Review of Parsha Matos
The Parsha starts off with women making vows and how a
wise father or husband can cancel them. Last week, http://rabbipauli.blogspot.com/2022/07/review-of-parsha-pinchas-parsha-matos.html I gave reasons why a father would nullify a vow of a
girl under 12years and one day. Or a husband might want to nullify a vow of a
wife.
This comes from Rabbi Pinchas Winston thirtysix.org
The word fadicha is an Arabic word that has made its way into
the Hebrew lexicon. It is used to refer to a slip-up that verges on the
pathetic. Then there is the word fashla, also from Arabic. It means that
something was a disaster, and while fadicha may have a humorous connotation,
there is usually nothing funny about a fashla.
Bringing back the Midianite women as spoils of war
may have seemed like a fadicha, but Moshe’s reaction to it quickly made it into
a fashla, a HUGE fashla:
Moshe said to them, “Did you allow all the females to
live? They were the same ones who were involved with the children of Israel on
Bilaam’s advice to betray God over the incident of Peor, resulting in a plague
among the congregation of God. (Bamidbar 31:15-16)
There was an accounting of spoils
and the Leviim and Cohanim received Terumah and Maaser. There was also the
giving of charity from the spoils and the Mishkan received of the gold and
silver.
The girls that had not known men
were integrated into Am Yisrael and all of us have in our genes some blood from
Midian by this time.
Parsha Massei
This week the Parshiyos being
joined together reconnect the diaspora with Eretz Yisrael. WHENEVER THERE WILL
BE A SANHEDRIN, I WILL DEMAND THAT FOR THE FUTURE AHAREI MOS – KIDDUSHIM SHOULD
BE JOINED TOGETHER OR BEHAR-BECHUKOSAI DEPENDING ON THE YEAR. (Hopefully, in my
life time and of course ble Neder as I know not if or when this will occur or
how long I shall live.)
The tribes of Reuven, Gad and the
children of Machir from Menashe are settling into their new lands. The main
portion of Am Yisrael are on the east bank of the Yarden awaiting orders to
march towards and conquer Yericho.
33:1 These are the
stages of the children of Israel, by which they went forth out of the land of
Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2 And Moses
wrote their goings forth, stage by stage, by the commandment of the LORD; and
these are their stages at their goings forth. 3 And they journeyed
from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the
morrow after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in
the sight of all the Egyptians,
They were armed and carried jewelry of Egypt,
gold, silver and copper for G-D whatever HE might ask.
4 while the Egyptians were burying them that
the LORD had smitten among them, even all their first-born; upon their gods
also the LORD executed judgments.
The average Egyptian was busy burying a first
born either of his own or a close family member.
5 And the children of Israel journeyed from
Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 6 And they journeyed from Succoth,
and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 7 And
they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pihahiroth, which is before
Baal-zephon; and they pitched before Migdol.
42 stops in 39plus years.
…36 And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and
pitched in the wilderness of Zin--the same is Kadesh. 37 And they
journeyed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of
Edom.—
All this in the last year.
38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount
Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after
the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month,
on the first day of the month. 39 And Aaron was a hundred and twenty
and three years old when he died in mount Hor. 40 And the Canaanite,
the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the
coming of the children of Israel.-- 41 And they journeyed from mount
Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 42 And they journeyed from Zalmonah,
and pitched in Punon. 43 And they journeyed from Punon, and pitched
in Oboth. 44 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched in
Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab. 45 And they journeyed from Ijim,
and pitched in Dibon-gad. 46 And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and
pitched in Almon-diblathaim. 47 And they journeyed from
Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, in front of
Nebo. 48 And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched
in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 49 And they pitched
by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of
Moab.
So, they were on the other side of the river
opposite Yarden. 42 steps on the way to Eretz Yisrael.
50 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: 51 'Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan into the
land of Canaan, 52 then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the
land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all
their molten images, and demolish all their high places. 53 And ye
shall drive out the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you
have I given the land to possess it. 54 And ye shall inherit the land
by lot according to your families--to the more ye shall give the more
inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance; wheresoever
the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your
fathers shall ye inherit.
The inhabitants of the land shall be driven out.
55 But if ye will not drive out the
inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let
remain of them be as thorns in your eyes, and as pricks in your sides, and they
shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell. 56 And
it shall come to pass, that as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto
you.
Once upon a time some 55 years ago,
there was a pork eating Defense Minister. He thought the feeling population
would make good workers for his non-religious Kibbutz Friends. The results are
still felt today with orphans, widows, widowers etc. from the wonder workers
that did not flee. As for the children of the Defense Minister they died young
except for a daughter who violated Yom Kippur in Public. One even by suicide.
