Asher Ishaayahu Ben Rivka

Parashat Hashavua Series'Library Piskei Din (Hebrew)Test Yourself

The Torah introduces the dietary restrictions with the words: "Zot hachaya asher tochlu", "These are the animals that you may eat" (Lev. 11:2). However the term "chaya" here seems difficult since the verse continues "mekol habeheima asher al haaretz". Therefore Rashi explains (see Gur Aryeh) that the name "chaya" is being used here specifically to associate kashrut with the greater concept of chaim. "Since Bnei Yisroel are so closely connected to Hashem and are worthy of chaim, therefore I have separated them from tumah, and commanded them to do mitzvot, and to the nations of the world I have not commanded anything." Our separation from the world through the means of kashrut brings us to "chaim", an expression of the fullest, deepest, most complete living possible.

Eretz Yisroel is given the title "eretz ha-chaim" (Psalms 142:6). Here too Am Yisroel seemingly withdraws from the company of the nations of the world. But in reality it is precisely our step back that enables us to take the greatest step forward towards real chaim, the true life of Yisrael, and fulfill our destiny of being an "ohr lagoyim". (See Rav Kook, Orot p. 153)

The Neurotics of the Exile Mentality & Fear of Change

Rav Kook ingeniously explains this difficult aggadita about "Sandal Messumar", relating to the problem of "Fear of the Unknown", and the Exile Mentality, where fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This analysis has many current ramifications regarding the individual and Israel's relationship with her enemies, as well as with America, and how to deal with anti-Semitism today in America, Europe and Australia.

Taming the Inner Wild: Rav Kook and Harnessing the Power of Imagination

"Imagination" and "thinking out of the box" is one of the keys to success in hi-tech, music, art and western culture in general. Rav Kook deals here with the kabbalistic image of imagination as the "heel" or lower part of spirituality, which generally needs guarding and protection (symbolized by the shoes). On the other hand, he explains that this "breaking out of frameworks" is a necessary part of the process of redemption and modern creativity, and even the basis for the revival of prophecy.
