 1. Jacob‟s flight from Esau now comes full circle. a. He had left to flee Esau‟s anger and vengeful plan to kill him. b. As Jacob approached Canaan, Esau approached him with a 400 man army. c. However, Isaac was still alive at this time. “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, „The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.” – Genesis 27:41 2. It seems inevitable that Jacob was going to have to confront Esau in order to enter land. a. Prophetically: Israel under Moses/Joshua had to confront Esau as well as giants. b. To possess the Land (fulfill purpose) requires confronting the obstacles. 3. Also see how and when Jacob became Israel. a. From “hand on heel” to “prince of God.” 4. Some rabbinic writers consider this even to have been a prophetic vision. a. Many see it as symbolic – each person has to struggle with God to become whole. b. In face of crisis, Jacob was left alone with God. 5. Yet, in the haftarah it says: “In the womb he took his brother by the heel [literally occurred], and in his manhood he strove with God. He strove with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel [literally occurred], and there God spoke with us.” – Hosea 12:3-4 6. Jacob had struggled with men and overcome through persistency, morality and wit.

  • The Opening Section of Parashat Vayetze Tells of Yaakov's Famous
    The opening section of Parashat Vayetze tells of Yaakov's famous prophecy that he beheld as he slept in Bet-El, along his flight to Charan to escape from his brother's rage. In this prophecy God promises that the Land of Canaan would be given to him and his offspring, and He also declares the famous promise, "Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth" (28:14). Maimonides cites this verse in his Epistle to Yemen (chapter 1), and he explains the metaphor as referring not to the innumerability of Yaakov's descendants, but rather to their eternal existence. In this verse, God foresees the time when Yaakov's descendants will be treaded and trampled upon like the earth, subjected to ruthless oppression, persecution and tyranny. But just as the earth survives the incessant trampling of man, and in fact sees the day when the men who treaded upon it are interred for eternity beneath its surface, so will Am Yisrael somehow endure the centuries of degradation and suffering. We have been promised that, like the earth beneath our feet, the years of "treading" will not destroy us, and we will survive even as our oppressors are "buried" beneath us. Maimonides wrote these remarks in an effort to lift the emotional and religious spirits of the Yemenite Jews who came under harsh persecution and relentless challenges to their faith. He insisted that contrary to what the enemy nations charged, the Jews' feeble condition at that time in no way disproved the theological truth of their beliefs or foretold their imminent demise.

  • Vayishlach Beresheet (Genesis) 32:4 – 36:43
    Vayishlach Beresheet (Genesis) 32:4 – 36:43 Jacob spends 20 years in Haran, and on his journey back to Canaan prepares to meet Esau. Before he meets him, he sends gifts ahead hoping to avoid a confrontation. He divides his family into two camps, sending them to safety. A “man” comes to Jacob that night and wrestles with him until dawn. He wrenches Jacob’s thigh, but Jacob will not release him. Jacob demands a blessing from the “man,” who gives Jacob a new name … Yisrael, “for he had striven with divine beings and prevailed.” Jacob then meets Esau and they are reconciled. Esau wants Jacob and his household to travel on to Seir with him, but Jacob says that because of the frailty of the children and flocks, he will lag behind. Jacob settles in Shechem, a city in Canaan. One day Dinah, his daughter, goes out to the fields and is assaulted by Shechem, a Canaanite, who ultimately wishes to marry her. Her brothers convince the male inhabitants of Shechem to be circumcised so that marriages may take place between Jacob’s household and the Canaanites. On the third day after the circumcisions, while the Canaanites are still in pain, Jacob’s sons rise up in retaliation. Jacob expresses anger, reminding his sons that they are few in number and may easily be destroyed by the rest of the inhabitants of the land. The brothers respond by saying that they were defending the honor of their sister. G-d tells Jacob to go to Bethel and build an altar.
