The Arizal Left Our World

The Arizal Left Our World

Disappointed

Like the Beis Hamikdash

His prize talmid ignored the rules

And machlokes torpedoed his chabura

Like the Beis Hamikdash

Moments before leaving he said

Had even one of his group

Been a complete tzaddik

He wouldn’t have to die prematurely

Whoever wants the Beis Hamikdash

Until Moshiach Is Born

Until Moshiach Is Born

At Mincha time of Tisha Bav

Our נחמה Is Chanuka

נר חנוכה מצוה להניחה בתוך עשרה

Anywhere within ten?

Mekubalim say at seven

Halacha says above three

Why the ambiguity?

Twenty one days of בין המצרים

Bemoaning the churban

Bring us to thank Hashem for it

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.
