Repent All Your Life

?

Said the Belzer: "We are commanded (Numbers 28:4), to bring daily two offerings, one in the morning and one in the evening. A sacrifice to the Lord is a symbol of repenetnance, and we may learn from the commandment that we should repent of our transgressions both in the morning of our life as well as in its evening."

Repentance

?

The Bratslaver said: "There are three requisites for repentance: seeing eyes, hearing ears, and an understanding heart, ready to return and be healed (a paraphrase of Isaiah 6:10). Let your eyes see your conduct; your ears hear words of admonition by our holy rabbis; and let your heart understand its eternal purpose. Then you will attain perfect penitence."

Day 176 – Innocent Remarks
?????????
When someone makes an innocent statement without realizing the consequences of what he is saying, people tend to accept his word as fact. Halachah, too, accepts such statements as fact in certain specific instances. (These are: as testimony regarding a man’s death in order that his wife be permitted to remarry; in determining the status of food that had been suspected of being non-kosher by rabbinic law; or where the facts will eventually come to light in any case.) Rechilus, however, cannot be accepted as fact even when a statement was made off-handedly.

Negative Commandments
?
In his introduction to Sefer Chofetz Chaim, the Chofetz Chaim enumerates 17 negative commandments which one may violate when speaking or listening to loshon hora. Below are the negative commandments most commonly transgressed:
?
1) You shall not be a gossipmonger among your people (Vayikra?19:16).
?
2) Do not accept a false report (Shemos 23:1), which prohibits both speaking and accepting loshon hora (Pesachim 118a).
?
3) Beware of a tzaraas affliction, to be very careful and to act (Devarim 24:8), which Sifre explains as a reference to loshon hora for which tzaraas is a punishment.
?
4) And you shall not place a stumbling block before the blind (Vayikra?19:14), by causing others to sin.
?
5) Take care, lest you forget Hashem, your God (Devarim?8:11) through arrogance (Sotah 5a) — a prime cause of loshon hora.
?
6) You shall not desecrate My holy Name (Vayikra?22:32).
?
7) You shall not hate your brother in your heart (Vayikra?19:17).
?
8) You shall not take revenge...
?
9) and you shall not bear a grudge (Vayikra?19:18).
?
10) That he not be like Korach and his assembly (Bamidbar 17:5), who caused strife among the Jewish people.
?
11) Each of you shall not aggrieve his fellow (Vayikra 25:17) through hurtful words.
?
12 (You shall reprove your fellow) and do not bear a sin because of him (Vayikra?19:17) by embarrassing him in the course of your reproof.
?
(The five remaining negative commandments are found in Shemos?22:21; 23:2; Vayikra?19:14; Bamidbar 35:33; and Devarim?19:15.)

Day 175 – Beyond Reproach
???????????
Halachah does recognize that there are individuals who are so precise, both in perception as well as in their conveying of facts, that hearing their account is tantamount to witnessing the act in person. One would be permitted to believe even rechilus told by such individuals, but could not share the information with others.
????????
?As stated in the laws of loshon hora, the Chofetz Chaim contends that no one today can claim to posses this degree of integrity; therefore, one should not rely on this halachah in practice.
?

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
A Public Appeal
?
Through the kindness of Hashem, I have now attained the age of “strength” (the eighties - see Tehillim 90:25), and virtually my entire life I have not diverted my mind from pondering the matter of speech, which involves numerous positive and negative commandments. To our misfortune, many among the multitudes have no regard whatsoever for the matter of shmiras haloshon; to their minds, it is nothing more than a matter of custom and propriety for those who wish to be zealous in it.
?
I direct my words to those who have some understanding of the Torah’s precepts, people whose hearts would undoubtedly be distressed for months on end were they to mistakenly eat meat that is unkosher. It is rare that these same people would feel such distress upon realizing that they have accepted as fact malicious talk about a certain individual, thereby transgressing the Torah prohibition against believing loshon hora. The reason for this apparent contradiction is that this prohibition is not taken seriously by the multitudes...
?
Ramban understands the commandment to recall the episode of Miriam’s affliction (Devarim 24:9) as an obligation to admonish one’s children and transmit to future generations how exceedingly shameful is this sin. In this way, the prohibition against speaking loshon hora will be fluent upon their lips. For this sin is great and brings with it many bad things — and people tend to transgress it regularly.
?
Moreover, inspiring others regarding the seriousness of this sin goes a long way toward insuring that one will himself refrain from speaking the forbidden (from a letter of the Chofetz Chaim, Iyar 5686 [1926]).

