Rabbi Tuvia Bolton — shavuot 5785 5761 1

Выпуск: Rabbi Tuvia Bolton — shavuot 5785 5761 1. Темы: не определены автоматически. A famous Chabad Chassid called Rabbi Mendel Futerfass told me that in Communist Russia he once saw a Jew coming out of the "Shamos" room (the room where scraps of holy books are kept before they are buried (because it is forbidden to throw them away) with a handful of torn pages. One would think that after suffering 210 years in slavery, ten plagues, splitting of the sea, Manna from heaven, water from a rock, clouds of glory, Mount Sinai shaking amidst fire and thunder, and more, they would get something a little more impressive or mystical than "Don't kill, Don't steal" – laws which can be found in even the most primitive of cultures!

"And WHILE I was putting on the Tefillin, the Military police saw me and arrested me, and I HAD TO SIT IN JAIL FOR TWO MONTHS BECAUSE OF YOU NUTS!!!" I saw that he was really angry and I didn't know what to do, so I looked him back in the eye and as calmly as possible asked him… "So? That is why, when they later started making their own "torahs", they omitted and even glorified what the Torah forbids.} Another thing happened on the day of Matan Torah - Heaven and earth exchanged places: The deepest of all Kaballisic secrets ("I am your G-d") was revealed down here to the most mundane people (Don't Kill, Don't steal); G-d came "down" and they went "up".
