יום של שלום

"כי התשובה והשבת צריכים זה לזה כי בזה תשובתו תכון לעד. עוד רמז 'ושבת עד ה' אלקיך' (דברים ל:ב)  (נחל קדומים דברים פרשת נצבים אות ד) החיד"א מלמד אותנו ששבת ותשובה משולבים ביחד. כל אחד מסתמך על השני ומקושט על ידי השני. הוא מציין שהמילה "ושבת" כפי שהיא כתובה בתורה, כתובה עם אותן אותיות כמו [...]

The Day of Peace

The Chida teaches us that Shabbos and Teshuva go hand-in-hand. Each one relies on the other and is embellished by the other.

בארמון המלך

"ומבלעדיך אין לנו מלך מוחל וסולח אלא אתה" (תפילת יום הכיפורים) יש סיפור על מלך שהיה עובר בכפר, והוא הגיע למבוי סתום. הוא הבין שיהיה נוח יותר משם לעבור דרך שטח פרטי. אף על פי שהשדה הייתה גדורה מסביב, המלך השתמש בזכותו של התחום הקיסרי ושברו את הגדר ו"הסיג גבול" דרך השדה הזה. בעל השדה [...]

Forgive and be Forgiven

There is a famous story about one of the Belzer Rebbes who would walk around the shul on Yom Kippur encouraging and strengthening his Chassidim. Many thought that this was an odd practice for Yom Kippur. One Yom Kippur, as he was walking through the aisles, he saw someone who looked faint. The Rebbe quickly [...]
