A friend told me not to submit this article because it is beyond the “average” mind. Are my readers DUMB? LAZY? Is he right? Or, is my faith in my readers correct?? I need to win this bet. Please let me know in the comments.

A little numerology - nine the number of truth – six the number of falsehood.

We repeat in the Bible and in our prayers – G-d is Truth. The true Judge, our Judge is true, and you sit on your throne in truth, the signature (AND SEAL) of G-d (at the end of the High Holiday season of judgement) is truth. All his ways are kindness and truth, kindness and truth will bring forth your countenance, and many many more inferences of this sort, especially in our liturgy from the high holidays.

We read in the bible – “righteousness - righteousness you should (incessantly) pursue”. The commentaries explain; while it is true that this is a deceiving, lying world by its very nature, our job is to never stop looking for and pursuing the truth. Whoever runs after it here in this world, because he made this his objective, he is guaranteed he will get there, in the world to come, as the bible promises, “and you will inherit ….”

The language of the primordial snake to Eve on the first day of her creation was deceit and lies. As a result, Adam and Eve were judged and all the hardships and difficulties we must now endure are the consequences of that lie. The Angel of Death is called Samael, because his entire subversion, is one of blinding, hiding the truth from the person (In Hebrew-Lesameh) at the time of his enticements, that it is worth giving away the future, or better yet, not even thinking of the consequences, for immediate gratification.

That is why when G-d created the world, the words of creation itself, as recorded in the Bible, the first three words and the last three words used to describe this creation, the end letters spell, Emet-Truth. G-ds own imprint and signature, at the beginning and at the end, on the top and on the bottom of everything.

One of the verses we proclaim before the sounds of the shofar, as we prepare to appoint G-d as our King, is, “the beginning (the start) of your words are truth, and (as a result) forever, are all the decisions of your justice.”

If, right at the start of everything related to G-d is Emet- truth, and as I pointed out, Emet-truth is right there as the last letters right at the beginning and at the end of the words that describe creation, why does the bible begin with the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet “Bet” and not the first letter of the Alphabet “Aleph” which is also the first letter of the word truth?

In Hebrew, letters represent also numbers. The word truth-Emet when added up, Aleph is 1, Mem is 40, and Tof is 400, using the first numbers, excluding the tens, we come to 1+4+4=9.

The number 9, is the (numerical value) number of truth. If you multiply 9 by any number, you never get away from 9. 9x2=18. Eight and one is 9. 9x3 = 27. Seven plus two equals nine. 9 x 56= 504. Five plus four equals nine.

When you have the energy of 9, G-dly truth, it will always lead to nine. You will always be established and unwavering with the clarity of truth, 9.

Only because G-d is truth-Emet the story of creation and the Bible needed to start with a Bet, the second letter.

In Kabbalah it is written, every day of the week is influenced by the energy of another three letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. Seven days of the week, multiplied by three letters, equals 21 letters, and there are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet.

When we begin the first day with Bet-2, Gimmel -3, Daled-4, we get, 2+3+4=9
The second day, Hay-5, Vov-6, Zayin -7. 5+6+7=18. Eight plus one equals 9
I will leave it to you to figure the other days……..
The seventh day Resh-200, Shin-300, Tof- 400, 2+3+4=9

Every day is truth, and has in it the infinite G-d of truth. Simplicity, strength and clarity are at the core underlying all the dirt that has fallen on top. It is this truth, we must dig for and pursue, and we are guaranteed to reach.

If the world was created starting with Aleph the first letter, we would get every day six.

Aleph-1, Bet-2, Gimmel-3, for the first day 1+2+3=6
The second day Daled-4, Hay-5, vov-6. 4+5+6= 15 One plus five equals six
I will leave it to you to figure the other days……..
Shabbat the seventh day would be. Koof- 100, Raish-200, Shin-300. One plus two plus three equals six!

Now let us take the word Sheker-falsehood in Hebrew, the opposite of Emet=Truth.

Shin-300, Koof- 100, Resh- 200. 3+1=2=6

G-d is truth, His Torah is truth and the life we live is one of truth and everlasting, like the truth itself.

The Angels WE create and Karma -- our own doing.

Knowledge is power.          G-dly knowledge is super power.

