The learning for this week’s shiur, Vayeilech &more,  learning should be a zechus for the speedy redemption of:Sholom Mordechai ben Rivka (Rubashkin).Please remember him in your tefillos. Guys please share! The Supreme court will IYH look over appeals on September 24th (day before yom kippur) and decide which cases they will review.�

The supreme court receives 10,000 cases a year, but only reviews 75-80 of them! It’s up to us to spread the case to the whole world (or at least to people we know).�

Asking Forgiveness <- click here for orig. link!

For on this day [Yom Kippur] He shall effect atonement for you to cleanse you. Before G‑d, you shall be cleansed from all your sins—Leviticus16:30. On Yom Kippur, G‑d mercifully erases all the sins we have committed “before G‑d”—but not the sins we may have committed against our fellow man. If we really want to come out of this holy day completely clean, we need to first approach any individual whom we may have wronged and beg their forgiveness. This applies whether the offense was physical, emotional, or financial (in which case, seeking forgiveness is in addition to making appropriate monetary restitution). Just as the offending individual is enjoined to sincerely seek forgiveness, so, too, the victim is expected to wholeheartedly forgive—provided he is assured that the plea for forgiveness is indeed sincere. More Details: It is proper to specify the wrongdoing for which you are seeking forgiveness—unless doing so would cause further embarrassment to the victim. If the injured party refuses to grant forgiveness, the offender should try approaching him several times, each time in the company of a few friends (who can try to convince the victim of the sincerity of the offender’s intentions). If the individual whom you have wronged has since passed away, and the gravesite is in the vicinity, take a minyan to the gravesite and beg forgiveness there. If the gravesite is not in the vicinity, you can appoint someone to go to the grave together with a minyan to ask for forgiveness on your behalf.

Fiddler Raises the Roof

Daniel Ahaviel is one of the Jewish world’s top fiddlers; he’s also our dear friend and spiritual brother. He’s the one who plays the violin on our Judean Dream album. There’s no one who can fiddle and dance like he can. Daniel lives and breathes the joy of serving Hashem. Rebbe Nachman teaches that you can’t make teshuva if you’re not happy, so we need to put smiles on our face before Yom Kippur, and not be sullen like some folks think. And by the way, Yiddishkeit is cool…  

When the prophet noticed the Children of Israel deviating too far from their roots, he urged us, “Return Israel to Hashem, your G-d… return to Hashem” [1]. Why did the prophet see to repeat the fact that we must return to Hashem? In addition, why emphasise that it is Israel who must return: obviously if they are the ones who were sinning it is they that must repent?!

Furthermore, a significant part of the repentance prayers [2] seems to involve expressing that the complete repentance programme is too cumbersome! Are we trying to make things worse for ourselves?!

Amongst the many who were affected by the Tsumani disaster, was a South African Jewish family. The husband was out at sea at the time, whilst his wife, baby and maid were on the beach. The maid was the first to spot the gigantic Tsunami wave and unsuccessfully attempted to attract her employer’s attention. It was too late. He watched helplessly as his family was washed away, whilst he himself managed to grab onto a tree as he was washed ashore.

In the meantime his wife and maid were pressed up against the side of a tall building. They were up to their necks in water and the mother became frantic – she had lost hold of her baby!

In the meantime the maid felt something brush against her leg from the side. Instinctively she picked up this ‘thing’ – it was the baby!

G-d is our Heavenly parent. He wants us – his baby – to return to Him.

This is what the prophet is coming to emphasise:

It is not just about ‘returning to G-d’, but rather that we – the sons of Israel – the children of G-d, return to our Father in heaven.

We do not just simply return to G-d for our own benefit, but rather because just like a parent desires their child to ‘return’ to them, so too our Heavenly Father desires and helps us return to Him. The repentance programme of contemplation, removing oneself from sin, regret and acceptance to improve in the future might all seem daunting, or even ‘against all odds’. But so might reading, writing, walking for the first time or learning how to ride a bike. As long as our teachers want us to learn, then we can indeed succeed to great heights. And so we must remember that it is our Heavenly Father that we are talking about who wants us to return to Him! All we have to do is express our desire to return to Him, appreciate that we will need His help and take the first few steps to return to HimimHimH.

