Parsha Vayikra
Another name for Sefer Vayikra is
Toras Cohanim. For this Sefer has a tremendous amount of writing about the
holiness of the Cohanim, Korbanos and what relationships are permitted and
forbidden.
1:1 And the LORD called unto
Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying: 2 Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man of you bring an
offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the
herd or of the flock.
A regular Korban comes from cattle,
sheep or goats. There are some exceptions of a woman who gave birth with a male
or female pigeon or the dirt poor person with an offering from flour.
3 If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall
offer it a male without blemish; he shall bring it to the door of the tent of
meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.
Without blemish means not inferior
quality but that of one of the best of the bulls. It shall be male for the
Korban Oleh as it shall be turned into smoke a sweet smelling offering before
the L-RD.
4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the
burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for
him.
The Semicha of the hands on the
Korban makes it his or replacing him as a sacrifice that he may live.
5 And he shall ritually slaughter the
bullock before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the
blood, and dash the blood roundabout against the altar that is at the door of
the tent of meeting.
The blood of the Korban is the
vitality of life and makes him a representative of the individual.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its
pieces.
Like any Korban he shall flay and
cut the burnt offering into pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the
altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire. 8 And
Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, and the head, and the suet, in
order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; 9 but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water; and
the priest shall make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
Even though it is a Korban Olah,
the pieces are arranged as if it were to be eaten – as if G-D needs food but
symbolically that the atonement is accepted.
10 And if his offering be of the flock, whether of
the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it a male
without blemish.
For the L-RD the Korbanos have to
be from the best of the sheep or goats, that are fatter, stronger, good looking
and all over healthy.
11 And he shall ritually slaughter it
on the side of the altar northward before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the
priests, shall dash its blood against the altar roundabout. The Chabad translation is better. And he
shall slaughter it on the northern side of the altar, before the Lord. And
Aaron's descendants, the kohanim, shall dash its blood upon the altar, around.
The 1917 Hebrew Translation is
based on the King James Bible but with a Jewish proper twist that is why we get
kill instead of slaughter. As for Chapter and Verse, a Priest did it so often
it has no relation with a Jewish Pasuk break and sometimes is done to stop the
reading at a Christian Point.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces; and the priest shall
lay them, with its head and its suet, in order on the wood that is on the fire
which is upon the altar. 13 But the inwards and the
legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and make
it smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savor unto the LORD.
Similar to the cattle brought by a
congregation or a rich person, the average person brings a goat or a sheep.
14 And if his offering to the LORD be a burnt-offering of
fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young
pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it unto the
altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke on the altar; and the blood
thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
A very poor man or a woman after
childbirth brings pigeons. The pigeon is slaughtered with a sharp thumbnail and
the act is called Maleeka.
16 And he shall take away its crop with the feathers thereof,
and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.
So everything burns.
17 And he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not
divide it asunder; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar, upon the
wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savor unto the LORD. 2:1 And when any
one brings a meal-offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour;
and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon.
The poorest person who is just
above the soup kitchen.
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the
priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and
of the oil thereof, together with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest
shall make the memorial-part thereof smoke upon the altar, an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
The amount of flour is that which
fits into 3 bent over middle fingers worth of flour. The act of doing this and
with the other fingers removing excess flour is called Kamitza.
3 But that which is left of the
meal-offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of the
offerings of the LORD made by fire.
The Cohanim have free use in
holiness of the remaining flour.
4 And when thou bring a meal-offering baked
in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or
unleavened wafers spread with oil.
5 And if thy offering be a meal-offering
baked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with
oil. 6 Thou shalt break it in pieces, and pour oil thereon; it is a
meal-offering.