“The Prophet Jeremiah says, “From G-d, doesn’t come the bad or the good.” So where does it come from?

The Bible tells us, “..I am giving you today, blessings and curses. The blessing, when you will listen….and the curse, if you do not listen….” Like eating right, brings health, and eating badly, brings the opposite.

Every time a person does a good or bad thing as defined by G-d in the Bible, the person creates either a good or bad Angel. These Angels, are waiting to be ordered by G-d to carry out the only mission they know of, whether it’s a blessing or the opposite.

Anything and everything a person experiences in life, is the result of an act that was done. Sometimes we are lucky and we can be the recipient of a good deed done by an ancestor, and sometimes, the bad behavior of an earlier predecessor finally finds its way in our life.

Maimonides writes, “It is cruel to ever think that what happens is purely random and merely the ways of the world. Everything has justice and kindness as its underlying cause.”

The Talmud tells a story of Reb Huna who had 400 barrels of wine turn to vinegar. A catastrophic financial loss. The sages came to visit him and said, “You should look into your affairs.” He said to them, “Am I suspicious in your eyes?”

Reb Huna told the sages. Of course I know a loss of any proportion and how much more so of this magnitude comes from G-d, and I already looked into my tithing and I did not find that I was amiss at giving the correct amount to Charity.

They said to him. “Is G-d suspected of having done what he did without justice?”

If you are suffering from this tremendous loss related to grapes, perhaps within the grapes something is rotten. We heard, said the sages, that at the end of the day you do not give your workers the bunches of grapes they are entitled to eat.

Reb Huna said. Not only do they steal during their work you expect me to give them more at the end of the day? The sages said. If you have any complaints against your workers take them to a court hearing, that doesn’t excuse your lack of justice by denying them their share of grapes.

Reb Huna immediately accepted their rebuke and the Talmud informs us, at that moment, the vinegar turned to wine. Two opinions. Either it was an open miracle or the price of vinegar jumped up, so financially Reb Huna didn’t lose anything.

The Talmud is teaching us a very important principle. The Angels that were created from his earlier bad choice who turned the wine to vinegar, were now disabled by the more recent good resolve and choice, which created Angels to influence circumstances, so only good, would come from that wine.

During the times of the destruction of the Temple there was terrible starvation. The great Rabbi Yochonon Ben Zakai was traveling and saw a woman picking grains out of dried manure. Rabbi Yochonan asked, who are you the daughter of? She said, Nakdimon Ben Gurion. He asked her, “Where is your father’s money?” Between the lines Rabbi Yochonan was asking. For what reason do you believe, one of the three wealthiest of the time, your father, lost all his money?

She could have easily answered. Do you know who my father is? He was one of three, together with Moses and Joshua who G-d made the sun shine on his behalf. For my father, G-d personally showed him, He loved him. She could have answered, do you even know how far he went out of his way to help people with his wealth.

She answered. “My father did not give charity as “he” could have given! Don’t you know what they say in Jerusalem; the more a person gives charity the better his money is preserved?”

She answered intentionally this way, and, this is the lesson the Talmud is teaching, nothing could or would happen without input from the individual the occurrence is happening with, something she herself acknowledged.

The Talmud shares many actual stories with positive experiences, and the good deeds, and the Angels who precipitated the blessings.

According to the Bible, if a person wants an increase in goodness, the most important and powerful way to bring that about, is by creating better stronger Angels, through the increasing of good deeds – Mitzvois - G-dly acts that create this energy.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
G-DLY KNOWLEDGE IS SUPER POWER.

“It was taught in the academy of Elijah the Prophet; Anyone who studies halachot (at least two laws) every day is assured of a share in the World to Come.”( Megillah 28b) Rabbi Shneur Zalman, founder of the Chabad movement and author of the Holy Tanya, defines halachot as, "clearly adjudicated laws of practical application."

The following, are from the book of laws, compiled by the Rambam, Maimonides. Besides the great practical guidance and its worldly benefits, it additionally is comforting to know, we are securing our seat in heaven by reading this article and infusing a G-dly wisdom into our minds and lives.

Flirting and empty heads…….Get married & stay beezy.

