Israel Forever - An Inseparable Bond
Summary: Israel Forever - An Inseparable Bond Ohr Somayach Torah and Eretz Israel are precious gifts from G-d to His beloved people and we became worthy of them, say our Talmudic Sages, only because of suffering. As we read in this week's Torah portion of the receiving of the Torah at Sinai, we recall what was mentioned in an earlier chapter about the suffering in Egypt that prepared our people both for Torah and Eretz Yisrael. Torah and Israel are inseparable and recognition of this ... 0%
Love of the Land - Tsefat - The Great Earthquake
Summary: Love of the Land - Tsefat - The Great Earthquake Ohr Somayach The recent earthquake in Haiti recalls the earthquake that virtually destroyed Tsefat in 1837 and claimed the lives of some four thousand residents. In a eulogy for the victims of that earthquake, Rabbi Moshe Sofer, the rav of Pressburg and author of Chasam Sofer, suggested that this tragedy occurred because Jews for close to a century had chosen to live in Tsefat rather than in Jerusalem and "it was the envy of ... 0%

Summary: Torah Weekly - Parshat Yitro Ohr Somayach OVERVIEW ________ Hearing of the miracles G-d performed forBnei Yisrael, Moshe's father-in-law Yitro arrives with Moshe's wife and sons, reuniting the family in the wilderness. Seeing that the only judicial authority for the entire Jewish nation is Moshe himself, Yitro suggests that subsidiary judges be appointed to adjudicate smaller matters, leaving Moshe free to attend to larger issues.

Dvar for Yitro (Exodus 18:1-20:23)
Summary: Dvar for Yitro (Exodus 18:1-20:23) Shlomo Ressler Parshat Yitro describes Yitro hearing of the travels and trials of the Jews, Yitro being moved to convert, coming to Moshe for the conversion, and then leaving Moshe. If Yitro was so moved, why would he ever leave a situation where he's surrounded by G-d, clouds, heavenly food, and Moshe as a teacher? And how could Moshe, as a leader, allow Yitro to just leave the camp? 0%

Ethics - Listening Patiently
Summary: Ethics - Listening Patiently Ohr Somayach Question: I am frequently approached by friends and neighbors with problems they think I can solve for them. The person who approaches you as a non-professional advisor is not necessarily looking for a brilliant solution. Perhaps you have been chosen by Providence to serve as the successful advisor and will therefore gain Heavenly assistance in coming up with a solution. 0%
Israel Forever - A Song for Our Time
Summary: Israel Forever - A Song for Our Time Ohr Somayach The Shabbat in which we read Parshat Beshalach is known as Shabbat Shirah (The Shabbat of Song) because it contains the song of praise to Heaven sung by Moshe and the Children of Israel upon experiencing the miracle of the crossing of Yam Suf. A particular phrase of that Divinely-inspired song calls attention to the "terror which gripped the dwellers of Philistia" (Shmot 15:14). At a time when those who today call themselves ... 0%
Ask! - Nomenclature
Summary: So on all these baby name websites that show Hebrew names for girls, many of them that I like, he said I cannot use because although they are Hebrew, they are not Jewish. Namely (pun intended), a Hebrew name, by definition, refers specifically to a Jewish name and not just a name that may have a connection to modern or even ancient Hebrew. This would exclude even names that are used in modern Israeli Hebrew but are not Jewish names, and all the more so it excludes names as the one you ... 0%

A Weekly Byte...From Isralight (Beshalach 5770)
Summary: (Exodus 12:31) Why is Pharaoh concerned with what the Jewish people will do when they leave Egypt? Apparently, Pharaoh was sending the Jewish people out of Egypt to worship G-d, and one wonders whether he has any idea the Jews are leaving for good. Why indeed does Moshe have to ask Pharaoh to let the Jewish people go? 0%
Dvar for Beshalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16)
Summary: Dvar for Beshalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16) Shlomo Ressler Parshat Beshalach includes the famous splitting of the Sea (14:21), where Moshe led them into the water, and the sea split for them. Psalms 114 offers that "the sea saw, and ran", and commentators explain that what the sea saw was Yosef's remains, and withdrew in their merit. As Rabbi Shmulevitz asks, what was so special about Yosef's remains that the sea split because of them, rather than because of Moshe or the ... 0%
A Weekly Byte...From Isralight (Bo 5770)
Summary: G-d, in order to pass over the homes of the Jews, passed over His attribute of judgment in the name of love. One of the Jews in the ghetto believed that the yellow star the Jews were all forced to wear to was somehow a consequence of the laxity with which the Jews of Kovno had related to the mitzvah of Mezuzah, the mark of a Jewish home, before the war. A week before the Jews will be redeemed from Egypt, on the tenth day of Nissan, each family (actually, each 'home') must take a lamb, and ... 0%

Ethics - Return of the Long Wait
Summary: Ethics - Return of the Long Wait Ohr Somayach Question: As a regular reader of your column in Ohrnet I was very pleased with your piece in the Shmot edition entitled "The Long Wait" which dealt with the discomfort caused to wedding guests by the long time spent by the chatan and kallah in the yichud room before giving them an opportunity to dance in their honor. Some of my friends have criticized me, however, for approving of your attitude because, they argue, the wedding is ... 0%
S P E C I A L S - It Can't Happen Here
Summary: S P E C I A L S - It Can't Happen Here Ohr Somayach "Sometimes things happen in faraway places, in distant islands, so that Jews should be aroused to self-improvement because of their fear that such tragedy could strike them as well." The tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti, which caused death and injury to hundreds of thousands and left three million homeless, certainly sent a tsunami of emotional shock waves throughout the world. Upon experiencing an earthquake one is ... 0%

Love of the Land - Dome of Accounts
Summary: Love of the Land - Dome of Accounts Ohr Somayach Jerusalem is described by King David as "the joy of the world" and every effort was made in days of yore to preserve that atmosphere.