Mishnayos as the building blocks of Gemara

#8724

Hello,

This is something?often overlooked, but if you think about it, much of the Gemara is Mishnayos and Beraisos?(similar to Mishnayos) being compared and contrasted.

In fact, here's Rashi's 3-part explanation of "Gemara" (Berachos 11b):

1. It explains the reasoning behind the MISHNAH.

2. It resolves contradictions between MISHNAYOS..

3. It fills in when a MISHNAH is missing words.

Which means, the quicker you can sort through a MISHNAH and pick out the relevant parts, the easier it will be for you to get through the Gemara.

Much easier!

And the slower you are, the more the Gemara will be a struggle.

With that in mind, I've put together a short set of questions, a "Guide for Learning Mishnayos," which helps you to develop that skill systematically.

Here are the links for it:

Sleeping on Rosh Hashana

#8720

From: Rabbi Saberski <info@...>

Sholom U'vrocho

One of the frequently asked questions at this time of year is about sleeping on Rosh Hashono. Our Sages taught us that this could act as a negative sign for the year. However there are various points to be aware of:

1. The night sleep is not included in the above. One may sleep until the normal time of waking in the morning, this is part of the night sleep.

2. If needed, one may go to sleep after Halachic midday. This time varies from place to place, and can be found on many calenders.

3. If unable to concentrate on davening without sleeping beforehand, it is allowed.

4. Someone who is extremely tired and cannot function normally without sleep , may do so at any time as needed for this.

5. It is important to be aware that just being idle and not involved in any productive activity is considered as if sleeping regarding the negative sign.

6. This day should be spent involved in spiritual pursuits. This includes davening, learning, saying Tehillim, helping someone else, reading something inspirational etc.

7. Looking after one's children is a lofty calling and takes precedence over all the above (with no need to feel guilty about not being able to daven on Rosh Hashono!)

Wishing everyone a Kesiva Vechasima Toiva, with a year full of bracha and hatzlacha in every way.

With best wishes

Rabbi Saberski

Day 174 – Public Revelations and Suspicious Silence
???????
One may not believe rechilus even if it was related in public. The fact that a person is unafraid to publicly relate information that is cause for ill will is not proof of its authenticity and certainly not of its accuracy.
???????????
Furthermore, even if an accusation is made in the presence of the subject and the accused fails to respond, one may not interpret his silence as self-incrimination. The person may have been flustered and at a loss for words, of he may have chosen to remain silent rather than cause an escalation of the verbal abuse hurled at him.

The Way of Our Ancestors
?
The Midrash states that four sources of merit figured prominently in the redemption from Egypt: The Jews did not adopt Egyptian names, did not speak in the way of the Egyptians, were not guilty of immorality and did not speak loshon hora (Vayikra Rabbah 32:5).
?
Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu Rabbah (ch. 23) relates:
?
When the Jews were in Egypt, they assembled and sat down together, for they were united as one. They established a covenant to do kindness with one another; to safeguard in their hearts the covenant of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov; to serve their Father in Heaven alone; not to forsake the language of their father Yaakov’s house; and not to learn the language of the Egyptians, so as not to follow the ways of idol worshipers.
?
The Egyptians would ask them: “Why do you not serve our gods, for if you did, your workload would be lightened?’’ The Jews responded: “Did our forefathers forsake our Father in Heaven, that we should now do the same?’’
?
When the Jews circumcised their sons, the Egyptians suggested, “Perhaps if you do not observe this law, your difficult labor will be lightened.’’ The Jews responded: “Did our forefathers forget the covenant into which they entered with our Father in Heaven, that we should now do the same?’’
?
When Jews would marry and celebrate the Seven Days of Feasting that follow, the Egyptians asked, “Why do you celebrate? Soon you will be forced to perform your slave labor!’’ The Jews responded, “We shall celebrate — you can do with us as you please. Those who are destined to die, shall die. Those who are destined to live, shall live.’’
?
Let us follow in the ways of our ancestors, to do kindness with one another and faithfully uphold their covenant to serve no one but Hashem. Let us pay no heed to enticements and arguments to the contrary, just as the Jews paid no heed to the Egyptians’ words.
?
May we merit the fulfillment of the prophecy, “As in the days when you departed Egypt, will I show him wonders’’ (Michah?7:15) — speedily and in our time.
?

Rabbi Nathan David Sidlovtzer, son of Rabbi Yerachmiel, said: "We read: 'As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us' (Pslam 103:12). When a man stands facing the east, he needs but a turning about to face west. Likewise a sinner needs but a slight mental turning-about to be far removed from his transgressions."
