  Two Wars — And Who Is Left Behind? Ki Tesse

  Aug 20, 202614 minS5

  This morning’s Breakfast & Class on Parashat Ki Tetze began with a curious question: Why does the Torah introduce two different sections, almost back-to-back, with virtually the identical words — “Ki tetze la-milchamah al oyevekha” , “When you go out to war against your enemies”? And why does the mysterious episode of Eglah Arufah , the unidentified murdered traveler, stand between them?   We discovered that the Torah may actually be describing two wars and one great responsibility : the war against the enemy outside us, the far more personal war against the enemy within us, and the obligation never to forget the person struggling behind us. And that brings us to the final words of the parashah — Zakhor et asher asah lekha Amalek . Amalek specifically attacks the tired, the weak and those left at the rear of the camp. As Elul begins, perhaps one of the most important questions we can ask is not only, “What do I need to change?” but also, “Who have we left behind?”

  Can Something Small Really Make a Difference?

  Aug 18, 202623 minS5

  What can one small mitzvah possibly accomplish? We say Tehillim for a refuah, give tzedakah in someone’s zechut, dedicate Torah learning to someone who is ill—and yet the question remains: how can something so small affect something so large? This class begins with the Zera Shimshon on Shiluach HaKen , who teaches that the problem may be in the question itself. What looks small to us may carry enormous weight in Shamayim. From the mother bird of Parashat Ki Tetzei, we move to the metzora, Rachel Imeinu, Mashiach, the hidden storehouse of neshamos, and the mystery of how mitzvot create zechut. The central message is simple and powerful: never measure a mitzvah by how small it looks from here. We see the bird; HaShem sees the worlds it moves. May this Torah be a zechut for לְכָל חוֹלֵי עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל .

  The Sin Was the Strategy - Ki Tesse

  Aug 18, 202618 minS5

    The Sin Was the Strategy   This morning’s Breakfast & Class begins with a troubling question in Parashat Ki Tetze. Why does the Torah judge Ammon and Moav so harshly? Their crime was not simply that they failed to offer bread and water, nor even that they hired Bilaam. Rabbi Yissocher Frand, drawing on the Dubno Maggid, the Kli Yakar and the Tolner Rebbe, points us toward something deeper: they strategized. They studied our vulnerabilities, created the circumstances in which we might fall, and deliberately planned a spiritual trap.   But in Elul, that frightening idea can become an extraordinarily hopeful one. If so much evil can come from planning how someone might fall, imagine the power of sitting down and planning how we might rise. Together with an insight from Rabbi Yehonasan Gefen, and the remarkable Talmudic story of Rav Amram Ḥasida shouting “Fire!” before temptation could overcome him, we ask a very practical Elul question: Instead of simply promising ourselves that this year will be different, what can we actually change in the architecture of our lives to make it easier to become the people we want to be?

  Bringing the Captive Home - Ki Tetzeh

  Aug 16, 202618 minS5

    This Sunday morning’s Breakfast & Class begins with the opening words of Parashat Ki Tetzeh: “Ki tetze la-milḥamah al oyevecha” — when we go out to war against our enemies. The Zohar and the Or HaḤaim reveal that the Torah may also be describing a much more personal battle: the war against the yetzer hara, and the beautiful captive as our own neshamah.   Elul is not only about discovering what is wrong with us. It is about rescuing what is still beautiful within us. In this morning’s class, we follow the verses step by step and discover how Ki Tetzeh becomes a map for Elul — going out to battle, taking back what was captured, and finally bringing the neshamah home.

  The Measure of a Person Is His Sense of Gratitude Shoftim

  Aug 14, 202616 minS5

    There is something strange about human nature. The first time someone does something for us, we notice it. The second time, we appreciate it. But when someone takes care of us day after day, somehow the extraordinary becomes ordinary. In this morning’s Breakfast & a Class , based on insight of Rabbi Frand, we look at a remarkable Gemara in Ketubot and Rav Pam’s powerful insight into three seemingly insignificant favors — a hand offered on a bridge, a feather brushed away, and a little unpleasantness quietly covered over. The great Amoraim teach us that hakarat hatov begins long before we say “thank you.” It begins with learning to notice.   From there, we bring the lesson home — quite literally. What happens when the kindnesses of a husband or wife become so constant that we begin treating them as part of the job description? Through the unforgettable words of Rabbi Akiva about his wife — “Sheli ve-shelakhem, shelah hu,” “What is mine and what is yours is hers” — and a very personal reflection on my own gratitude to Chantelle, we ask what Elul might look like if, alongside examining what we need to change, we also learned to see again everything — and everyone — HaShem has already given us.
