I have a prayer request for the wife of a friend of mine that I have known since
the age of 3 I got this e-mail from his wife: Please pray for Carl. Carl threw up all over himself
last night and has been unresponsive since then. Doctors are uncertain about
what the problem is. Sorry to give you this news. Since both he and I grew up

Parsha Balak Part 1
Last week the Bnei Yisrael lose both Miriam and Aaron. The army
after training for 39 years finally got put into action with the battle for
Arad and the cities of Og and Sichon. Out of respect for Yitzchak Avinu the
Bnei Edom were avoided. But our troubles are not over Moav, Ammon and Median
are about to try to undermine us. Also internal Lashon HaRa or other hidden
sins caused the fire-like serpents even today they can kill: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/197554#.VZQXfJsw8eE
There are a number of ways the Bnei Yisrael are attacked by
others. The first is the direct attack like Laban and pharaoh. The second is by
love such as we see at the end of the Parsha. Here the women enticed men into a
physical relationship because of Balaam’s advice that HASHEM Yisborach hates
immodest and I don’t want to go into a certain Supreme Count allowing all sorts
of abominations. (Vayikra 18:22 and 20:13) This type of “love” destroys Am
Yisrael as I shall explain further on. Lastly the internal attack on the people
by Datan and Amiran that try to destroy us from within.
22:1 And
the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the
Jordan at Jericho.
They had zero designs on Moav or Midian and certainly not on
Balaam’s land. Rather they were poised to cross the Yarden and enter Eretz
Yisrael. It seems that Yericho is one of the key routes up into Eretz Yisrael.
However, the whole story of the defeat of Mitzrayim as Rachav told the spies
and then the breaking news of Melech Arad, Sichon and Og scared Balak out of
his wits. If one Googles
2 And
Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And
Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was
overcome with dread because of the children of Israel. 4 And Moab said unto the
elders of Midian: 'Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us,
as the ox licks up the grass of the field.'--And Balak the son of Zippor was
king of Moab at that time.—
He could have sued for peace or greeted Israel as Israel would do
with Alexander the Great but no he cowardly tried to curse Israel. To be
continued – folks I had an exhausting week Ok but I want to produce quality. We
will see where Balaam failed and the hint from the angel and the donkey as he
pressing onward even by foot to curse Yisrael after HASHEM told him that
Yisrael were blessed by HASHEM. We see that his advice in the end destroys
24,000 fighting men of Yisrael through idolatry and promiscuity.

