Due to my spiritual impoverishment some boys have agreed to come to my apartment to give me chizzuk [boy, do I need it!] by participating in a chug/shiur. You too are invited. Thursday night 7:30 115 central park west 72 street apt. 9b [Ehrman]. One generous tzaddik offered to pay for the whole thing. I will not allow this. So a 10 dollar donation is SUGGESTED [though certainly not mandatory] to pay for the food [kosher!!!:)]. Mincha then followed later by maariv [so please don't daven earlier so that we have a minyan].
Love and blessings!!!:):)
PS - I am not humble - I am truly nothing. But there is value in Jews getting together to think about what really matters. I also thank the hosts of this event - Mr. and Mrs. Ehrman. They hosted me in their home for about 15 years and continue to treat me as a son. So touching!!!:)
PPS - Speaking of chizzuk, my friend Reb Shmuel gives me chizzuk with posts such as this [and many others].

Why, Why?
A question posed to me by a HOLY YID! : "Hashomayim shomayim lashem viha'aretz nosan livnei adam" [The heavens heavens are to Hashem and the earth is given to man] - Why is Shomayim repeated while the "earth" isn't?
PS. I keep meeting people who tell me that they read mevakesh. [I never knew that people in America also have internet access as they do in Israel.] Since it takes up my most valuable asset to write these posts i.e. time, I truly appreciate it when people tell me that they benefit. When I get to shomayim, shomayim, and Hashem will look at my record I can't imagine he will be very excited but hopefully I can say to Him: "Hashem - somebody listened when I spoke about You".
Love and blessings!:)
PPS - A special thanks to eveyone who troubled themselves to my apartment today to learn Torah - and for all of the smiles. It was ALMOST like being in Yerushalayim!:)

The Search For The Soul And How We Lose It
Something that has been troubling me: One of our goals as human beings [as opposed to animals] is to become internally focused, deep and spiritual. When a woman dresses in a certain way the men who see her become externally focused, shallow, base and animalistic.
Bnos Yisrael Hakdoshos Vihatihiros - PLEASE have mercy on your souls and the souls of the people around you and dress in such a way that makes it clear that what really matters to you is not what is visible to the human eye but what is INSIDE. When you dress otherwise you cheapen yourself. Men may enjoy looking at you but they don't respect you more. On the contrary!
Sometimes I wonder how women who attended religious schools and seminaries in Israel can dress in ways that are so suggestive. [I never say anything though - I am too polite and don't want to make her feel badly. So I am using the "mevakesh" to spread the word. But I suspect that the people who read "mevakesh" don't need this post and the people who need this post aren't reading "mevakesh".] Maybe they just don't respect themselves enough to dress in a way that will not attract attention or maybe there are other reasons. I am not saying that women should look ugly or wear a black veil. I am just saying that they should remember that as daughters of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov their standards should be higher than the general society. The general society is corrupt and morally depraved and we as the Chosen People are supposed to guide the way - and not blindly follow the latest styles.
I ask forgiveness if I caused anyone a feeling of discomfort with this post.
BLESSINGS!!:)

