The Divine Nature

Commenting on the words in the Rosh Hashana hymn :His garment is charity; His mantle is wrath; He is girded with vengeance: His hidden character is compassion," the Rozdoler Rabbi said: "The author expalins in these words the Divine Nature. Only outwardly is our Lord clothed with wrath and girded with vengenance; but hidden within, He wears the garment of charity and compassion."

The best way to get through the 23-day holiday period with our weight and health intact is to plan!

?

Here are tips help you in the kitchen and beyond as you prepare for the holidays:

?

• How to fill your plate: Half your plate should be vegetables, both raw and cooked. Proteins should be a quarter of you plate, and whole grains the remaining quarter.
• If you are eating animal proteins, keep it minimal and don’t take seconds.
• Preload your meals by drinking a glass or two of water right at the beginning.
• Use fruits (watermelon) or natural sorbets for dessert.
• When cooking and baking, don’t overdo the tasting! Taste to know your dish is up to par, but that’s all.
• Don’t feel obligated to finish everything you serve. Finishing food just for the sake of finishing it will always get you into trouble with the extra calories. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen.
• Keep meals simple. With many meals over the holiday season, you have plenty of opportunities to implement your creative cooking.
• Try taking walks after meals. It is not healthy for our metabolism when we fall asleep immediately after a meal.

This past year has indeed been interesting in the arena of health and fitness.? I worked with many clients as they put in effort to change old habits and achieve good health. My eyes were opened even wider to the pronounced positive effects of lifestyle changes to health as I watched as those with fatty livers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and just lack of normal daily function, first halt the progress of their disease and then begin the process of reversal.?

It’s amazing to witness!

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM ? Day 170 – Believing Constructive Information???????????? ? Unlike listening to rechilus, which is justified when the information is pertinent, believing rechilus is not permissible regardless of one’s purpose. Even if one must inquire about a person with whom he is considering entering into a relationship, he may not believe as fact any negative information that has been told about the person. Never may one develop feelings of hatred towards a person on the basis of information heard about him – even though the information was obtained in a permissible manner. ? ? SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON ? Most Neglected ? Above, we referred to shmiras haloshon as a meis mitzvah, a mitzvah which is woefully ignored by many who do not reckon it as a mitzvah at all. Though this needs no proof, we will nevertheless demonstrate that it is true. ? There are people who find nothing wrong with saying the most derogatory remarks about others, for no good reason. When asked, “Why do you speak loshon hora?’’ they respond with dozens of reasons as to why their words are not loshon hora at all! If the questioner then responds with irrefutable proof that, indeed, the statements voiced do constitute loshon hora, they respond, “Well, it’s not loshon hora when said about So-and-so — it’s a mitzvah to speak ill of him!’’ The more one tries to convince them that they err, the more they heap calumny upon the subject of their ill-spoken words. ? Does this happen with other sins? Does an otherwise observant Jew who has been caught eating something forbidden respond to his reprover by grabbing another piece of the food and stuffing it into his own mouth? Certainly not. Why, then, does this occur with the sin of loshon hora which, as we have shown in previous chapters, is among the worst sins in the Torah? The answer is that this very serious matter has become hefker, disregarded, and trampled upon by many. We speak not only of habitual gossipers. There are many people who are not given to gossip, yet do not consider loshon hora as serious as most other sins. Therefore, they turn a deaf ear when told to refrain from speaking the forbidden. ? There is no greater meis mitzvah in our time.

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM ? Day 171 – Divisive Insights????????? ? If a person was present when a statement was made or an act was committed by an individual, and then someone else who was present points out to the person that the act was intended to hurt him, he may not believe this interpretation of what had transpired. Not only is it wrong to believe a report that is rechilus, it is also prohibited to accept an insight that transforms an innocent occurrence into a malicious act. ? ? SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON ? A Contradiction ? The gossiper should be filled with shame over his blatant disregard for the transgressions which he regularly commits, for surely he believes that every letter of the Torah is true and God-given. ? Imagine that the gossiper were called to the Torah and the portion to be read contained one of the verses which prohibits loshon hora, such as “Do not go as a gossipmonger among your people” (Vayikra?19:16); “Accursed is one who strikes his fellow stealthily” (Devarim 27:24); “Remember that which Hashem, your God, did to Miriam” (Bamidbar 24:9); “Do not accept a false report” (Shemos 23:1); etc. As the gossiper looks at the scroll’s words before reciting the opening blessing he notices that one of the letters in one of the above verses is missing a point, rendering it invalid. Surely he would not recite the blessing, for he knows that in order to be valid the Torah scroll must be complete, and that not a single letter may be deficient in any way. The gossiper clearly believes that every letter of the holy Torah is true. Why then does he totally disregard these verses in practice?! ? As mentioned above, a person should choose at least one mitzvah to which he will dedicate himself with utmost devotion. There is particular benefit in selecting the mitzvah to guard one’s tongue as one’s singular mitzvah. We can liken this to earning a livelihood. The average person would prefer to have a steady livelihood which earns him a modest but predictable profit, as opposed to a business which may bring him large profits, but without any sort of regularity or predictability. The mitzvah of shmiras haloshon can accrue merit day and night in virtually any situation. Whether one is at home, in the study hall, market, or at a social gathering, he is forever presented with opportunities to refrain from speaking and listening to the forbidden. And as the Sages teach, “One who sits and does not commit a sin is granted reward equivalent to that of one who performs a mitzvah” (Kiddushin 39b).

God's Deeds

The Strelisker explained the three lines from the Rosh Hashana hymn this way: "His secret is uprightness; His advice is faith; His deeds are truth": "Because the uprightness and justice of God are oftentimes hidden from us, it is His advice that we have faith that His deeds are always truth."

The Approachable King

Said the Mezeritzer: "When a king is at a celebration he is more approachable to many people who otherwise would be denied admittance to the palace. Likewise, when we serve God with joy, He is more approachable."
