Parashat HashavuaSeries'LibraryPiskei Din (Hebrew)Test Yourself
The holy AR"I (Rabbi Yitzchak Luria) passed away on the fifth of Av 1572; in his 38 years, he became one of the greatest Kabbalists of the Jewish people. Among other things, the AR"I gave us the ability to be immersed in an inner world that is not affected by external reality. In Bnei Heichala, one of the Shabbat poems he composed for seuda shlishit, the third meal on Shabbat, is a sentence that enables calmness in stormy times:

Chadu hashta, b'hai shata (Rejoice now, at this most propitious time)

d'vei ra'ava v'leit za'afin (in which there is favor, but no anger)

Each of us has an hour in which there is "no anger" – a moment of introspection in the Torah; A moment at a Shabbat meal with our loved ones; a moment of success in which our dreams come true. The problem is that we are immediately disturbed by the moment after; from the grinding routine; from the Saturday night news.

So let yourselves rejoice at this time, when there is favor and no anger – delve deeper and deeper into the Torah; surround yourself as much as possible with people who fill you with joy; extend seuda shlishit on Shabbat; listen to the news as little as possible. Slowly but surely, this hour of favor will expand to your whole life; and you will see that

K'rivu li, chazu cheili (come close to me, see my strength)

d'leit dinin ditkifin (for there are no harsh judgements).

    Can I be mekadeish the levanah when there is just a slight cloud cover? Am I permitted to be mekadeish the levanah either before it gets fully dark or during the post-dawn, pre-sunrise morning hours? Did the Rif not write on this topic? Why not?

    How to Time Vatikin?

    When minyanim closed, I started davening vatikin (starting Shemoneh Esrei (=SE) at hanetz hachama (sunrise=netz)). If I do not know precisely when netz is, is it better to err on the side of starting SE before or after netz?

    Desert, water and Torah

    Just as water has the ability to convert desolate and nonproductive desert land into a veritable Garden of Eden, so too can Torah fill the void in our hearts and souls and make us productive holy people.

    What Bracha Do I Make Before Smelling the Shavuos Flowers?

    My husband brought me beautiful roses for Shavuos. Should I make a bracha before smelling them? I have noticed that sometimes there is no noticeable fragrance.

    Relationships during the Time of Engagement

    A young engaged man and his fiancée naturally have very strong feelings for each other. It goes without saying that these will be expressed after the wedding, but what expression, if any, is permitted in the meantime? And while we're on the subject, is the attraction of men and women to each other really a good thing to begin with?

    The Laws Relating to Converts

    The laws relating to Jewish converts are most astounding. Despite the criticism directed at the Jewish people on the grounds that Judaism is racist, the Torah teaches us that any non-Jew who earnestly seeks to join the Jewish people may do so.

    Jacob the Patriarch and the Succot Festival

    Our nation possesses the inner strength - strength which we inherited from Jacob - to take on the challenging and trying difficulties. Even if our Succah appears to be unstable, a mighty spirit fills its openings and reinforces its cracks.
