It’s common knowledge, of course, that boys are Bar Mitzvah-ed at the age of 13 & then become liable to observe the Torah’s commandments; this is explicitly noted in Pirkei Avot 5:21: Ben shlosh-esrya l’Mitzvot. But when does a boy become a man? Rashi connects the pasuk in Bamidbar 5:6 – "a man or woman who commits a sin" – to our sedra, where Levi, who was 13, is referred to as an "ish," a man. (He is the youngest person in the Torah to be called "ish.") We also have the example of Yakov & Esav. They both attended a yeshiva while young, but at the age of 13 they went their separate ways, with Esav going on to be a hunter, while Yakov stayed in the "tents of learning." The Gemara learns from this that parents must raise their child until age 13, at which point the parent (generally the father on the day of his son’s Bar Mitzva) publicly declares, "Baruch Shepatranu," blessed is He who has freed me from my responsibility for any misdeeds this person may commit in the future.

    Reciting Korbanos Daily

    Between the recital of morning berachos and Boruch She’amar, which begins pesukei dezimra, is a section of the davening colloquially referred to as “korbanos,” since it includes many references to the various offerings brought in the Beis Hamikdash. The goal of this article is to provide an overview and some details about this part of the davening.

    Ein Aya Shabbat Chapter B Paragraph 278

    [Rabbi Shimon and his son, Rabbi Elazar, left the cave after an additional stay.] As Erev Shabbat was turning into Shabbat, they saw an old man who was holding two fragrant branches and running during twilight. They said to him: “Why do you have those?” He told them: “In honor of Shabbat.” “Why isn’t one enough?” “One corresponds to zachor (remember Shabbat) and one corresponds to shamor (observe Shabbat).” Rabbi Shimon said to his son: “See how beloved the mitzvot are to Israel.”

    The Nation of Israel

    The Religious View of the Secular State of Israel

    For many, this most basic question will formulate their decision whether to be religious-Zionists or not. Interestingly, the Rambam explains the celebration of Chanuka as thanks to Hashem for 200 years of Israeli Independence, even though the Maccabean Dynasty was not from the tribe of Judah and for most of that period was not religious! Why is it so important to have a Jewish State, even if not the ideal one?

    A Woman's Obligation to Pray

    According to most authorities, women are no less obligated to pray than men. Therefore, they must pray “Amida” in the morning and the afternoon (“Shacharit” and “Mincha”). The evening Amida prayer (“Maariv”), on the other hand, is voluntary.
