How Does Shemita Relate To Har Sinai
We trusted Hashem at Har Sinai.
Therefore, He supports us during shemita even if we don’t trust Him then.
See Noam Elimelech Behar 2022 (click here) for details…
Outside of shemita, Divine support depends on our trust.
Rashbi is all about bitachon.
He steps out of his security cave around parshas Behar.
Simon says, “Trust Hashem”.
Perek Shira’s Rooster
Voices his fourth from the desk of Yaakov Avinu.
לישועתך קויתי ה׳
The Zohar teaches, Yaakov is the outside, Moshe the inside.
Yaakov is the kav, Moshe the light flowing through it.
לישועתך קוינו כל היום
If you produce the kav, Hashem will fill it with His Light.
תפארת שבנצח
A Message From Me’aras Hamachpela
The development of Patriarchal middos
Leads to Netzach.
Moshe Rabenu.
He’s in this cave too.
Just doesn’t talk much about it.
Doesn’t talk much at all.
Conquer quietly.
Gevura sheb’Netzach
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.
