Parashat Hashavua
It's because no one in the world knows the REAL Jews!
I prayed in Jerusalem this morning after which a lecture on the portion was given – by one of the teachers in the GREAT SYNAGOGUE (who by-the-way donated a kidney recently - an amazing act of mercy - and faith).
The haftaras and the double portion he explained – in brief – discuss some of the approximately 180 MITZVAS of the Torah RELATED TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL (out of 613 in total).
Rabbi Hirschler pointed out this morning that "it's ALL about trusting in the Almighty".
Here is something he taught from these Portions – about the Holiness of the land.

Portion Emor – the week a Pregnant Woman was Murdered
Why? So as not to be saddened and thus not perform their duties in the Holy Temple –
On holidays one is allowed to cook (even for guests) – not on Shabbat.
So the portion says: "6 Days you should work – and on the 7th Day – Rest and Refresh".
And the answer is: 6 days of the major Jewish holidays
PASSOVER SUKKOT ROSHHASHONO 2days each -
– cook – but on the 7th holiday –
is Lag B'Omer ? The Day of Passing of the great Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai –
Student or Rabbi Akiva
And it is the day that G-d – through his work ZOHAR (meaning SHINING) gave us the secrets of the Torah.
You know what the secret is? The secret is something that fills your heart so much,
it fills you with longing and it fills you with depth.
A secret is like a little bit of light beyond vessels.
Reb Zadok HaCohen says, "How do you know how much somebody loves you? When somebody loves you, they want to tell you all their secrets."
You know what level Rabbi Shimon gave us for Lag B'Omer? He gives us the deepest depths;
how much the Torah loves us and how much we need to love the Torah.

The riches were greater than the wealth they took from Mitzrayim.

All "the gates" are blown open wide physically and spiritually. You can pray for anything and for everyone. No limits.

Portion VaYakhel Para and almost Passover - àre you Kìdding? AND Thank you JBrodt and Stuie and Moshe
The Portion describes the building of a portable temple in the desert (which actually was used in Sinai 40 years plus 390 years in Israel
Are they kidding – a "temporary Temple" – for 430 years?
Yesterday 4AM we had another wake-up alarm because of a missile from the Hooties
(Little kids crying – but like a Rabbi friend said – he jumped up and got his 3 little kids quickly into his "safe room"... .
and in the afternoon 3 rockets from Gaza again.
Are they all kidding?
I think Dante would have described a special place in his "Inferno" for them if he were writing today.
Meanwhile in the Talmud this week are stories
Like how King David was saved from Goliath's brother who attempted TO GET HIS REVENGE
Oh well – there are no more Philistines – just other people who are brought up to hate Jews
So here's a little Torah my friends heard from Rabbi Carlebach
They love each other;
Lord, you can see it's true""
When Everything Fits: The Mishkan, its tent, and its cover. (Sh’mos 35:11))
When you love someone in proportion, you are constantly measuring if you are good or bad. When I love someone beyond proportion, I blow my mind over every little thing you do.
You might think you’re a bad Jew, but if you tell me that one time in your life you fasted on Yom Kippur…I can't believe it, I blow my mind over it.
When you hear your child making a b’racha (blessing), is it in proportion or beyond proportion? It blows your mind.
The Holy Temple was destroyed because we only loved each other in proportion. Nothing blew our minds. Do you know why?
We forgot how we built the Mishkan - our Tabernacle - in the desert.
Why is it that when they built the Mishkan everything fit?
Hundreds of people were working on the Mishkan and suddenly it all got together.
How so? So the Ishbitzer (Rebbe) says that the Yiddele who was building the Kodesh Kodashim, (the Holy of Holies), was thinking “Gevalt, I wish I would be as holy as the Yiddele who was putting nails in the chatzer, (the courtyard).”
The Yiddele who was putting nails in the chatzer was saying “Ribbono shel Olam, I know I don't even deserve the chatzer, but gevalt, I wish I was as holy as the Yiddele who is building the Kodesh Kodashim.” Every Yiddele was blowing his mind over what the other Yiddele was doing.
I want you to open your hearts in the deepest way.
Everyone has something very holy about them, but it's covered. It's hidden.
Reb Nosson (of Breslov fame) teaches that when it came to the building of the Mishkan, every Yiddele brought this one nekudah tovah – good point - that they had. Moshe Rabbeinu had all the nekudos tovos - good points - and built the Mishkan with it.
So you see, the Mishkan was built from those little points, those little things.
…
May we all merit to take part in the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, and May it be now!
Good Shabbos!

