SF - The Uniqueness of the First Commandment \ Maharal M'Prague

Monday \ April 30 , 2018 \ 15 Iyar, 5778

The Uniqueness of the First Commandment  \ Maharal M'Prague  D'var Torah: "I am the Lo-rd Your G-d, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." The first of the Ten Commandments is a statement of fact that HaShem exists. Since it does not charge us with a specific directive, like, "You shall believe in HaShem," how do we fulfill this commandment? In contrast to all the other Mitzvot, the First Commandment is not dependent on our free choice. For instance, the fulfillment of the Mitzvah to observe Shabbat is dependent on man's free choice to either comply or defy the Mitzvah. However, the truth of HaShem's existence, His Almighty power, and His dedication to the People of Israel, is not dependent upon our compliance with the Mitzvah to believe in HaShem.  Moral: HaShem, the Creator of the universe, Who brought us out of the land of Egypt, exists eternally, independent of our belief in Him.   Application: Reflect on the verse, "I am the Lo-rd Your G-d, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." Strengthen your belief and faith in HaShem, the Go-d of Israel. Sharpen your awareness that HaShem, the Creator of heaven and earth, exists eternally, regardless of our belief.

SF - Access the Gateways to Spiritual Elevation \ Parashat HaShavuah

TGIF \ April 27, 2018 \ 11 Iyar, 5778

Access the Gateways to Spiritual Elevation  \ Parashat HaShavuah D'var Torah: "And you shall count for yourselves from the day after Shabbot...seven whole weeks." The days between Pesach and Shavuot are the gateways to holiness, purity, and spiritual elevation. This period of time coincides with Klal Yisrael's fifty day trek from Egypt to Mount Sinai. Upon departing from Egypt, Klal Yisrael was on the forty-ninth level of impurity. Ascending one level of holiness each day, they arrived at Mount Sinai just as they reached the fiftieth level of holiness. HaShem sanctified Klal Yisrael with this lofty level of spiritual elevation so that they would be ready and prepared to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai.   Moral: Each year between Pesach and Shavuot, HaShem comes close to Klal Yisrael and blesses the days with great sanctity. Amazingly, HaShem renews these fifty days with the same holiness and light that permeated the days of the generation that received the Torah at Mount Sinai.    Application: Envision yourself and all Klal Yisrael, ascending one level of purity each day during this period. Sense the holiness and light of HaShem surrounding you and inspiring you with spiritual elevation. As Shavuot approaches imagine yourself and all Klal Yisrael standing at Mount Sinai, in the holy presence of HaShem. Hear the voice of HaShem say, "I am the Lo-rd your G-d, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery." Accept the Torah in love, sincerity, and joy.       L"N R' Yochanon Mordecai ben Ephraim and Moras Esther Leah bas Yehudah Yoseph Refuah Shleimah Yochanon Baruch ben Fruma Ettta Riva bas Henya Zivia bas Raizel Leah Hadassah bas Michal Chana Chava Bas Michal Chanah Chaya Harriet Bat Sophie Lee Mazal Malkah Mollie Bas Sarah STAY CONNECTED:

Quanto mais conselhos, mais entendimento (2:8)

 

 

 

Nossos Sábios costumavam dizer: "Peça conselho e siga o seu próprio juízo". Embora esta afirmação pareça contraditória, na verdade ela revela um grande segredo.

 

A pessoa que é convidada a dar conselhos não avista o panorama por completo porque está visualizando o problema de fora. Já a pessoa que está com a dificuldade sabe dos detalhes – porém, está muito imersa na situação para enxergar as melhores soluções.

 

A pessoa procurando uma solução carece de objetividade para resolver seus problemas e o conselheiro, embora veja o problema objetivamente, não conhece os detalhes que o envolvem.

  

Ao ouvirmos conselhos de várias pessoas, obtemos conhecimentos a partir da perspectiva de cada um. É como  se cada um tivesse um pedaço do quebra-cabeça. 

 

A combinação das opiniões de cada pessoa irá lançar luz para uma solução. Ao consideramos suas opiniões através dos olhos de nossa íntima compreensão da situação, teremos a capacidade de tomar uma decisão firme e sólida para resolver satisfatoriamente o desafio que nos apareceu!

SF - How to Learn Torah Until it Ignites Like a Flame \ The Writings of the Ramchal

Thursday\ April 26, 2018 \ 10 Iyar, 5778

How to Learn Torah Until it Ignites Like a Flame  \ The Ramchal D'var Torah: There are spiritual lights that are "suspended" over all the letters of the Torah. When a person simply looks at the letters he perceives a simple light, like a glowing coal. However, when he strives to understand the Torah concept, he reads and reviews and reads again. This process of thought strengthens his grasp of the concept. Even more, this method of learning illuminates the lights of the letters, until they are kindled like the flame of a coal. The Mishnah alludes to this phenomenon (Avot 5:22), "Turn it and turn it, because everything is within it." So too, a person needs to contemplate the Torah concepts many times until they ignite, just like a coal that bursts into a flame. Moral: The deep learning of Torah accomplishes two worthy outcomes. One is the understanding of the Torah concept at hand. The other is the revelation of the holy light of the letters to the soul of the person who engages in Torah study. Application: Envision several glowing coals that burst into a flame. Review your learning until you grasp the concept. Continue to contemplate and review your study. Imagine the words ignite into a spiritual light that illuminates your soul with the Divine Light.

SF - Can There Be Torah Without Kindness ? \ Michah the Prophet

Tuesday \ April 24, 2018 \ 9 Iyar, 5778

Sponsored by the Gittleson Family in Memory of Yitzchak Pesach ben Shmuel    Can There Be Torah Without Kindness ? \ Michah the Prophet    D'var Torah: Kindness of deed and thought is much more than a good habit. Kindness is the essence of Torah and a Divine requirement, as the prophet expressed (Michah 6), "HaShem has told you, O man, what is good and what He requires of you: only to act with justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with HaShem." Torah and kindness complement each other like a diamond and its gold setting. In this light, the true fulfillment of Torah study is contingent upon attaining a kind-hearted disposition and frequent acts of kindness.   Moral:A person who integrates kindness both into his heart, as well as, his actions is a living example of Torah.  Application: Envision the joyous countenance of a tzadik whose heart is filled with Torah wisdom and loving-kindness. See him flow with acts of kindness, care, and love for all of his family and friends.
