Website updates

I made a couple of updates to our website today:

  • I moved all of our audio recordings from Google Drive to our new website hosting provider, called Ionos. This was done mostly for cost savings.
  • I upgraded to a new audio player, called FV Player, which works better, is more reliable, and has more features. I turned on three new features thus far: (1) it will remember where you stopped listening and will automatically continue playback from there; (2) there are new buttons to easily rewind or fast-forward by 10 seconds; and (3) there is a new payback speed setting so you can slow it down or speed it up,

Our website should still look and feel just like before. If you run into any issues, please let me know.

Cheers,
-Yehuda

Kohanim Get Special Treatment

Kohanim Get Special Treatment

דברים שבקדושה and tzoraas cases

Obviously distinguished

Beyond the Beis Hamikdash

The mitzora must be seen

In person

The Kohen’s eyes

And his words

Govern the state

Of tzoraas

How does וקדשתו grant

The Kohen this authority ?

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.
