Parsha
Hazinu
This
week our Parsha is mostly a song. But is not the whole Torah a song of praise
for the L-RD?
32:1
Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my
mouth.
Listen,
O heavens: that I am warning Israel, and you shall be witnesses in this matter,
for I have already told Israel that you will be witnesses. And so is [the
clause] “And let the earth hear” [to be similarly understood]. Now why did
[Moses] call upon heaven and earth to be witnesses [for warning Israel]? Moses
said: “I am [just] flesh and blood. Tomorrow I will die. If Israel says, ‘We
never accepted the covenant,’ who will come and refute them?” Therefore, he
called upon heaven and earth as witnesses for Israel-witnesses that endure
forever. Furthermore, if they [Israel] act meritoriously, the witnesses will
come and reward them: “The vine will give its fruit, the earth will yield its
produce, and the heavens will give their dew” (Zech. 8:12). And if [Israel] acts
sinfully, the hand of the witnesses will be upon them first [to inflict
punishment upon them]: “And He will close off the heaven that there will be no
rain, and the soil will not give its produce” (Deut. 11:17), and then [the verse
continues]: “and you will perish quickly”-through [the attacks of] the nations.
— [Sifrei 32:1]
Everything
that we have on this planet has spiritual life for the very components of the
atom are held together or separated according to Ratzono (HIS Will). Here is an
example of both heavens in the form of a heavy rain storm and earth in the form
of a mountain bearing witness. This week on all the news stations there was a
dashboard video of a rock slide in the States. One sees dirt and rocks come down
with such force that a car is pushed from the first lane into the second or
on-coming lane. Immediately a boulder larger than a car comes crashing down into
the sport where the car would have been and misses the car by a short distance.
This is Ratzono for it is written on Rosh Hashanah who will live and who will
die and by what death. The heavens and the earth ordinary rain, dirt and rocks
are witnesses who can lay their hands on a violator. The people in the car
escaped with minor injuries. This is the same as the famous tale from Gemara
Niddah that my great-great grandfather published in German in his book Sippurim
Legends of the Jews of the Middle Ages the tale of pit and weasel which I
published in this blog a few years ago.
2
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew; as the
small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
My
lesson will drip like rain: This is the testimony that you shall testify, that
in your presence, I declare, "The Torah (לִקְחִי), which I gave to Israel, which
provides life to the world, is just like this rain, which provides life to the
world, [i.e.,] when the heavens drip down dew and rain." — [Sifrei 32:2] will
drip: Heb. יַעִרֹף, meaning, “dripping.” Similar to this [are the verses]: “will
drip (יִרְעֲפוּן) fatness” (Ps. 65:12), [where the root רעף is equivalent to
ערף]; “will drip (יַעַרְפוּ) dew” (Deut. 33:28). will flow like dew: with which
everyone rejoices, [unlike] the rain [which occasionally] causes anguish to
people, such as travelers, or one whose pit [into which he presses his grapes]
is full of wine [which is spoiled by the rain]. — [Sifrei 32:2] like storm
winds: Heb. כִּשְׂעִירִם. This is an expression similar to “storm (סְעָרָה)
wind” [since ס and שׂ are interchangeable. Accordingly,] the Targum renders
[כִּשְׂעִירִם as]: כְּרוּחֵי מִטְרָא, “like winds [that bring] rain.” [The
metaphor is explained as follows:] Just as these [stormy, rainy] winds maintain
the plants and promote their growth, so too, the words of the Torah cause those
who study them to grow. like raindrops: Heb. וְכִרְבִיבִים, drops of rain. It
appears to me that [a raindrop] is called רְבִיב because it shoots (רוֹבֶה) down
like an arrow, as Scripture states, “an archer רוֹבֶה קַשָּׁת” (Gen. 21:20).
vegetation: Erbediz [in Old French, like the English: herbage]. This is [the
general term for] the mantle of the earth covered with vegetation. grass: Heb.
עֵשֶׂב. A single stalk is called עֵשֶׂב and each species is called עֵשֶׂב [while
דֶּשֶׁא denotes vegetation in general].
