Jews Started Observing Sukkos

Jews Started Observing Sukkos

Only after entering Israel

According to the רמב“ם and the מבי“ט

The Baal HaTanya writes in his Shulchan Aruch

Moshe Rabenu miraculously arranged a mass esrog shipment

To the desert Jews from Italy!

The Rambam doesn’t address the desert dalet minim

The Baal HaTanya doesn’t mention the desert lack of sukka

One Who Experiences Shechina Revelation

One Who Experiences Shechina Revelation

Must remove his shoes

That’s us on Yom Kippur

Like Moshe Rabenu at the burning bush and Har Sinai

Like all who’d enter the Beis Hamikdash

Shabbos is holier than Yom Kippur

Therefore, instead of Shabbos shoes

We should have none

The Zohar says one day

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.
