Thank you for your kind words

I try to quote which seforim I got these concepts from -but just to know that anything that is powerful in its truth did not come from me-it comes from the many seforim that I came across & may the zechus be attributable to the great authors of these seforim

Yes i know . Its from the Divre Yisrael of "Apritasz " ? Dont know how to say it.
Still its very beautiful and you were the Shaliach Mitzva to share it with us . KUTGW !

Gut Voch My friends (Dvar Torah - Toldos)

ובגלל כן יתכן צדיק כזה שאנשים אפילו קרובים אליו אינם מחזיקים אותו לאיש בעל קומה כי הם היו דבוקים עם אביו והוא הבן יש לו דרך אחרת. 'שר כח גדול , יחידה

very true

sometimes indeed the son is not in the same caliber as the father-however, the difference in their style & unique type of way in serving God is NOT a factor one way or the other

Subways
A world beneath
The feet of Man

Sea
A vast world hidden
From the naked eye

What incredible immense Worlds
Lie beneath
The surface of Man

7

Feel the darkness
But always
Seek the light

9

(dentist-cleaning)

Teeth cleaning
Minor work needed
Grateful to God
For healthy teeth
& for His wisdom
Given to Man
To heal teeth
As He is the sole Healer




10

Become a giving person
By simply giving
Start with the small coins
Small acts
Constantly repeated
Exercising the physical “muscles”
Of giving
Which in turn strengthens
The soul- giving capacity
That is deep within
From potentiality to actuality


2

Remember
Not to take for granted
Basic functions
Of body & brain
Walking
Coordination
Math functions
Logic, emotions
Even in its most simple form
Are beautiful gifts
From above

3

Even from the smallest ant
We see the greatest brilliance & honor
Of the Creator
Of the Universe

4

Torah is Infinite
Beyond comprehension
How Infinite
Relates to Man
Through finite boundries
How
Finite & Infinite
Are somehow One
How we touch upon the Divine
Despite
Our inherent limitations!!!

Gut Voch my friends!!! Torah # 25 (Vayatzai) (Dvar Torah attached & Poems)

Appreciating
A warm drink
Soothing a sore throat
& a cold

Feeling a degree of comfort
In the soul
As well




7
Just because us humans
Don’t see
Movement or feeling
In the inanimate
Does not mean
It’s not there

How the walls
Of the gas chamber
Screaming & crying
Together with the precious souls within
& the walls of
A house of Chessed
Sings songs of joy

We don’t see any of this
But there is life force
In the inanimate
Giving it life & existence
& thus bears witness
To what us humans do

9

The Life of a simple Jew
With his struggles
& triumphs
Is the real “Superbowl”
No one “seems” to be watching
But that’s where all
The real action is
The simple Jew
Allowing goodness to shine
Within him
Receiving a lot more than cheers
& a trophy
The good & beauty & joy
That awaits him
Is beyond description
We are all waiting for Moshiach
The completion & victory
Of the
Real “Superbowl”


1

Silence
Is an Art
Not just “non-speech”

It
Can be
A harmful weapon
Or healing balm

It’s
Certainly not passive
Though it may seem so
On the surface

2

Snow creates
Visible evidence
Of the comings & goings
Of men & animals
Otherwise invisible
To the naked eyes


3

Great leaders
Have hearts
Of great understanding
& compassion
For even the lowest levels
Of whom they lead
( & love!!!-yes that’s the way!!)


5


7

Please God
Listen to my prayers
Even when
My words aren’t clear

Please help me
Even with what
I have difficulty articulating
What is in my heart


Sometimes
My heart screams louder
Than my voice



1

Holy Books
Even secular books
Containing sparks
Of Divine light
Sent to me by God
With compassion
To teach me & guide me
So as to teach & guide others

The books themselves
I can’t take with me
After I leave this world
But the light within them
Will stay with me forever



3

Sovereignty
Of God
Is to return
All diversity
Back to His Unity

4

Walking through Prospect Park
I realize
What a beautiful world
God created

If Man
Would have utilized
All his free-will & intelligence
Towards beauty, goodness
Kindness, compassion
What would the world
Look like today?

8 Poems


1

Many joys
Were born
From deep pain
-making the joy
Deeper still

Tears of sadness
Become
Tears of happiness

Bitter herb
Is sweetened
By gratefulness
As light
Born from darkness
Illuminates
My soul


To reap
With joy
One sows with tears
-may the tears of sowing
Be hopeful tears
Yearning towards
The joy that will
Surely come

2

(Shabbos Candle Lighting)

From a single candle light
One can draw
Infinite light
Nothing diminished
From the original source
We see the Infinite’
Shabbos!!!

3

Godliness
Is just as real
Whether revealed
Or concealed

4

(Shabbos)

Inner Point-
Six days
Circles
Around the point

Shabbos!!

Heart of the week
The nucleus
From which all weekdays are sustained

As long as one circles
The center of life-Shabbos!!!
There is hope
To connect
To that point

5

Giving & unselfish Receiving
Is the integral ingredient
Of marital relations

6

Just as the sperm
Originating
In the mind of the male
Enters the body of the female
To conceive & produce offspring
So too
Real advice
Which originates in the mind of the giver
Enters into the receiver’s mind
To conceive & produce
Offspring

(ie the advice
Has long lasting effects
On subsequent generations)

7

(Chanuka)

When Aharon The High Priest
Lit the Menorah
He perceived
The light of our souls
We gaze at the Chanuka light
Sensing the Beauty
Of the Shechinah-Divine Presence
Shining back at us
We kindle the flame
& as a gift
It kindles our soul
Binding it
To all of our nation
In every generation
The light of Moshiach
Within
The Chanuka light
In our soul

8

Feeling far from Him
The lonely pain of it
Draws us near to Him

Honest awareness
Of our painful distance
Brings us close

2 Poems , both pertaining to today...

1

( 8-10 Teves)

3 Dark Days
Hidden light
Coming forth
In our time
Close to the End of Days
Feeling it’s light
Even now-
As we faithfully cling to Him
Whom all is Light

Just as these days
Were the harshest
Being the “start” of destruction
So too
We sense the spark
Of the “start”
Of Redemption

Day 1
8 Teves
Bringing Truth
Not distortions
Of our pure Torah
To the World

Day 2
9 Teves
Revealing the light
Of Ezra
Purity
Of our lineage & destiny

Day 3
10 Teves
Spark of Redemption
Encircling our
Heart of Hearts
Jerusalem
Piercing the walls & barriers
Opening up
Floodgates of Holiness
Upon us all!!!

2

(New Year)

Not Drunk
Not Wild

Compare
Our New Year
To theirs!!!

Yet
Lessons can be learnt
Even from
Arbitrary calculations
As they affect us

Every Day
A Mini-Renewal
No reason why
This “new year”
Cant be one too…

To look back at
Our own true new year
Rosh Hashana
See where we are at
In our practical commitment
To our Creator

Resolutions reviewed
Failures assessed
Broken heart
Asking God
For forgiveness
Giving us strength
To correct wrongs
Begin anew
Leading to true joy

Emulating Him
Who brought Creation
From the Potential
To the Actual
Gifting us
To be “like” Him
To create & mold
Priceless potential
Into actual reality

May we use this gift wisely!!!!