Raising The Light - Tzvi Moshe Kantor On The Parsha
This week’s Parsha begins with the commandment from Hashem to Aharon HaKohento light the Menorah. Sadly candles and flames have been transformed by pop-culture to be symbols of either cheesy-romantic themes or the occult witchcraft motif. Hopefully through a deeper analysis of the Torah’s approach to the concepts, we will come away with more profound understanding of a Jew’s role in the world.
Our goal is to address a very simple textual question present it the second Passuk of the Parsha. The Passuk says …Beha’aloscha Es HaNeiros. Hashem commands Aharon HaKohen - “When you kindle the lamps etc” Beha’aloscha’s translation in context is ‘to kindle’ but literally finds its root in Liha’alot to raise up. What does Hashem mean when He tells Aharon HaKohen to raise up the candles? And to make things more relevant: The Torah is supposed to be applicable to me – where I am now! What do I gain out of learning about Aharon HaKohen’s role, when it was just for him, and that time. He’s not here and neither is the Menorah, so what do I gain from this?
In order to answer this we need to present a very fundamental concept in Jewish thought: words and the various themes that they represent are all interconnected throughout all of their appearances in Torah-literature. So let’s address the very abused image of the candle and see what Hashem says about the subject. We have two Psukim, both in Mishlei:
“Ki Neir Mitzva V’Torah Ohr” – Mitzvos are the candle and Torah is the light. (6:23)
And also: “Neir Hashem Nishmas Adam” – Hashem’s candle is the soul of man. (20:23)
Out of these Psukim we gain new insight into the two aspects of the candle: The essence of a candle is deeply connected to Mitzvos and the soul of man. Ok, great, but what’s the connection?! We can begin with a beautiful Midrash that connects the two.
“Hashem says to Am Yisrael: Your candle is in my hand, and My candle is in yours. I hold your candle, “Neir Hashem Nishmas Adam” and you hold Mine, “Ki Neir Mitzva V’Torah Ohr”.
So these two Psukim are clearly connected to one another. Thus at this point we have arrived at the conclusion that whatever theme it is that a candle manifests, that concepts applies to both the Jewish soul and to Mitzvos – connecting their roles as well.
(The following are concepts from various places in the Sfas Emes found in this week’s Parsha with personal embellishments.)
To begin our analysis let’s being by conceptualizing the common denominator – the candle. What exactly is a candle? We can say a few things for certain. First a flame is always reaching upward. The flame itself, and the path of its growth is an ascending journey. Flames rise. That’s first. Second, a candle lifts up the quality of existence of its fuel, in that it takes wax or oil, very crude, raw material and steps up its whole being by transforming it into something much more lofty – heat and light: energy. In reality there is light present inside of the fuel, it just needs the candle to extract and reveal it. In essence a candle is a vessel in which dense physicality is cast upward and outward in a new form of something far loftier.
The world consists of endless dense, physical objects. Contained within all matter is the will of Hashem: how HaKadosh Baruch Hu wants it to be used or what He wants to come out of it. How? Says the Zohar, Istakel Be’Oraisa V’Bara Alma - Hashem peered into the Torah and created the world. This means that the Torah is inner-frame on which all things are formed. Inside any given object is its Penimius, its internal value – its interior component of Ratzon Hashem. This is the other half of the Passuk we mentioned before. This is the V’Torah Ohr - Torah is the light.
This is the job of Mitzvos. Just like we said that the light is present in the fuel but it needs the candle to expose it, so too the Ohr Torah, the spiritual light enclosed within physicality is revealed through the Neir Mitzva the candle of the Mitzvos.
Man serves the same purpose. The Vilna Gaon in his commentary to Mishlei makes the following parallel: In the same way that we explained that Mitzvos connect Torah down to earth, so too man connects heaven and earth. The soul is a manifestation of the heavens; (Neshama in Gematria equals HaShamayim) its source is from the highest place. The body is a manifestation of earth; the whole body boils down to natural minerals. Man as a unit is both body and soul - heaven and earth meet where body and soul do. Thus man is the connection between heaven and earth, the unification of divine and corporeal.
To begin to things together we can say that Man and Mitzva are the tools that harmonize the relationship between Ruchaniyus and Gashmius. They escalate the spirituality within the physicality. In Chassidus this concept is called being Ma’aleh the Gashmius - raising up the physicality. We could’ve said being Mekadesh, making the physicality holy. We could’ve said being Megaleh, revealing the holiness. But we say being Ma’aleh the Gashmius. Through the ‘Candle’ of Mitzvos we cause ascension to the raw physicality of this world revealing its light of Torah.
So now things should be becoming clearer. Beha’aloscha Es HaNeiros is teaching us how we as Jews function! Every single thing in the vast expanse of universe is brimming over with its Ohr Torah. Just like a candle, it’s the Mitzvos that the Jewish people carry out that elevates all of existence!
This all sounds very esoteric, but we can make it all really practical. I can live my life totally caught up in this world. I can walk around because ‘that’s just what I do’, or we can go about life with spiritually inclined minds that no matter how mundane the action is, my soul flickers upward. My intentions in everything I do, my headspace (irrelevant as to what my ‘body-space’ is) is in a higher place.
There are very concrete ways of doing this. Any Mitzva takes a mundane object and reveals its Ohr Torah, but the concept extends past the Mitzvos that I do, I can revealRatzon Hashem in every aspect of my life. While I eat dinner, it’s not jut about filling my stomach but rather what I can utilize that energy for. When I walk through the street I can repaint reality by the thoughts I choose to think. When I befriend another we can forge the relationship over the smallest irrelevancies or we can bond over something higher. Ultimately is way we elevate – in a very literal sense – the entire world around us.
With all of this in mind we can each begin to lift up our personal candles. We each can begin a life of Beha’aloscha Es HaNeiros. When we tap into the unique power of the soul and utilize the exclusive influence of Mitzvos we can change the world. B’Ezras Hashem we’ll be Zoche to realize this potential. Through this we will live lives ofmeaning and happiness, moving closer to the Creator and ultimately the redemption!