……. a person should distance himself from levity, intoxication, and flirtation, for they are great precipitators and steps leading to forbidden relations.

A man should not live without a wife, for this practice (living with a wife) leads to great purity. Our Sages gave even greater advice, saying: "A person should always turn himself and his thoughts to the words of the Torah and expand his knowledge in wisdom, for the thoughts of forbidden relations grow strong solely in a heart which is empty of wisdom."

………Similarly, it is a mitzvah of our Sages that a man should not live without a wife, so that he will not be prompted to (forbidden) sexual thoughts. Similarly, a woman should not live without a man, so that she will not be suspected of immoral conduct……

Following directions from the INTERNET while being ignorant of the complete book of instructions, is a bad recipe…..

According to Jewish law we may only eat certain animals, and only if slaughtered according to exact specifications. If someone claims he can do it right, even though he hasn’t studied the rules……..

…..Even if such a person slaughtered animals properly in our presence four or five times and this slaughter which he performed in private appears to be a proper and a complete slaughter, it is forbidden to partake of it. Since he does not know the factors that can disqualify ritual slaughter, it is possible that he will cause the slaughter to be disqualified unknowingly. For example, he may wait ….or slaughter with a blemished knife, or the like inadvertently……and not even know what he did is unacceptable.

The commandment is ….as many little ones as possible …………

…………….Although a man has fulfilled the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) of being fruitful and multiplying, ( by having a boy and a girl) he is bound by a Rabbinic commandment not to refrain from being fruitful and multiplying as long as he is physically potent. For anyone who adds a soul to the Jewish people is considered as if he built an entire world………

And….the purpose of life is best fulfilled in this manner.

Don’t even keep the dishonesty in your possession….It’s bad energy……AND...

……..Whoever possesses an imperfect measure or weight in his home or store violates a negative commandment, as Deuteronomy 25:13 states: "You shall not have in your pocket two sets of weights...." One may not even use the imperfect measure as a chamber pot. For even if one does not use the imperfect measure oneself to buy and to sell, another person who does not know that it is imperfect may come and use it as a measure, and you will have caused another person to sin…..

Don’t even raise that hand against another……………

…….It is forbidden for a person to injure anyone, neither his own self nor another person. Not only a person who causes an injury, but anyone who strikes in strife…… whether a minor or an adult, whether a man or a woman, violates a negative commandment, as Deuteronomy 25:3 states: "Do not continue... to flog him." One may conclude that if the Torah adjures us against adding to the blows due a sinner, (as his punishment) surely this prohibition applies with regard to striking a righteous person.

It is even forbidden to raise up one's hand against a colleague. Whoever raises a hand against a colleague, even though he does not hit him, is considered to be a wicked person…..

The rules: How to date and succeed.

Tonight – July 30, 2015 and tomorrow July 31, 2015 is considered a very happy day. “There were no better (happier) days for the Jewish people, than Yom Kippur (the day of atonement) and the 15th of Av.” WOW. Our sages equate the holiest day of the year, with tonight and tomorrow!

One of the ways this happiness was celebrated was by, “the unmarried girls of Jerusalem dressed in white garments, which they borrowed, (In order not to shame those who could not afford new clothes) would go out to dance in the vineyards, calling out, "Young man, lift up your eyes and see what you choose for yourself. Do not set your eyes on beauty but set your eyes on [good] family." As it says, "Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."

A day of matchmaking. A huge source of happiness for everyone. One way to be VERY happy.

A human being was given a brain that sits at the top of his/her body for a reason. Our approach to life decisions should always begin with our mind. Does it make sense? Is this the right thing for ME? Is this a wise decision based on my values and goals?

Which means we must first figure out, what our own values are, and what we are looking for, before, heading out on the exploration path. If a person doesn’t have clearly defined goals, how can he/she ever reach anywhere specific? Leaving it up to chance, or to “I will know when I get there, and/or I will feel it in my gut” is a lazy approach, one that is afraid of putting in the work, and afraid of failure, and perhaps rejection. Not a very good batting record for reaching with success.

There is another great big problem, when not approaching decisions with a cool and detached approach of rationale thinking. Once a person allows themselves to get emotionally involved, void or very little of critical thinking, it is practically impossible to be objective any longer, and many times this becomes a recipe for huge disappointments later on. Healthy emotions, and true love are developed, ONLY, by following the proper and correct decisions of the mind.