Erev
Rosh Hashanah, it happens from time to time that a I received a number of
requests like educating 5 and 6 year olds on the Shofar and the binding of
Yitzchak on the Mizbayach. Suddenly a short and fortunate false alarm medical
emergency popped up that I had to deal with and tomorrow I have a commitment to
be in the cemetery in the morning (which I did not get to in the end). Not
wanting to write a half-baked Drasha. I therefore refer you to: http://rabbipauli.blogspot.co.il/2012/09/parsha-hazinu-zos-habracha-yechezkel-on.html or http://rabbipauli.blogspot.co.il/2011/09/parsha-hazinu-rosh-hashanah-stories.html
During the blowing of the shofar on Rosh
HaShanah, notice there are three distinct sounds:
- Tekiah – one long, straight blast
- Shevarim – three medium, wailing sounds
- Teruah – 9 quick blasts in short succession
Let's examine each of these shofar
sounds, and see how they relate to the different themes of Rosh
HaShanah.
The Tekiah
Sound
Rosh HaShanah is the day of appreciating
who God is. We then internalize that understanding so that it becomes a living,
practical part of our everyday reality. God is all-powerful. God is the Creator.
God is the Sustainer. God is the Supervisor. In short, God is King of the
Universe.
But for many of us, the idea of a "king"
conjures up images of a greedy and power-hungry despot who wants to subjugate
the masses for his selfish aims.
In Jewish tradition, a king is first and
foremost a servant of the people. His only concern is that the people live in
happiness and harmony. His decrees and laws are only for the good of the people,
not for himself. (see Maimonides, Laws of Kings 2:6)
The object of Rosh Hashanah is to crown
God as our King. Tekiah – the long, straight shofar blast – is the sound
of the King's coronation. In the Garden of Eden, Adam's first act was to
proclaim God as King. And now, the shofar proclaims to ourselves and to the
world: God is our King. We set our values straight and return to the reality of
God as the One Who runs the world... guiding history, moving mountains, and
caring for each and every human being individually and personally.
Maimonides adds one important
qualification: It isn't enough that God is MY King alone. If ALL humanity
doesn't recognize God as King, then there is something lacking in my own
relationship with God. Part of my love for the Almighty is to help guide all
people to an appreciation of Him. Of course this is largely an expression of my
deep caring for others. But it also affects my own sense of God's
all-encompassing Kingship.
The Shevarim
Sound
When we think about the year gone by, we
know deep down that we've failed to live up to our full potential. In the coming
year, we yearn not to waste that opportunity ever again. The Kabbalists say that
Shevarim – three medium, wailing blasts – is the sobbing cry of a Jewish heart –
yearning to connect, to grow, to achieve.
Every person has the ability to change
and be great. This can be accomplished much faster than you ever dreamed of. The
key is to pray from the bottom of your heart and ask God for the ability to
become great. Don't let yourself be constrained by the past. You know you have
enormous potential.
At the moment the shofar is blown, we
cry out to God from the depths of our soul. This is the moment – when our souls
stand before the Almighty without any barriers – that we can truly let
go.
The Teruah
Sound
On Rosh Hashanah, we need to wake up and
be honest and objective about our lives: Who we are, where we've been, and which
direction we're headed. The Teruah sound – 9 quick blasts in short
succession – resembles an alarm clock, arousing us from our spiritual slumber.
The shofar brings clarity, alertness, and focus.
The Talmud says: "When there's judgment
from below, there's no need for judgment from above." What this means is that if
we take the time to construct a sincere, realistic model of how we've fallen
short in the past, and what we expect to change in the future, then God doesn't
need to "wake us up" to what we already know.
God wants us to make an honest effort to
maximize the gifts He gave us. You aren't expected to be anything you're not.
But you can't hoodwink God, either.
The reason we lose touch and make
mistakes is because we don't take the time everyday to reconnect with our
deepest desires and essence. The solution is to spend time alone every day,
asking: Am I on track? Am I focused? Am I pursuing goals which will make the
greatest overall difference in my life and in the world?
Make it a habit to keep in touch with
yourself, and when Rosh HaShanah comes around, the alarm clock of the shofar
won't be nearly as jarring!
