Is One Apology Enough?

By |2018-03-25T22:10:16+03:00January 12th, 2017|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

The Sefer Chasidim writes about the greatness of Yosef, that he forgave the brothers for their sin against him. Yet we find in Chazal references to golus Mitzrayim, the asura charugei malchus, and other punishments to klal Yisrael at large as a punishment for the sin of the ten brothers. How can one justify this? [...]

האם התנצלות אחת מספיקה?

ספר החסידים כותב על גדלותו של יוסף בסליחתו לאחיו על המעשים הרעים שביצעו נגדו. עם זאת, אנו מוצאים שחז"ל מייחסים את העבדות במצרים, את עשרה הרוגי מלכות, ועוד צרות אחרות שאירעו לכלל ישראל כעונש על חטא השבטים. אם אכן מעשה השבטים נמחל, מדוע בני ישראל נענשו עליו שוב ושוב? אחד מההסברים המחודשים יותר הוא זה [...]

What’s Good for Him is What’s Good for Me

“And he (Yosef) presented himself unto him (Yaakov, his father)” (Bereishis 46:29) This statement seems extra, as we are already told that Yosef went to meet his father? The Torah must be coming to tell us something extra. I would like to share an answer that I heard, by taking from a different area of [...]

מה שטוב בשבילך, טוב בשבילי

פעמים רבות אנשים עוסקים בפעולות  חסד, שגורמות להם עצמם להרגיש טוב, וכמובן גם מיטיבות עם מקבליהן. נוכל למצוא דוגמא לכך אצל עשיר שנותן צדקה לעני. העשיר יחוש, מן הסתם, בשני רגשות: 1) הוא ירגיש טוב כי הוא גרם למישהו אחר להיות מאושר   2) הוא גם ירגיש טוב כי הוא עשה מעשה מועיל. אם היית שואל [...]

Has Your Flame Been Lit?

By |2018-03-25T22:10:24+03:00December 28th, 2016|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

The minhag in Klal Yisrael is that when one completes learning a mesechta, a seder of mishnayos, or some other important piece of knowledge, we make a seudas siyum (as we will IY”H be doing during our Melaveh Malkah on February 11, 2017). The reason for this is because we have completed a mitzvah that [...]

By |2016-12-28T22:12:53+02:00December 28th, 2016|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

חמנהג הוא בכלל ישראל לערוך סעודת מצווה עם סיום לימוד מסכת, סדר משניות, או ספר חשוב אחר (כפי שבע"ה נעשה במלווה מלכה שלנו שיתקיים ב -11 בפברואר, 2017 ). מטרת הסעודה היא לציין את השלמתה של מצווה גדולה, שקיומה ערך זמן רב. גם על השלמת מצוות אחרות, נוהגים לערוך סעודת מצווה. ה"שם משמואל" מלמד אותנו [...]

The Light and Its Enlightenment

Recognize, if you please, who are this signet, this wrap, and this staff (Bereishis 38:25) Rashi: From this they (our Rabbis) said, “It is better for a person to be cast into a fiery furnace than to embarrass his fellow in public.” Reb Leib Chasman, the mashgiach of Chevron Yeshiva, asks “Why do Chazal use the word [...]
