האכילה שנותנת חיים

By |2016-03-31T21:36:44+03:00March 31st, 2016|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

כאשר התורה מנחה אותנו לגבי האסור והמותר בתחום המזון, היא קובעת ש"זאת החיה אשר תאכלו" [ויקרא י"א:ב]. רש"י מסביר את שימוש הפסוק במילה "חיה". מכיון שעם ישראל דבוק לקב"ה, שהוא מקור החיים, הוא צריך לשמור מרחק ממאכלים שפועלים פעולה הפוכה. הנחיות אלו עומדות בניגוד למצבן של אומות העולם, שלא קבלו מגבלות אלו. כדי להמחיש זאת [...]

Step one—Step Two

By |2016-03-24T20:24:05+02:00March 24th, 2016|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

Based on this, Chazal learn that “Any talmid chacham who doesn’t have necessary understanding of what to do, a dead carcass [...]

וַיִּקְרָא, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה (ויקרא א:א) מובא בילקוט שמעוני [ויקרא א:תכ"ט] שהסיבה לכתיבת ה"אלף" המוקטנת [במילה "ויקרא"] הגיעה מחמת מניעה מסויימת מצידו של משה רבינו. משה רבינו סירב להכנס למשכן עד שנקרא אליו. נימוסים אלו מקבלים גיבוי חזק מחז"ל, עד כדי ההצהרה הגורפת: "כל תלמיד חכם שאין בו דעה, נבלה טובה הימנו". כלומר, תלמיד חכם שלא מבין מעצמו [...]