Shabbos
Teshuva
This
past week and this coming Shabbos we have some Pasukim that inspire Teshuva:
30:2 and shalt return unto the LORD thy
God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day,
thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; … 15 See, I have set before thee this
day life and good, and death and evil, … 32:15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked--thou didst wax fat,
thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross--and he forsook God who made him,
and contemned the Rock of his salvation. From
this last Pasuk I got the idea that perhaps it is a good idea to work on the
physical body, cut the fat and get into shape and then the spiritual body will
fall into place. For if we nourish only the physical we neglect the
spiritual.
Another
year has come and gone and no redemption by the Moshiach! Rabbi Glixman would
cry and say “Master of the World until when will your people suffer?” Being a
retired engineer, I try to come up with a solution and I cry the three main
points observe Shabbos, Kashrus and Family Purity but it is too hard to convince
my brothers and sisters. Even my own friends whom I worked with years one has
returned to the ways of our fathers by himself after he retired. He found the
Torah interesting and has gone to eating vegetarian even though there is plenty
of Kosher Meat in Israel available. He claims that he is better off. This year I
plan to go into not only the spiritual body but the physical body. For it seems
that if the body is healthy the Neshama too is healthy and if the body is ill
then it affects the Neshama.
I
have basically stopped eating corn (maize) for 95% of it is GMO and the pig
genes in tomatoes that all look the same, canola, frog genes in Oranges now and
more. I have decided to go into eating organic food only in the USA it cost more
but does anybody know what the GMO foods due to us and the larger amounts of
Autistic Children and cancer among us. Even our eating habits are subject to
repentance not to mention diet changes for health reasons. Like a diabetic
lowering as much as possible carbohydrates intake and switching to quinoa and
tapioca instead of potatoes and wheat. I am not a dietician so don’t rely only
on my word.
It
is Teshuva, Tephilla and Tzeduka that avoids the evil decree. Every aspect of
life should be reviewed not just the religious behavior. By changing and
increasing my workout in the Gym, I am seeing results. I could do better on the
Daf Yomi and Shulchan Aruch front but all in all I have seen my body fat drop by
7 to 9% in five months my muscle mass improve and a weight loss of 3 to 4
kilograms or 7 to 9 lbs. Every bit of Teshuva both on the spiritual and the
physical front helps an individual.
When
the body is healthy and the blood flowing to the brain correct then it is easier
to awaken the spiritual well-being. As the brain is clearer from impurities the
spiritual matter sinks in and is absorbed. We then can analyze what we are doing
right and wrong with our prayers. Most of us will find them becoming routine. We
are not like sages who would meditate an hour before and an hour after praying.
We want to wake up, rush to Schul and get on with our schedule. Sometimes it is
for learning Torah which I do on the side via my smart phone as I listen to the
Gemara on the Elliptical workout. Imagine walking the equivalent of 12 to 13,000
steps without pressure on your ankles or knees and get in about two Dafim of
Gemara, and it is possible to reflect on Mitzvos that we need to do and should
be doing. Have we checked our Tephillin twice in 7 years do we need to check our
Mezuzos of the house? Have we bought enough food to honor the Shabbos or Yom Tov
properly? All this is on the physical/spiritual side of the Mitzvos. Rosh
Hashanah 5775 is a Shmita Year what have we learned of the Halachos? Even those
who use the Heter and deal with their crops or export their fruits need to view
the laws as it is a Mitzvah to learn them. It is one of the Mitzvos of the land
of Yisrael.
How did
the Lubavitcher Rebbe view Teshuva? The abandonment of sin and to accept the
yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven is the first step. It is not enough for a Jew to
renounce a single transgression and have resolved not to do it again but he must
put in the effort to cease and desist from all future transgressions. He must
promise to observe all the Mitzvos and if he has hurt a fellow man do his best
possible to make amends. [There are certain sins that are so hurtful that they
require either payment in the afterlife or a return to this world again to have
payment extracted from them.] It once happened that a Yemenite man in Rehovot
had an orchard of Esrogim and a place where he planted saplings for either sale
or future use. One time he had a dispute with a Chassidic fellow either because
he had promised all his Esrogim to somebody else or whatever. The Chassid then
went and took a saw or set fire to his Esrogim the loss was tremendous. He did
not know so a while later the Chassid asked for forgiveness he thought over the
dispute so he said that of course he forgave and he never saw the Chassid again.