7 And if thy offering be a meal-offering of
the stewing-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And thou
shalt bring the meal-offering that is made of these things unto the LORD; and
it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto the
altar. 9 And the priest shall take off from the meal-offering the
memorial-part thereof, and shall make it smoke upon the altar--an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD. 10 But that which is left of
the meal-offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of
the offerings of the LORD made by fire. 11 No meal-offering, which ye
shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven; for ye shall make no
leaven, nor any honey, smoke as an offering made by fire unto the
LORD. 12 As an offering of first-fruits ye may bring them unto the
LORD; but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar. 13 And
every meal-offering of thine shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou
suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy
meal-offering; with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14 And if thou bring a meal-offering of
first-fruits unto the LORD, thou shalt bring for the meal-offering of thy
first-fruits corn in the ear parched with fire, even groats of the fresh
ear. 15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon;
it is a meal-offering. 16 And the priest shall make the memorial-part
of it smoke, even of the groats thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the
frankincense thereof; it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
3:1 And if his offering be a sacrifice of peace-offerings: if he
offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish
before the LORD. 2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his
offering, and slaughter it at the door of the tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons
the priests shall dash the blood against the altar round about. 3 And
he shall present of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire
unto the LORD: the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
the inwards, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them,
which is by the loins, and the lobe above the liver, which he shall take away
hard by the kidneys. 5 And Aaron's sons shall make it smoke on the
altar upon the burnt-offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire; it
is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
The Korban Shlomim is called a
peace-offering it can be a Korban Pesach, a thanksgiving Korban after crossing
the sea or desert which we bench Gomel prayer today. All the Korbanos like the
Chatas for sins with Kares or death penalties such as forgetting it was Shabbos
or Yom Tov or being married to a woman let us call her X123 and the man has an
aunt or sister called 123 and in the night whispers X123 I love you and in the
morning finds out that there was an accidental horrible mistake. Also Asham or guilt
and Asham Talouie guilt with conditions.
Rabbi B. Wein copywrite 2020 at the
Torah.org writes:
A call for Human
Sacrifice by Rabbi Beryl Wein
One of the categories of sacrifices that are described in this
week's Torah reading describes the offerings that are meant to bring about
forgiveness for sins that one committed inadvertently. The Torah details for us
how the sacrifice was to be brought, and what its effects regarding forgiveness
from Heaven would then occur.
Even though we live in a time when such animal sacrifices are
not possible, one of the main lessons which is pertinent to us is that all
forgiveness for wrongdoing requires true "sacrifice" on the part of
the perpetrator of the sin. There is no free lunch involved here. The ability
to request forgiveness for wrongdoing is completely contingent upon the true
contrite feelings of the sinner.
And in our time, being remorseful can be expressed by one's
willingness to sacrifice one's own time, wealth, abilities, and even social
standing, to achieve the forgiveness so necessary for spiritual and physical
survival. In many ways, we are accustomed to sacrifice to achieve goals that we
have set for ourselves. We are willing to sacrifice much of our youth and its
pleasures, in the hope that we will survive and live comfortably and nicely in
our later years. We restrain ourselves, no matter how strong our desires may
be, in the hope and belief that this will somehow bring us to a better future.
We understand fully that without sacrifice, it is useless to expect
forgiveness. And since human beings are, by their nature, imperfect, we are
engaged in a continual process of sacrifice and self-restraint.
Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon – Rambam - expresses the idea that the
sacrifice of an animal on the altar of the Temple should engender in the mind
of the sinner who brought forth the sacrifice that the sinner himself or
herself should be brought on the altar. The animal being sacrificed is to be
seen merely as a substitute for one's own self in attempting to redress past
wrongs and trying to engender heavenly forgiveness for transgressions and sins.
Even though we no longer can bring such animal sacrifices on the
altar of the Temple, we, nevertheless, can perceive ourselves as being the
necessary sacrifice to accomplish our atonement and forgiveness. And this can
only be accomplished through regret for the past misdeeds and the stronger
permanent commitment of restraint over our future actions and behavior.
It is this deep understanding that we ourselves are the
sacrifice that can bring us to a true attainment of forgiveness, in terms of
heavenly judgment. In so doing, no detail of our behavior and actions can be
considered insignificant or unimportant.
Just as the animal sacrifice cannot contain any blemish or
imperfection, so, too, the mental, spiritual, and physical sacrifice entailed
in obtaining forgiveness for our sins must be, as far as humanly possible, free
from blemish and imperfection. This is a lofty goal to achieve, but it is the
only sure path to goodness in life in this world and to the achievement of
eternity in the Next World.
6 And if his offering for a
sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD be of the flock, male or female, he
shall offer it without blemish. 7 If he bring a lamb for his offering,
then shall he present it before the LORD. 8 And he shall lay his hand
upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and
Aaron's sons shall dash the blood thereof against the altar round
about. 9 And he shall present of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an
offering made by fire unto the LORD: the fat thereof, the fat tail entire,
which he shall take away hard by the rump-bone; and the fat that covers the
inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 10 and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe
above the liver, which he shall take away by the kidneys. 11 And the
priest shall make it smoke upon the altar; it is the food of the offering made
by fire unto the LORD.
