Post Shavuos Yiddish Lesson
Courtesy of Rabbi Dovid AbuChatzera Shlita
Tzaddikim call this Shabbos
“Shabbos Noch Shavuos”.
Noch has two meanings
“Afterwards”, and “again”.
This Shabbos not only follows Shavuos,
It’s also an opportunity to continue what we started this Shavuos.
Pick up where you left off
Take it up a level.
Every Chag Is Unique
Pesach with it’s chometz, matza, and sippur yetzias Mitzrayim.
Sukkos loaded down with surround sound mitzvos.
Yomim Noraim…you get the picture.
Shavuos?
Nothing at all.
No special requirements or prohibitions.
It’s entirely in your hands.
Some make cheesecake out of it.
Others, perfection of the human condition.
Time to look up some good recipes.
Shavua Tov
Welcome To Malchus
Different than Hod
Hod is submission
Malchus reception
Hod deficiency is confrontational
Malchus deficiency כפירה בעיקר
Seven days of receptiveness
ושונא מתנות יחיה
The Ramchal
Taught us how to be divine
Yesod Sheb’Yesod
Taught us how to climb
Tragic persecution
The landscape of his life
Kodesh HaKadoshim
Forty years of Har Sinai
Light a candle for the Tzaddik
For his mussar
For his wine
Thank Hashem
For still believing
For the Tzaddikim
For our eyes
You’ve Cape Canaveraled
Astronomized
To who’s credit
Me myself and I
Au contraire
My sunny friend
Only fumbles
From your end
Supernovas
Constellations
Patriarchal
Scintillation
Time To Be A Tzaddik
Your application’s been submitted
Time To Be A Tzaddik
You Stole My Son
More than one
At least you tried to
Dreamed he’d fight you
Instead he ran
Circling around
In pristine perfection
You’re the perfect clown
Bnei aliyah
Your nemeses
Your Jabber claws
Our enemies
This Is War
My landlord tells me.
Fighting for the Tzaddik.
Fighting for reality.
Korach challenged the world’s foundation.
Challenged reality.
ולא יהיה כקרח וכעדתו
That’s a guarantee, not a prohibition.
Take No For An Answer
Take a hike if they blockade your mountain.
Take a chill if they resent your enthusiasm.
Take a break if your luchos get unbearably weighted.
Take a backseat in your life.
Take a flying leap Yetzer Hara.
A Pesach Sheni leap.
Don’t take anything.
Give it instead.
זכרתי לך חסד נעוריך
The Arizal Shlepped
His whole family by beastly transport
From Egypt to Meron for Lag BaOmer.
Today the world is lazy.
To sit is to stagnate.
Rabbi Shimon saw a man running for Shabbos
His faith in the world was restored.
בואו ונצא לקראת שבת
Torah institutions are called yeshivas.
Struggle to understand why.
