Who Killed the Bechoros?

The Zohar and friends clearly say it was Hashem Himself.

Most people leave the world via the Malach HaMavess.
Only tzaddikim are priveleged to graduate upwards via Hashem Himself.

The bechoros were tzaddikim?

Shabbos Shalom!

Basic Judaism!

You cannot go through parshas Bo without experiencing this Ramban.

Called “the most famous Ramban in the Chumash”.

Rav Moshe zt’l would say it must be reviewed “tamid”.

Learn it with a chavrusa, with the Artscroll Ramban, or bring it up in our shiurim.

Don’t miss Yetzias Mitzrayim!

Ramban on Exodus 13:16

Tehillim of the Week!

In honor of Yetzias Mitzrayim…
Let’s say/learn/live kapitel 78.

It’s a long haul (just like the golus), but well worth it.
Gaonim say reciting this kapitel 24 times renders miraculous dividends.

Watch out for key features like:
Hearing
Four Worlds
Sippur Yetzias Mitzrayim
Bitachon
Makkos Details
Rashbi
Miraculous Survival
Relationship With Hashem
Gratitude
Eretz Yisroel
Bilvavi
Ultimate Redemption

The Baal Shem Tov Asks A Kasha!

Posuk 7:5 says Hashem’s intention is to educate the Mitzrim.
That’s the point of the makkos?

Editor’s note: Consider posuk 6:7. Does it contradict the kasha?

Feedback always welcome and responded to…

Shabbos Shalom!

Shemos Shayla

How does the name “Shemos” capture the essence of this parsha or this entire sefer called “Shemos”?
You’re tempted to respond, “How is Vayikra any better?”.
Let’s hear a more sophisticated answer!
Besides, Vayikra actually has a nice approach…

Shabbos Shalom!

Leil Shishi Parsha Challenge!

Tehillim of the Week

Let’s chew on kapitel 1!

As we descend into the Egyptian golus, Dovid HaMelech advises:
Sitting right
Walking right
Right of way
Hasmada
Stability
Consistency
Focus on frailty of evil
Daas Hashem

Shema Shayla

Verbal mitzvos can be fulfilled by hearing another Jew verbalizing for you.
Like Kiddush, chazaras hashatz etc.
This is called שומע כעונה.
The Vilna Gaon and others rule that Kriyas Shema can’t be fulfilled this way.
Why not?

Shabbos Shalom!

Tehillim of the Week!

Animal KIngdom

Insights? Observations?

Maybe we should consider a Tehillim chabura…

Vayigash Is Served

The Medrash teaches that Yehuda burned idolatrous images off the chariots sent for Yaakov Avinu.
Yehuda ordered the incineration of Tamar.
Rabbi Yehuda rules “אין ביעור חמץ אלא שריפה”.
He also pardons one for fire damage caused by his outdoor Chanuka lights.

What is connection between Yehuda and fire?

Feedback is welcomed with a geshmak…

Shabbos Shalom