A list of wants and needs must be made as a first step, and a percentage out of 100 linked to each need and/or want. Since no one is perfect themselves, they don’t deserve and probably wouldn’t fit well with perfection as their mate. Once a healthy majority is reached out of 100%, intellectually, things are looking on the pretty nice side.

Now, since a marriage must include also, the element and ingredient of love and attraction, an emotion, here is a wonderful piece of advice from Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

A young lady told the Rebbe, she is meeting this young man, however, she doesn't know whether she's attracted to him.

The Rebbe said. When one develops a feeling for someone, one has a desire for them, an “attraction of the heart”.
The Rebbe told her. "Take an intermission of 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, don't see each other, do not speak to each other, do not have any connection with him and after the 2 weeks, come back to me."

After 2 weeks the Rebbe asked her. “Did you feel during these 2 weeks, that you were missing anything? Did you have a desire to speak to him; did you have a desire to see him?"

When she told the Rebbe, no, to all these questions, the Rebbe said, "That's an indication, he's not for you.”

Another person once said the following personal story. “I asked the Rebbe, whether I should end the date I was meeting?

The Rebbe told me. "I can't help you, not your father can help you, not your mother and not even yourself, not even your mind. The only thing that can help you," the Rebbe pointed with his finger to his heart, "the heart. If you have a feeling for her, if you feel that not having her, you feel something is missing, a siman das iz das. (Then, this is the one) If you don't have that feeling, it's not for you."

No one can figure life out. We can only try our best, and no amount of time can ever figure it ALL out. After we have put in our sincere best efforts, we must take the jump, and say “I do” in faith, that in His hands, fulfilling His command, to get married, and standing under the encompassing aura of the Chupah, G-d blesses the union that it will last as, “an eternal edifice.”

We are, way more, than half way there. Don't miss out on this BIG one.

The 12th Principle of faith as described by Maimonides is; “I believe with complete faith in the coming of Moshiach (the Messiah), and although he may tarry, nevertheless, I wait every day for him to come.”

The first question, a soul is asked after it returns to heaven is, “did you yearn for the coming of Moshiach?” The FIRST thing G-d is interested in knowing when inquiring about a person’s entire lifetime in this world is, did you develop the desire, the longing and aspiration, for the final redemption of the entire universe?

Did you live with THIS goal, not only in mind, but as well in practice? Did you get excited every day to make the world a little better than the day before, and bring it closer to its ultimate reason for creation?

This Sunday, July 26, 2015, we memorialize the worst tragedies that befell the Jewish people. When King Solomon in Ecclesiastes enumerates the 28 different times in a person’s life, “Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven. …..A time to weep and a time to laugh …..A time to love and a time to hate…” our sages say, the “time to weep” is on the 9th of Menachem Av, corresponding to this coming Sunday.

“Whoever mourns the destructions of the two Temples, will merit (being there and) seeing its rebuilding and joyous times.” When you are there to offer support, identify with, and empathize with a person in their time of sorrow, when they win the lottery, and celebrate, you are the first one invited to participate in their happiness.

The 9th of Av, known better as Tisha b'Av, commemorates a list of catastrophes, a day set aside by G‑d for crying.

At the same time, we know, Moshiach, the seeds for the ultimate recuperation and recovery from all these calamities in a way that “ I will thank you G-d, for all the times you exhibited and protracted your wrath on me”, and the actual birth of Moshiach, takes place on this exact same day!!

In the year 1313 BCE the Israelites are in the desert, recently having experienced the miraculous Exodus, and are now poised to enter the Promised Land. They dispatched a reconnaissance mission and the spies return on the eighth day of Av to report, the land is unconquerable. “Even G-d, cannot clear the way for us” they said.

That night, the 9th of Av, the people cried and insisted they would rather go back to Egypt than be slaughtered by the Canaanites in the Promised Land. G‑d, displeased by this demonstration of distrust in His power promised, that this night will be forever a night of crying for justified reasons. The spies died immediately and the entire generation of male Israelites, were punished to die in the wilderness and never enter the Holy Land.

