Shema: A Weapon of Warfare

20:1 When you go forth to battle against your enemies… The gemora in Sota (42a) tells us that in a time of war, the Mashuach Milchama would rally klal Yisrael, with the words “Shema Yisrael”.  The gemora tells us that with nothing more than the merit of “Kerias Shema”, one can be successful in a [...]

לחשוב על דברים חשובים

"כִּי-תֵצֵא לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל-אֹיְבֶךָ" (דברים כ:א) הגמרא בסוטה (מב:א) מספרת לנו שבעת מלחמה, המשוח מלחמה מזעיק את כלל ישראל בצעקת המילים של "שמע ישראל". הגמרא מסבירה שבזכות קריאת שמע בלבד, יכולים לנצח במלחמה. למרות שאנחנו מבינים את החשיבות של המצווה, למה דוקא מצווה זו מסוגלת להביא הצלחה במלחמה? בעולם החסידות, כשהתורה מדברת על מלחמה, זהו משל [...]

The Mistake about Mistakes

19:4 … and hated him not in time past; As Rosh Chodesh Elul is behind us and we look for inspiration for the upcoming yomim nora’im, we might be surprised to find “major” inspiration by focusing on the small things. We find such an example with the drastic consequences in this week’s parsha: The Torah [...]

הטעות על טעויות

"וְהוּא לֹא-שֹׂנֵא לוֹ מִתְּמֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם" (דברים יט:ד) ראש חודש אלול כבר מאחורינו ואנחנו מחפשים התרגשות לקראת הימים הנוראים הקרובים, באופן מפתיע, אנחנו יכולים למצוא התרגשות "גדולה" על ידי התבוננות בדברים הקטנים. יש דוגמה, עם השלכות חמורות, שהוזכרה בפרשת השבוע: התורה מספרת לנו על חוטב עצים שקצץ עצים ביער, וכשהוא בקע בגרזן שלו, עף ראש הגרזן [...]

Unquestionable Faith, Unquestionable Uncertainty

תָּמִים תִּהְיֶה, עִם ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ (דברים יח:יג) Thou shalt be whole-hearted with the LORD thy G-d (Devarim 18:13) The Torah demands of us to have simple faith in what HaKadosh Baruch Hu does. We live in a time when people find it difficult to trust one another in all matters of life; trusting Hashem is [...]

The Danger of Jealousy

ה וְדִבְּרוּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים, אֶל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר, מִי-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַיִת-חָדָשׁ וְלֹא חֲנָכוֹ, יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ: פֶּן-יָמוּת, בַּמִּלְחָמָה, וְאִישׁ אַחֵר, יַחְנְכֶנּוּ. 5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying: 'What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the [...]