34:1 And the LORD spoke unto
Moses, saying: 2 'Command the children of Israel, and say unto them:
When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall
unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders
thereof. 3 Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin
close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at the end of the
Salt Sea eastward; 4 and your border shall turn about southward of the
ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be
southward of Kadesh-Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass
along to Azmon;
With the exception of not having
the eastern side of the Dead Sea, that is basically our borders today but down
to Eilat.
5 and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook
of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea. 6 And for
the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be
your west border. 7 And this shall be your north border: from the
Great Sea ye shall mark out your line unto mount Hor;
The understanding that this is a
mountain on the Turkish Lebanese Border today.
8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out a line unto the entrance
to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
This is in northern Syria and the
place where the spies went to. It is a bit below the Euphrates River but that
is for the end of days.
9 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings
out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north
border. 10 And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from
Hazar-enan to Shepham; 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham
to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall
strike upon the slope of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
Probably the mountain pass border
at Hamat Gader where the Yamuck River starts.
12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings
out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea; this shall be your land according to the
borders thereof round about.' 13 And Moses commanded the children of
Israel, saying: 'This is the land wherein ye shall receive inheritance by lot,
which the LORD hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the
half-tribe; 14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to
their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their
fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received,
their inheritance;
They were happy with their inheritance.
15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their
inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the
sun-rising.'
From the Golan Heights towards
Damascus inwards and the eastern side of the Jordan River below the mountains.
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 17 'These
are the names of the men that shall take possession of the land for you:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And ye shall take
one prince of every tribe, to take possession of the land. 19 And
these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of
Jephunneh. 20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the
son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of
Chislon. 22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki
the son of Jogli. 23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the
children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod; 24 and of
the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of
Shiphtan. 25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince,
Eli-zaphan the son of Parnach. 26 And of the tribe of the children of
Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 And of the tribe of
the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 And of
the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of
Ammihud. 29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the
inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.'
These men would be the leaders
conquering the land. Yehoshua Bin Nun would be the King and Commander-in-Chief.
35:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses
in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: 2 'Command
the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of
their possession cities to dwell in; and open land round about the cities shall
ye give unto the Levites. 3 And the cities shall they have to dwell
in; and their open land shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and
for all their beasts. 4 And the open land about the cities, which ye
shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a
thousand cubits round about. 5 And ye shall measure without the city
for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand
cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two
thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the open
land about the cities.
This is our source of 2000 Amos
from the City as Techum Shabbos.
6 And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they
shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to
flee thither; and beside them ye shall give forty and two
cities. 7 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be
forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with the open land about
them. 8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the
possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many, and
from the few ye shall take few; each tribe according to its inheritance which
it inherits shall give of its cities unto the Levites.'
Three cities in Reuven, Gad and
half Menashe and three cities on the western side.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 10 'Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan
into the land of Canaan, 11 then ye shall appoint you cities to be
cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that kills any person through
error may flee thither.
Accidental homicide or manslaughter.
12 And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the
avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for
judgment. 13 And as to the cities which ye shall give, there shall be
for you six cities of refuge. 14 Ye shall give three cities beyond
the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be
cities of refuge. 15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger
and for the settler among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that
every one that kills any person through error may flee
thither. 16 But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that
he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
The Torah distinguishes between
accident, negligent and homicide. Only the former case one flees. However, if
he saw that the ax handle was insecure and he used the ax that the blade flew off
the handle and killed that would be negligence.
17 And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a
man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to
death. 18 Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand,
whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely
be put to death.
If there are two witnesses that it
is murder then he is put to death. If not the avenger of blood can do so.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to
death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 20 And if he
thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him anything, lying in wait, so that he
died; 21 or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died; he that
smote him shall surely be put to death: he is a murderer; the avenger of blood
shall put the murderer to death when he meets him. 22 But if he thrust
him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him anything without lying in
wait, 23 or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not,
and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought
his harm; 24 then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and
the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; … 27 and the
avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the
avenger of blood slay the manslayer; there shall be no bloodguiltiness for
him; 28 because he must remain in his city of refuge until the death
of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may
return into the land of his possession.
He is protected from the avenger
of blood and shall walk around free in
the city of refugee. It is a sort of ‘house arrest’ for accidental
manslaughter.
36:1 And the heads of
the fathers' houses of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir,
the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and
spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' houses of
the children of Israel; 2 and they said: 'The LORD commanded my lord
to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord
was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelaphad our brother unto
his daughters. 3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the
other tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken
away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto they shall belong; so will it be taken away from the lot
of our inheritance.
