PURCHASE THIS IMAGE AS AN 8X12 INCH PICTURE ON CANVAS

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov teaches:

Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai promised that the Torah would never be forgotten from the Jewish people because of him as our Rabbis teach (Shabbat 138b), “When our Rabbis entered into Kerem BeYavneh they said, ‘In the future, the Torah is destined to be forgotten from the Jewish people’ and Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai said it will not be forgotten as it says, ‘It will not be forgotten from its offspring’. As it says in the Zohar (Nasso 124b): Through this book, which is the Book of the Zohar they will be redeemed from their exile.”

A Flood – and A Glimpse into the Life of Noach – a “Crazy” Man Who Well Knew What He Was Doing

Flood
Flood

Randy Wagner might have seemed crazy – but he knew what he was doing!

Can you imagine what life was like during the Generation of the Flood? People were going about life as usual, while a lone man spent a year building a massive ark. People would walk by and laugh, “What are you doing Noach?” they would ask. And Noach would tell them, “I’m building an ark. A flood will be coming soon and it will destroy the entire world!”

The Magic of Our Words – Parshat Balak

Aladdin's Magic Lamp
Aladdin’s Magic Lamp

Parshat Balak tells us the story about a king ready to destroy the Jewish people. His reasoning – without any provocation or cause – based on made-up images that perhaps only a lunatic could consider. Having seen that Bnei Yisrael were successful in destroying the two kings – Sichon and Og, he imagined that he was next in line. His plan – to hire a magician to curse the Jewish people into oblivion.

Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher – The Tur

Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher - the Tur
Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher – the Tur

Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher (1269- 12 Tammuz 1343) was one of the foundation builders of all of Jewish law as we have it today! He was the son of Rabbeinu Asher – known as the Rosh (“the Head” – an acronym for Rabbeinu ASher). The Rosh was one of the three pillars upon whom Rabbi Yosef Karo – the author of the Shulchan Aruch – would base his magnum opus. It is indeed the Shulchan Aruch which determines the majority of Jewish law today! Those wishing to become Rabbis must pass examinations showing competency in certain sections of his work. Ideally – a true Rav should be competent in the entire Shulchan Aruch! If that can be said of the Shulchan Aruch, then let us not treat lightly the words of the Chida – Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai, who said that without a proper study of the Tur and its commentaries, one cannot begin to determine Halachah!
