Занятие по недельной главе Торы проходит в нашей общине регулярно. В сезоне 2012-2013 – по вторникам, 19:40 – 21:00.

Раввин общины, Йосеф Херсонский разработал формат этого занятия:

– Мини-урок (15-20 минут) помощника раввина

– Часовое занятие раввина, в котором участникам предлагается выбрать наиболее интересующие их темы из сюжета недельной главы. В начале занятия раввин делает общий обзор главы и предлагает участникам список тем, упомянутых в главе + пояснения, каким образом эта тема актуальна сегодня. Каждый участник озвучивает 3 наиболее интересующие его темы. Рейтинг интересующих тем формирует программу занятия.

Данное занятие провел полностью помощник раввина ввиду того, что раввин был в отъезде.

Parachat PARSCHAT PARSCHAT Shoftim 5774 Rav Schlomo Aviner

Raw Frand zu Parschat Schoftim 5773

Anstiftung zum Götzendienst ist schlimmer als die Handlung selbst

Im Altertum pflegten Götzendiener einen Baum namens Aschera zu pflanzen, den sie für allerlei rituellen Kult verwendeten. Die Torah lehrt uns zu Beginn dieses Wochenabschnitts: “Pflanze dir keinen Hain [hebr. Aschera], überhaupt keinen Baum neben dem Altar des Ewigen, deines G-ttes, den du dir errichten sollst. Und du sollst dir keinen Opferstein [hebr. Mazewa] aufrichten, den der Ewige, dein G-tt, hasst.” [Dewarim 16:21-22]

Raschi weist darauf hin, dass uns befohlen wird, einen Altar aus mehreren Steinen und einen Altar aus Erde (gefüllt mit Erde) zu machen – doch ein Altar aus einem einzigen Stein (Mazewa) gehörte zum Ritual der Kena’aniter und war daher verhasst in den Augen des Allmächtigen. Raschi fährt fort: “Obwohl die Mazewa zu Zeiten der Stammväter von Ihm [G-tt] geliebt wurde, ist sie jetzt verhasst geworden, weil sie zum Bestandteil heidnischer Rituale wurde.”

Der Ramban (Nachmanides) wundert sich über Raschi und schreibt in seinem Kommentar, er könne diese Erklärung nicht verstehen, denn schliesslich machten die Kena’aniter bei ihren heidnischen Ritualen sowohl Gebrauch von der Mazewa (einem Altar aus einem einzigen Stein), als auch vom Misbeach (einem Altar aus mehreren Steinen). Er zitiert zum Beweis seiner Aussage den Vers: “Und reisset ihre Altäre [aus mehreren Steinen] nieder und zertrümmert ihre Opfersteine [aus einem einzigen Stein], und ihre Haine [Aschera-Bäume] verbrennet durch Feuer…” [Dewarim 12:3]. Der Ramban hat daher eine andere Erklärung dafür: Er ist der Ansicht, dass die Heiden innerhalb ihrer Tempel Altäre aus mehreren Steinen hatten, auf denen sie Opfer für ihre verschiedenen Götter darbrachten. Ausserdem hatten sie einen einzigen, grossen Stein am Eingang des Tempels, auf dem ihre Priester standen – und ganz in der Nähe pflanzten sie einen riesigen Baum, um den Weg zum heidnischen Tempel zu weisen.

Wir müssen uns vor Augen halten, dass es zu dieser Zeit noch keine Plakatwände, Neonschilder und Helium-Ballons gab. Auf welche Art wies man also Menschen den Weg, wie sie zu einem Hause des Götzendienstes gelangen konnten? Man stellte eine Mazewa auf und pflanzte einen speziellen, grossen Aschera-Baum am Eingang der Tempel – das Markenzeichen heidnischer Tempel. Aus diesem Grunde verbat G-tt, dem Götzendienst zuwider ist, die Mazewa und Aschera und erlaubte ausschliesslich den Misbeach, der für die Opfergaben notwendig ist.

Das Sefer Ikwej Erew stellt genau dieselben Fragen zum Ramban, wie der Ramban zu Raschi stellt: Er wundert sich, inwieweit der Ramban die Problematik klärt, denn nach wie vor verstehen wir nicht den Unterschied zwischen Misbeach und Mazewa. Warum hat G-tt ersteres erlaubt und letzteres verboten? Im Gegenteil: Gemäss dem Ramban, war der Misbeach INNERHALB des heidnischen Tempels und die Mazewa war AUSSERHALB. Der Misbeach war der Altar, auf dem sie ihre eigentlichen Opfer darbrachten. Die Mazewa hingegen wurde nur als Plattform benutzt, auf der die Priester zu stehen pflegten. Es würde daher wohl mehr Sinn machen, den Misbeach zu verbieten und die Mazewa zu erlauben!

