Shabbos Shofar

Key Takeaways

  • Lashon Hara (negative speech) directly undermines the power of the Shofar and all spiritual protections, especially on Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah.
  • The antidote to Lashon Hara is L’Hodot — verbal gratitude and acknowledgment of Hashem — which is the core purpose of Shabbos.
  • Rosh Hashanah is not a day of self-pity or personal introspection; it is a day of coronating Hashem with joy (Simcha).
  • Simcha is a spiritual survival tool on Rosh Hashanah, enabling a person to escape prosecution and connect deeply with Hashem.
  • The four Moadim correspond to four daily Zechiros, with Rosh Hashanah connected to the Zechira of Miriam — a reminder of the dangers of Lashon Hara.

  • The importance of being joyful (b’simcha) on Rosh Hashanah — while also allowing for emotional crying — was highlighted.

Yeshivas Rashbi

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.

Stealth Kollel

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.
