True to the Core

The Torah tell us (7:3) that Hashem hardened Pharaoh’s heart. There is a famous question on this: We know that Hashem gives a person choice. And so if He hardened Pharaoh’s heart, it seems as if He is taking away his choice. It also seems unfair! The Shla Hakodesh tells us if Pharaoh would have [...]

אמונה (שלמה?)

"וַאֲנִי אַקְשֶׁה אֶת-לֵב פַּרְעֹה" (שמות ז:ג) ידועה השאלה- הרי ה' מעניק בחירה חופשית לבני אדם, כדי שיקבלו את שכרם או, חלילה, את עונשם. לפיכך, כאשר הקב"ה הקשה את לב פרעה, הרי הוא נטל ממנו את בחירתו החופשית. מדוע, אם כן, הוא מענישו על דברים שנעשו, לכאורה, מתוך כפיה? השל"ה הקדוש מסביר שאם פרעה היה נאלץ [...]

As If He Is Praying

By |2018-03-25T22:10:12+03:00January 19th, 2017|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

2:23 and they cried, and their cry came up to God as an outcome of the bondage. 14:10 and the children of Israel cried out unto Hashem. In this week’s parsha, the Torah says that klal Yisrael cried out, but does not state that they cried out to Hashem. It just says that Hashem received their plea. Whereas at [...]

כזה, להתפלל, כאילו…

וַיִּזְעָקוּ; וַתַּעַל שַׁוְעָתָם אֶל-הָאֱלֹקים, מִן-הָעֲבֹדָה. (שמות ב:כג) וַיִּצְעֲקוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-ה׳. (שמות י"ד:י) נשים לב להבדל בין הפסוקים.  בפסוק הראשון, (המוזכר בפרשתנו) התורה מציינת כי בני ישראל זעקו , ותפילתם אכן התקבלה, אך אינה מציינת את העובדה שזעקתם כוונה אל ה'. לעומת זאת, בפסוק השני (המוזכר בפרשת בשלח) כאשר התורה מתארת את עמידת בנ"י מול ים [...]

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?

By |2017-01-12T18:47:57+02:00January 12th, 2017|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

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 [...]
