Jewish Valentine’s Day

Jewish Valentine’s Day
Born out of assimilation and ignorance

Six occurrences converge on Tu B’Av 
They’re the vav connecting the two hehs
Of the 17th of Tamuz and Tisha Bav

If you’ve understood properly
You realize the all important yud
Is still unaccounted for

Your Yiddishkeit depends on it
Where’s your crown?

Tu B’Av on LT

Are Your Tzitzis Out?

Are Your Tzitzis Out?

And your yarmulke is…a baseball cap?

Bein Hazmanim is a time for Bnei Torah

To showcase the real world

How real Yiddishkeit functions

Moshe Rabenu never made it to Israel

Yosef HaTzaddik made it back and was buried there

Moshe Rabenu went incognito

Aquiesced to being called איש מצרי

Yosef flaunted his religion

Despite the hostile environment

Earned the title נער עברי

Jewish Fool

Embarrassed of who you are?

If you’re afraid for your well-being

Jew don’t belong there

The Ultimate Delight

Key Takeaways

  • The group completed their study of The Light Beyond, a text compiled by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, covering topics including Mashiach, resurrection, punishment of the grave, reward and punishment, and the ultimate good.
  • Rabbi Nachman’s teaching that Mashiach will come during a time of “Hesach Hadaas” (distraction/loss of focus) was reinterpreted as referring to a general deterioration of human focus and connection, not specifically distraction from Mashiach.
  • The “luz bone” (indestructible bone) was discussed as a symbol of Jewish indestructibility, connected to the Kotel, Meron, and the concept of Nechama (consolation).
  • Punishment of the grave (Chibbut HaKever) is a real concept from Chazal and the Arizal, but there are practical ways to mitigate or avoid it.
  • The world is fundamentally built on Chesed (lovingkindness); even apparent Din (judgment) serves as a container for Chesed.
  • The ultimate reward in the World to Come is simply called “Tov” (good) — connection with Hashem Himself.
  • The book’s final section (13:17) was noted as intentionally structured: 13 = Echad, 17 = Tov, ending on a note of unity and goodness.

Yeshivas Rashbi

Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.

 

With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.

 

When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.

 

$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.

Stealth Kollel

Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.

 

They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.

 

Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.

 

There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.

 

Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