Of course the L-RD has no need to
eat but likes a nice gesture.
12 And if his offering be a goat, then he shall present it
before the LORD. 13 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it,
and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall dash the
blood thereof against the altar round about. 14 And he shall present
thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD: the fat that
covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 15 and
the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the
lobe above the liver, which he shall take away by the kidneys. 16 And
the priest shall make them smoke upon the altar; it is the food of the offering
made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is the LORD'S. 17 It
shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings,
that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.
No blood in meat, blood spots in eggs
but fish blood is considered like juice.
The following is sinning through error like accidently
doing work on Shabbos or forgetting it was Shabbos. 4:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying: If any one shall sin through error, in any of the things which
the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of
them: 3 if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the
people, then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock
without blemish unto the LORD for a sin-offering. 4 And he shall bring
the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD; and he shall
lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the
LORD.
… 13 And
if the whole congregation of Israel shall err, the thing being hid from the
eyes of the assembly, and do any of the things which the LORD hath commanded
not to be done, and are guilty:
This
happens when the local people forget or even the Sanhedrin error in Halacha.
The Gemara in Shabbos first chapter asks about carrying a knife to slaughter an
animals on Shabbos. Hillel and Shammai did not remember how to carry the
slaughter knives on Shabbos to slaughter the Korban Pesach. They saw the people
hiding the knives within the wool of the sheep or goats. Finally two weavers
testified in the names of Shemaya and Avtallion, that hiding the knife in the
wool was Halacha.
14 when
the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a
young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent of
meeting. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands
upon the head of the bullock before the LORD; and the bullock shall be killed
before the LORD. … 22 When a ruler sins, and doeth
through error any one of all the things which the LORD his God hath commanded
not to be done, and is guilty:
The
King is special and has different and he is the Shaliach for the whole nation
so the eyes are upon him.
23 if
his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be known to him, he shall bring for his
offering a goat, a male without blemish. 24 And he
shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where
they kill the burnt-offering before the LORD; it is a sin-offering. 25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering
with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and
the remaining blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of
burnt-offering. 26 And all the fat thereof shall he
make smoke upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and
the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be
forgiven. 27 And if any one of the common people sin
through error, in doing any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to
be done, and be guilty: 28 if his sin, which he hath
sinned, be known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female
without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned. 29 And
he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill the
sin-offering in the place of burnt-offering. 30 And
the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the
horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and all the remaining blood thereof shall
he pour out at the base of the altar. 31 And all the
fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice
of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar for a
sweet savor unto the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he
shall be forgiven. … 5:17 And
if any one sin, and do any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to
be done, though he know it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his
iniquity. 18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the
flock, according to thy valuation, for a guilt-offering, unto the priest; and
the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the error which he committed,
though he knew it not, and he shall be forgiven. 19 It is a
guilt-offering--he is certainly guilty before the LORD.
Now below we have a different type
of guilt as above it was accidently either with a congregation or ruler
misunderstanding a Halacha. However, trespass on holy objects or items or stealing
is not in usual in error. Although one could think that the Holy was Chullin or
the stolen item lost in certain cases but in most cases not.
20 And the LORD spoke unto
Moses, saying: 21 If any one sin, and commit a trespass against the
LORD, and deal falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of pledge,
or of robbery, or have oppressed his neighbor; 22 or have found that
which was lost, and deal falsely therein, and swear to a lie; in any of all
these that a man doeth, sinning therein; 23 then it shall be, if he
hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by
robbery, or the thing which he hath gotten by oppression, or the deposit which
was deposited with him, or the lost thing which he found, 24 or anything
about which he hath sworn falsely, he shall even restore it in full, and shall
add the fifth part more thereto; unto him to whom it appertains shall he give
it, in the day of his being guilty. 25 And he shall bring his forfeit
unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy
valuation, for a guilt-offering, unto the priest. 26 And the priest
shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven,
concerning whatsoever he doeth so as to be guilty thereby.

Leading 100 Jews out of the Ukraine. By Dr. Yvette Alt
Miller.
https://aish.com/leading-100-jews-out-of-ukraine/
I’m in Belarus,” explains Rabbi Nisan Podolsky, just days after escaping
from war-ravaged Ukraine. “We’re still working on getting more people out.
