The Eighth Day Of The Omer
Parshas Shemini
Focus on kedusha today
Sevens bring tahara
Eights kedusha
Eliyahu haNavi is metaher
Moshiach mekadesh
Wash your hands for tahara
Lift them toward your head for kedusha
Channel your emunah into your actions
Today make a kiddush Hashem

Hey Nun |
Coming up later
Tonight’s Avoda
1-During your meal, focus on the word “מאכל“
2-Imagine yourself a מלאך eating מן
3-Recite Tikunei Zohar:10 slowly (attached)
4-Imagine your words depleting the breath of your enemies
Shabbos Morning Avoda
1–Sing אז ישיר savoring each one of the 19 pesukim
2-Imagine yourself ביבשה בתוך הים
3–Try to connect each of the 19 words in the last posuk to the 19 pesukim
4-And the 19 brochos of shemoneh esreh
Points To Ponder
1-Why 19?
2-Why is the last posuk the most important?
3-Why is אז ישיר greater than all other שירות?
4–Why is it specifically the שור that says אז ישיר in Perek Shira?
Shabbos Shalom
Chag Sameach
Sefiras HaOmer
Purifies as you count
And sanctifies
If you count multiple times daily
Women don’t count
The Omer
They’ve got their own count
So does a zav
Why don’t they count verbally?
And why not count mutiple times daily?
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.
