The Worst Night In History

The Worst Night In History

Was in chodesh Av

The month of שמיעה

בכיה של חנם

Triggered by לשון הרע

We’re obligated to verbally acknowledge

Would make sense

To focus on the Meraglim event

Not מעשה מרים

Meraglim was a national disaster

Miriam an individual's mistake

Message In A Bottle

Message In A Bottle

Abba’s found new love

Varies in shape and size

Mommy upped and ran away

Repulsed by blood red eyes

Abba, why you sleeping?

We hope you’re still a dreamer

Once upon a time

Your eyes were wide

The galaxy your oyster

Abba's found new love

Forbidden by Hashem

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.
