The Deceiving Cloak

The Tzupenester Rabbi was informed that a certain man was renowned for his piety. He remarked: "Piety that is renowned is a cloak, the cloth if which is pride; it is lined with anger, and sewn with the threads of melancholy."

Outside of Palestine

Said the "Yud": Rabbi David of Levov said: "Outside of Palestine a man may attain success, but not blessing, for 'the Lord bless you from Zion.' Success means mundane prosperity, and blessing, prosperity from on High. Rabbi Moses of Levov added: He who surrounds himself with holiness may obtain a blessing even outside of Palestine, since holiness sanctifies the very ground beneath his feet, making it as if it were Palestine."

Photos of Yom Ha'atzmaut in Ma'ale Adumim + 74 Wonders article

 

Hi Everyone!

Today, I took some movie clips of the Air Force flyover and photos of flags
on display in Ma'ale Adumim.
The movie clips did not come out good :-(
My camera / and me had problems focusing in on the aircraft against
the white clouds and it was hard to see what was being filmed on
the camera display. Unfortunately....many clips of white clouds...
so...

I extracted a few images from the clips and posted them
with the flag photos at:


I read today a very good article called:
74 wonders on Israel's Independence Day
You can read it on the Times of Israel:

or a copy on my site:


Enjoy!
Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach!
Shabbat Shalom!

Yikety yikes! Meaty knife, sharp onion, milky meal

 

Of course you have a kosher kitchen. But there's that gray, fuzzy area where your knowledge ends and uncertainty sets in.

There's the "leave it for 24 hours" thing. And the sharp foods, knives and chopping boards rule. But you would really love to be crystal clear when it comes to these halachos, not mentally fudging what you heard in a shiur, read in a sefer or absorbed in Seminary.

Because it's your kitchen. Your family. Your food. And you're responsible.

And somehow, when a kitchen?botch-up does happen, you're under heavy pressure: The Sheva Brochos is in two hours. Eight kids are clamoring for supper.

You CAN know for sure. You CAN know what to do under pressure. You CAN know exactly when you have to call a Rav - and how to present the shaila intelligently.

Start here. Sign up for the free, pre-course webinar by Rabbi YZ Saberski, a Moreh Hora'ah in Gateshead, England:

Solve 3 kitchen kashrus botch-ups with basics your posek wishes you knew.

Date:?Sunday, May 8th
Times (will be done twice, live for your convenience):?Israel?- 8:30 and 10:30pm,?USA?- 1:30 and 3.30pm,?UK?- 6:30 and 8:30pm?

- VISUAL (engaging slides)?
- INTERACTIVE (Q&A at the end)?
- SHORT (30 minutes)

Sign up here:?
(Can't come? Sign up anyway for a replay sent to your inbox!)

Looking forward to welcoming you!

Sara Peltz

P.S. Yes, you'll get a reminder right before. So you can safely forget about this webinar for now and get on with the rest of your day :) ()

Day 33 ¨C Negative Allusions
?
There are times when a speaker makes a positive statement about a person and intends it as such, but negative and harmful information can be inferred from his words.? The Torah would not consider one who does this to be a holech rachil, peddler of gossip, since both his intent and his words are clearly sincere and positive.
?
Rabbinically, however, this too is prohibited, under a category referred to as avak loshon hora, the ¡°dust¡± of loshon hora, which is spread by way of carelessness.
?
A common form of avak loshon hora is where one sincerely praises another person, but in doing so, alludes to a shortcoming of that individual.
?
¡°Who would have believed that he would have come this far?¡± clearly suggests something negative about the person.? Such a statement can cause the person embarrassment when said in his presence, and can be harmful to him even when he is not present.? Hence, it is forbidden.
?
?