We’re not resting here.”
In an Aish.com interview, Rabbi Podolsky recounted the harrowing trip he
and a hundred other Jews made last Shabbat as they escaped from Ukraine.
Born in Jerusalem, Rabbi Podolsky is a member of the Karlin-Stolin Hasidic
group that was founded in the 1700s in present-day Belarus. Known for their
piety, hospitality, and devotion in prayer, these Hasidic Jews live in Israel
and around the world, while Rabbi Boruch Meir Yaakov Shochet, their rebbe,
resides in Jerusalem. In the years since the end of Communism, some Jews in
Belarus and Ukraine have revived the region’s once-vibrant community.
In Kyiv, they have
flourished. “We have shuls, schools, and a dormitory yeshiva,” Rabbi Podolsky
explains. Rabbi Podolsky lived in Kyiv with his wife Shevy and their six
children; the youngest two are 10-week-old twin girls. They joined over a
hundred other Karlin-Stolin Jews in Kyiv, including 50 students in the
community’s schools. Other Jews would “pop in once in a while to community
events to feel a Jewish connection.”
As Russia built up its
troops along Ukraine’s borders throughout February, many Ukrainians refused to
believe their neighbor would actually invade. Residents in Kyiv, the capital,
knew they would be the prime target of any invasion, but the thought that their
country would actually come under attack seemed impossible.
In Jerusalem, Rabbi
Shochet took the threat of a Russian invasion seriously. He sent an urgent
message to Rabbi Podolsky telling him that he and his whole community must
leave Kyiv immediately.
At the time, people
were looking at us like we were crazy,” Rabbi Podolsky recalls. Their neighbors
asked, “Why are you leaving the city? It looks okay.” Undaunted, Rabbi Podolsky
and hundred other Karlin-Stolin Jews moved from Kyiv to the small village of
Medzhybizh in Ukraine where they
thought they wouldn’t be a prime target.
Medzhybizh is more
west than Kyiv and smaller, so it felt safer,” Rabbi Podolsky notes. Medzhybizh
is the birthplace of the Baal Shem Tov, (c1699-1760), the founder of the Hasidic
movement. For that reason, many Jewish tourists visit the town. “We rented out
the big kosher hotel that’s there for the Jewish tourists who come.”
For two weeks, he and
his congregants – students, adults and entire families – waited to see if
Russia would invade. Local residents thought the group of Jews awaiting an
invasion seemed crazy.
On Thursday, February
24, the invasion began. “I woke up very
early that morning,” Rabbi Podolsky recalls. “I checked the news and heard that
President Putin was giving a speech. I knew something was going to happen. At 6
AM I went outside and saw planes flying overhead and heard explosions in the
distance.” He knew that remaining in Ukraine – even in a small town like
Mezhyrich – was no longer safe.
We started to think
about our options.” The group had several cars with them, but not enough to
take everyone to safety. They chartered a bus with a driver, but instead of
reporting for work, the driver raced to check on his own family once the
invasion began. The Jews in Medzhybizh were stranded.
Friday came and amid
the ongoing war, Rabbi Podolsky started making plans for Shabbat. “The roads
were all blocked; there were checkpoints.” It seemed their driver would never
return. The driver finally returned and Rabbi Podolsky knew they had to leave
immediately. Driving or traveling in a bus on Shabbat is prohibited but when
human life is at stake, it’s permissible. After double-checking with another
rabbi that this was indeed a matter of life and death, Rabbi Podolsky urged his
congregants to get onto the bus. “We left half an hour after candle lighting…
we had a whole convoy of the bus and cars.”
The trip was
harrowing. They stopped at checkpoints and shared the roads with tanks and
cannons. In the distance they heard shooting. “It was really scary; we were in
the middle of a war,” Rabbi Podolsky recalls. The terrified Jews recited the
Shabbat evening prayers on the bus that was their only hope for freedom,
welcoming in Shabbat and making Kiddush.
They headed to
Belarus. “It sounded crazy because everyone was trying to drive to the European
Union,” Rabbi Podolsky recalls. Belarus is closely allied with Russia: they
speculated that the guards on the Belarusian border might not be expecting
refugees and would let them through, but they couldn’t be sure. “When our
convoy finally arrived at the Belarusian border at 2 AM, the guards opened the
gates for us. We were finally safe.” Hours later, the Belarus border was
closed.