The daughters had to marry a man in their tribe
as they had to live in the Machir section of Menashe. Aka distant cousins from
their forefathers.
4 And when the jubilee of the children of
Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of
the tribe whereunto they shall belong; so will their inheritance be taken away
from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.' … 8 And every
daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel,
shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the
children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Because of her land, she had to marry somebody who
could inherit that portion and not from Levi or another tribe.
9 So shall no inheritance remove from one
tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave
each one to its own inheritance.' 10 Even as the LORD commanded
Moses, so did the daughters of Zelaphad. 11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelaphad, were married unto
their father's brothers' sons. 12 They were married into the families
of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in
the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments
and the ordinances, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the
children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Saying the Shema after
Aleinu came from the Kaliver Rebbe. Rabbi Aryel Nachman ben Chaim
told me the life story of the Kaliver Rebbe. The Rabbi asked me to compose a
tribute to him. Thus, I've written & recorded a composition for this
towering Jewish figure who left this world. His name was Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Taub, the master ‘Admor’ of the Hasidic dynasty of Kaliv, known to many as the
Kaliver Rebbe. With a noticeable lack of beard that set him apart from other
senior Hasidic leaders, the Kaliver Rebbe’s appearance was not by a choice; he
was a victim of chemical burning experiments carried out on his skin by the
notorious Joseph Mengele at Auschwitz.
Pulled aside to be one of Mengele’s human guinea
pigs, his experience at the hands of the so-called ‘medical team’ at the
concentration camp where 1.1 million Jews were murdered, not only prevented him
from growing a beard, he was also left unable to father children. Despite the
suffering he endured, he refused to let go of the dream of continuing his
family’s legacy and saw it his fate to survive. After being transferred late
1944 from Auschwitz to the Warsaw Ghetto and then on to the Breslau
concentration camp, he was marched to Bergen-Belsen where he was liberated in
April 1945. Here is the link to this very heartfelt composition: https://rdruttenberg.bandcamp.com/track/kaliver ---Thanks to Helene W.
The Second Slap by Rabbi Yerachmiel Tilles
http://ascentofsafed.com/cgi-bin/ascent.cgi?Name=1285-47
The sound of a slap was heard in the shul (synagogue).
Everyone present turned around and were astonished to see that the person
administering the slap was no other than Rabbi Lipa, the Rav of Shargorod,
in Ukraine. For a moment silence reigned but soon people returned to their
prayers.
Rabbi Lipa's studiousness was exceptional. He hardly took time to
sleep. While studying Torah he disengaged himself entirely from his
surroundings to the extent that he was completely unaware of the passing of
time. One of the duties of his elderly shammes (attendant) was
to remind Rabbi Lipa when it was time for prayers.
Time passed and the old attendant passed away. The leaders of the
community looked for a suitable candidate to take his place. Eventually they
chose a young man who had decided not to continue his intensive studies. They
hoped that being in close contact with the Rav would influence him spiritually
for the better.
The rather irresponsible young man wasn't impressed with his new
duties. He even used his situation negatively and often caused the Rav
distress. All this time the Rav kept this to himself; he said nothing to the
people who had appointed him.
One night the young man sat with his friends till early morning.
Concerned that if he would go to bed he would not get up in time to remind the
Rav that it was time for morning prayers, he decided to lie down on a bench in
the shul, hoping that the arrival of the first worshippers would wake him.
He slept so deeply, however, that the entrance of the early comers
didn't wake him, not even when the prayers began. The community had waited for
a long time for the Rav to join them but when he didn't come they started the
prayers without him.
Only in the middle of the prayers did the gabbai (manager
of the synagogue) notice the sleeping young man. He immediately realized the
reason for the absence of R. Lipa. He quickly awakened the young man and sent
him to call the Rav.
The young man came to the Rav as usual and said nothing about the
delay. The Rav leisurely made his way to shul, but on his entrance realized
that the community was about to finish praying. This angered him greatly and he
slapped the young man on the cheek in front of all the worshippers.
The young man accepted the slap with understanding and the people
present also felt that it was deserved. But the Rav was terribly upset. His
conscience troubled him - how could he have hurt another Jew! His prayer that
morning was like the concluding prayer of Ne'ilah on Yom
Kippur, his tears flowed from his eyes like water.
Immediately after the prayers, the Rav ascended the bimah (platform
in the synagogue for the Torah Reading) and announced emotionally: "I
deeply and sincerely regret the slap I gave the young man, and I beg him for
pardon and forgiveness."
