The Jews Ate המן For Forty Years

The Jews Ate המן For Forty Years

That’s what it says at the end of parshas Haman

Why is this important enough to be mentioned in a posuk?

The Meraglim said the land of Israel consumes it’s inhabitants

They spoke אמת?

The Meraglim corrupted their vision with their words

Yaakov Avinu and Esther HaMalka

Yaakov Avinu and Esther HaMalka

Both impervious to Haman

הצילני נא מיד אחי

הצילה מכלב נפשי

Yaakov died, but not really

Esther was violated, according to Bavli

But not אליבא דאמת

Haman is still the slander master

But אמת snakeproofs

Eternalizes

ודובר אמת בלבבו

Unless the Meraglim break our heart

לא רגל על לשונו

Yeshivas Rashbi

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.

Stealth Kollel

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.
