Parshas Vayeira (5779)

by Mordechai Dolinsky

18:10,12– Sara heard from strangers that she would be blessed with a child.  The impression on her was not taken seriously enough.  Min HaShomayim she was critisised and Hashem wasn’t pleased with her reaction.

From travelers she should accept?  We answer she still should have had the emuna.  But she surely did; what waw expected of her, the mother of Klal Yisroel, she should feel that every second Hashem gives life and new conditions and inspires new life and of course she will have a new baby.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Lech Lecha (5779)

by Mordechai Dolinsky

17:7-8—There is something in our parsha that has tremendous significance and meaning and consequence and the full impact is not appreciated.  We have here the parsha of great ברית  , with Hashem declaring the following.  With you fulfilling your  commitment Mine shall be, להיות לך לאלוקים.  First we must understand how is this a special item?  Isn’t the presence of אלוקים  a constant, and one of the most vital and basic foundations of the truth of our belief?  “השם אלוקינו השם אחד”.

We must say that this is an additional revelation and השפעה of the manifestation of אלוקות.  This can be realized in many ways.  Hashem ties this additional connection with Him together with being the gift of being in Eretz Yisroel.  Hashem’s commitment of His part of the ברית is only pertinent in Eretz Yisroel and thus the extra gift of אלוקות does not pertain to חוץ לארץ.  Thus it comes out a very clear and obvious understanding of the Chazal that those who dwell inחוץ לארץ are missing “אלוקות”.

May Hashem bless us to have clarity and an insight to His Chazal.

Parshas Noach 5779

Parshas Noach (5779)

by Mordechai Dolinsky

7:7 Rashi brings that Noach reflected doubt regarding the coming of the storm by the fact that he was pushed into the Taiva by the force of the rain.  The obvious difficulty is it impossible to relate to any doubt that Noach could have had.

Perhaps…. Noach really knew how low and wicked the world had fallen and understood and accepted Hashem’s decree.  Nevertheless he understood the tremendous churban, how awful the destruction was going to be.  Noach was saying–they deserved it; You decreed it; but it is awful.  Hashem-You are not going to do it–You said you would but You are really not, even though they deserve it.  It was a hope…. it was a hope.

Have a wonderful and inspiring Shabbos.

Parshas Bereishis 5779

Parshas  Bereishis (5779)

by Mordechai Dolinsky

1:7  On the second day the rakiya was  created, Rashi explains it was really started on the first, but it had to dry which occurred on the second day.  Amazing, amazing, the highest level of anything, the maaseh Bereishis, nissim of nissim, yesh mayayin, Hashem had to let it dry.  From the highest level of creating worlds and worlds, but it didn’t get dry.  The lesson is, Hashem is telling us to do, on any level, just do, asher barah Elokim laasos.

The ohr was first connected to yohm without the idea of time.  Day has many aspects of special accomplishments without the connection of time.

Be inspired, accomplish, use your gift of life.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a month of true accomplishment.