Perkei Avos Chapter 4 Mishnayos 1
- 4 http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2032/jewish/Chapter-Four.htm
1. Ben Zoma would say: Who is wise? One who learns from every man. As is stated (Psalms 119:99): "From all my teachers I have grown wise, for Your testimonials are my meditation."
A person who is wise seeks knowledge from everyman and every
creature. Our Sages say learn modesty from the cat, loyalty from the dog, I may
add watchfulness can be learned from an owl or eagle, etc.
Who is strong? One who overpowers his inclinations. As is stated (Proverbs 16:32), "Better one who is slow to anger than one with might, one who rules his spirit than the captor of a city."
This is the true form of Gevura able to overcome one’s desires for
money, rich foods, power, etc.
Who is rich? One who is satisfied with his lot. As is stated (Psalms 128:2): "If you eat of toil of your hands, fortunate are you, and good is to you"; "fortunate are you" in this world, "and good is to you" in the World to Come.
A poor man like Rabbi Elimelech who was dirt poor and had health
problems would always say that he was just fine and well off from HASHEM while
a billionaire like Carlos who only wants more billions is actually
psychologically poorer.
Who is honorable? One who honors his fellows. As is stated (I Samuel 2:30): "For to those who honor me, I accord honor; those who scorn me shall be demeaned."
I have always honored my fellow man. Our cleaning lady from work,
Zahava, was marrying off her own daughter in Afula which was about a 2 to 2.5
hr. for me. I came there with my wife to honor the bride and groom and bring
joy to Zahava. Always greet your fellow man as equal as the difference between
Zahava and I were that I am male and educated in the States and she was born in
Israel or North Africa and not educated. In fact one cleaning lady at work was
a famous pianist from Russia but there is limit how many pianists could be
employed in Israel.
2. Ben Azzai would say: Run to pursue a minor mitzvah, and flee from a transgression. For a mitzvah brings another mitzvah, and a transgression brings another transgression. For the reward of a mitzvah is a mitzvah, and the reward of transgression is transgression.
The Hebrew is Mitzvah pulls along another Mitzvah and that is a
good cycle but sin brings on more as one sees the first time he sins as bad but
the next time less until it becomes a habit. That is the way of the Yetzer HaRa
for the sin becomes a habit. Nobody is born into being a sinner it just grows
on one.
3. He would also say: Do not scorn any man, and do not discount anything. For there is no man who has not his hour, and no thing that has not its place.
Everybody has his day whether in a local newspaper or being interviewed on the street or winning the lottery. The same goes for creatures and even plants.
4. Rabbi Levitas of Yavneh would say: Be very, very humble, for the hope of mortal man is worms.
Unfortunately this is how we end up after 120 years and after a thousand years a few bones if lucky. So we should be humble and not bully other people or thing too highly of ourselves.
Rabbi Yochanan the son of Berokah would say: Whoever desecrates the Divine Name covertly, is punished in public. Regarding the desecration of the Name, the malicious and the merely negligent are one and the same.
There are times when Rabbis are lenient. One of them is strict on health and lenient of fasts or even Shabbos. Nursing women and even some non-critically ill people should not fast this coming Sunday. It is not such a minor fast, yet we are only obligated if we are healthy enough to fast! Yom Kippur is from the Torah there are less problems for Tisha B'AV. One who has no problem fasting should be fasting, otherwise one should consult a medical doctor and his local Orthodox Rabbi and for some in VT, MS, ID and other places I am the LOR.
I got this from Wendy thank G-D in Judaism women went to the
Mikvah once a month and men went every Erev Shabbos or Chassidim daily. Here
are some facts about the 1500's Most people got married in June because they
took their yearly bath in May, And they still smelled pretty good by June..
However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers
to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when
getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub
filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean
water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the
children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually
lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the
bath water!" Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no
wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats
and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it
became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to
stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the
bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed.
Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some
protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt…
only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt
poor."
Endangering
One's Own to Help Others by Rabbi Yerachiel Tilles http://ascentofsafed.com/cgi-bin/ascent.cgi?Name=918-41
The non-chasidic scholar
shouted: “The Torah is preserved only by one who gives his life for it! Is
there someone else like the Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of
Lubavitch, who is willing to put everything on the line for no personal
gain."
Connection: Seasonal -
Yud-Beit (12th) Tammuz is the anniversary of the birthday (1880) and Liberation
Day (in 1927) of the Rebbe Rayatz.
I [Rabbi Mayer Plotkin] was raised in Montreal and educated there until my Bar Mitzvah. Shortly after, in 1956, I came to New York to learn at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas School. At that time, it was one of the biggest yeshivas in the world, and certainly the biggest yeshiva in North America with over two thousand students from grade one up until the highest level of Bais Midrash. It was situated in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - which was a big change from Montreal, let me tell you.
I stayed at Torah Vodaas for two
years and then I moved to the Lubavitch Yeshiva. But while I was still at Torah
Vodaas, I heard the following story about the Frierdiker Rebbe [the
sixth Rebbe of Lubavitch, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn].
The occasion was the anniversary
of the passing of a previous head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Shlomo Hyman,
which was always observed with a major address to the entire student body. The
speaker that particular year was a rabbi from the Bronx, Rabbi Shmuel
Koselewitz, who administered testing for rabbinic ordination at Torah Vodaas
[the candidates went by subway from Brooklyn to his shul in the Bronx
for testing-YT].
The place was packed; all the
students were in attendance. This is what he said:
"The Talmud states: The
Torah is preserved only by one who gives his life for it. That means that the
Torah cannot continue to exist unless you're ready to die for it." He went
on to explain that a person has to be willing and ready to give everything he
has for Torah, to give everything away - everything - and not hold anything
back. Then he said, "I'm going to tell you a story about what that means,
about somebody who did just that. The story I am going to tell happened right
here, in this building where we are gathered today.
"It happened in the war
years, '42, '43, or maybe '44. At that time, Torah Vodaas was in trouble. It
owed a lot of money to the bank, and the bank called in the loan. The yeshiva
could not pay. The bank went to court and got a verdict that, if the loan was
not repaid in full, they could foreclose and take all the buildings away from
Torah Vodaas.
"The yeshiva's
financial officer, who was responsible for raising the money, fell into a
depression. He took it very badly. He felt that because of him Torah Vodaas was
going to be closed. He tried everything he knew to remedy the situation. He
placed appeals in newspapers, but very little came in, and the deadline was
getting closer.
“And then one day, he received a
telephone call from the office of the Lubavitcher Rebbe then, Rabbi Yosef
Yitzchak Schneersohn, asking him how much money he had managed to raise.
"Now, he knew that
Lubavitch had its own hardships, so he didn't expect any help from the Rebbe.
He thought, 'The Rebbe can't manage his own, how is he going to help me?'
"But a few days later, a
Chabad chasid walks through the door with an envelope in hand, and says, 'This
is from the Rebbe.'
"The man is stunned. He is
speechless. And then the chasid says, 'The Rebbe asked that before I give you
this envelope, I advise you of some facts: When he was in Russia, he had to
fight against the strongest country in the world so that the Torah would not be
extinguished. The biggest tyrant in the world was Joseph Stalin, and the Rebbe
paid no attention to him. Whoever needed help in order to strengthen Torah, he
helped them. He didn't ask if it's Chabad or not. Whatever they needed - a mikva,
a kosher butcher, a teacher - he tried to supply it. He did whatever he could
so the light of Torah would not be extinguished. His emissaries were caught,
shot and killed, and he then had their orphans and widows to support. And still
he would send another person to replace the one who perished. All the while,
his focus was only that Torah's light not be extinguished.
'Now Divine Providence has
brought him to the United States of America where there is freedom of religion,
and he is pained to learn that a major yeshiva with thousands of
students is going to be closed down. Not because Stalin in Russia wants to get
rid of Judaism, but because the Jews in America don't care. This the Rebbe
cannot abide. He is willing to put his own movement in danger - because he also
has debts to repay - but he is giving you a check for the whole amount you
need, in order that the Torah not be extinguished. Please repay it as soon as
possible, because everything the Rebbe has built up is now in danger.'"
While Rabbi Koselewitz was
telling this story, everybody was sitting there with their mouths open - the
whole room. And then he shouted: "The Torah is preserved only by one who
gives his life for it! And that's what the Rebbe did!
"When the Rebbe arrived in
America - and I was there when he got off the boat - he was half paralyzed by
the tortures he endured in Stalinist Russia. Then he lost his yeshiva in
Poland to the Nazis. And since he arrived here, he has had to deal with a lot
of hardships and opposition.
"Find me someone like that!
Find me someone who is willing to put everything he has on the line for no
personal gain. The check he sent to Torah Vodaas put his own movement in
serious debt and in grave danger.
Thank G-d, Torah Vodaas was able
to make sure it was repaid fast. The Rebbe did get his money back. But when he
gave it, he could not have be certain that would happen. That's real
self-sacrifice."
This was the story that Rabbi
Shmuel Koselewitz related, and it became one of the reasons why I eventually
went over to the Lubavitch Yeshiva. I saw that same genuine spirit of
self-sacrifice in the followers of the Rebbe, and I was inspired by them. I
wanted to be a part of a movement which had such a high level of dedication to
Torah and to their fellow Jews.

