This issue is dedicated to upcoming marriage of my
oldest grandson may he and his wife build a loyal house in Israel the Parsha
will be shorter this week.
I got back my AOL on Sunday. I was reading an AOL
headline that a sports figure was benched which is a bad thing. In Judaism,
which does not go looking for sports titles, the Rabbis taught was the realm of
Esav. Rebbe, the codifier of the Mishnayos, was an intensive gymnastics figure.
I go to the gym. However, in Judaism being benched (Yiddish for blessing)
is wonderful if a person is “benched” by his Rabbi, Teacher, Parent or Cohain. If
the husband benched his wife or vice versa what Shalom Beis a person has!
I am trying to find out if we need to pray for Eliyahu ben Aviva. As
for now his status is eluding me so I am suspending prayers until I learn his
status.
Parsha
Mishpatim
Last week, Yisro advised Moshe to distribute the
Halachic advice to the ignorant either for judgement or for just trying to be
proper Bnei Yisrael. Since, even with the Decalogue there are not that many
Mitzvos and laws comes the question that is what laws were hidden from us. This
week, we shall learn some of them between man and man and one’s property
causing a liability to a neighbor (examples - his slave, bull, or crop eating
sheep).
21:1 Now these are
the ordinances which thou shalt set before them. 2 If thou buy a Hebrew
servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh, he shall go out free for
nothing. 3 If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he be
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
If he was married to a free bas
Yisrael. However, if he was a slave wife by his master-employer then he can
purchase her or choose to be with the master after six years.
4 If his master give him a wife,
and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her
master's, and he shall go out by himself. 5 But if the servant shall plainly
say: I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free; 6 then
his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto
the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he
shall serve him forever.
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do. 8 If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed; to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. 9 And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 10 If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her conjugal rights, shall he not diminish. 11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money.
The family might be dirt poor but they might have good genealogy. I once knew a Cohain family that had a large number of children and the father had a lowly job. They were quite poor. The children were dressed is second or third hand clothing. This could be the type of servant girl sold to the rich man for his daughter. It was not unusual to see a girl who was approximately kindergarten age as a “servant” to be trained and groomed by the woman of the house for the son upon reaching puberty. The girl would be released if the son did not want her or the master was not interested in marrying her. This would take place upon reaching puberty or at the age of 12 years and one day meaning her 12th birthday.
12 He that smite a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
This is the case of a man that was warned by two people to stop before he murders his fellow. However, if there were no witnesses or it just happened that he killed his fellow or it was self-defense the case becomes different and he might go to jail or free depending on the circumstances.
13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee.
He shall flee to one of the cities of refuge or
Yerushalayim. That is accidental homicide such as he was carrying a brick
upwards and it slipped out of his hand or his shovel or ax handle flee off
killing his fellow.
14 And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die. 15 And he that smites his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
Interesting these two Pasukim with death penalties one next to the other. The first is a case of first-degree murder. The second is hitting a parent. The first is destroying the top of G-D’s creation. The second is going against one’s own physical version of a creator or rather a delegated authority from G-D. Perhaps as the Talmud states: Three participate in the creation of the child: 1) the father supplies the white 2) the mother supplies the red and 3) G-D supplies the holy Neshama.
16 And he that steals a man, and sells him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Human trafficking.
17 And he that curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
This is more than what we call cuss or four letter words but with the NAME of G-D.
18 And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or
with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed; 19 if he rise again, and walk
abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay
for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
It comes out reading that the doctor will cure and from hear the
Sages of blessed memory said that G-D gives permission to the doctors to cure...
At this point more damages are mentioned by one’s Ox or Sheep. The
Rabbis start Baba Kama with the four types of damages. The moving damage which
can trample or hit your property represented by the Ox. The obstacle
represented by a pit in the middle of a path. Causing destruction by a fire or
water damage and the Ox or Sheep that eats the crops. There are types of Oxen
one is innoxious and one is noxious. Other things mentioned are cattle or sheep
rustling. We learn for being caught rustling how much damage is paid.
19 The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt
bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its
mother's milk.
One of my questions this week deals with employment in a store
that cooks mile and meat. Our Parsha ends with Moshe up the Mountain for forty
days and nights.
This week we start the 4 Parshiyos before Pessach. We
start with Parsha Shekelim from Ki Sisa which is Shemos 30:11 – 16 about the
paying of the half Shekel in the census. In the times when the Beis HaMikdash
was active, the money was used for Temple repairs and the fixing of wells and
roads leading to the Temple.
