“Thank You”. Yes indeed, “Thank You”. These Parshos reiterate and enumerate the building of the Mishkan and the manufacturing of the Bigdei Kehunah. In Parshas Pekudei, when Bnai Yisroel completed the building of the Mishkan and Bigdei Kehunah, the Posuk tells us: “Va’Yi’re Moshe Es Kol Ha’melochoh Ve’Heenai Osuh Oy’soh Ka’Asher Tzee’voh Hashem Keyn Osuh, [...]

It appears from this weeks Parsha that indeed we can. At Har Sinai the Posuk tells us: Ve’Chol Ha’Om Royen Es Hakolos V’Es Halapeydim. Rashi Z”L explains that Bnei Yisroel ‘Roiyen Es Hanishma”, they saw the sounds- that which is heard- the Aseres Hadibros emanating from Hakodesh Boruch Hu and Moshe Rabbeinu. The Sfas Emes [...]

Asks Rav Shimshon Pincus Z”L and not go directly to Makkos Bechoros? The first nine Makkos brought by Moshe Rabbeinu against Pharaoh and the Mitzriyim did not accomplish their goal of Bnai Yisroel being sent out of Mitzrayim. Pharaoh maintained his extreme stubborness throughout until Hashem B’Kevodo, U’Vatzmo; Ani V’Lo Malach, Ani V’Lo Sorof, took [...]

During the second plague of Tzvardiem even though Pharaoh’s magicians were successful in duplicating this feat, Pharaoh nevertheless implored Moshe to daven (“Hateeru”) to Hashem to stop and remove this Makeh. And as Rashi Z”L tells us “Kol Loshon Ater Pheelel Hu”, comes M’Loshon Tefillah and as in “Va’yetar Yitzchok”, a strong urging and importuning [...]
Faith & Trust – Emunah & Bitachon
Posted in Hashkafa, tagged belief, bitachon, brisker rav, emunah, faith, nazis, philosophers, philosophy, rav matisyahu salamon, rav pincus on December 9, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Rav Matisyahu Salamon Shlita, explains the difference between Emunah and Bitachon. Emunah is a “concept” or a “theory”, while Bitachon is Emuna in action, or the application of Emunah into ones everyday life and actions. Therefore, a person can theoretically be a “Ba’al Emunah” without being a “Ba’al Bitachon”. However, if one is truly a [...]

We know that there is a concept of ‘Yeridas Hadoros”. This means that there is a general weakening in our Yiddishkeit and standards of Yiddishkeit with the passing of each generation. Chazzal say this in so many words - and mention this concept in many different places. It is for this reason, for example, that if [...]

There is a misconception regarding the meaning of Bitachon- faith in Hashem. There are those who think that faith is to downplay the existence of a problem by placing your faith in Hashem. That somehow, if we train ourselves to have proper ”faith” in Hashem, we will come to the realization and appreciation that we need not [...]
