Benefiting From A Non-Jew’s Work On Shabbat
Posted on: February 6th, 2013
Judaism → Halacha & HashkafaIf you yourself may not perform a melachah, you may not ask a non-Jew to perform it for you.

To tell you to place the Sanhedrin near to the Temple.

Judaism → TorahLet me say at the onset that I do not consider myself to be a sufficient role model when it comes to kibbud av v’eim – the 5th commandment; I humbly acknowledge my abysmal failures and inadequate performance of this critical mitzvah. However, I do detect a perilous and alarming trend, whereby performance of this mitzvah is spiraling to its lowest levels, threatening the very essence of the foundation that has sustained us over the past five millennium.

Posted on: January 31st, 2013
Judaism → ParshaThe Torah tells us that Yisro heard about the wonders Hashem had brought, and he joined the Jewish people. Rashi explains that while Yisro heard about all of the miracles, the two that actually moved him were the splitting of the sea and the war with Amalek.
