Next Thursday begins the 3 weeks ("Bein Ham'tzarim") from 17 Tamuz - 9 Av, commemorating the breach of Jerusalem & the eventual destruction of the city & both the 1st & 2nd Batei Mikdash. Other tragedies that occurred on the 17th of Tamuz include the breaking by Moshe of the 1st set of Luchot, & the suspension of the daily offerings in the Bet HaMikdash. In order to limit our Simcha during these 3 weeks, we do not have weddings; we avoid live music; we do not take haircuts; & we refrain from saying the Shehecheyanu blessing on new fruits or clothes (except on Shabbat). All types of food & drink may be eaten until the 9 Days, when mourning intensifies & we then refrain from eating meat & wine. Even greater sadness is displayed in the week when Tisha B'Av occurs, &, then, of course, on Tisha B'Av itself. Thursday’s fast begins (in Ra’anana) at 4:13 am & ends at 8:11 pm. May we see the Bet HaMikdash rebuilt in our days! (Note: Above is the Ashkenaz custom).

Rabbi Netanel Yossifun | 27 Tevet 5786

DO WE DESERVE REDEMPTION? “Blood, Covenant, and Return”- Parshat VaEra

Are we today so much greater than say the Rambam's generation? Why is G-d returning us to Israel & doing so many salvations and victories over Hamas, Hizballah, Syria and Iran in recent years, even if we haven't done Teshuva & seemingly don't deserve it?

Rabbi Ari Shvat | Tevet 5786

Orchot Tzaddikim

The class deals with how to cleave and strengthen the G-dly trait of "Truth", the need to pray for Teshuva, the importance of returning that which was wrongly taken before saying Viduy, and other aspects of Teshuva.