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON

When Foes Become Friends

?
Sefer Ma¡¯alos HaMiddos continues:
?
The Talmud states that no man ¡ªeven a gentile in the marketplace ¡ªever preceded Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai in extending a greeting of peace (Berachos 17a).
?
Our Sages taught: ¡°Initiate a greeting of peace to every person¡± (Avos 4:20). What is meant by ¡°every person¡±? Even if you know that someone bears you ill will, nevertheless, initiate a greeting of peace toward him. This will awaken a feeling of love for you within him. And even if he will not humble himself to make peace with you, God will humble him before you [so that he will not cause you any harm]. An allusion to this is found in Scripture, ¡°But if he does not make peace with you ... HASHEM shall deliver him into your hand¡± (Devarim 20:12-13).
?
Illustrative of the above is the story of David and Shaul. David sought peace with Shaul, while Shaul, far from being appeased, pursued David with the intent of harming him. Thus did David say, ¡°I am peace ¡ªbut when I speak, they are for war¡± (Tehillim 120:7). In two separate episodes, Hashem gave Shaul over into David¡¯s hands [and David could have easily killed him]. Yet, it did not enter David¡¯s mind to cause Shaul any harm, for man must love peace and pursue it.

The Return

Rabbi Bunam explained the verse (Psalm 37:34): "He will exalt you to inherit the land." He said: "The Lord tells us that He will raise the people of Israel to a high place of fame among the nations before they will be fit to inherit the Holy Land. Let us, therefore, become great enough to arouse the admiration of the peoples , and we shall be ready to return to our land."

Day 32 ¨C Non Kosher Entertainment

?
It is forbidden to relate a story for entertainment purposes only, if it contains derogatory or harmful information.
?
To relate an amusing incident that would cause embarrassment to any of the people involved if told in their presence constitutes speaking loshon hora.? Many a humorous situation is actually quite painful to the person involved.

Peace is Precious
?
Sefer Ma¡¯alos HaMiddos (24) states:
?
Know, my son, that peace is an exalted quality, for it [Peace] is one of the Names of God ... Wherever
peace is found, fear of God is found; wherever peace is lacking, fear of God is lacking.
?
Our Sages state: Peace is precious, for God altered the truth for the sake of peace between Avraham and Sarah. Sarah [in expressing disbelief that she would yet bear a child] said, ¡°And my master [Avraham] is old¡± (Bereishis 18:12), but Hashem [in relating her statement to Avraham] said, ¡°And I [Sarah] am old¡± (ibid. v. 13).
?
After Yaakov died, the brothers sent Yosef a message: ¡°Your father gave orders before his death,saying, ¡®Thus shall you say to Yosef: O please, kindly forgive the spiteful deed of your brothers...¡¯¡± (ibid. 50:16). We do not find any indication in the Torah that Yaakov did, in fact, give such instructions, for he did not suspect Yosef [of bearing any ill will toward his brothers. Yet the brothers, out of fear that Yosef had not forgiven them, altered the truth for the sake of peace].
?
Peace is precious, for in times of war, we must first seek peace, as it is written: ¡°When you draw near to a city to wage war against it, you shall call out to it for peace¡± (Devarim 20:10).
?
Peace is precious, for it is with the blessing of peace that we conclude Bircas Kohanim (The Priestly Blessing), as it is written, ¡°... and [may Hashem] establish peace for you¡± (Bamidbar 6:26).
?
Peace is precious, for it is with a request for peace that we conclude our daily prayer [i.e. the Shemoneh Esrei], as is derived from the verse: ¡°HASHEM will give might to His people, HASHEM will bless His people with peace¡± (Tehillim 29:18).
?
Moreover, on the great day of consolation at the End of Days, the first good tidings will be of peace, as it is written, ¡°How beautiful ascending the mountains are the footsteps of the herald, making heard, ¡®Peace!¡¯¡± (Yeshayahu 52:7).

The Broom

The Besht was accustomed to send forth his disciples to endeavor to improve people. Once his disciple, Rabbi Mendel of Bar, returned to Medziboz from a journey. The Besht said to him: "A broom sweeps the courtyards clean, but it becomes soiled itself. Go now and cleanse yourself of any offenses you may be guilty of."

The Use of Money

The Premislaner said: "It is true that a Jew oftentimes offers most earnestly those prayers which plead for a livelihood and for money. But to what use does he place the money? He keeps God's commandments therewith; he donates it to charities; he engages a teacher to instruct his children in the Torah; he spends it on meals appropriate to Shabbat; he conrtibutes it to the support of students of the Talmud. Is it improper, then, for him to pray for money?"
