There are 4 cardinal commandments in the Torah that require martyrdom, if necessary. Most people know the first 3: Idolatry, murder & certain sexual crimes. But the 4th, in our Sedra, is Chilul Hashem; we must not commit any act (in public) that brings desecration to G-d’s name. The Gemara says this sin may be as minor as a Talmid Chacham not paying his bills on time; or as major as allowing Jews to be killed by non-Jews with impunity. On the other hand, Kiddush Hashem is any act which brings glory to Hashem’s name & honors Him among the nations. Some events can generate both results: The Shoa, or our failure to wipe out terrorism, cause(d) massive Chilul Hashem, as the nations look upon us & our G-d as impotent, unable to stop our being murdered. This is a disgrace to Hashem. Yet at the same time, they create great Kiddush Hashem, as the Shoa victims courageously resisted, & never lost their faith, even as Jews today refuse to abandon Israel or Judaism due to terrorism.

P'ninat Mishpat

The Obligation to Divorce “Disgusts” His Wife

A wife stated that she cannot stand to remain together with her husband and gave strong reasons to support this. She told the regional beit din that she agrees to be categorized as a moredet (a wife who denies her husband conjugal rights) and thereby lose rights to payment of her ketuba in return for a get. The husband now is appealing beit din’s obligating him to give a get. [There is a financial dispute as well, which we hope to deal with next week.]

The Holy Temple: A World of Splendor

: The Torah portions dealing with the Tabernacle dispel the mistaken impression that the Torah directs man to confine himself to an abstract spiritual world and that the entire aim of the Jew should be to occupy himself with Torah and commandments.
