Beauty And The Beast

Key Takeaways

  • The Hebrew letter Aleph is the foundational unit of all other letters, analogous to a single particle from which all creation is built.
  • The letter Yod represents the unification of multiplicity back into absolute unity, symbolized by the concept of a minyan (quorum of ten).
  • The 40 years in the desert are represented by only a few highlighted events because key milestones encapsulate all other experiences within them.
  • The Meraglim (spies) failed despite having the spiritual DNA of the original tribal leaders because free will and personal bias (nagias) can override even the highest spiritual fortitude.
  • The destruction of the Beis Hamikdash is a recurring pattern rooted in internal conflict driven by sincere but misguided conviction — a Machloket L’shem Shemayim that never resolves.
  • Torah study must be paired with Tefilla (prayer) to ensure proper application and avoid catastrophic errors in judgment.

Messe Cried Last Night

Messe Cried Last Night

Like we did in the desert

Inviting Tisha Bav

Churban is home

For קנא״ה תאו״ה וכבו״ד

And רו״ת ignites her world

Of cryogenics

Spawning דוד מלכא משיחא

Rabbi Shimon’s utopian circle

And the Arizal’s dimension

Are impenetrable

To the crying impaired

The heartless can’t cry

And a messy heart

Shouldn’t bother

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.