The Japanese Convert
posted by Meir S. written by D. Sofer
One of World War II's
most unusual heroes.
There were many guests crowded
around beautifully set tables in Rabbi Chaim Shmulevitz's small apartment,
located in the Mirrer Yeshivah in Jerusalem.
Rising to speak, Rav Chaim, the
Mir's illustrious Rosh Yeshivah, warmly called out, “Dear Reb Avraham, may you
merit to grow in Torah and fear of Heaven, in line with the aspirations of your
pure heart! May you become a true son of Avraham Avinu, after whom
you are now named.”
This was no bar-mitzvah celebration.
The celebrant was Setzuso Kotsuji, a 60-year-old Japanese professor, who had
recently been circumcised upon converting to Judaism, taking on the Hebrew name
"Avraham."
“We will never forget what you did
for us when we were in Japan,” Rav Chaim continued, “nor how you risked your
life to save us. The merit of that self-sacrifice is what stood in your stead
and led you to seek shelter under the wings of the Shechina [the
Divine Presence] and to become a genuine member of the Nation you helped so much.”
FROM SHINTOISM TO JUDAISM
Setzuso Kotsuji was born in 1900
into an aristocratic Japanese family. His father, who himself was a prominent
Shinto priest, descended from a long-line of well-known priests.
Kiyoto, Setzuso's birthplace, was
the center of the Shinto religion. His father hoped that Setzuso would
naturally follow the family tradition and study for the priesthood.
Setzuso instead embarked on an epic
search for truth. When he was 13, he visited an antique bookshop in which he
discovered a Tanach, the Hebrew Bible, which had been translated
into Japanese. Thirstily, he devoured that sacred work and learned about
monotheism. Realizing that this was the truth, he slowly began to veer away
from the polytheistic Shinto religion. In the end, he stopped attending the
Shinto temple altogether and searched for someone to teach him more about
Judaism.
After his marriage, Setzuso's search
for the truth brought him to the United States, where he began to study Tanach
and Hebrew in an American university. When he returned to Japan with a
doctorate in Hebrew and Judaic studies, he continued to broaden his knowledge
of these subjects.
In 1937, he published his first book
in Japanese on Hebrew language and grammar. At that time, he also founded the
Tanach and Hebrew Department at the Tokyo University. This department attracted
many non-Jewish students and, quite rapidly, Professor Kotsuji gained acclaim
in Japan as a scholar and thinker of repute. He was also highly esteemed in
government circles, where he made many friends. He would subsequently utilize
these connections to help the Jewish refugees who were to arrive to Japan.
Prof. Kotsuji published other studies on Judaism, Tanach and Hebrew.
At that time, various Japanese
researchers published studies which linked the Japanese nation to the Ten Lost
Tribes exiled by Sancheriv. These erroneous claims evoked a wave of interest in
Judaism among Japan's intelligentsia and Prof. Kotsuji's books became widely
read.
During his studies in the United
States, Prof. Kotsuji had not encountered Torah-observant Jews. He first met
such Jews in Charbin, the capital of Manchuria, where a large community of
former Russian Jews had existed since 1890. When Manchuria was conquered by
Japan, the Japanese emperor invited Prof. Kotsuji to serve as his Jewish
Affairs Advisor. Prof. Kotsuji accepted this offer and moved to Charbin, where
he remained for a few years. While there, the professor formed warm
relationships with its Jewish community and its chief rabbi, Rabbi Moshe Aharon
Kiskilov.
Prof. Kotsuji's friendship and
admiration for the Jewish people reached a peak in 1941, when the Jewish
refugees of the Holocaust began to stream to Japan in search of a haven.
When the Mirrer Yeshivah arrived in
the Japanese city of Kobe, Prof. Kotsuji went there to familiarize himself with
the Torah world. In Kobe, he became very close with the Mir's illustrious
rabbis and students, whose refinement and nobility of spirit had a profound
impact on him.
A SAVING FRIENDSHIP
The permits which the Jewish refugees
had received to enter Japan were only transfer visas, meant to expire within
two weeks of their arrival there. Although the Japanese authorities extended
these visas a number of times, after a while there was pressure exerted upon
the yeshiva to leave Japan and continue to their “destination” -- which was, of
course, non-existent since they had nowhere else to go.
For purely humanitarian reasons,
Prof. Kotsuji became involved in the refugees' problems and made vigorous
efforts to have their visas extended. To achieve this, he utilized his
friendship with Japan's Foreign Affairs minister. When top ranking members of
Kobe's police force opposed the extension of these visas, Professor Kotsuji
bribed them with vast sums of money, which he borrowed from his wealthy
brother-in-law, and repaid himself.
