(Bamidbar 11:4) Today we live in a “health-conscious” society. 70 years ago, people would still smoke, drink, and eat what they enjoyed – they had what we would call “The Good Life.” [...]

I See The Light

… “By your life! Your service is greater than theirs, for you will kindle and set in order the lamps” (cf. Midrash Tanchuma, Beha'alotcha 5; see also Nachmanides). (Rashi to Bamidbar 8:2) We stand at this time thinking about the many things that have happened during the past months. Tragedy after tragedy brought us to [...]

גיליתי את האמת

"אָמַר לוֹ הַקָּבָּ"ה חַיֶּיךָ שֶׁלְּךָ גְדוֹלָה מִשֶּׁלָּהֶם, שֶׁאַתָּה מַדְלִיק וּמֵטִיב אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת" (רש"י במדבר ח:ב – מדרש תנחומא במדבר ה') (עיין עוד ברמב"ן) בשלב זה אנו חושבים על האירועים הרבים שהתרחשו במהלך החודשים האחרונים. אסון אחר אסון הביאו אותנו להכרה שיש מידת הדין על כלל ישראל. אני רוצה להאמין שהפסקת האש הנוכחית מ"מלחמת עזה" נותנת [...]

You Don’t Say!

“Aharon said to Moshe: I beg you, Hashem, do not cast a sin upon us, for we have been foolish and we have sinned.” (Bamidbar 12:11) Aharon and Miriam were involved in speaking lashon hara about Moshe Rabbeinu, yet when they were punished, Miriam got Tzaraas and Aharon seemed to only get reprimanded. Aharon becomes [...]

מה אתה אומר!

"וַיֹּאמֶר אַהֲרֹן אֶל-מֹשֶׁה בִּי אֲדֹנִי אַל-נָא תָשֵׁת עָלֵינוּ חַטָּאת אֲשֶׁר נוֹאַלְנוּ וַאֲשֶׁר חָטָאנוּ" (במדבר יב:יא) אהרון ומרים דיברו שניהם לשון הרע על משה רבנו, ובכל זאת כאשר נענשו, מרים נענשה עם צרעת אבל כנראה שאהרון רק ננזף. אהרון הופך לסנגור שלה, ומתחנן בפני משה שינסה להקל על גזר דינה. הנצי"ב מספר לנו שלשיחת אהרן ומרים [...]

What’s in a Name?

“And Moshe cried to Hashem, saying: 'Please G-d, heal her now.’” (Bamidbar 12:13) Rashi tells us, based on the gemora in Brochos 34a, that whoever asks for mercy for his sick friend does not need to mention the name of his friend.

פנימיות של שמות

"וַיִּצְעַק מֹשֶׁה, אֶל-ה' לֵאמֹר: קֵל נָא רְפָא נָא לָהּ" (במדבר יב:יג) רש"י אומר לנו, על פי הגמרא ברכות לד:א, שמי שמבקש רחמים על חולה לא צריך להזכיר את שמו. המגן אברהם (אורח חיים קיט) אומר לנו שיש הבדל אם הוא נמצא בנוכחות של החולה או לא: בנוכחות החולה, אין צורך להזכיר את שמו, אבל כאשר אינו [...]