Biographical note:
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn [of blessed memory: 12 Tammuz 5640 - 10 Shvat 5710 (Jan. 1880-June 1950 C.E.)], known as the Rebbe Rayatz, was the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, from 1920 to 1950. He established a network of Jewish educational institutions and Chassidim that was the single most significant factor for the preservation of Judaism during the dread reign of the communist Soviets. . In 1940 he moved to the USA, established Chabad world-wide headquarters in Brooklyn and launched the global campaign to renew and spread Judaism in all languages and in every corner of the world, the campaign continued and expanded so remarkably successfully by his son-in-law and successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

Editor's note: Rabbi Shmuel Koselewitz [1895-196x] was
the eldest son of Rabbi Tzvi-Yehuda Koselewitz, the town rabbi of Tichtin, one
of the most important rabbinical posts in pre-WWII Lithuania.
Sadly, after the family moved to USA, to the best of my knowledge no member of Rabbi Shmuel's family in his or the following generation remained (or became) Torah-observant in his lifetime. Subsequently, in the mid-1970's, the youngest son of his youngest brother, Tzvi-Yehuda ("Victor") Saks z"l, a professor of mathematics in his late 20's and one of my closest friends, became religious and a devoted follower of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Surely, Tzvi-Yehuda's life from that point on, as well as that of his seven children and ever-growing number of grandchildren, are giving much nachas-and soul elevation!--to his parents, his grandparents, and his uncle.

