The Arizal Left Our World
Disappointed
Like the Beis Hamikdash
His prize talmid ignored the rules
And machlokes torpedoed his chabura
Like the Beis Hamikdash
Moments before leaving he said
Had even one of his group
Been a complete tzaddik
He wouldn’t have to die prematurely
Whoever wants the Beis Hamikdash
Must internalize the epitaph of the Arizal
Before immersing in avodas Hashem
ואהבת לרעך כמוך
Most of us don’t know
Or don’t care
How these words obligate us
See Mesilas Yesharim Ch. 11

Coming up soon |
Coming up later
Until Moshiach Is Born
At Mincha time of Tisha Bav
Our נחמה Is Chanuka
נר חנוכה מצוה להניחה בתוך עשרה
Anywhere within ten?
Mekubalim say at seven
Halacha says above three
Why the ambiguity?
Twenty one days of בין המצרים
Bemoaning the churban
Bring us to thank Hashem for it
At the bottom of the ninth
לנח״ם בתוך עשרה
Shabbos Chazon 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.