Local Jews had
reserved hotel rooms near the border and supplied them with Shabbat food,
challah and wine. It was an emotional moment. One member of the group recited
the Jewish prayer of thanksgiving, said after experiencing a narrow, life-saving
escape, and the entire congregation responded with a heartfelt Amen.
This group of Jews has
moved on to the Belarusian city of Pinsk, where the local Karlin-Stolin
community is putting them up. Rabbi Podolsky is continuing to bring more Jews out of Ukraine. “I got four buses
out today to Moldova,” he said during an Aish.com interview on Wednesday, March
2. “We’re still bringing people out of Kyiv – I’m on the phone right now with an
elderly lady trying to convince her that it will be okay, that the journey will
be okay.” Even with Kyiv and other key Ukrainian cities coming under siege by
Russian forces, Rabbi Podolsky refuses to give up his life-saving work.
People are asking for
help. We’re working on arranging buses.” He notes that it’s incredibly
difficult to find drivers willing to risk their lives to ferry refugees to
safety, and the cost of hiring drivers is tremendous. Once refugees are out of
Ukraine, they require assistance. “Everyone left everything behind,” Rabbi
Podolsky explains.
Rabbi Podolsky has set
up an emergency fund to help his life-saving work rescue Ukrainian Jews. To

Moved by a Esther
Horgen's murder HY"D. By Dalit
מצווה גוררת מצווה
More
than a year ago on a winter day I drove from the settlement to work. It was one
o'clock in the morning.
In
the middle of the way I listened to the news and it was said that she was
murdered in the northern Samaria settlement Tal Menashe... She is Esther Horgen.
My
hand turned into a punch and I hit hard on the wheel.
A
response is not typical to me
Something
hit me in the heart... Strong
Something
cried... : How does such a thing happen to us???
Then
like all the people of Israel I followed, I cried...
When
I saw her picture I saw a beautiful woman. Mother of 6 children is a dual and
artistic caregiver. I was born in the same month and the same year I was born.
I
felt a connection close to her and I woke up in the desire to draw her.
I
proposed to the chairman of the committee in our settlement to print and give
from our settlement to its settlement as a participation in their grief. But I
still haven't painted and our settlement chose other gifts...
When
I drew the drawing, it got over 2400 likes in the group, I did it with my own
hands.
… fast forward.
And
in the meantime the painting was placed in my studio
I
decided to assume him.. In the sense of sourness. Approaching family was not an
option in my opinion.
How
did I feel about a family that just passed through a disaster? What a huge loss
has happened... What do they care about drawing??!!
And
then a friend who walked with me suggested: turn to him to her almanac...
On
Thursday I married to the love of my heart and soul Esther's Alman (widower)
and my best friend... My beloved husband Benjamin Horgen.
We've
come a long way through tears, acquaintance, friendship, joy, sharing and great
love I met a beautiful noble man who lives in faith, sees the best in
everything, a dedicated and sensitive father to his wonderful children. Acted
in endless ways for the remembrance of his beloved wife that everyone knew how
wonderful she was, and no less important work in Israel and beyond her so that
such cases will not happen to us again and this is by strengthening the power of
deterrence, stopping sources of terrorist funding, raising awareness and
strengthening the support of Israel of public leaders in Europe And in the
world and adding light...
In
addition to him I have been blessed with an amazing large family of truly beautiful
and noble people! His father and wife, his charming talented and beautiful
children and grandchildren! Who accepted me despite the enormous difficulty.
His brother and sister and their family and his extended family and her dear
family of Esther who is now family, and also wonderful and close friends.
I
thank God for his mercy.
I
thank my very dear family, my parents, my brother and all my relatives and
friends and my beloved children who are always with me throughout the Daniel Arnon Tal Arnon Tamari to
my dear groom Meir Tamari
and to my beloved granddaughter. - Dalit Horgen
THIS IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF
MITZVAH CAUSES A MITZVAH. Heb. Mitzvah Goraires Mitzvah.
The Poor and Hungry
Boy in the Russian Cold thanks to Devorah Channah Adney
This
happened several years ago, in the midst of Chanukah. In Moscow, a large
Chanukah party was held for the Jewish community, which was attended by Rabbi
Berl Lazar Shlita- the Chief Rabbi of Russia to this day, and the President of
Russia – Mr. Vladimir Putin.
