Taste Your Shabbos Before It Begins
טועמיה חיים זכו
We say this during musaf
Before attaining נשמה יתירה
And it refers to erev Shabbos activity
Tosefes Shabbos is before and after
Not during Shabbos
Yosef HaTzadik ordained musaf
Before the Jews received Shabbos
Floating into the kitchen looking for a snack
Does not yield טועמיה
The Luchos Aren't Rounded
Neither is a human heart
Why does the world pretend otherwise?
Facts are finite
And constricting
In the beginning
Thank God for emuna
Hashem’s Nefesh
On Shabbos kodesh
Stone becomes flesh
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.
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.
