The Blessing of Connecting

By |2018-03-25T22:15:02+03:00August 6th, 2015|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

וַאֲהֵבְךָ, וּבֵרַכְךָ וְהִרְבֶּךָ; וּבֵרַךְ... (דְּבָרִים ז: יג) and He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; He will also ... The Baal Haturim explains that these words are referring to zechus Avos. The Ramban explains that we should generate love by doing mitzvos with love (in order to receive a blessing with love). It seems that [...]

More Than Fair

By |2018-03-25T22:15:05+03:00July 31st, 2015|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: |0 Comments

There is an expression in English “Finders keepers, losers weepers.” The point of this saying is that Civil Law defines what is right and what is wrong. There seems to be no reason to justify giving something back when you don’t have to. Yet in this week’s parsha, the Torah tells us: וְעָשִׂיתָ הַיָּשָׁר וְהַטּוֹב (דברים [...]

מעבר להוגן

By |2015-07-31T09:18:56+03:00July 31st, 2015|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: |0 Comments

ישנו ביטוי באנגלית “Finders keepers, losers weepers.” או בקיצור, "מצאת, הרווחת". המסר של משפט עממי זה הינו שלכאורה אין שום סיבה לוותר על משהו ש"מגיע לך" מפאת היותך מוחזק בו. אבל וויתור זה הינו בדיוק מה שמתואר בפרשתינו: וְעָשִׂיתָ הַיָּשָׁר וְהַטּוֹב (דברים ו:יח) רב שמשון רפאל הירש מסביר שבפסוק זה הקב"ה דורש מאיתנו להתנהג ברמה אחת [...]

Enjoying the Big Picture

ה‘ דִּבֶּר אֵלֵינוּ, בְּחֹרֵב לֵאמֹר: רַב-לָכֶם שֶׁבֶת בָּהָר הַזֶּה. (דברים א:ו) You have dwelt long enough on this mountain. The Targum Yonasan Ben Uziel explains this pasuk by telling us of all the great things which we received at Har Sinai. In describing the gifts that were given to Klal Yisrael at that time, he [...]

אין לאן לברוח

ה‘ דִּבֶּר אֵלֵינוּ, בְּחֹרֵב לֵאמֹר: רַב-לָכֶם שֶׁבֶת בָּהָר הַזֶּה. (דברים א:ו) התרגום יונתן מפרש את הפסוק הנ"ל כרשימת הישגים ומתנות שקבלנו בהר סיני. ביחס לדברים שקבלנו, התרגום כותב ”וְאִתְהַנִי לְכוֹן עַד הָאִידְנָא“ כלומר, דברים שהנאתם נתונה לנו, כגון: המשכן, התורה, וכו'. תיאור זה של התרגום, על פניו, אינו עולה בקנה אחד עם ההבנה הקלאסית שרש"י מלמד אותנו על זמן מתן תורה. אנחנו ברחנו [...]

Empowered With Words

By |2018-03-25T22:15:12+03:00July 17th, 2015|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , , , |0 Comments

The Medrash tells us in regards to the words in the parsha: לֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ (במדבר ל:ג) (he should not profane his word). This obligation applies to Jews and not to Gentiles. In fact, much of the laws of vows are oriented towards Jews and not towards Gentiles. Why should it be that this ability [...]
