Our Merciful Father - Menachem Av

By obormottel
The Torah informs us that when Hashem punishes us and drives us out of the Land of Israel into exile, leaving us to the mercy of the nations of the world, it is not out of disgust or repulsion, or an attempt to destroy us. It is a method of discipline, as a father discipl...

Not reporting sexual abuse violates the Torah

By GYE Admin
Head of the Rabbinical services organization 'Tzohar,' Rabbi David Stav, criticized on Wednesday rabbis who hush up sexual abuse cases in their communities rather than reporting them to the authorities. "Sexual abuse is physical and psychological damage of the highest or...

The Final Test

By the.guard
Chazal say, מעשה אבות סימן לבנים– "the deeds of our Fathers are a sign for the children". There are so many parallels between the Yidden’s sojourn in the desert and our journey through Galus until the ultimate redemption. The Exodus from Egypt was supposed to lead to ...

The onus is on us.

By obormottel
Bilam understood this very well. When Bilam was not allowed to curse Bnei Yisroel, he advised the Moavim to send out their daughters to entice the Jewish men. "The G-d of the Jews despises immorality. If you can cause them to be nichshal, G-d Himself will punish them for...

The Rebbe's Riddle

By GYE Admin
Question of the Week I see a lot of contradictions in the way the Rebbe is portrayed. He is sometimes described as the founder of Jewish outreach, focusing his energies on bringing lost and ignorant Jews back to the fold. But then when you analyze his writings and ...

Attitude Towards Women

By obormottel
This comment was mentioned on our forum, and a member by the name of "Chl" answered powerfully. He writes: I would like to ask the question the other way round: 1) Where can you find magazines in the open depicting women as meat; on the subway newspaper stand in New Yor...

Speaking to the ‘Rock’

By the.guard
A few questions on the Parsha of מי מריבה, (Chukas: 20): 1.When the Yidden complained that they didn’t have water, they said things like “Halevai we would have died with our brothers… and why did you take us out of Mitzrayim to die, etc…”. This is the same way of speaking...

Don't always "do"; just "be."

By obormottel
Parshas Beha'aloscha describes in great detail how, when the cloud lifted, the Jews would journey, and, when it came down, they would camp. It repeats this again and again. The Nesivos Shalom learns from this a lesson in avodas Hashem: There are times in our lives, whe...

A Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation

By obormottel
At the receiving of the Torah, Hashem said to the Jewish people: “For you are a Kingdom of priests and a Holy Nation”. What does this really mean? The world has 4 basic levels of evolution. The first level is DOMEM – Dirt, Rocks, Water, etc. The second level of evolution ...

Forced to persevere

By obormottel
In the sugya of Matan Torah in Mesichta Shabbos there are (amongst many others) two mamorei Chazal: 1. The Yidden said Naaseh V'Nishman 2. כפה עליהם הר כגגית- the Eibishter held the mountain above the Yidden thereby forcing them to accept the Torah. The question arises if...

From Refraining to Prophesising

By obormottel
The Baal HaTurim [Bamidbar 6:6] says that the reason a Nazir cannot be near a dead body is so that if his Nezirus brings him Ruach HaKodesh, people should not suspect that it is not Ruach HaKodesh, but that he is really communicating with evil spirits through the dead (D...

The True Chametz

By obormottel
The fact that we can't 'beat' lust is a very important lesson. It's incredible how it underpins everything. Someone with an allergy would be very stupid to fight the fact that he has it and still try and eat the peanuts without causing an effect. So too with us. The 'pea...

The Secret to Happiness

By the.guard
Part 1: The Hidden Light of Creation. The pasuk in the beginning of Bereishis says “And G-d saw that the light was good”. Our Sages say that G-d didn’t want the light to fall into the hands of those unworthy and so He hid it for the World to Come (therefore it is ca...

Giving Away our Minds

By obormottel
Reb Chaim Shulevitz asks the obvious question: Why is there an obligation to become intoxicated on Purim? He magnifies his question with the famous Shl"a hakadosh that says Purim in spiritually more elevating than Yom Kippur??? His basic answer (after all his proofs) is ...

G-d will defeat our enemies

By obormottel
It is very important to point out that G-d, Almighty will constantly defeat the enemies of Israel. Parshat Mishpatim could not be clearer on the subject. "I shall send MY FEAR before you and I shall confound the entire people among you shall come; and I shall make all of...

One Forbidden Tree

By the.guard
Mankind has been placed in a literal “Gan Eden” today. Most of us have good wives, beautiful and healthy children, nachas, parnasa, and all the comforts and conveniences of the 21st century. We have bathrooms in our homes, hot and cold running water, heating and air-condi...