Have by father best Shabbos,

Knuckle Bumping[i] from Gutman locks 

     When I told this Israeli to talk to G-d, he “smacked” his knuckles against the sky as if he was “knuckle bumping” Hashem! I thought that I had seen everything, but this one cracked me up.

What Are You Supposed to Think?

     What are you supposed to think when you see a Jew who looks like this? “Weirdo! Ha! Ha! I wonder where he has been? Oh Boy! Look at that!” …and on and on.

     But you know what? We all have looked like we needed help at sometime in our 

lives. And you know what else? If you will extend yourself, and help even the strangest cases, G-d is going to extend Himself, and help even you. [i] A recent fad type of handshake!

Rabbi Sitorsky of Bayswater’s weekly Torah shiur (available on this site in MP3 format) is an advanced level discussion on the weekly Torah parsha. The Rav goes deeper into the Torah parsha covering key topics and connecting and relating them to the calendar and their significance to us. He weaves his unique shiurim with an eclectic array of sources including Gemara, Rishonim, Achronim and Sifrei Kabbala. If you enjoy these MP3 Torah parsha shiurim, please tell a friend about this site.The learning for this week’s shiur, Vayechi, (latest shiur is updated weekly), lick here to be automatically emailed when new MP3s are uploaded.), is to merit the redemption of:

Sholom Mordechai ben Rivka (Rubashkin).

Please remember him in your tefillos.

Every Day… From Gutman Locks!

Every day, every minute… almost non-stop, the stories fly by. There are way too many to send them all out to you, but they are all so important to the people whose stories they are. It seems that they should be heard.

One after the other…,

I helped this nice American family put on tefillin. I spent time with them, mostly to educate the grandchildren regarding marrying only Jewish girls.

Three of the sons married Jewish girls and have Jewish families. But one of the sons married a Catholic girl who goes to church and, according to the brother who married her, she worships statues! How can it be? It is one family… four brothers… but this brother’s wife and children are not Jewish, and even though none of the families are religious now, his life is so very different than his brothers’ lives. He has, without giving it any real thought, pulled himself away from his siblings, most likely forever. How does it happen? One Grandfather… four sons… all nice Jewish people.

Next, this young Jew from Argentina cried to me, “I want to do t’shuvah”(repent & follow the Torah’s teachings). I said, “You mean that you want to come home.” Although the word t’shuvah means return, for him it meant to repent and to stop sinning. But I wanted to impress upon him that he was returning to the place that he started from, his natural spiritual home.

The soul comes into this world as a holy soul. It is only when the soul allows the animal aspect to rule, that uncleanliness covers and hides the holiness of the soul. So, returning to righteousness is really returning to your original place, your home.

Next, a little boy helped his father to read the Shema. They are from Georgia (USA). The father sends the boy to Torah lessons once a week, so the boy knows more Hebrew than he does. Even though he is not at all religious, he loves his son very much and wants to be sure that his family stays Jewish.

Next, three America brothers and their children pray for their families…. Look at their faces, and you can see that each has his own loves and needs.

Then, I saw this little boy davening (praying) so intently, and I wondered, “How different life is when you are born into a Torah observant family!”

 

       Everyone has a story. Everyone is coming from somewhere, and everyone is going somewhere. Each of these stories is a journey, and each journey is immensely important. Every story is a life.
The Treasures of Teves 

The Baal Shem Tov taught the following:
This world is filled with sparks of holiness that have fallen. In very low places or times, there lie buried sparks that have fallen from very high realms. This is because the higher the place an item falls from, the deeper it will plummet.
When we serve Hashem in a specific place, time, and with specific items, we release the sparks trapped in that time, place and item and they are redeemed and return to their origin.