Aus diesem Grund kommt der Ikwej Erew auf ein sehr interessantes Konzept: Die Aschera und die Mazewa, die ausserhalb des Götzentempels standen, waren SCHLIMMER als der Misbeach, der drinnen stand. Er zitiert das Gebot des Mejssit (hebr. Hetzer, Anstifter), der die Menschen zum Götzendienst anzustiften versucht [Dewarim 13:7-12]. Der Tatbestand, einen jüdischen Mitmenschen zum Götzendienst zu verführen, ist das schlimmste Verbrechen, das ein Jude begehen kann. Die Torah verbietet es, jegliches Mitleid gegenüber dem “Anstifter” zu haben. Die Prozeduren des jüdischen Religionsgesetzes, die sich auf die Strafverfolgung des Anstifters beziehen, beinhalten Anweisungen zur Schliessung jeglicher rechtlicher Schlupflöcher, die es beim Verfahren der Strafverfolgung aller anderen Sünden gibt. Dies bedeutet, dass die Strafverfolgung des Anstifters die strengste in unserer Religion ist.

Es gibt sogar ein beispielloses Gesetz, das es erlaubt, einem verdächtigten Anstifter eine Falle zu stellen. Es empfiehlt, Zeugen hinter einem Zaun zu verstecken und den Anstifter darum zu bitten, seine Worte der Empfehlung hinsichtlich des Götzendienstes zu wiederholen – woraufhin die Zeugen herausspringen und ihn aller einschlägigen Verbrechen bezichtigen!

Wir lernen also aus dem Konzept des Mejssit, dass es schlimmer ist, Menschen vom richtigen Weg abzubringen und sie zum Götzendienst zu verleiten, als den Götzendienst selbst zu verrichten. Die Todesstrafe für Götzendienst lautet Sajif (Tod durch das Schwert), wohingegen die Strafe für Anstiftung zum Götzendienst Skila (Steinigung) lautet, was die härteste Form der Todesstrafe darstellt.

Wenn dies der Fall ist, können wir jetzt verstehen, warum der Misbeach (der für die rituellen Handlungen des Götzendienstes an sich verwendet wurde) nicht für den G-ttesdienst (im jüdischen Tempel) verboten worden ist, wohingegen die Aschera und die Mazewa, die zur Anlockung von Menschen zu heidnischen Tempeln dienten, von G-tt verabscheut und für immer vom jüdischen G-ttesdienst verbannt worden sind.

Nationale Tragödie verdrängt persönlichen Verlust

Der Wochenabschnitt Schoftim (Richter) beinhaltet eine Wiederholung der Gebote bezüglich der “Städte der Zuflucht”. Wenn jemand einen Menschen unabsichtlich (be’Schogeg) tötet, hat der nächste Verwandte bzw. Angehörige des Opfers das Recht, Vergeltung zu nehmen und diesen “unabsichtlichen Mörder” umzubringen – sofern dieser nicht in die Stadt der Zuflucht (Ir Miklat) flieht, wo es dem “Bluträcher” (Goel Ha’Dam) verboten ist, ihn zu belangen. Der unabsichtliche Mörder muss bis zum Tode des Hohepriesters (Kohen Gadol) in dieser “Zufluchtsstadt” bleiben [Bamidbar 35:28]. Sobald der Hohepriester stirbt, steht es dem unabsichtlichen Mörder frei, die Zufluchtsstadt zu verlassen – und der Bluträcher darf ihn nicht mehr anrühren.

Der Rambam (Maimonides) diskutiert diese Gesetze in seinem Buch Moreh Newuchim (Führer der Unschlüssigen). Nach seiner Auffassung ist es verständlich, dass wenn der Hohepriester noch fünfzig oder sechzig Jahre nach diesem Vorfall weiterlebt, der Bluträcher genügend Zeit gehabt hat, sich “abzukühlen” und nicht mehr so aufgebracht sein wird, wenn er die Person frei herumlaufen sieht, die für die Tötung seines Bruders (bspw.) verantwortlich ist. Doch der Rambam fragt, was passiert, wenn der Hohepriester nur eine Woche oder einen Monat nach dem Tod des Bruders dieses Bluträchers verstirbt. Wie und warum sollte der Tod des Hohepriesters die verständliche Wut des Goel Ha’Dam beeinflussen? Wir haben ein Prinzip, dass ein Toter in den ersten zwölf Monaten nach seinem Ableben nicht vergessen wird – zumal wir in dieser
Zeit auch täglich das Kaddisch der Waisen (Heiligungsgebet, das von den Waisen zugunsten des Toten gesprochen wird) sagen. Daher sollte doch vielleicht über den unabsichtlichen Mörder eine Minimalstrafe von ZWÖLF MONATEN Aufenthalt in der Zufluchtsstadt verhängt werden!

