 Portion VaYayRah and Video from Rabbi Andy 
 
 
 
 
----- Forwarded 
 
"As the sky darkens over Har Hamenuchos (cemetery in Jerusalem)
the songs of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, whose yahrzeit is tonight, fill the air"
 
Listen to the attached 
 
And Wisdoms from Rabbi Shlomo himself:
 
Here I want to share with you an awesome Torah:
 
VaYera Elav Hashem, G-d gave over to Avraham the secret of the holy of holies (of the Temple)
 
So when the angels come to Avraham 
(It says in the portion)
and ask him 'Ayeh Sarah Ishtecha’, where is your wife Sarah?
They mean
Now that G-d revealed to YOU the secret of the holy of holiest, what level is your wife Sarah on?
 
He answers 'Hinei Ba Ohel', 
 
she’s always in the tent...in the holy of holies.
 
 She was there long before me.
 
I bless you and me, we should see the holiness of Mother Sarah and recognize the holiness of all the mothers in the world
 
You know my beautiful friends. Imagine if Avraham and Sarah got married and right away, and they would have had a son,  how would it sound  to you? 
 
It might be Beautiful, but something is missing
 
 because Jewish children are not just born if man and woman get together and decide to have children.
 
I want you to know. The Holy Rebbeg Beis Ya’akov says that Avraham and Sarah prayed
 
 for all the Jewish children to ever come down to the world. Sarah and Avraham already prayed for all generations to come.
 
I wish it would be again like it’s supposed to be.
 
 There’s something so special about holy Jewish families. Gevalt, do they love their children.
 
 I want you to know, parents, real holy parents would go into fire before ever saying anything bad about their children. 
 
And you know friends, for me an assimilated Jew is not someone who eats a hamburger on Yom Kippur. I don’t say that’s the right thing to do, but I wouldn’t say that it shows his neshama (soul) is gone too far.
 
 When I see parents who don’t care for their children, oy vey are they far from Yiddishkeit. Gevalt, are they far from Avraham and Sarah
 
Good Shabbos!
 
From Rav Shlomo 
 
And from Rabbi A:
 
How far the world must be
 
 from understanding this Rabbi's Yarzeit
 
And the Rabbi - called in Israel the Bal HaHilulah -  Rabbi Shlomo
 
 
Shabbat Shalom 
Rabbi Andy Eichenholz