The days of Teves are very low; they are days of the destruction of the Temple. Therefore, they contain sparks of holiness that have fallen from the highest realms.
It is very difficult to serve Hashem in these days; there is a sluggish feeling and it is difficult to conjure up the energy necessary to pray or learn Torah properly. However, one should not make the mistake of surrendering to his lethargy.
As difficult as it is to serve Hashem, that is how important it is that we do so – because it is in the lowly days of Teves that holy sparks, fallen from the loftiest realms, are trapped.
Our service of Hashem – specifically in Teves when it is not easy – will free these sparks and they will be elevated back to their origin.

He Wouldn’t Listen

We all tried, but he wouldn’t listen. He was a young American who is studying history in Switzerland. He came to the Kotel with two friends. We got his friends to put on tefillin, one of them for the first time in his life, but he wouldn’t do it. His friends had a great time, and they even tried to convince him to put them on, too, but he refused. I tried everything, but he had a deep-seated problem that kept him from putting them on.

Just then, an America Chassid walked by, (picture)below )and he tried. He told him that he is an insurance examiner, and that one day he went to the president of Mercedes of all America, and when he went to his office the secretary told him that he had to wait…the president was busy. But then, the president called out from his inner office and told her to let the man in.

He was amazed to see the president of Mercedes sitting there with wearing tefillin! He was davening (praying) and the secretary knew not to disturb him, but a Chassidic visitor was welcome to go in.

Still, he would not put on tefillin. He wasn’t even moved.

One of the Chassidic boys who helps out, tried, and he even begged him saying, “Do me a favor. Do it for my sake.”

He refused.

Then with a bit of anger in his voice he told me what his problem was, “You do not believe that all people are equal!”

“That’s right,” I agreed with him. “Black people are better basketball players, at least there are a larger than proportional share on them on the professional basketball teams.”

“Ha!” he grunted at me, “So you think that basketball skills are genetic?”

“I don’t know about basketball skills being genetic, but tallness sure seems to be.”

He wasn’t satisfied with my answer. I tried to explain, “We are all one, but we are not all the same. It’s like the organs in your body…each organ is extremely important, but none of them are the same. Different people in the world have different skills, and different roles to match those skills. Apparently, blacks are better at playing basketball, and Jews are better at winning Noble Prizes.”

It didn’t help. The fact that he didn’t walk away showed that really he was interested, and that he wanted to be convinced. He was an almost radical liberal trying to make his “all things are equal” philosophy work. He was studying history and wanted to have an “overall objective” view. But the truth is that he was throwing away reality.

“You are studying history,” I told him. “When you go to a new place, you don’t tell them what their history is, you try to learn from them. You should be coming here open and inquiring, not refusing.”

It did not faze him, not in the least. His attitude was so unfitting for his field of study. He should have at least been inquisitive.

I told him, “You know why I want you to put on tefillin?… Because I know that Jews who refuse to put on tefillin most likely do not care if they marry a Jew or not. And I want the Jewish people to survive. Would you marry only a Jew,” I asked.

He said, “That’s not important.”

So that seems to be the bottom line…do we survive as a thriving people, or do we end up being a mere remnant in a history book?

The truth is, G-d has promised us that we will be redeemed, and that we will inherit our land. We know this will, and in fact, is happening right now. So really the question is not, will the Jewish people will survive. It is certain that we are going to survive. The question is, will your family be counted among us?

Deep ideas for Chanukah! Live inspired!

Please read update on details-of-london-trip-thursday-until-monday/

Please daven for Maia Shani Chaya bat Sorah thanks. And thanks to Shmuel Diamond for a great pic!

