...וַיָּשֶׂם ה׳ לְקַיִן אוֹת... (בְּרֵאשִׁית ד:טו) And G-d placed an “os” on Cain. (Bereishis 4:15) The Medrash Tanchuma gives various possibilities for the meaning of the word “os” (emblem). One of them is that Hashem gave Cain the “os” of Shabbos. This is difficult to understand because Hashem had just cursed Cain that he should [...]

...וַיָּשֶׂם ה׳ לְקַיִן אוֹת... (בְּרֵאשִׁית ד:טו) חז"ל במדרש תנחומא, מעלים מספר אפשרויות לפשר ה"אות" שניתנה לקין. על פי אחת מהן, "אות" איננה אות במובן הקלאסי של המילה, אלא הכוונה היא שה' נתן לקין את השבת. פירוש זה של המדרש נשמע תמוה. הרי מטרת האות היתה לרכך את עונשו של קין – "נע ונד תהיה בארץ" ולהבטיח את בטחונו [...]

כשיש סכך, לא לשכוח

הפסוק מכנה את יום ט"ו בתשרי כ"יום הראשון" - המדרש שואל את השאלה המתבקשת - הרי איך יום זה, שבאמצע החודש, ייחשב ראשון ?! תשובה ידועה שמציע המדרש היא, שיום זה הוא ראשון לחשבון עוונות, כלומר, שאין זמן לחטוא מפני שמתרוצצים להשלים ארבעת המינים ובניית הסוכה. הט"ז מרחיב על מחשבה זו ומציע שכל זמן שאדם [...]

The pasuk calls the first day of Sukkos “byom harishon.” The medrash questions “It’s not the first day of the month—it is the fifteenth!” and proceeds to answer that it is “rishon b’avonosayhem” (the first of your sins). There are those who suggest a meaning, that people don’t have time to do any aveiros, because they [...]
