Delight in Commandments

Key Takeaways

Humility, simplicity, sincerity, and faith are foundational to serving God, according to Rabbi Nachman.

Performing a mitzvah with joy (Simcha) connects a person to the infinite, transcending personal limitations.

Tefillin represents connection, speech, and the binding of wisdom through fear of God; wearing Tefillin is likened to activating a spiritual antenna.

Three Parts Of Reality

Three Parts Of Reality

עולם שנה נפש

Each one has a heart

Shavuos is the heart of the year

The heart dare not sleep

Rabbi Shimon didn’t sleep

And guarantees a year of life

Depending on tonight’s blood pressure

Say the right tikun - syastolic

Don’t sleep at all - dystolic

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.