So we are getting ready Chanukah and Kislev is the inner/pinimius torah lighting up the darkness, every year the golus gets darker and darker! However, the light needs to be bigger to keep the balance! This is our job to look deep within every struggle and draw from our inner light like a menorah drawing on the oil with a little wick! This shines the light of Moshiach in to the whole world and will bring our redeemer bkrov, speedily in our days ! amen,

Chanukah is the Fiftieth Level of Holines
The physical world is comprised of seven dimensions. Seven times seven is forty nine.
The eighth corresponds to the fiftieth. Eight/fifty are numbers which represents sublime
heavenly spheres.
The essence of Chanukah is eight/fifty. It has eight days and the miracle of Chanukah
took place with שמן, oil. The word שמן is similar to the number שמונה, eight.
Reading about the Tefillin of Yaakov in Parshas Vayetzei, the first Shabbos in Kislev,
is a preparation for Chanukah. They are both from the fiftieth level of holiness.
The twenty fifth day of Kislev, when Chanukah begins, corresponds to the twenty five
letters of Shema, the ultimate declaration of Emunah that is placed into the Tefillin.
חנכה נר is gematria צפון הבעל, (they both equal 333). With the power of Emunah of
Chanukah, the kelipah of the idol ‘Baal Tzefon’, the representation of the fiftieth level of
tumah, which is atheism, is broken.
May we merit preparing properly for Chanukah, by submitting ourselves with self
sacrifice to the sovereignty of Hashem, as the Chashmonaim in the time of Chanukah did,
and thereby merit,
אור חדש על ציון תאיר ונזכה כלנו יחד במהרה לאורו

Fact is that I am trying to live by that with my clients.
I resolve the problems or perceived problems that companies have
So my approach is to give them an approach where they realise that it is only perceived darkness and that in essence they just have to reveal the greatness that is alreaqday there…ie the light
: Kind of like using their capabilities and enhancing their processes, which is like doing more mitzvos and drawing more Ohr into the Kav
By getting better at what they already do and having the right discipline and structure, they can be the best thing possible.
Every human can achieve so much, its just a matter of tapping in.
Moshiach now!!!!The month of geula is here!

Elevating Jewish Souls on Chanukah

The Shechina, Divine Presence, never descends beneath ten handbreadths. The only exception is on Chanukah when we specifically light the candles under the usual boundary of ten handbreadths.
A Jewish Soul is compared to a candle. When we kindle the Chanukah lights in a low place, the souls of Jews that lie in the depth are lit up.

However, we won’t suffice with lighting up their souls and leaving them to glow in the dark. We will raise them back into holiness.

The Halacha is that on Friday we light the Chanukah candles before the kindling of the Shabbos candles. The Arizal states that the reason we light in this order, is so that the souls we illuminate with the Chanukah lights in the depth, should be uplifted into the sphere of Shabbos with the lighting of the Shabbos candles. We first ignite these Jewish souls, and then lift them back into holiness.
The flame of Chanukah is sublimely lifted and fuses with the flame of Shabbos. http://www.emunas.com/audio/E_Chanukah/01-02_Chanukah_E.mp3

Nyet, Nyet, Nikavo! thanks Lazer Schmitdt Lazer Brody
Today, we’ll learn a lesson in Russian:

Nyet nyet nikavo krome yivo adnavo. Translated, this means, “No, no, there is no one other than Hashem – His Name is One.”

With the ink barely dried on my weekly column at Breslev Israel, Salvation Month, and once again Hashem is fighting our battles for us, causing an awesome explosion in Iran’s nuclear facilities at Isfahan, only 2 weeks after Hashem blew an Iranian missile depot sky high. If that’s not enough, only 5 days ago, a Hizbulla stronghold in southern Lebanon was rocked by a tremendous blast. Hashem’s fingerprints are all over the place. Shouldn’t we all be saying “Thank You” and praising Hashem’s Name? The month of Chanuka is the perfect time for expressing our gratitude, and gratitude invokes even more miracles!

I miss the Lubavitcher Rebbe – he knew how to praise Hashem. Let’s watch him sing “Nyet Nyet Nikavo” also during the month of Kislev, 5747 (December 1986):

Freedom with Gilad~Goodpoints!