The damage was tremendous financially he was able to recover the area with the
saplings but years of income were lost. So unless the Yemenite did something
similar to the Chassid in a past life there will be a payment required by the
Chassid after 120 years. For damage from Lashon Hara is similar one cannot take
back everything and even if we remove what we said to the original listens it
may have gone further or an ease dropper could have picked things up. Sins
between man and G-D can be wiped away easy but between man and man
not.
Rabbi
Yacov London Ztz”l said on a number of occasions that a person has to be crazy
to sin. In fact it says, “A spirit of folly enters” (Tehillim 49)! (Perhaps the
Rabbi meant this something like this but my memory from so many years back is
weak. I googled and found this Hoshea 9:7 The days of
visitation are come, the days of recompense are come, Israel shall know it. The
prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad! For the multitude of you
iniquity, the enmity is great.) Back to the Rebbe – A
sinner is one who has thrown off the Yoke of HASHEM and has impaired his
Neshama. When a Jew accepts the Yoke of Heaven and returns to his source, he
nullifies the transgression and prevents at the source a reoccurrence.
He
observes “And you shall return to HASHEM ELOKECHA” (Devarim 30:2). Rather than
making amends, Teshuva requires of us to rededicate ourselves unto obeying all
of G-D’s commandments, ordinances and statutes.
So with
this let us begin to repent and prepare ourselves for the Yom HaDin.
The
Berdichever’s Envy (from Living Jewish Net)
Once
on the way home from Schul, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev encountered an
individual known for his many transgressions and aimless life-style. He said, “I
am envious of you during these days of Elul of repentance for if you repent,
your many transgressions will be turned into merits. ”Hah” replied the man “for
by this time next year, I will have many more sins and you will have more to be
envious of for I will have more sins to turn into merits.”
Rav
Levi Yitzchak was not perturbed and said let me tell you a story. “Once there
was a Polish Noble was traveling and a fierce downpour overtook him. He
remembered that he had an inn that he had leased out so he went to tie his horse
inside the Stable. However, the roof was leaking the beams of the stable were
shaking. “Well at least I can keep dry” so he consoled himself. But when he went
in the condition of the Inn was not better than the stables. “How dare you
neglect this property! You were given property in excellent order and you have
neglected it and now the place is a disaster!”
“Well
the innkeeper stammered, ‘I had a hunch that eventually you would come here, but
I didn’t recon that it would be so soon’.” So shortly after Rosh HaShanah, the
sinner became ill and called in Rabbi Levi Yitzchak to guide him and died a
repentant. IT IS
TIME THAT WE LIVE AS A REPENTANT!
There is a big
business trend to send Jews who grasp at straws to the graves of Tzaddikim if so
go to Tzefat, Miron and Tiberius and pray but travel to the homeland of Ivan the
Terrible of Treblinka, Barbi-Yar etc. not I. In fact it smacks of escapism and
borders on Christian thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gyYg0E5Lkcg
Give
up? Try 1899! That was the year that Queens and Staten Island became part of New
York City, the Great Blizzard of 1899 pounded South Florida with snow, and
fighting in Afghanistan continued to rage (then it was the British but sadly
some things never change). This was also the year when the paperclip and Bayer
aspirin were patented, and voting machines were okayed for federal
elections.(Hmm, chads, hanging or not) Yep, the last time Rosh Hashanah fell on
September 5th was the year the Bronx Zoo opened in New York, and when all is
said and done, it will be another 76 years (2089) until this Rosh Hashanah comes
this early again.
So
as you can imagine rabbis everywhere are scrambling to finish sermons and Jews
everywhere are asking, “has the Jewish calendar gone crazy!?” Well, not exactly.
In reality the Jewish calendar works on a 19 year cycle adding a 13th month
(Adar 2) in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17 and 19. This is year 17 of that cycle and
represents the longest possible year in the Jewish calendar of 385 days. The
Jewish calendar which is based primarily on the lunar cycle, makes these
adjustments in order to keep the holidays in sync with solar seasons. This keeps
Passover in the spring and Sukkot in the fall. While it is not uncommon for the
calendar to add a month during these leap years or for the holidays to be
“early” or “late”, what is different this year is the extreme “earliness” in
relation to the secular calendar. The next time Rosh Hashanah will fall on
September 5th will as mentioned above be in 2089 or in the Jewish counting 5850
which is why this year is so special.