Der Rambam erklärt, dass der Hohepriester die meist geehrte und geliebte Person des ganzen Volkes war. Sein Tod war eine nationale Tragödie auf höchster Ebene. Es ist die menschliche Natur, schreibt der Rambam, dass das Eintreten einer “grösseren” Tragödie die psychologische Auswirkung “kleinerer” Tragödien verdrängt. Zum Beispiel, nehme man an, dass jemandem am 8. August das Getriebe seines Wagens kaputtgeht. Er wird verärgert sein. Es wird ihn eine Menge Geld kosten. Er ist wütend, usw. Wenn er am nächsten Tag in den Nachrichten von einer grossen Naturkatastrophe erfährt, die hunderte Tote und tausende Obdachlose gefordert hat, dann wird er im Hinblick auf seinen Getriebeschaden nicht mehr so gereizt sein. Nationale Tragödien rücken persönliche Probleme in ein anderes Licht!

Die nationale Tragödie des Verlustes einer der ehrwürdigsten und beliebtesten Söhne der Nation, wofür alle Menschen gleichsam in Trauer verfallen, wird die Tragödie des unbeabsichtigten Todes eines Angehörigen des Goel Ha’Dam in die richtige Perspektive rücken – sodass er fortan auch damit klarkommen wird, den unbeabsichtigten Mörder als freien Mann herumlaufen zu sehen. Die persönliche Tragödie wird unbedeutsam (batel) im Angesicht der nationalen Tragödie des jüdischen Volkes.

So sollte es sein. Wenn Klal Jisrael (die Allgemeinheit Israels) eine Tragödie erleidet, sollten unsere persönliche Probleme unbedeutend erscheinen. Wie viele von uns können wahrlich sagen, dass wir auf diese Weise auf Tragödien reagieren, die das jüdische Volk ereilen? Beklagen wir uns noch immer über unsere belanglosen Probleme, wenn wir über weitaus grössere Herausforderungen hören und lesen, die unsere jüdischen Mitmenschen in Erez Jisrael (im Lande Israel) oder anderswo auf die Probe stellen?

Dies ist die moralische Botschaft (Mussar Haskel) in diesem Abschnitt des Moreh Newuchim über die Gebote bezüglich der Zufluchtsstädte und der Rolle des Todes des Kohen Gadol bei der Freilassung des zum Exil in der Zufluchtsstadt verurteilten, unabsichtlichen Mörders. Wenn Klal Jisrael von einer nationalen Tragödie überschattet wird, sollten alle persönlichen Belange verblassen, angesichts unserer Sorgen über Angelegenheiten von nationaler Wichtigkeit.

Hay algo muy especial con respecto a los mandamientos, acerca del concepto de ordenar, mandar. Ordenar, en primer lugar implica reinado, ¿Quién da órdenes, quien manda? El rey, un rey ordena. Entonces, el hecho que toda la Torá sea un libro de preceptos, quiere decir que todo su propósito es el de revelar, manifestar el reino de Dios en la tierra, que Hashem Hu Hamelej, que Dios es el Rey, Él ordena y nosotros cumplimos, lo que Él ordena nosotros lo hacemos.

Thoughts on Parashat  …

How is doing a voluntary mitzvah like wearing a snazzy outfit? Parshat …. Rabbi Ari Strulowitz

Parshat Vayikra opens the third book of Torah by outlining korban, burnt offerings. Rabbi Ari Strulowitz of Midwest NCSY, interprets the wording of the second verse: “a man from AMONG you brings a sacrifice.”
While some mitzvot are must-do’s but many others are voluntary, and so perhaps this sacrifice is a voluntary one. Why does this matter? Find out!

Good and Evil: Understanding our Choices

03.09.2013
Right and wrong, good and evil; they are all clear cut examples of choices. But as Rachael explains, life is not always a choice between two options.

Rachael’s Centre for Torah, Mussar and Ethics is a not for profit, charitable organization that focuses on sharing and applying Jewish wisdom from a woman’s perspective.
Dr. Rachael Turkienicz, our founder and executive director, has developed a unique approach to revealing these ancient truths in the context of a modern world. Rachael holds a Ph.D. in Talmudic and Midrashic Studies from Brandeis University. Currently she is a Professor at York University in both of its Education and Jewish Studies faculties. Rachael is an influential and needed woman’s voice within Judaism today.
Rachael’s Centre in Toronto and rachaelscentre.org are pluralistic, community based, unaffiliated and open to people of all backgrounds. The core of the Centre and its programmes is the wisdom of Jewish text presented through a female lens. Rachael’s Centre also offers programmes and courses on the interior moral and life systems of Mussar (Jewish ethics).

PARENTING: On Loan

On Loan
Iyar 20, 5774 · May 20, 2014

 

Children have a way of pushing buttons.

And when they push a certain button at a certain time with a certain degree of intensity, the result may be the desire to give that child the punishment he deserves.

A chassid once wrote to the Rebbe that he had a hard time restraining himself from hitting his child, even though that was not the way he wanted to raise him.

The Rebbe responded, “Imagine if this was your neighbor’s child. Would you ever consider lifting your hand to another’s child?”

