Beit Midrash
- Shabbat and Holidays
- Jewish Holidays
- Shavuot
Around 30,000 men and women are currently studying in fixed frameworks within the world of Zionist yeshivas and women’s batei midrashot. Another 120,000 men and women learn Torah in the ultra-Orthodox world. This total of approximately 150,000 regular Torah learners are joined by hundreds of thousands in the first circle and millions in the second circle by those who have set times for learning in one way or another. The connection to Judaism is also expressed in the entertainment culture: the most played song in Israel in 2021 is "You are the Cause of the Cause and Reason for the Reason" by Yishai Ribo.
What will the Holiday of Shavuot be like here in 30 years? I am betting on Judaism. The sophisticated on the progressive left also understand this, and that is why they are on the rampage. With the help of God, on Shavuot 2052, the State of Israel will be a traditional-religious state. Do not get upset by the death throes of those who hate Judaism. It's always been like this: they have the money, the media and the power, and we have the spirit. They will try to engineer consciousness, organize their own parades, and hang PLO flags in the lanes of the Ayalon highway, but they cannot stop something that is stronger - the Torah of Israel. For those of them who will have grandchildren, they will find them in 30 years in yeshivas, in batei midrashot, in national service and in the Jewish army.
Have a wonderful Holiday of the Giving of Our Torah! Chag Matan Torah sameach!

Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 6 - The Parable of the King of India
The advantages of testimony over circumstantial evidence or philosophical speculation.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