But
wait that’s not all. This year the first night of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving are
on the same day! According to Steve Morse, this is the first time that’s
happened since President Lincoln originally established Thanksgiving in 1863 and
it is also the last time it'll happen until the year 79,811. I'll
say that again: after this year, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving Day won’t overlap for
another 77,798 years! The reason is because the Jewish calendar is very slowly
getting out of sync with the solar calendar, at a rate of 4 days per 1000 years
(not bad for a many centuries old calendar!) This means that while presently
Hanukkah can be as early as 11/28, over the years the calendar will drift
forward, such that the earliest Hanukkah can be is 11/29. It is my belief that
at some distant future time the rabbis will again need to come together and
recalibrate the calendar for another 5 thousand years. Until then we can all
enjoy the special nature of this extraordinary new year.
May
the new year of 5774 be filled with the blessings of good health, happiness, and
prosperity for you and your family!

Three
Prayers of Rosh HaShanah http://www.ou.org/chagim/roshhashannah/rosh3prayers.htm
Three
descriptions, so to speak, of G-d, through which we can relate to Him, are
contained in the Mussaf Prayer of Rosh HaShanah. They are as
follows:
1)
Malchiyot - Kingliness:
G-d
is the incomparable King of The Universe. The destiny of humanity is to
come to this realization. Whereas human kings rule in accordance with the
principle of :"might makes right," G-d is the Holy King, Who is, at the same
time, beyond comparison in His power, "Vas er vil, Tut er" - "Whatever He wills,
He can do," yet He is also the Father of the orphan and the Judge of the widow,
Who is always on the side of the powerless.
He
is the Incorruptible and Righteous Judge of the World, Who favors no one, and
cannot be bribed.
He
is the true G-d and His word, the Torah, is true and eternal.
2)
Zichronot - Remembrances
We
recognize that Hashem is above Time, and the idea of "forgetting" does not apply
to Him, nor is He limited in "understanding" the inner thoughts of His
creatures. Nevertheless, we ask that He "remember" only the "good" in our
behalf when He Judges us.
For
all of humanity, for the whole world is Judged today, we ask that He "remember"
the faith of Noach who endured taunts and threats for 120 years while he built
the Ark, and tried to explain its purpose to his wayward
generation.
For
the Jewish People in particular, we ask that He "remember" the early
loyalty of our People, who followed Him as a bride, as He said "I remember
your youthful devotion, the love of your bridal days, how you followed Me
through the desert, in a barren land" (Yirmiyahu 2:2) and later as a precious
child, "Is it because Ephraim is my favorite son, my beloved child? As
often as I speak of him, I remember him fondly. My heart yearns for him, I
will have pity on him, says the L-rd." (Yirmiyahu 31:19)
Most
of all, we ask that He "remember" the supreme act of devotion performed by our
fathers Avraham and Yitzchak, where Avraham suppressed his natural feelings of
mercy towards his son, and was prepared to sacrifice him at the command of G-d,
and Yitzchak was prepared to be sacrificed, thereby suppressing his natural
feelings of self-preservation, in fulfillment of G-d's command. So should
G-d suppress, so to speak, His Midat HaDin , His Attribute of
Strict Justice, which would require that we be punished for our misdeeds, in
favor of His Midat HaRachamim , His Attribute of Mercy.
3)
Shofarot - Blasts of the Shofar
We
recall the time that G-d revealed Himself on Mt. Sinai and gave us the
Torah.
"The
whole world trembled at Your Presence, Creation shook in awe before You, when
You, our King, did reveal Yourself on Mt. Sinai to give to Your People the Torah
and its Commandments, letting them hear your majestic voice, your holy words out
of flashes of fire. Amid thunder and lightening did You reveal Yourself to
them, amid the sound of the Shofar did you appear to them."
The
Shofar will be blown during the final battles of Israel with its
enemies.
It
will be sounded when our Exiles return.
It
will be sounded when the Temple will be rebuilt.
It
is the sound signifying the Presence of the majesty of G-d.
We
ask that it be sounded again with the arrival of the Mashiach.
