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.
How Does Shemita Relate To Har Sinai
We trusted Hashem at Har Sinai.
Therefore, He supports us during shemita even if we don’t trust Him then.
See Noam Elimelech Behar 2022 (click here) for details…
Outside of shemita, Divine support depends on our trust.
Rashbi is all about bitachon.
He steps out of his security cave around parshas Behar.
Simon says, “Trust Hashem”.
Perek Shira’s Rooster
Voices his fourth from the desk of Yaakov Avinu.
לישועתך קויתי ה׳
The Zohar teaches, Yaakov is the outside, Moshe the inside.
Yaakov is the kav, Moshe the light flowing through it.
לישועתך קוינו כל היום
If you produce the kav, Hashem will fill it with His Light.
תפארת שבנצח
A Message From Me’aras Hamachpela
The development of Patriarchal middos
Leads to Netzach.
Moshe Rabenu.
He’s in this cave too.
Just doesn’t talk much about it.
Doesn’t talk much at all.
Conquer quietly.