As a result of Prof. Kotsuji's
intervention, the Japanese authorities agreed to extend the refugees' visas
several times, letting them stay for eight months instead of the original
two-week period. Later, when the Japanese decided to banish the Jews from
Japan, they did not expel them completely but instead deported them to
Shanghai, China, which was under Japanese rule.
FIGHTING THE ANTI-SEMITES
As more and more Jewish refugees
streamed into Japan, anti-Semitic sentiment increased. This was because
Germany, Japan's ally, attempted to persuade Japan to expel its Jews. This
poisonous anti-Semitic propaganda flooded the Japanese media and revolting
caricatures of Jews were plastered all over the Japanese newspapers. In 1941,
the eve of Japan's war against the United States, Japan and Germany became even
closer and anti-Semitism intensified. High-ranking Japanese leaders began to
publicly blame the Jews for both World Wars, claiming that wherever Jews go,
they spread havoc.
Prof. Kotsuji countered these
accusations and waged a vigorous and brave battle against this anti- Semitic
incitement. Determined to portray the Jews to the Japanese in a positive light,
he published a book, called "The True Character of the Jewish
Nation," in which he exploded all of the German myths and lies about the
Jews, and portrayed the Jewish people as a highly ethical, righteous nation.
Prof. Kotsuji traveled throughout
Japan, delivering lectures that praised the Jewish people and refuted the lies
of her enemies. He even appealed to the Japanese to assist the Jews, declaring,
“Divine Providence has brought thousands of unfortunate refugees to our shores,
so that we should help them and grant them a safe haven, where they will find
peace and tranquility. This is our mission in life. Let us not betray it.”
Prof. Kotsuji practiced what he
preached, and much of the humane treatment the Japanese accorded the Jewish
refugees may be attributed to his efforts. When a delegation comprising the
leaders of the Jewish refugees, headed by the Amshinover Rebbe and Rabbi Moshe
Shatzkes, met with Japanese government representatives in Tokyo, they were
greatly aided by Prof. Kotsuji who acted as their mediator and translator. As a
result of his intervention, the Japanese improved their attitude toward the
Jewish refugees and withstood Germany's pressure to banish the Jews from Japan,
at least temporarily.
In 1941, when the Japanese
government changed its attitude and banished the Jewish refugees to Shanghai, he
continued to maintain warm and active ties with the Jews. Even though Japan was
relatively empty of Jews at that time, he still delivered lectures on the
positive contributions of the Jewish people. However, such activity was
particular risky since the Japanese government was led by a pro-Nazi
nationalist group which wrathfully persecuted all of its opponents. But this
did not deter Prof. Kotsuji, who spoke out against the Nazis nonetheless. When
the publisher of his book asked him to delete the denouncements of the Nazis,
Prof. Kotsuji refused.
TRUE DEDICATION
Many warned Prof.
Kotsuji that he was risking his life by publishing such material and delivering
his lectures. But the courageous professor paid no attention to them. Towards
the end of 1942, the Japanese Bureau of Investigation began to believe the
German reports that Jewish subversives were planning to gain control of the
world, and they accused Prof. Kotsuji of abetting Japan's enemies, the Jews.
Prof. Kotsuji was
arrested and interrogated under torture, in which his interrogators demanded
that he reveal his role in the plot. When he said that there was no such group
of Jewish subversives, and that it was all a figment of the imaginations of the
anti-Semites, he was further tortured to the point that his life was in danger.
Then a miracle occurred. At the peak
of the interrogation, a high-ranking Japanese colonel who knew Prof. Kotsuji
very well, visited the prison where the professor was being held. The colonel
was startled to see the scholarly professor, one of Japan's most respected
academics, incarcerated on blatantly false charges and locked up with
criminals. Immediately, the colonel demanded that Prof. Kotsuji be released,
and that all of the charges against him be dropped.
This incident heightened Prof.
Kotsuji's already strong belief in God.
AFTER THE WAR
After the war was over, the Jewish
refugees who had left the Far East remained in close contact with Prof.
Kotsuji. When the American army arrived in Japan, Prof. Kotsuji became friendly
with its chaplain, the observant Rabbi Mental, who taught him more about
Judaism.
A few years later, Prof. Kotsuji
finished his translation of The Song of Songs, a project which enabled him to
better understand the relationship between God and the Jewish people.