The
Chief Rabbi held a speech on Chanukah eve, after which the President was given
the honor to speak in the presence of the large crowd that had gathered there.
Putin
stood up to speak and surprised the crowd:
“Please
listen, Jews, as I want to tell you a real story that happened here in Russia,
I’m familiar with all its details.
“A
poor family lived in one of the neighborhoods – two parents and one small
child. The parents worked hard from morning until night to make a living, while
their child returned to an empty and lonely home until his parents came back.
He sat in the small, dark house, hungry and lonely, joyless, with nothing to
do, until his parents came home and gave him some food.
“And
there, in their neighborhood, lived a modest and good Jewish family. Every time
they saw the little boy waiting alone in the house, they would approach him and
ask him if he had anything to eat. In most cases, he would say no, and they
immediately did their best to ensure he had warm and delicious food to eat,
without ever asking for anything in return.
“On
Shabbats and Jewish holidays, they invited him to their home and served him
delicacies and meats, all out of the goodness of their generous hearts, they
were compassionate and always looked for ways to make him feel better.
“So
for a long time, the non-Jewish boy became a part of the family in their home,
he received a large portion of food, same as the rest of the family members.
When the Jews saw that the boy’s clothes were ripped, they made sure to give
him warm and cozy clothes suited for the Russian cold. This kid didn’t know how
to thank them, they just saved his life every day.
“Dozens
of non-Jewish neighbors who knew about this, didn’t even pay him any attention,
and it was only this family that cared for others, and were looking at what was
happening around them, who saved his miserable soul.”
President
Putin ended his speech with a shocking revelation and said, “Dear Jews, do you
want me to tell you who that poor, miserable boy was whose life was enlightened
by Jews?”
Then
he went on to say:
“This
was me… and I will never be able to forget the sympathy and compassion of the
Jews that cared for me.
"To
this day, I can still hear the melody of the meal hand-washing blessing,
Hamotzi, and Birkat Hamazon said by the family members whenever I attended
their Shabbat and holiday meals.
“I
don’t forget, dear Jews, the good you’ve done to me, I am the president of the
superpower that is Russia, and hence, our relationship is so good, it’s all
thanks to how much you care about the others, and the poor!” Putin declared
excitedly.
[Taken
from the book “Mashcheni Achareycha by Rabbi Reuven Elbaz. Putin also mentions
this family in his autobiography].
In gratitude, Vladimir Putin bought
an apartment for his Jewish Mama when she moved to Israel. He has now inherited
it in return.
From a man calling
himself "Daas Torah". 32 years in Kharkov.
From the Chabad Emissary to the city of Kharkov of Ukraine:
It says that on Shabbat you are not supposed to cry, this
Shabbat I can't even count how many times I failed.
But let me first share how much has happened this past week.
Last Sunday morning, we heard that the Russian tanks had
entered Kharkov. The bombings were getting louder and everyone in Kharkov were
ordered to stay at home. A Russian tank was blown up next to the synagogue and
shootings could be heard throughout the city. After a big battle the Russian
forces were out of the city and we hoped we would now have quiet.
But Monday morning rockets started flying throughout the
city. Buildings, hospitals, schools. The curfew was lifted for a few hours and
I managed with my husband and my children to get to the synagogue to deal with
the thousands of calls and messages of people desperate for food, medicine and
how to escape from the city. The whole day people streamed into the synagogue
to move into the basement. A place where they knew they would get food and
shelter and a feeling of togetherness.
Tuesday morning at 8am we heard a gigantic boom. The
government building on the Freedom Square was bombed and a few minutes later we
heard an explosion. The whole house shook as we huddled together in our
basement where we have been living for a week. Close. Very close. The street is
full of smoke. We sneak outside to see the fire engines. A direct missile
strike two doors from our house. Very close.
The whole day aerial strikes rain down on the city. As we
once again go to the synagogue, the sound of explosions, rockets and shooting
in background the tragedy becomes bigger. More people trapped without food and
medicine and water. Our brave driver goes to bring hot food to the 95 year old
man on the sixth floor. The Israeli family that were five days in the
underground subway station finally moved into the synagogue. The phones keep
ringing. The heart breaks as we know we can't help everyone. We make it home
just as the curfew starts. Our beautiful city is being destroyed. Lives are
lost. Desperate for the miracle we have been praying for.