In truth, our children are not our own. They were entrusted to our care as a loan, given to us by G‑d to raise and care for.

When Chanah, the mother of Samuel the prophet, was thanking G‑d for her child after many years of infertility, she said, “This is the child that I prayed for, for G‑d has given me what I asked for.” The Hebrew word for asked, sha’alah, can also mean “borrowed.”

Chana was cognizant that this precious son that she was to care for was not her own, but rather a loan that G‑d had entrusted to her.

Thoughtstream: Today, I will take care of my child carefully and lovingly, for G‑d has entrusted me with the most precious loan.

(Adapted from Torat Menachem 5744, vol. 1, p. 159.)

MACHON MEIR YESHIVA JERUSALEM

06.04.2013
http://english.machonmeir.net/
Machon Meir is a Center for Jewish Studies that is located in the heart of Jerusalem, Israel in the neighborhood of Kiryat Moshe. It was established by Rabbi Dov Bigon shortly after the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Rabbi Bigon was a commander in the Israeli Defense Force that helped liberate Jerusalem and the Western Wall from the Jordanian Legion. After the war he began to contemplate the meaning of the Jewish Nation and decided to enroll himself in the Merkaz HaRav Kook Yeshiva in Jerusalem.

SEE VIDEO FOR MORE
Machon Meir for over the last 35 years has been a place for all of Am Yisrael to come and learn more about their Jewish roots. It is a place to get a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of the Nation of Israel and the importance of living in the Land of Israel. Since its inception it has grown to become more than just a center for Jewish learning. It now has expanded into a facility that has over 600 students with classes in Hebrew, English, Russian, French and Spanish. Its main student body is made up of Israelis, which is great for the student from abroad to be able to get a first hand feel of what the Israeli Religious culture is like. It also has thousands of Alumni who frequently visit Machon Meir and stay in personal contact with their Rabbis.
It has also opened up a Religious Zionist seminary for women speakers of Hebrew, Spanish and Russian called Machon Ora. If you would like to visit their website go to ttp://mora.machonmeir.net/heb/

Machon Meir is also the only place in Jerusalem which offers Kosher, Torani Ulpan classes for men only to learn Hebrew. These classes take place during the afternoon hours Sunday-Wednesday. If you would like to visit their website go to ttp://ulpan-ivrit.co.il/

Machon Meir has become known throughout Israel as the place to go to learn more and grow as a Jewish person and member of Am Yisrael. It has also become the landing point for many new immigrants from all the countries in the Diaspora because of its value on full integration into Israeli society and the encouragement to be a part of the Israeli Defense Force.

WEEKLY TORAH FOR KIDS: Parshat Shoftim

Elul 1, 5774 · August 27, 2014
Torah of Refuge

“Heh,” Sara said as she rubbed her eyes, “what’s going on?”

Blue lights were flashing, going round and round, there was a police car on the pavement with its doors open, and a big black police van was waiting at the side of the road, its amber hazard lights winking. There was a whole crowd of policemen standing near the back of the van. Two of the police seemed to be making sure the back door of the van was locked.

“It looks as if someone has been arrested!” Ben said.

“I wonder what the person did…” Sara said. “Maybe he was a robber or a, a…” she shuddered at the thought that there might be a murderer who could be found on the street outside their home. He might even live nearby!

“You know something,” Ben said thoughtfully “this week’s Torah reading tells us that many years ago if someone killed someone by mistake, but due to negligence, there were special cities where the accidental murderer could run to and be safe.”

“That makes sense,” Sara said. “I mean even though the person did it by mistake there will still be relatives of the victim who won’t see it that way, and they might want to take revenge.”

“The funny thing is,” Ben said “the Sages tell us that when Moshiach will come there will still be these Cities of Refuge.”

“Hmm,” Sara said, “that is strange. I thought that people won’t do bad things when Moshiach will come and for sure not kill each other, not even by accident—and certainly not because of negligence!”

“Well,” Ben said slowly, “the Cities might be for people who had accidentally killed someone before Moshiach came. But also I heard that there’s a spiritual significance to the idea of these cities that will be relevant when Moshiach will come, and in fact even now.”

“What’s that?” asked Sara.

“Torah study!” said Ben. “When we study Torah, in a way, we are going to a City of Refuge, where nothing can disturb us. We shut out everything from the world around us and focus on the Torah teachings we are studying.”

“That’s true,” Sara said, thinking of the times she had been so engrossed in a book that her mother had called and called her, but she didn’t hear… “So when we study Torah, not only is it a mitzvah, but it is also a time for ourselves when we can take refuge and enjoy the peace of mind that it offers.”

“Let’s do that all again!” someone holding a big notebook was shouting. The door of the police van opened and a burly man came out. He was smiling. Then the two children saw the big film camera on someone’s shoulder, and a microphone at the end of a thin pole. It was all for a film!