Prof. Kotsuji continued to
correspond with his friends from the Kobe period - the sages of the Mirrer
Yeshivah. When he felt that he was ready to lead a fully observant life, he
informed these friends that he would be coming to Jerusalem to convert.
In1959, the 60-year-old Professor
Setzuso Kotsuji was warmly welcomed to the Jewish faith by his friends from the
Mir and named Avraham ben Avraham Kotsuji.
Professor Avraham Kotsuji spent the
final years of his life in a religious community in Brooklyn. During that
period, he was ill and penniless. The heads of the Mirrer Yeshivah formed a
special committee which rallied to his aid and raised money to support him.
Professor Kotsuji passed away on the
5th of Cheshvan, 5734/1974, in the United States. In accordance with his will,
his was buried in Jerusalem's Har HaMenuchos cemetery. His funeral was attended
by a large throng of leading rabbis, communal leaders and students of the
Mirrer Yeshivah.
Avraham ben Avraham Kotsuji will go
down in history first as one of the world's most outstanding righteous
gentiles, and then as one of Jewry's most outstanding converts. His total
dedication to the Jewish people and his willingness to risk his life for them
is an everlasting source of inspiration and a pure Kiddush Hashem.
May his name be blessed forever.
The Jew who saved hundreds of Jews from the Nazis (photos in
link)
By Liron Cohen
Enzo
Cavaglion was in his early 20s when he fought Nazis and fascists as part of an
Italian partisan group; together with his brother, Riccardo, he helped more
than 1,000 Jews who sought refuge in villages around the northern Italian city
of Cuneo, putting his own life at risk. Now, at the age of 98, he is honored
with the Jewish Rescuers Citation, which aims to correct the misconception that
Jews didn’t rescue fellow Jews during the Holocaust.
At
the age of 98, about 75 years after saving the lives of hundreds Jewish
refugees in northern Italy during the German occupation, Enzo Cavaglion has
been officially honored with the Jewish Rescuers Citation. The citation was
presented to him last week in the country where he was born, lived all his
life, fought the Nazis and saved fellow Jews.
Cavaglion helped more than 1,000 Jewish refugees who had sought
refuge after fleeing the remote Italian-occupied French Alpine village of
Saint-Martin-Vesubie in the face of the German army that invaded the area
following the announcement of the armistice signed between Italy and the
Allies.
Enzo Cavaglion receives the citation from Alan Schneider. Proud
and excited
The Jewish Rescuers Citation, which he received on January 21 from
B'nai B'rith World Center-Jerusalem and the Committee to Recognize the Heroism
of Jews who Rescued Fellow Jews During the Holocaust, has been presented in an
effort to correct the public misconception that Jews did not rescue fellow Jews
during the Holocaust.
Cavaglion, who was in his 20s at the time, was one of the 14
founding members of partisan group “Italia Libera” (Free Italy), led by
anti-Fascist lawyer Duccio Galimberti, which was established on September 12,
1943—the same day that Cuneo, Italy was occupied by the German First SS Panzer
Division.
They group members ensconced themselves in the sanctuary of the
Madonna del Colletto, 18 kilometers to the west of Cuneo. Enzo and his younger
brother, Riccardo Cavaglion, stayed with the group until October 1943, when
they had to leave to help their own families escape arrest in Cuneo.
A daring theft of identity
cards from mayor’s office
In addition to the combat they waged against the Germans and
Italian fascists, Enzo and Riccardo also helped Jews who sought refuge in
villages around Cuneo, putting their own lives at risk.
Men, women, children, the elderly and disabled scaled the Maritime
Alps over the international border into Italy in a harrowing ordeal, only to
find the Germans already roaming the area. About 300 people were captured and
sent to Auschwitz. The remaining 700 found refuge among the welcoming local
peasant population. Enzo and Riccardo found hiding places for them, furnished
them with the necessary documents and hid them in the mountains in order to
evade the Nazis.
Holocaust Survivor Harry Burger credited Enzo and Riccardo with
saving his life and his mother’s life by warning them that the Nazis were
hunting for them.
Survivor Alfred Feldman wrote in his memoir, “One Step Ahead: A
Jewish Fugitive in Hitler’s Europe,” that he witnessed a daring theft of
identity cards by Enzo and Riccardo from the mayor’s office in Vignolo, Italy,
that were then falsified and distributed to some of the refugees. Enzo
performed all of these activities despite the additional danger he faced as a
result.