An explosion. Our kindergarten and school has had all its
windows and doors blown out. Our school, where just a week ago we celebrated 30
years since its opening. With 400 happy children with balloons and flowers. In
the same dining room where they sang "Oseh Shalom"(He should make
peace) there was now glass and destruction.
Wednesday morning, we realize we have to leave with all the
other ten families from Kharkov to a nearby city of Dnieper. From there we will
continue to help Kharkov.
We pack up our lives of the past 32 years into 3 suitcases.
Trying to decide what we need …what we could live without.
The morning bombings start again but I go with my husband to
the synagogue.
I go down to the basement where everyone is sleeping on
mattresses on the floor. I tell Ola the cook that we will be back soon. We cry.
I really want to be back soon. My husband goes up to kiss the curtain of the
Aron Kodesh. To let Him know that we are coming back. This synagogue where just
a month ago we celebrated our daughter's wedding with 500 people. This
synagogue which was closed for seventy years under Communist rule and was used
as a sports complex. This synagogue has to keep its light burning…
We leave our home. No time to deal with all the emotions. As
we hear explosions and bombings in the distance we get in the van. We drive out
of Kharkov and see all the damage. Heartbreaking.
"Repeat after me…" I tell my children and
grandchildren. The prayer for a safe trip 'tefillas haderech'. I add the line
"vetachazireinu leshalom"(and to return in peace) with tears. So want
to return.
In Dnieper we are treated like kings thanks to the community
and have our first night sleep without any bombings. But we realize the next
day we have to move on.
We travel for over 24 hours through checkpoints and borders
till we arrive in Kishinev where we stay for Shabbat.
We are used to being the ones who are giving. Now we are the ones
on the receiving end, thanking the Chabad shluchim (emissaries) of Kishinev for
their hospitality.
Shabbat Chazak. Last week in Kharkov. This week in Kishinev
The tears?
Lighting Shabbat candles knowing that throughout the world I
am joined with girls and women praying that there should be peace in Ukraine.
That we should be able to continue our Shlichus. That this should be the last
moments of this exile. That we should have strength. Chazak.
Sitting at the Friday night meal together with over a hundred
other Jews young and old from all over Ukraine. All so unsure of their future.
All so wanting to be home.
And the tears flow when I see my fellow shluchim, the
families who have worked side by side with us all these years to build our
beautiful community known for its unity and warmth…who could not bring
themselves to leave Kharkov behind…and now we are all going to different
corners of the world…"vetachazireinu leshalom"...we will return.
As one by one the men and boys say the Hagomel prayer(the prayer
said when getting out of danger)…everyone in unison said Chazak, Chazak
venitchazek…we should all have strength.
And as all the women and girls joined to make a Shabbat Kalla
for the bride whose wedding was supposed to be next week in Kiev and is on hold
till she can fly to New York we sang and sang.
And everyone was in tears as the young daughters of the
shluchim in Summy sang the song they sang all week when they were scared and
frightened from the bombing and the difficult journey out of their city…"I
believe in Hashem, I trust in Hashem…" and as my young daughter sang the
famous song "Abba"...'bamilchamot shomer aleinu'(In wars He guards
us)
And the moments we couldn't capture.
The dance to "vesomachto vechagecha"(and you should
rejoice on your festivals). "What is the Chag? What is the festival
here?" a surprised journalist asked my husband. "A Chassidic Rebbe's
son wanted a candy so he made the blessing so that his father had no choice and
gave it to him. So too we are celebrating already so Hashem will give us what
to celebrate for" Shavua Tov.
Over one thousand messages waiting…asking to save their
relatives, to send someone food, to make sure there is enough food in the
synagogue to feed all those who come, to arrange the evacuation buses…Kharkov.
We will be back!
The Lubavitcher Rebbe's message of a little light dispelling
the darkness is needed more than ever before. Bombing the world with good
deeds, with the lights of Shabbat candles, with a prayer, tefillin, charity and
kindness. The light will outshine the darkness.
As we board the plane to Israel we pray that today we will be
joined by all of the Jewish nation with the coming of the final redemption
where there will be no wars and suffering.
Vetachazireinu leshalom. We should return in peace. – Rebbitzen Miriam Moskovitz.
