Protected In the Sukkah

From the Desk of the Chairman We are about to enter our Sukkos, our annual reminder that Hashem runs the world and protects us 24/7. We experience this protection first-hand in our flimsy Sukkos, and then bring that thought back with us into our reinforced concrete homes. Some people in the Holy Land recently declared [...]

Beautifully Accepting what Hashem Sends

After the Yomim Noraim, we are confronted with two mitzvos that are customarily beautified more than any other mitzvos in general: The mitzvah of sukkah and the mitzva of daled minim. Why is it that these mitzvos get the special privilege of being enhanced over most mitzvos? The Chasam Sofer answers this question and tells [...]

להכיר ולהוקיר

מיד אחרי הימים הנוראים יש לנו שתי מצוות שבדרך כלל שמים דגש על יופיין יותר ממצוות אחרות: מצוות סוכה והמצווה של ד' מינים. מדוע למצוות אלו יש את היחס המיוחד לנוי יותר ממרבית המצוות? החתם סופר עונה על שאלה זו ואומר שבאמת רצונינו הוא לייפות את כל המצוות באותה מידה. עם זאת, אחרי הימים נוראים, [...]

No Pain, No Gain

For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life (Devarim 32:47) Many people walk into the Beis Medrash and upon seeing the daunting number of seforim there, give up hope of leaning anything before they even start. “How does Hashem expect me to learn all of this?” they wonder. “It is [...]

לפום צערא אגרא

"כִּי לֹא דָבָר רֵק הוּא, מִכֶּם כִּי הוּא, חַיֵּיכֶם" – (דברים לב:מז) אני בטוח שאנשים רבים נכנסים לבית המדרש וכשהם רואים את הכמות המרתיעה של הספרים שנמצאים שם הם מתיאשים עוד לפני שהם מתחילים. איך יכול להיות שה' מצפה ממני ללמוד את כל אלו? זה לא בתוך היכולות הפיזיות והנפשיות שלי! שאלה טובה, אך רק [...]

Poor Excuses

Many times, a Rav, mashgiach, spiritual leader, notices that one of his constituents has become lax in attending davening. He will approach him and ask “what is going on that is causing you to slack off in your observance?” Many times, the response from this person will be “Right now it is the busy season [...]