Editorial
This pertains to Am Yisrael. The first time since the Holocaust
our numbers have come close to 16,000,000 Jews with probably hundreds of
thousands still assimilated. The USA has 5.7 million, Israel 6.1 million. Here
are the statistics: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4673018,00.html

Edelson, the main backer for Netanyahu, is also chairman for a group which
Noble Energy belongs to. He made a phone call and a little bit of a business
deal but the lobby is pressing Netanyahu. This is what Donald Trump meant when
he said that I am rich enough and the lobby cannot pressure me.
Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov taught that when a
person is drowning and thrashes about in the water to save himself, people
certainly will not make fun of his motions. Similarly, when a person makes
motions during prayer, he is trying to save himself from drowning in waters of
distraction so we shouldn't look at them as behaving strangely. Shabbat Shalom

Story of a person trying to
convert (L.U.)
My story in short version: I am a son of a Lutheran priest. I
never felt good in Church and as a child asked my father to remove the crucifix
from the room where I slept. My family is full of priests or musicians. I am a
violinist. After a serious burn out when I had to stop playing the violin for a
year, a Jewish family took me in to live with them and I stayed for 7 years.
When I entered the Synagogue first time, I felt like coming home. At that time my mother told me that her father's mother was
from a Jewish family. My aunt and uncle became Messianic Jews, but that was not
my thing...to cut the story short, after 30 years of not feeling that my
family's tradition is for my soul the right one, I have finally decided to be
honest to my soul and want to become a proper Jew. I have been doing the daily
prayers no for months with the Koren siddur in English. I think the next step
would be to contact our local Orthodox synagogue and the rabbi? I am convinced
that what I am doing, is for me the only way. I have been fighting against it
for 30 years and now the inner pressure has become too big. I don't care if it
is difficult. Violin playing is also not the easiest thing in the world smile
emoticon sorry for the long post, but I need to tell somebody how I
feel! My family would not understand. I might
add that during those 7 years in that Jewish family I was practicing daily with
the daughter and she became so good that she played as a soloist with Menuhin
when she was 14. I met some of the greatest Jewish violinist then: Shlomo
Mintz, Menuhin etc. and I had master classes with Max Rostal(Mordechai
Rosenthal) and Yuval Yaron etc. but the main thing was that I got connected
with the Jewish culture and values. Also I found my real vocation, which is
teaching.
Story of C.S. on next to no money
a month, C managed to buy lots of books on Judaism and undergone a number of
medical problems. C was kicked out of a few places by close relatives and
partly because she left Christianity. Just as with Ruth it is not fun and
games. Ruth was a princess who gave it all up for HASHEM. But then again look
whom she sired.
Story from: K
I am choosing Judaism because I
love it, and almost nothing else in my life has ever felt so right or made me
feel so whole. I love the sense of community and genuine care and welcome. The
people at my shul are always happy to see me, regardless of how screwy my
chronic health conditions are that day. Every prayer makes me feel connected to
everyone else there. I love how musical it is. The rituals are comforting and
warm. But as much as I'm choosing it, I'm convinced that it chose me, too. This
is where I belong. I am certain of it down to my bones. Also, I'm choosing this
for more than myself. I am choosing it for my future children, for the family I
will someday have.
When my 8th grade class visited the Holocaust Museum in DC, I was horrified. I've forgotten most things from that trip, but never that. I can still smell the place if I think about it. I was sick after being there. I knew in my heart that these were my people who had been killed, that I would have been killed if I was alive then.

Story from V.
There's. A Big difference between
conservative, and Orthodox, I can say this because I was For 5 years at a
Conservative. Synagogue, until Finally, I meet an Orthodox Rabbi, it depends,
what you really want to be and how far you want to go, In my case Choosing the Orthodox
way has changed my life completely for Good, I have a few friends who done
their conversion conservative and now they Want to be Orthodox Jews, I. Asked
why you are changing they say being. Conservative you are not a completely Jew
you are only for the conservative movement, but not for those. Who are devoted
Jews and that's really true, having no technology on one they is amazing. You
rest from every days routine, not using a car on Shabbat is so great to enjoy
the nature, for me being Orthodox is the best decision to live a really Jewish
life And to have a accepted conversion everywhere you go.
