Whole Heartedly

“…with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Devarim 11:13) We understand that these words which we say twice a day tell us that one’s service and devotion to Hashem must be full and all-encompassing. Rav Elyakim Schlesinger (b. 1921) from London related the following story about the Kotzker Rebbe (1787–1859) which he heard from [...]

מכל הלב

"...בְּכׇל־לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכׇל־נַפְשְׁכֶם." (דברים יא:יג) אנו מבינים שהפסוק הזה, שאנו אומרים פעמיים ביום, אומר לנו שהשירות והמסירות שלנו לה' חייבות להיות מלאות ומקיפות. הרב אליקים שלזינגר מלונדון סיפר את הסיפור הבא על הרבי מקוצק ששמע מהרב מבריסק: זה היה ראש השנה, וכמנהגו של הרבי מקוצק, הוא לא התפלל בבית המדרש, אלא בחדרו הפרטי ליד בית המדרש.

A Vacation to Remember

“…and you delve into them…” (Devarim 6:7) Rashi tells us that most of one’s speech should be in Torah and all else should be secondary. “Idle chatter” is known to us as “bitul Torah” and we are very familiar with its negative aspects. There is a question about Tisha B’Av (which just passed) that is [...]

חופשה לזכור

By |2025-08-06T21:49:04+03:00July 24th, 2023|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , , |0 Comments

"... וְדִבַּרְתָּ֖ בָּ֑ם..." (דברים ו:ז) רש"י אומר לנו "(ספרי) שלא יהא עיקר דבורך אלא בם עשם עיקר ואל תעשם טפל"(שם). "פטפוט סרק" מוכר לנו כביטול תורה ואנו מכירים היטב את הצד השלילי שלו. ישנה שאלה לגבי תשעה באב (שזה עתה חלף) בה דנים הפוסקים. בתשעה באב אסור ללמוד תורה, כי לימוד תורה מביא שמחה רוחנית. [...]

Set Apart

“How can I bear this nation by myself?” (Devarim 1:12) Chazal tell us that it is not by coincidence that the word "Eicha" is used here in this verse. It seems to me that every time the word “Eicha” is used, it is discussing Klal Yisrael’s feelings about their place in the world. Let us [...]