“It’s like when you study Torah,” said Ben. “No one was killed, not even by accident, but you are still in the City of Refuge, safe and happy”.

JewishKids.org Update

Summer is almost over…

Menachem Av 28, 5774 · August 24, 2014
Hey Kids!
Summer is almost over, but with its passing comes a very special season on the Jewish calendar.The Jewish month of Elul, the last month of the Jewish year, begins this week. The month of Elul is a time when we prepare for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is a time when we look back at the year that has passed and make decisions about how we want to improve going forward.Did you know that during the month of Elul, it is a custom to sound the shofar each weekday morning? The sound of the shofar reminds us that Rosh Hashanah is coming.

Learn more about the meaning of the Shofar in “Fire and Faith,” an audio story from Chaim the Storyteller.

Our feature film this week is an excerpt of “Young Abraham,” the famous story from the Midrash about how Abraham destroyed the idols in his father’s shop.

Fans of “The Shpy” will love this installment, where the Shpy reminisces about his childhood and what it was like growing up in a Shpy family.

To help keep you cool and refreshed during these last days of summer, we’ve including a refreshing fruit punch recipe you can make at home.

Be sure to check out all of this week’s features, including the Parshah Game Show — where you star in “The Parshah Challenge!”

Have a great week,

Your friends @ JewishKids.org

ONCE UPON A CHASID: The Dripping Hat (Shoftim)

Elul 2, 5774 · August 28, 2014
The Dripping Hat

Be wholesome (‘tamim’) with G-d (18:13)

To be ‘tamim’ with G-d means: Walk with Him with simplicity and without guile. Do not seek to manipulate the future; rather, accept whatever He brings upon you wholeheartedly. Then, He will be with you and you will reap the rewards of His apportionment.

– Rashi’s commentary

When Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi was released from his imprisonment in 1798, there was great rejoicing and celebration. At one of the farbrengens at the Rebbe’s synagogue in Li’ozna, the celebrating chassidim invented a most unique dance: a barrel of vodka was set up in the center of the room, with a dipper at its side; as each chassid passed the barrel, he dipped in for a l’chayim. Round and round swirled the dancers, dip, dip, dip, went the dipper.

Soon the predictable happened: the hat of one of the dancing chassidim took a nose-dive into the barrel. Rabbi Schneur Zalman himself fished out the hat, replaced it on the young man’s head, and quoted: “A hat of salvation upon his head.”1That year, the young chassid became extremely wealthy.

One year later, when the celebration and the dance were repeated, an enterprising young chassid decided to try the hat trick himself. As he passed the barrel, he nonchalantly flipped his hat into its spirited contents. The Rebbe rewarded him with nary a glance…

CHASSIDIC DIMENSION: Two Forms of Witnesses (Shoftim)

Elul 2, 5774 · August 28, 2014
Shoftim
Two Forms of Witnesses

In the Torah portion of Shoftim we learn: “The testimony of one witness does not stand against a person with regard to any sin or iniquity that he may have committed; a case can be established [only] through the testimony of [at least] two or three witnesses.”1

Specifically, there are two categories of witnesses: a) witnesses who verify specific facts or events;2 b) witnesses who were themselves an integral part of the events.3

An example of the first category are witnesses to a loan, whose sole purpose is to verify the deed. They have no part in the legal transaction; even if the loan were transacted without witnesses the borrower is no less obligated to repay the lender.

An example of the second category are witnesses to a marriage; their presence constitutes an integral part of the ceremony itself; according to Jewish law4 a couple cannot become husband and wife without the presence of bonafide witnesses.

These two categories of witnesses, witnesses who verify and witnesses who are an integral part of the event itself, exist within a spiritual context as well.

Scripture states:5 “‘You are My witnesses,’ says the L-rd.” In commenting upon this verse, the Zohar provides two explanations:6 a) “You” refers to the Jewish people; b) “You” refers to heaven and earth, concerning which it is written,7 “Today I call heaven and earth as witnesses before you.”

These two sets of witnesses, the Jewish people and heaven and earth, correspond to the two previously described categories of witnesses in the following manner:

The testimony of witnesses is only germane to a matter that is otherwise concealed; something that is revealed to all does not require witnesses.8

In a spiritual sense this means witnesses are not needed to testify to the fact that G-d provides life, for this is known to all.9 One need but observe the manner in which the universe is conducted and one will readily perceive G-d’s handiwork and the Divine life force that vivifies all creation.

Even with regard to G-dliness that can only be believed in but not perceived, witnesses and testimony are superfluous. For although this degree of G-dliness cannot be grasped intellectually, intellect itself decrees that there are levels of Divinity that go beyond the bonds of intellect. Once a thinking person concludes that G-dliness must permeate this world in order for it to exist, he will eventually realize that the degree of G-dliness that provides this world with life is not the most critical; there are levels that entirely transcend the world and man’s intellect.