Nearly 200 Jews have been
honored
The citation was presented to Cavaglion in his home, and the event
was followed by a ceremony at the Cuneo synagogue. Speakers included Enzo’s
son, Dr. Alberto Cavaglion, and B'nai B'rith World Center Director Alan
Schneider.
“It’s a privilege to award you with the Jewish Rescuers Citation,
continuing our 20-year effort to correct the historical narrative that Jews did
not work to rescue other Jews during the Holocaust,” Schneider told Cavaglion.
Enzo said he was proud and excited to receive the citation. He had
tears in his eyes as he remembered the Jews he had met and helped on the
Italian side. After the war, Cavaglion remained in Italy, where he and his
brother Riccardo owned a carpet store for many years.
Since its establishment in 2011, nearly 200 heroes have been
honored with the Jewish Rescuers Citation for rescue activities in Germany,
France, Hungary, Greece, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Russia, Lithuania, Poland,
Holland and now Italy.
I
received a number of questions recently.
Question: Three times the Torah
writes about the prohibition of cooking milk and meat together. I work in a
fast food place. I do not cook milk
and milk together but for the burritos, I mix cold the meat and the milk and
pass it on to the cook. Is this permitted? I work in a predominately non-Jewish
area (black ghetto). Am I allowed to serve the people the burritos? Another
case would be somebody owning shares of a fast food storm chain like Wendy’s,
Mac Donald’s or Burger King? Or owning funds that invest in these stores?
The
answer is not the easiest to answer. For the person asking is telling me that a job is needed to make ends meet and put food on the table or pay the rent. Now we all know that employment comes from HASHEM. But what if the only job available is that working in a Trafe Restaurant but not disturbing Shabbos or Yom Tov? I personally would try to avoid such employment and even look for a lesser source for my personal honor like working for a sewer cleaning company even.
Is there a Hetir for such a person? So let us see that when we put into a garbage bin we are mixing milk and meat. We
do not cook the milk and meat together. If we are certain that in the end
delivery or waiting upon is with non-Jews then there is no problem. With the
investment one is having a billionth part or a millionth part of the company,
which could just as easily go to the kosher branches in Modiin, Yerushalayim,
and other places. Since there are profits derived from coffee, lemonade, soda
and salads and not necessarily cheese burgers or other items with meat and
cheese together.
A Question was asked: Should I sell my stocks after the panic of
the last few sessions?
To answer that one has to see if he/she is in for a long or short
term in the market. But also analyze the situation in depth as a Rabbi should
analyze a Halachic question.
January was an exceptionally
good month and it appears as though those gains were largely "given
back" yesterday (5.2.18). The S&P 500 is now just a little below its
31 December 2017 level. Why is this happening?
1. Markets
tend to panic.
2. The
possibility of the new Fed Chairman being tested by markets.
3. Big price
moves may indicate heavy computer driven trading.
4. The
market was high and primed for a quick sell off, especially after January's
gains.
5. Significant
short positions on the VIX (volatility index). If you are the investor figure
this out yourself after you analyse the positions like a Rabbi does.
Tuesday evening, my oldest
granddaughter came home from her Nationwide Israeli Tax adviser test. Right in
front of her, an eight-year-old boy ran from behind the bus to pass over the
street right in front of a car going at high speed. He never stood a chance. He
was trapped under the wheels, given artificial respiration, rushed to the
hospital but no efforts of the paramedics and doctors could bring back his holy
soul into his body. The biggest killer in Israel is not the wars but traffic
accidents. “During time of war, the Angel of Death has the right of way in the
middle of the road.” – Baba Kama 60B.

From the time of Avraham or perhaps Adam: We do not know the name of the astronomer. Nor do we know precisely
when, where, or how the discovery was made. But we do know that, 2½ millennia
ago, a Babylonian astronomer realized that eclipses come in cycles that are
6,585 days long. Today, Babylon — once the largest city in the world — lies in
ruins. But the eclipse cycles, which we call the saros, continue to
beat their slow, relentless rhythm. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/saros-cycle-solar-eclipse-lunar-eclipse/?k=y7iYdgdgNEcryZykJxAlQsIoKGjrWyV7OQsq74QXfao%3D&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=sky-jma-nl-180126

Last but not least, I got a question from a young
lady. How do I start learning Judaism I am in a place without too many Jews.
The answer comes from Perkei Avos and Devarim (Deut.) 30:14 It is close unto
you and not across the sea to do it. I told her read my blogspot which has
Torah and stories of Jews that will give you an idea what Judaism is about.
