Tzav Is For Zerizus
Particularly where there’s חסרון כיס
Royalty deficiency
כיס = מלך
Yeshaya HaNavi says
השיר יהיה לכם כליל התקדש חג
The night climaxing Rosh Chodesh Nissan
החדש הזה לכם
Seder night we’re royalty
ויהי בישרון מלך
Monarchs like Avraham
Zerizim like him too
Simchas haSeder
Thanks to royal holiness
Night becomes day
משם רעה אבן ישראל
Shabbos Hagadol Shalom
Rabbi Nachman Is Offering A Masters In Pesach
The required text for study:
Story 5 in his סיפורי מעשיות (see attached)
1-Parshas Tzav is Shabbos HaGadol (96 pesukim)
2-The Zohar reveals the simcha of Pesach on page 96a
3-The letters וצ near the end of אנא בכח are the basis of Story 5
It’s in style to scream out during the seder
Rabbi Nachman was on this centuries ago (LM 201).
Get your masters
Earn real gadlus
Charoses
Is it a mitzva or not?
Based on mishna Pesachim
The Rambam says mitzva
The Arizal says not
As a mitzva
The Rambam provides a recipe
Halachically
But according to him
Why is charoses not a step of the seder?
And why not get a brocho of it’s own?
The Arizal provides his own recipe
But why bother
If it’s not a mitzva?
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.
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.