Therefore, with regard to this level as well, the testimony of witnesses is not germane, for though this level of G-dliness is not in a state of revelation — it is suprarational — nevertheless, intellect itself demands that it exist. Therefore, this level too falls within the purview of “something that will eventually be revealed to all,” concerning which testimony does not apply.

Testimony and witnesses do, however, apply to G-d’s essence , which is totally concealed from intellect, and indeed is concealed from any revelatory level. Here, witnesses are necessary to reveal His essence. This is accomplished in ways reflecting the two types of witnesses:

The infinite power vested within heaven and earth serves as “ascertaining witnesses” to G-d’s true infinitude; the Jews’ ability to draw down G-d’s essence within this world through their spiritual service is the form of witnessing wherein the witnesses are “witnesses who are an integral part of the event itself.”

Jews are able to accomplish this because they are rooted in G-d’s essence; they are therefore able, through their service of Torah and mitzvos , to draw His Essence into this world.

Emotions — A Tree of the Field

In the Torah portion Shoftim we are commanded to treat trees with respect, for “Man is a tree of the field.”10 What is the resemblance between the loftiest creature and lowly vegetation?

The special quality of plants and trees lies in their attachment to the earth, the source from whence they derive their existence and nourishment. This is particularly true with regard to trees. Other plant life, such as grain, vegetables, etc., do not exist in such a continually attached state, for they soon wither and die. The fact that trees are able to withstand winter’s frosts and summer’s heat indicates that they have a particularly strong attachment to the earth, an attachment that enables them to endure difficult times and continue to bear fruit.

Man is a microcosm;11 just as the world as a whole is composed of inanimate matter, vegetable matter, animals and men, so too are these qualities to be found within each and every individual.

A person’s emotive traits are likened to vegetation,12 for they embody growth and development. And although intelligence grows as well, intellect also has an “animal” aspect in that it constantly undergoes movement and change, similar to an animal’s ability to roam. Further, man’s emotive traits tend to be self-limiting — a kind person is inevitably gentle, a severe person will almost always deal with others in a stern manner. For this reason too, the emotive traits are likened to vegetation.

Comprehension, however, understands things as they truly are, not as the person wishes them to be. The conclusions drawn from a concept will vary according to the concept itself, leading sometimes to kindness and sometimes to severity.

Just as in the macrocosm, vegetation is unique in its constant unification with its source, so too within man, the emotive powers are always attached to a person’s essence. This also explains why emotional traits and tendencies are so powerful, and why it is so very difficult for a kind person to become severe, etc.

By likening man to “a tree in the field,” the Torah is in effect telling us that the true test of an individual is not so much his intellectual qualities but his emotional ones; it is they that take the measure of the man.13

It follows that man’s labor and toil with regard to self-improvement is to be directed more towards refining his emotional traits than towards refining his mind;14 perfecting and polishing one’s emotive character has the greatest impact on a person’s essence.

In fact, refining one’s emotive traits is deemed to be so important that intellectual comprehension is not considered complete if it does not affect one’s emotions — “Know this day and take [this knowledge] unto your heart.”15

Just as this is so with regard to each individual, so too regarding the Jewish people as a whole:

All Jews are descendants of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov, and as such are constantly attached to them and their qualities. The main qualities of the Patriarchs lay not so much in matters of intellect as in emotion,16 for Avraham epitomized kindness and love, Yitzchak severity and fear, Yaakov mercy and beauty — the three traits that encompass the emotional spectrum.17

These sterling qualities — the “trees of the field” — are the birthright of each and every Jew. They must merely be revealed, refined and developed to the greatest possible extent.

WEEKLY ALIYOT: Parshat Shoftim

Elul 1, 5774 · August 27, 2014
Shoftim Aliya Summary

General Overview: This week’s reading, Shoftim, addresses fundamental issues pertaining to the leadership of the Jewish people. It begins with a discussion regarding judges, and later discusses the concept of the kings, prophets, and thekohanim (priests). Many commandments are introduced in this weeks reading, including: appointing judges, the obligation to follow Rabbinic Law and the words of the prophets, the obligations of a king, the punishment for perjury, laws of war, and the procedure for dealing with unsolved murders.


First Aliyah: We are commanded to appoint judges in every city of Israel. These judges are instructed to adjudicate fairly. Capital punishment is prescribed for idolatry, and various idolatrous practices are banned. The sacrifices we offer to G‑d must be blemishless. We must follow the rulings of the Sanhedrin, the Rabbinic Supreme Court, and the Oral Law. Refusal to accept the Sanhedrin’s authority is a capital offense.


Second Aliyah: Moses instructs the Israelites to coronate a king after they enter Israel. A Jewish king may not amass an excessive amount of horses, wives, or personal wealth. The king writes for himself two Torah scrolls. One of them remains with him at all times — a constant reminder to remain humble and follow G‑d’s Law.


