This Shabbat is called Shabbat Shuva – the Shabbat of teshuva. We know we don’t repent for our sins on Shabbat, so why is it called the Shabbat of Repentance? The Yesod v’Shoresh HaAvodah brings the Chazal which says, whoever keeps Shabbat according to halacha will be forgiven for all his sins. At this time, we all need forgiveness. Our avonot have…

The man handed him his credit card and told him to charge $52. Just then, someone else passed by, and this fellow asked him if he could help. The guy pul…

The Power of Tefillah for Others During Aseret Yemei Teshuvah

6h ago

—

The Rambam writes that although teshuvah and tefillah are powerful all year long, during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah they are even more potent and accepted immediately. As the pasuk says: דִּרְשׁוּ ה׳ בְּהִמָּצְאוֹ, קְרָאֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ קָרוֹב — seek out Hashem when He is closest, which is right now, in these days leading up to Yom Kippur. The mitzv…

Everything Can Change on Rosh Hashanah

Chazal tell us that on Rosh Hashanah, Sarah, Rachel, and Chana were remembered and decreed to have children. Rashi explains that on Rosh Hashanah, Hashem decreed for them that in the upcoming year they would each give birth. The Gemara also teaches that on Rosh Hashanah, Yosef was decreed to be released from the Egyptian prison where he had been lo…

Parashat Nitzavim: Never Losing from Doing Hashem’s Will

5d ago

—

At the end of Parashat Nitzavim, the Torah tells us: " הַחַיִּים וְהַטּוֹב נָתַתִּי לְפָנֶיךָ… וּבָחַרְתָּ בַּחַיִּים " — Hashem places life and goodness before us, and it is our job to choose life. Choosing life means choosing to follow Hashem's will, which always leads to blessing and good. At times, it may feel very difficult to do what's right.…

The Loan Comes Due

8d ago

—

The Sefer She'erit Menachem quotes the Gemara in Bava Metzia which teaches an illuminating halachah. If a man borrows a thousand dollars and leaves a collateral with the lender worth far more than the loan, saying that if he does not pay back on time the lender may keep the collateral — the halachah is that the lender may not keep it. Why? Because …

The Sound of the Shofar

The "highlight," so-to-speak, of the Rosh Hashanah prayers is the sounding of the shofar. In all, 100 sounds are blown over the course of the prayer service on Rosh Hashanah. What is the meaning and significance of this mitzvah , and what should we be thinking and feeling when we hear the shofar sound? To introduce the answer, let's consider an ana…

Chazal teach that on Rosh Hashanah, Hashem judges every individual based on what he did every second of every day over the past year. With this knowledge, we should be doing everything in our power to make teshuvah and improve our ways. Especially now, in the month of Elul, when Hashem reveals an outpouring of mercy towards us, we must take advanta…

The Best Answer

12d ago

—

One of the Torah readings on Rosh Hashanah is the story of the Akedat Yitzchak. To this day, we continue to benefit from the eternal merits Avraham Avinu gained by his willingness to sacrifice his son at Hashem's command. But there was another profound accomplishment that day. The Torah commands, " תמים תהיה עם ה' אלקיך " — Tamim Tehiyeh Im Hashem …

Recognizing Hashem’s Hand

Every neshama that comes down into this world is given a mission: to serve HaShem from the exact circumstances in which He places it. To do that, a person must learn Torah and mitzvot, so that he will know exactly what HaShem wants him to do in every situation he finds himself in. Everything we do for HaShem only benefits us, for HaShem Himself doe…

Parashat Ki Tavo: The More We Appreciate

15d ago

The pasuk says in this week's Parasha, Ki Tavo , ושמחת בכל הטוב – we are to rejoice with all of the good that Hashem gives us. In this world, when a person appreciates what others do for him, those people are happy to give him more. But when a person denies the good, it makes others turn away from giving him. At the end of the year, when we are goi…

The Treasure of Aleinu

As well, our Sages gave us the privilege of saying Aleinu at the end of every single tefillah, three times a day. If we would truly understand the treasure we ha…

The Power of Tefillah

The Chatam Sofer writes that tefillah is more readily accepted during the days of Elul and Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. This period is called Yerach Ha'etaním , which has the same numerical value as siach — to pour out our hearts in prayer. The Midrash in Parashat Ki Tavo says that Moshe Rabbenu, through ruach ha'kodesh , foresaw that the Bet HaMikdash w…