The First Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av (423 BCE) and five centuries later (in 69 CE), as the Romans drew closer to the Second Temple, the Jews realized their Second Temple was destroyed the same day as the first on the 9th of Av.
When the Jews rebelled against Roman rule and believed their leader, Simon bar Kochba, would fulfill their messianic longings, their hopes were cruelly dashed in 133 CE as the Jewish rebels were brutally butchered in the final battle at Betar. The date of the massacre was the 9th of Av!

One year after their conquest of Betar, the Romans plowed over the Temple Mount, our nation's holiest site.

The Jews were expelled from England in 1290 CE on Tisha b'Av.

In 1492, the Golden Age of Spain came to a close when Queen Isabella and her husband Ferdinand ordered that the Jews be banished from the land. The edict of expulsion was signed on March 31, 1492, and the Jews were given exactly four months to put their affairs in order and leave the country after hundreds of years living there, on the 9th of Av!

World War II, and the Holocaust, historians conclude was the long drawn-out conclusion of World War I which began in 1914. Amazingly enough, Germany declared war on Russia, effectively catapulting the First World War into motion, on the 9th of Av, Tisha b'Av!

In the same way, G-d promised that we would forever have real reasons to cry on this day, we were promised that in the times of Moshiach, this day will change to joy and happiness, to a day of celebration.

WE ARE, WAY MORE THAN HALF WAY THERE

Do one more good deed today, and THAT may be the last act needed, to finally tip those scales for you and the whole universe, to bring the ultimate good to the world, when “they will grind their swords to plowshares ……..and one nation will never lift a sword to another nation… peace for ALL mankind.

Healthy souls - Wine for the eyes - kosher for cancer & pain free animals

According to our sages, our bodies are made of 248 limbs as defined and described in the Mishnah, and 365 tendons (sinews).

The 16th-century kabbalist Rabbi Chaim Vital discussed this matter at some length in his magnum opus, Shaarei Kedusha. “It is understood by discerning people that a person’s body is not the actual person. The body is simply the “flesh” of the person, as is written “You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and covered me with bones and tendons” (Job 10:11)… the actual person is the (soul); the body is merely a garment the soul wears…

The same way that a tailor will make physical garment in the shape of a body, G-d similarly made the body, which is the garment of the soul, in the shape of a soul, with 248 limbs and 365 tendons … (corresponding to) 248 spiritual limbs and 365 spiritual tendons… (So that) the 365 spiritual tendons of the soul “wear” the 365 physical tendons of the body …

…the food for the soul comes from fulfilling the Torah- G-ds wisdom, which includes 613 mitzvos (commandments) corresponding to the 613 spiritual parts. The Torah (the Bible, G-ds wisdom) is called “bread” as is written, “Come, eat my bread” (Proverbs 9:5). Each of the 248 spiritual limbs gets its nourishment from a particular mitzvah (commandment) that corresponds to that limb. When a person fails to perform that particular mitzvah (commandment), the corresponding limb will lack its proper nourishment…”

We saw the above understanding put into deed, with Rabbi M.M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who advised the observance of specific commandments for specific physical ailments. For Example: For people with eye problems, the Rebbe advised to be careful with the Kiddush and Havdalah, blessings over the wine when ushering in the Shabbat and bidding farewell to the Shabbat. With people who had generalized body health issues, like cancer etc., the Rebbe would suggest greater observance with the rules of keeping kosher.

Of course, going to a qualified doctor is as well imperative. However, what is most important, and what allows for a greater chance of success when dealing with the body, is addressing the core of our lives, the source of our existence, the soul. When the soul is healthy, the body is healthier.

Would you rather have a car with a shiny perfect body, but an engine that is sluggish and barely works, or if it is a choice, an engine that works perfectly, starts perfectly even in cold weather and always runs smoothly, but a body that isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed? The same is with our lives. Between the two, a strong and healthy, happy soul, is way more of a priority.

It is for this reason Rabbi Yitzchak Luria taught the importance of fulfilling all 613 commandments in thought, speech and action to bring our souls to perfection. Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Arizal, one of the greatest of all teachers in Kabbalah mysticism taught; A soul must keep on coming back to this world and being reincarnated, until it reaches perfection in all the above three areas of existence, thought, speech and action.

