Shavuos

Build On It

Thus said the LORD of Hosts: If you walk in My paths and keep My charge, you in turn will rule My House and guard My courts, and I will permit you to move about among these attendants. (Zacharia 3:7) As we prepare for Shavuos and think about the situation when klal Yisrael encamped while [...]

Sleepless Nights

As we know, Shavuos is the time that we celebrate the giving of the Torah. The luchos habris were the physical expression of our bond with Hashem. However, that original article of our connection was destroyed by Moshe Rabbeinu shortly thereafter. It then took us a few months to receive a second set. The Shla [...]

לילות ללא שינה

ידוע שחג השבועות הוא הזמן בו אנו חוגגים את מתן התורה. לוחות הברית היו הביטוי הפיזי של הקשר שלנו עם ה'. עם זאת, אותו הסמל המקורי לקשר שלנו נשבר על ידי משה רבנו כמעט מיד. ורק לאחר כמה חודשים קבלנו את הלוחות השניות. השל"ה הקדוש מספר לנו שהן היו אותו הדבר בדיוק - העתק מושלם [...]

Non-Sense

There are two interesting questions about the Yom Tov of Shavuos that set it apart from the other Yomim Tovim. First, there is no particular mitzvah or commandment to be done on this Yom Tov (unlike Rosh Hashanah which has Shofar, Pesach which has Matzah, or Sukkos which has Sukkah and arba minim). Second, the [...]

ללא הגיון

ישנם שני הבדלים מעניינים בין יום טוב של שבועות, לחגים אחרים. ראשית, אין מצווה מיוחדת לשבועות (בניגוד לראש השנה שיש מצוות שופר, בפסח יש מצה, ובסוכות יש סוכה וארבעת המינים). שנית, התורה אינה מזכירה תאריך מסוים עבור חג השבועות - אלא הוא נספר מהיום השני של פסח. הבני יששכר מתייחס לנושא של התאריך עם הרעיון [...]

Toras Chesed

In Parshas Bamidbar, Hashem commands Moshe to count us again. This is done with a half shekel per person. In order to have a complete shekel, we must get together with our fellow Jew. It seems to me, this isn’t just a way of avoiding a plague, rather it is teaching us that though we [...]