Newspapers
Since we mentioned newspapers in the previous post I wanted to share an idea mentioned in the sefer "da es atzmicha".
Chassidus teaches that a person is where his thoughts are. So for example you could be eating a delicious dinner in a fancy restaurant but if you are thinking about a grandparent who is ill in the hospital, you are really not in the restaurant but in the hospital. The physical body is not what determines your true location but your mindset.
When a person opens up a newspaper and reads about a murder, he becomes IN the murder. When reads about other crimes [I won't share more examples] he becomes PART of the act. It makes his mind filthy and impure. His drags his own mind through the gutter!
Conversely, when he thinks or reads about positive and pure behavior he likewise becomes part of it.
Newspapers are all about evil. Why would one willingly subject himself to that? Indeed people are bored and looking for stimulation but there are other forms of stimulation in this world. Here are some:
1] A gemara! Haven't found such a stimulating book in my life.
2] If you are a woman - a Tanach! [Guys too!!] Chumash with Ramban - AWESOME!
3] Visit sick people in the hospital. You will contribute a lot more to society by visiting than by reading the paper.
4] Say Tehillim! Talk to G-d!! ELEVATING!!
5] EXERCISE! Good for the body and the soul!
6] Many more examples - fill in the blanks.
But wait - If I don't read the newspaper I won't know what Obama is up to! Don't sweat it. He doesn't care what you are up to so there is no reason you should pay any attention to him.

Talk Can Be Toxic
"You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him."
"Some say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It's gossip."
Erma Bombeck
I love being Jewish!
I love Jews!
But I have a problem. Let me share it with you:
It is universally recognized that gossip is NEGATIVE. BAD. HARMFUL. So why on earth do so many people gossip?! We Jews brought to the world the notion of the centrality of positive speech yet we are so busy talking about others that we forget.
A couple gets divorced chas vishalom. People HAVE to know - "What happened?" I ask "WHAT IS IT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS WHAT HAPPENED!!"
A man in the community goes to jail. EVERYBODY knows what he did. How do they know? Because people talk!
My wife and I have a rule at home. We don't talk about other peoples business, even if it is not, strictly speaking, lashon hara. [Full disclosure - I don't always keep the rule, but I am working on it.] If we have nothing to talk about [it hasn't happened yet], I can always tell her a Torah. Or, we can sit in silence. Silence is a prized Jewish value.
If you want to work on this - read on. You don't - stop here.
1] Stop reading newspapers, they are FILLED with lashon hara.
2] Stop reading blogs unless you are certain that the writer is KNOWLEDGABLE and CAREFUL about hilchos lashon hara [a RARE combination]. Many blogs whose author presents himself/herself as religious have lashon hara [and heresy and vulgarity and ...], so be careful.
3] Have friends who don't talk about others.
4] Have a daily seder in hilchos lashon hara. This is more important than [almost?] anything you do.
5] Accustom yourself to saying COMPLIMENTARY things.
6] Fill your heart with love for others. The root of lashon hara is hatred for others.
7] Keep busy. Busy people have no time for gossip.
8] Stop reading newspapers. I am not suffering from short term memory loss. I repeat myself for emphasis. I haven't yet read a newspaper free of lashon hara. Maybe it exists. But still, a gemara is better to read in any event.
9] Daven to Hashem to help you overcome this bad habit.
There is something that happened that prompted this post but I can't tell you as that will spawn more gossip.
SWEETEST FRIENDS - LET US LEAVE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE THAN IT WAS WHEN WE ENTERED IT!!:)

Mazel Tov
A TREMENDOUS mazel tov to my Rebbe Shmuel Tzvi Rauch and Rebecca Stern on their upcoming wedding. R' Shmuel Tzvi is the nicest and most pleasant sweet tempered person on this planet and is my Rebbe in middos tovos. Plus, when we were together in Yeshiva he taught me Gemara. I don't know the kallah but she is clearly someone very special. How many other girls have a religious university named in their honor?! How many other girls are so pure and holy that R' Shmuel Tzvi would marry them. [The answer to both questions is - none!] She also once brought me something from the States that I needed for the 'kli' that carries my neshama. So I owe her my life.
Since I want to be at my Rebbe's wedding I am going to be in the US next week. For all those interested there is going to be a shiur for young women at 5:30pm next monday. The address is 115 central park west 72nd street, upper west side, apt. 9b ["Ehrman"]. The shiur is li'ilui nishmas anyone who comes, meaning that when you learn torah it elevates your neshama. Why wait till after 120 for an elevation of your soul when you can elevate it now?! Li'chaim to all!!:)
There may also be something for guys but in the meantime one of the girls organized this shiur, so that is what we are doing. If a guy wants to organize another shiur we can work it out.
My own opinion is that New York is filled with people much more worthy than I, so you can hear shiurim from them.
A vote for quality!
Love and blessings and hoping to see everyone ..... in Yerushalayim!!
