Shiras HaYam
Is Considered our emancipation proclamation.
A slave isn’t free with this being documented.
Despite the endless chesed involved with yetzias Mitzrayim,
Perek Shira has the ox saying az yashir.
The ox represents gevura, not chesed.
Today’s a good day to decipher this discrepancy.
Avodas Sefiras HaOmer
Is summed up in three statements (click here).
Discover how each is related to Haman.
How does Haman relate to the general theme of the Omer?
Emulate Avraham
That’s the avoda of Pesach.
Purge the money addiction.
How?
Give tzedaka like Avraham.
Goyim TAKE the fifth.
Liberated Jews GIVE the fifth, in honor of the “Pesach Fives”.
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.
