Coming up later
Avraham Avinu And Rashbi
Both cave-dwellers
One after life
One for his life
The Arizal identifies five names
Of Avraham’s cave
מערת המכפלה
מכפלה
שדה המכפלה
מערת שדה המכפלה
מערה
Ten times the letter ה׳
Like the ten times it appears in
The fifth brocho of שמונה עשרה
Rashbi’s brocho
Avraham reaches perfection
With his fifth letter
Rashbi was born with his five
Four women in Mearas Hamachpela
Have a ה׳ in their name
Corresponding to the first four names of the cave
Avraham is the only man there with a ה׳
Avraham Avinu is the cave itself
אברהם אבינו = במערה
The cave that gave bitrth to Rashbi
During the days of העמר
Shabbos Shalom
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.
