Happy Birthday Aharon HaKohen

Happy Birthday Aharon HaKohen

Not long ago, Jews would chant “Halleluya” 123 times during Hallel.

Chazal say this corresponds to the 123 years of Aharon’s life.

The Rambam brings this l’halacha.

Why is Aharon given this Hallel distinction more than any other tzaddik?

Shabbos Shalom!

Noam Elimelech Mattos Masei

וידבר משה אל ראשי המטות לבני ישראל. דהנה הצדיק הרוצה להמשיך השפעות על ישראל צריך לחבר עמו שאר צדיקים, שע"י הדיבור המדבר עמהם הוא משפיע לכל ישראל, והם המסייעים אותו אל הטוב ההוא להסתים פי המקטרג מעליו בזכות הרבים, משא"כ כשהוא לבדו צריך כח גדול ויד חזקה להשקיט המקטרג לבל ישלוט בו. וזהו שאמר משה

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.