Thank G-d! We prayed and Prayed! see shyne-and-rebbe-wants-us-to-free-gilad-shalit also please pray for my daughter Tehilah Rivkah bas Masha @pray-for-my-daughter

The name Gilad is all about focusing on the good ! To reveal the good inside! This is the spark of the Tzaddick/Essential good that exists in us all just like Yosef HatZaddick who visited us the same day of Gilad’s release ! At Sukkot we have 7 visitors, and Yosef Hatzaddick is the 6th visitor, on the 6th day, representing Yesod and the truth of our peoples intrinsic holiness no matter what! These pictures and videos here with our goal is to reveal this point/”Ad” in Hebrew is Ayin Daled the big letters in the Shemah! Aid = the witness to the Unity! That our nation is One and with Determination like Gilad’s father and all our prayers we can accomplish everything!

I remember meeting him with Shyne and telling Gilad’s father how beautiful his sons name is , and all i could see is he wanted him free no matter what! and Hashem helped!

Rabbi Shlomo Price was emailed this amazing Hashgocho/Divine providence story and am spreading the wealth. As his Rebbe once saw a sign, “Don’t keep  the faith, spread it around!”

“This is the kind of story that you read about in books or hear from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard from a friend etc. I heard this story at the Kotel on Simchat Torah and thought it was too fantastic to be true… until I met the Shliach whose story it is in Shul this morning and heard it again first hand. I’m recounting this to the best of my knowledge… I hope you’ll forgive me if I get any of the details wrong…

Rabbi and Rebbetzen Eliyahu and Chana Canterman are the Chabad Shluchim in Talbiyeh, Jerusalem. They live around the corner from my family’s apartment and the Rebbetzen is a cousin of my Rabbi’s wife back in Manchester, England. I first met them about three years ago when they set up their Chabad house. I went to help make a Minyan in their apartment for a member of their community who needed to say Kaddish. They struck me then as typical Chabad Shluchim, with a home that was open to all, and always willing to go that extra mile for another Jew regardless of the inconvenience caused to themselves.

When they founded their Chabad House, one of the projects that the Cantermans took on, along with other Chabad Shluchim and local organisations, was to provide meals each day to the parents of Gilad Shalit, Aviva and Noam, at the protest tents outside the Prime Minister’s residence on the border of Talbiyeh & Rechavia. Naturally, they became close friends with Aviva and Noam, providing not only food but emotional and pyschological support during this time.

Around Purim time last year, Chana Canterman brought a special gift to Aviva Shalit along with her meal: a dollar that she had received many years before from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that was to be given to a worthy charity. “Take this dollar” said Chana, “and may it be a Segulah (merit) that Gilad be released this year”. Aviva accepted the dollar gratefully and carried it with her wherever she went.

Rebbetzen Canterman didn’t hear anything more about the dollar until she received a text from Aviva Shalit last Wednesday, the 19th of October (the 21st of Tishrei), the day after her son, Gilad, had come home. In the text, Aviva asked Rebbetzen Canterman if she remembered when she had received the dollar from the Rebbe. Unsure, the Rebbetzen replied that she didn’t remember exactly when she had received it as it was over twenty years before, but that, as with all dollars given by the Rebbe to be distributed to charity, the date should be written on the dollar itself.

The date on the dollar that the Rebbetzen gave to Aviva Shalit before Purim, the dollar that she had received over twenty years before from the Lubavitcher Rebbe was Chaf (the twentieth of) Tishrei, the date that Gilad Shalit came home to his family and his people.

Hope you all get as much from the above as I did… I know for a fact that the Rabbi and Rebbetzen aren’t publicising this story themselves as they don’t want people to think their motives for helping the Shalits were anything other than altruistic, however, I feel that it’s too amazing, too inspiring a story to keep from other people.

Two worlds meet and are truly one!