Third Aliyah: The Kohanim were chosen by G‑d to be His holy servants. They do not receive an inheritance (portion) in the Land of Israel, because “G‑d is their inheritance.” Instead, the Kohanim are the beneficiaries of various priestly gifts; selections of meat from certain sacrifices, as well as tithes from crops and animal shearings.


Fourth Aliyah: Although the Priestly families were divided into many shifts, each serving in the Temple in their designated turn, a Kohen always retains the right to come to the Temple and personally offer his personal sacrifices. This section then contains prohibitions against divination, fortunetelling and similar occult practices. Instead of probing into the future we are commanded to put our faith and trust in G‑d.


Fifth Aliyah: We also have no need for these abovementioned abominable practices because we are blessed with prophets who transmit G‑d’s messages to His people. We are commanded to obey these prophets. This section prescribes the punishments for non-compliance with prophets’ words, as well as for an individual who falsely claims to speak in G‑d’s name. This aliyah then reiterates the command to establish cities of refuge for the inadvertent murderer. Moses commands the Jews to designate six such cities, and when G‑d expands the borders of the land (with the coming of Moshiach) to add another three cities of refuge.


Sixth Aliyah: A minimum of two witnesses are required to secure a conviction in a capital or corporeal punishment case. Individuals who testify falsely are liable to receive the punishment which they sought to have imposed upon their innocent victim. The procedure for battle is outlined in this section. When approaching the battlefield, aKohen addresses the troops, admonishing them not to fear the enemy, and listing the various individuals who are exempt from military duty, such as one who has recently betrothed a woman or built a new home, or a fainthearted and fearful person.


Seventh Aliyah: Before waging battle against an enemy in battle, we are commanded to make a peaceful overture. Only if the enemy does not accept the offer does battle ensue. In the battles against the Canaanite nations, if the enemy does not agree to the peace offer, the Israelites are commanded to completely annihilate them. We are forbidden to cut down fruit-bearing trees while laying siege on a city. The reading closes with the procedure to be followed in the event of an unsolved murder.

Letters and Numbers of Torah – Shoftim

The verse (Deut 17:14) “When you settle in the land… and you say, ‘Let us appoint a king…'” is the basis for the mitzvah for the Jewish people to appoint a monarch. Why is the Hebrew word for “when you settle” (v’yashavta) written with an extra letter “hei” at the end?

Studying Rashi: Parshat Shoftim

The Torah says (Deut. 18:13) “Be wholehearted with your G-d” in contrast to those who seek fortune tellers and other ways of knowing the future. Rashi explains that G-d doesn’t want us to probe the future, but to simply accept whatever comes. But aren’t we supposed to be proactive? Doesn’t G-d expect us to do our part as well? How is this to be understood?

PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL: Shoftim

Elul 1, 5774 · August 27, 2014
Shoftim
Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9

Moses instructs the people of Israel to appointjudges and law-enforcement officers in every city; “Justice, justice shall you pursue,” he commands them, and you must administer it without corruption or favoritism. Crimes must be meticulously investigated and evidence thoroughly examined — a minimum of two credible witnesses is required for conviction and punishment.

In every generation, says Moses, there will be those entrusted with the task of interpreting and applying the laws of the Torah. “According to the law that they will teach you, and the judgement they will instruct you, you shall do; you shall not turn away from the thing that they say to you, to the right nor to the left.”

Shoftim also includes the prohibitions against idolatry and sorcery; laws governing the appointment and behavior of a king; and guidelines for the creation of “cities of refuge” for the inadvertent murderer. Also set forth are many of the rules of war: the exemption from battle for one who has just married, built a home, planted a vineyardor is “afraid and soft-hearted”; the requirement to offer terms of peace before attacking a city; the prohibition against wanton destruction of something of value, exemplified by the law that forbids to cut down a fruit tree when laying siege (in this context the Torah makes the famous statement “For man is a tree of the field“).

The Parshah concludes with the law of Eglah Arufah – the special procedure to be followed when a person is killed by an unknown murderer and his body is found in a field – which underscores the responsibility of the community and its leaders not only for what they do but also for what they might have prevented fr

TORAH STUDIES: Parshat Shoftim

Elul 1, 5774 · August 27, 2014
Shoftim

In our Sidra we read of the cities of refuge, to which a man who had killed accidentally could flee, find sanctuary and atone. The month of Elul, in which this Sidra is always read, is, in time, what the cities of refuge were in space. It is a month of sanctuary and repentance, a protected time in which a man can turn from the shortcomings of his past and dedicate himself to a new and sanctified future. The Rebbe analyzes an important feature of the cities; they were only to be found in the land of Israel, even though the judges and officers who executed Torah law were to be appointed wherever Jews live. Why does the law extend everywhere, while refuge belongs to the Holy Land? And what does this imply for the month of Elul, our place of spiritual refuge in the calendar of the Jewish year?

1. The Judges and the Refuge

The month of Elul, in a well-known Chassidic comparison, is like a city of refuge.

