Parshas Parah
Begins with Purim
After רפו ידיהם מן התורה
פה ריש – Power
Parah prepares you
For סיפור יציאת מצרים
פה סח
And then ספירת העמר
Then the שופר of Har Sinai
Which was from אילו של יצחק
Avraham Avinu fell into flames
Then acquired אליעזר
Then earned פרה אדומה for his nation
פרה אדומה = מגן אברהם
פרה is the only mesechta in Shas
Beginning with a Tanna’s name
רבי אליעזר אומר
Descendant of משה רבנו
By request
ושם האחד אליעזר
ויצלני מחרב פרעה
רבי יוחנן בן זכאי told him
אתה יכול לומר דברי תורה
יותר ממה שקבלו מסיני
Shabbos Parah Shalom
Mesechta Megila
Begins with מגילה
And ends with ירושלים
Two days of Purim
One sponsored by ואהבת
Next one by יום הכפורים
כי יד על כס יה
3 x מגלה = הויה
Yom Kipur is Yerushalayim
One place in the world celebrates יה
לשנה הבאה בירושלים הבנויה
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.