Right away the young man stood up and exclaimed: "Honorable
Rabbi, I deserved that slap, already for a long time I had it coming due to all
the distress I caused you."
Several days went by when suddenly it became known in town that the
Rav left on a long journey, without stating when he would return. The Rosh
Yeshiva (head of the yeshiva) was appointed as his substitute. Only to
the members of his family the Rav revealed that he decided to take upon himself
a period of exile [not so rare in those days - Y.T.] as penance for slapping
the young man in public. He would continue until he received a sign from Heaven
that his repentance was accepted.
The Rav exchanged his clothes for the clothes of a simple wayfarer
and wandered from town to town. There were times that he would have no food for
a long time and times that he found no place to lie down and rest. Often, he
was jeered at, but he accepted it all with love.
Years passed and he felt his strength weaken, he realized that he
would not be able to continue his wanderings but he still awaited a sign from
Heaven. One Shabbat eve he came to a town close to Shargorod. He decided to
approach the person in charge of the Guest House for help in finding a house
where to eat his Shabbat meals.
When he stood in front of the man responsible for the Guest House
he was dumbfounded to realize that this was the same young man who was his
servant all those years ago. He had married, raised a family and moved to this
town. The man didn't recognize the Rav and the latter didn't say anything. He
was sent to eat in the house of the head of the community.
From the conversation during the Shabbat evening meal the host
discovered that his guest was an outstanding Torah scholar. The community
leader was extremely pleased and invited the Rav to stay and sleep in his
house. At the end of Shabbat after Havdala (ceremony at the
termination of Shabbat) the Rav took leave of the household members and got
ready to continue his journey.
In the meantime, a tumult broke out in the shul: the valuable
silver candle sticks had disappeared. Suspicion fell immediately on the guest,
who had hurried to leave the house of his host. The community leader ran to the
Guest House supervisor and furiously asked him, "How did you sent me a
guest who is nothing but a thief!?"
The supervisor decided to discover the whereabouts of the thief. He
took his carriage and set out to find the guest, who hadn't managed to cover
much distance. By the time he overtook him he was so incensed that he slapped
the Rav on his cheek then ordered him to return the stolen candles.
To his surprise, he saw a big smile appear on the face of the
guest. This angered the supervisor even more and he raised his hand in order to
slap the guest again.
The Rav raised his hand and said "Enough! I deserved one slap
but not more than that."
This remark sounded very strange to the supervisor. Looking
searchingly at the man in front of him he suddenly yelled "Oy!
Rebbe!" realizing that this was none other than the Rav of Shargorod,
Rabbi Lipa!
He threw himself down before the Rav, begging him for forgiveness.
Again, a big smile spread over the Rav's face. He said "You do not have to
feel bad. Finally, I have received a sign from Heaven that my repentance has
been accepted."

Street posters in Charedi communities in Israel warn that the
Internet drives the Shechina from the home. Haredi Rabbis only permit the use
of “kosher” cellphones which don’t allow a user to connect with the unfettered
expanses of cyberspace.
But as the saying goes: where there's a will, there's a way. A
casual stroll through the city reveals that Charedi youth frequent Internet
cafes as much a secular Jews. In the Dati-Leumi community which encourages
active participation in all areas of Israel’s rebuilding, the use of home
computers and smartphones is as prevalent as (lehavdil) tefillin. That
was the introduction parents should read on.
Summer Astronomy fans: Arcturus
dominates the high western sky after dark. Spot the Big Dipper off to its
right, in the northwest.
In astronomy lore today, Arcturus
may be best known for its cosmic history: It's a Population II orange giant
some 7 billion years old, older than the solar system, racing by our part of
space on a trajectory that indicates it came from another galaxy: a dwarf
galaxy that fell into the Milky Way and merged with it.
But in the astronomy books of our
grandparents, Arcturus had a different claim to fame: It turned on the lights
of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, celebrating "a century of
progress." Astronomers rigged the newly invented photocell to the eye end
of big telescopes around the US and aimed the scopes where Arcturus would pass
at the correct moment on opening night. In places where the sky was clear the
star's light crept onto the photocells, the weak signals were amplified and
sent over telegraph wires to Chicago, a switch was tripped, and on blazed the
massive lights to the cheers of tens of thousands.
Why Arcturus? Astronomers of the
time thought it was 40 light-years away (modern value: 36.7 ±0.2 light-years).
So, the light would have been in flight since the previous such great event in
Chicago, the World's Columbian Exhibition in 1893.
And earlier? Arcturus was known
as the first of the familiar nighttime stars to be seen in the daytime with a
telescope: by Jean-Baptiste Morin in 1635.