The Sifri1 interprets the opening verse of our Sidra, “You shall set judges and officers in all your gates” to apply to “all your dwelling-places,” even those outside Israel. It then continues: One might think that cities of refuge were also to exist outside the land of Israel. Therefore the Torah uses the restrictive term “these are the cities of refuge” to indicate that they were to be provided only within Israel.

Nonetheless, the Sifri says2 that someone who committed accidental homicide outside the land of Israel and who fled to one of the cities of refuge would be granted sanctuary there. It was the cities themselves, not the people they protected, that were confined to the land of Israel.

The fact that the Sifri initiates a comparison between the “judges and officers” and the cities of refuge, indicates that they have a relationship to one another. It is this: The judges who applied the law and the officers who executed the sentences, did not aim at retribution, but at the refinement of the guilty. And the aim of the cities of refuge was to impose on the fugitive an atoning3 exile—atonement in the sense of a remorse which effaces4 the crime until he regains his original closeness to G-d’s will. We might then have thought that if this safeguard, this place of atonement, was available in the holy environment of the land of Israel, it would be all the more necessary outside its borders where it was easier to fall into wrongdoing. And yet only judges and officers were to be provided beyond the land of Israel’s borders—only the agents of the law, not its refuge.

2. Past and Future

There are two phases in teshuvah, or repentance. There is remorse over what has been done, and commitment to act differently in the future.5 These are inextricably connected. For the only test of sincere remorse is the subsequent commitment to a better way of life. To be contrite about the past without changing one’s behavior is a hollow gesture.

This is why refuge was found only in Israel. For a man could not atone while clinging to the environment which led him to sin. He might feel remorse. But he would not have taken the decisive step away from his past. For this, he had to escape to the land of Israel, i.e., to holiness. There, on its sanctified earth, his commitment to a better future could have substance.

Judges, however, could be appointed outside the land of Israel. For it is written in Pirkei Avot,6 “Do not judge your fellow-man until you come to his place.” A court which sits in the land of Israel cannot know the trials and temptations which exist outside, or the difficulties of being loyal to one’s faith in a place of exile. The land of Israel is a land where “the eyes of the L-rd your G-d are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.”7 It is a land of Divine grace. One cannot judge a man by its standards if that man lives outside its protection. So judges had to be drawn from the same environment as their defendants. They had not only to know what he had done; they had to experience for themselves the environment which brought him to it.

The Mitteler Rebbe (the second Chabad Rebbe) was once giving private audiences, when he interrupted for some time before continuing. It transpired that a man who had had an audience wanted the Rebbe’s help in setting right a particularly degrading act he had done. The Rebbe explained that one must discover some analogous quality in oneself—on however refined a level—before one can help someone to remedy his sin. His interruption of the audiences had been to attempt to find in himself this point from which he could identify with the sinner.8

It was this principle that lay behind G-d’s command to Moses when the Israelites had made the golden calf: “Go, get thee down, for thy people have dealt corruptly.”9 For at that moment, Moses was inhabiting the spiritual heights of Mt. Sinai, neither eating nor drinking, divorced from the world. The Israelites were degraded through their sin. But by saying “thy people” G-d created a bond between Moses and the people, on the basis of which Moses was able to plead on their behalf.

3. The Refuge and the Sin

Although all the cities of refuge were to be in the land of Israel, they were not all in the same territory. There were the three in the land of Israel proper—the Holy Land. Three were in trans-Jordan, where “manslaughter was common.’’10 And, in the Time to Come “the L-rd your G-d will enlarge your borders”11 three more will be provided, in the newly occupied land.

This means that every level of spirituality has its own refuge, from the relatively lawless trans-Jordan to the Holy Land, and even in the Time to Come. And this is true spiritually as well as geographically. At every stage of a man’s religious life there is the possibility of some shortcoming for which there must be refuge and atonement. Even if he never disobeys G-d’s will, he may still not have done all within his power to draw close to G-d. This is the task of the month of Elul. It is a time of self-examination when each person must ask himself whether what he has achieved was all he could have achieved.12 And if not, he must repent, and strive towards a more fulfilled future. Businessman and scholar, he who has lived in the world and he who has spent his days under the canopy of the Torah—both must make Elul a time of self-reckoning and refuge.

It is the way of the Western world to make Elul—the month of high summer—a time for vacation from study. The opposite should be the case. It is above all the time for self-examination, a time to change one’s life. And the place for this is the city of refuge, in the Holy Land, which means for us, in a place of Torah. Each Jew should set aside Elul, or at least from the 18th onwards (the last 12 days, a day for each month of the year13), or at any rate the days when Selichot are said, and make his refuge in a place of Torah. A refuge is a place to which one flees: That is, where one lays aside one’s past and makes a new home. Elul is the burial of the past for the sake of a better future. And it is the necessary preparation for the blessings of Rosh Hashanah, the promise of plenty and fulfillment in the year to come.