This, gives all the more reason and motivation to study as many aspects and laws of our 613 commandments, even those that don’t pertain to us individually, so that the aspect and dimension of the soul, related to those commandments, is brought to its perfection. The more we study and go through books like the laws of Maimonides, the more complete, the healthier our souls are, and the more healthy and stronger our physical lives become. Besides, putting it very simply, “Its ways (the rules of the Torah) are pleasant, and all its pathways are peaceful.”

I will end with one rule from Maimonides, in the laws of observing the Shabbat.

…….. In contrast, should one mount an animal, (on the Shabbat) one may descend even if one mounted it in conscious violation of the prohibition. This leniency is granted in consideration of the pain endured by the animal. Similarly, we may remove a load from an animal on the Sabbath, because of the pain endured by the animal.

Sensitivity, in avoiding pain to animals, when possible.

How to, Prayer. Love-relationships & sacrifices. Purpose of life.

Article on Linkedin.

In the times of the Great Temple in Jerusalem, we were required to offer two sacrifices, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Our sages tell us, the world did not reach its purpose for creation until the sanctuary was built in the desert, and the sacrifices were being offered. The entire purpose for creation, is fulfilled in the sacrifices!!!

These daily sacrifices, unlike other ones that were partially offered and burned on the altar, and partially eaten by the priests and owners, these daily ones were burnt entirely on the altar.

Nowadays, until the Messiah comes, while we do not have a Grand Temple and therefore prohibited from making animal sacrifices, our sages derived from the instructions in the Bible, that our prayers, take the place of the obligation to offer these daily sacrifices.

What is a sacrifice? Why and how do they fulfill the ultimate reason for creation?

In Hebrew, the word for sacrifice is to “draw near.” The objective in coming to Jerusalem, and up the Temple mount, in total purity, and be in the holiest place on the face of this earth, where G-dliness was revealed on the highest and clearest levels, was to inject our psyche, and our entire being, into this mindset and pure G-dly reality of existence that was in the Temple. “To see, and to be seen, by G-d.”

The ultimate objective in bringing a sacrifice is to elevate and transform in every way possible, the life and the possessions, of the one making the sacrifice to a more spiritual and G-dly being.

Prayer is meant to serve the same purpose. To bring closer, mentally, emotionally, and practically, the one praying; with G-d. What G-d wants out of this physical world, is to be invited and introduced into every aspect of this physical and mundane existence. (for our own good)

Sacrifices, and prayer today are at the core of fulfilling  this intention.

The most basic and crass level of fulfilling this goal is when a person realizes the only one who can help, and is always there, and nothing stands in His way, is G-d. When a person stands before G-d and requests wisdom, recovery, greater luck in earning a living, or whatever it may be, this recognition that it is G-d, who is the ultimate source of everything, although triggered by selfish needs, accomplishes in a small degree, and an important step towards G-dliness and spirituality in one’s life.

A much deeper and higher motivation for coming before G-d, is for no personal reasons at all. There is no selfish incentive. Like the difference between entering a relationship thinking, what can “I” gain out of this? Or, being in love, yearning to always be attached with, my children, my spouse, my true friend, for reasons that transcend the “I”. “Unconditionally.”

When both partners in a relationship are in it, each one for themselves there is a very superficial connection and is bound to fall apart sooner or later. Such a relationship is based on the needs of each partner and is always rocky and never truly enriching.

In order for a person to be there for each other, whether its morning or afternoon or evening, whether the sun is shining or its raining, there must be the kind of love that goes deeper than just doing it for me, for selfish reasons, because I, was forced to do it.

Only the kind of relationship that has developed and matured, through hard work, into an unconditional love for the other, and is not on a time clock, will this love overcome difficulties and setbacks.

When a person prays before G-d, in the morning and afternoon of each day, with this complete and total loyalty and subservience to G-d, like the sacrifice that was totally burnt on the altar, because G-d is good, G-d is the source of all kindness, this creates by virtue of one’s own unconditional approach, the reciprocal response from G-d, which is complete and total in the person’s life, and then, even the most physical and inconsequential needs of the person are addressed, automatically.