" pagan worship", which is really a bad English translation, means worship which is strange to me, which doesn’t fit me,
but if I can be a million times higher and I’m less than that, then I’m a pagan because this highness is what G-d wanted.
I don’t know about you, but sadly enough, I’m a pagan, because I could be a zillion miles higher. So when do we get rid of paganism??
On Seder night.
Everybody knows that the essence of Seder night is that G-d will reveal Himself to me.

Moshe Rabbenu calls for a holy gathering to talk about Vitamin S, Shabbos,
the strongest vitamin in Hashem’s treasure house that wipes out all paganism…
a day of peace and harmony between ourselves and with Hashem (which is)
In contrast to …when the people gathered on Aharon like a disorderly mob and demanded an idol under the threat of death!.
Esther also neutralized the threat of death by gathering )
Klal Yisrael 's "total" energy to bring about a great (repentance)...
She “gathered” the people to eliminate the destructive forces that Haman was trying to put into play.
(and her plan) All happened Pesach (Passover) which is called "Shabbos"!
Let’s gather together in prayer and song and enter the Aviv (spring) season with renewed Chiyus (life energy). Amen
Shabbat Shalom – and please
Pray with me that all the hostages return safely – and the missiles stop – and the world
This crazy world
Comes together – gathers together – to create Shabbos-like peace and harmony

From CHALONEI ROKEA - Dr Moshe's Synagogue
Deep Torah (in NJ and Jerusalem)- this is the AE interpretation
Are women are obligated this Shabbat to hear the Torah Reading sectio "Parshas Zachor".
(The Torah commandment to Remember (wicked) Amalek)
The Chinuch (an anonymous work written in thirteenth-century Spain that clearly details the 613 commandments)
wrote " this remembering is tied to the wiping out of evil. Since women don’t go to war they are also not obligated to hear the reading in the Torah.
Another commentator wrote "are women just supposed to do their nails and shop?" Of course they are helping with fighting the war by cooking, supplying what’s needed and giving moral support!
In Israel's wars since before 1948 women are also in battle.
Other Rabbis write that in a a war for survival even a bride in her first year must go to war!
We have seen in our present situation that women and men are totally absorbed in the war effort and this is proof positive that all are required to hear, remember, wipe out evil wherever it is confronted.
It is said that the saintly Chasam Sofer 1762-1839 killed a hater of Israel because he felt he was from Amalek..
Reb Elimelech of Lizensk wrote on this Portion (Tetzaveh) – "King David wrote …"your wonders oh Almighty are transferred to us…" – so Reb Eli asks "HOW"?
And he answers – "The Almighty created everything – but all things are connected still to the Almighty. In this Portion Moses is empowered and told to give strength to the people to CARRY ON THE GOOD DEEDS (MITZVOTE) OF CREATION – OF THE ALMIGHTY."
OUR WAR OF SURVVAL IS A COMMANDMENT which we ALL need to participate in!
And from Reb Shlomo Carlebach on Parsha (portion) Tetzaveh (Include Me Out?)
Parshas Tetzaveh, is the one Portion where Moshe Rabainu’s ( Moses) name is omitted from the Torah during his lifetime!... (It is also)
an eternal tribute to Moshe Rabainu… to Moshe Rabainu’s greatness (after the Golden Calf),”
See here my beautiful friends, Moshe Rabainu came down and brought us the Ten Commandments.
When he came down it says that ..., gevalt was he shining like the sun.
…
So here I want you to know something. What did Moshe Rabainu hear in heaven which he really didn't give over to us just yet?...
" So everybody knows that Moshe Rabainu had a (spark), a little part of Noach in him.
what was the problem with brother Noach? When G-d told Noach he would destroy his generation, Noach didn't pray for his generation.
Here comes the tikkun (the spiritual repair); Moshe Rabainu says if you wipe out your people, then wipe me out of your Torah …
" Wipe me out because I'm not going to let another mabul (flood) come and destroy the world. I’m not interested in starting a new world like you did with Noach"
. Moshe Rabainu learned to love the world: Mamash can we learn from Moshe Rabainu how to love.
Good Shabbos
I bless you all with a holy and beautiful Shabbat
