Yitzchok And Yishmael Bury Avraham

Yitzchok And Yishmael Bury Avraham

In Mearas Hamachpela

The shevatim bury Yaakov

In Mearas Hamachpela

Esav and Yaakov bury Yitzchok

Without mention of Mearas Hamachpela

Adam and Chava are buried there too

With no mention of their burial

Or Mearas Hamachpela

Moshe Rabenu is connected

To Mearas Hamachpela

And hinted to numerous times in the Chumash

Why do the Arabs try to limit access to Yitzchok?

Why is Mearas Hamachpela visited so infrequently?

Why is Esav’s head there?

Why is יוד הה וו הה called Mearas Hamachpela?

Shabbos Shalom

Yitzchok Went To Daven Mincha

Yitzchok Went To Daven Mincha

In Chevron

He meets Rivka

And brings her to Sarah’s tent

In Chevron

That’s the Zohar’s approach

And the Gemara disagrees

Mincha was on Har HaBayis

Yitzchok met Rivka in Yerushalayim

Then took her to Sarah’s tent

ויבאה = ויאהבה

In Chevron

יצחק = נחמו נחמו

Yitzchok was consoled

בתוך שאר אבלי ציון

Consoled in Yerushalayim

וינחם יצחק אחרי אמו = בירושלם

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.
