The Power of Small Talk

In Brochos 3a , where the Gemara teaches the time for Shma in the morning , it says that there are 3 signs for the right time -

- An infant gets up to nurse from its mother ,
- A wife will spend some time conversing with her husband &
- its time to say the Shma.

What is the common denominator of these 3 issues ?

All 3 are essential connections in life.

- A child must have nourishment , food , nutrition & bonding with its mother.

- A marriage must be maintained with small talk. Conversation that bonds , nurtures & develops caring , sharing & private time together.

- time to say the Shma daily - to say we Love Hashem & connect to Him on a daily basis.

Lesson of Perseverance

The Talmud , Makos 10b , says that we learn from Bilam that a person will be led based on his choices.

Answer

The non Jew had figured out logically that we need to honor our Parents all the time because they did us the greatest & most unique favor - giving us the gift of life !

That is why Hashem gave a Parah Aduma , which is one of a kind - measure for measure.

Red Cow Message

The laws of Para Aduma are rare & unique. One of the messages for us is how Hashem made laws that are remarkable & memorable. The Rambam says there were only 9 of them so far in history & the tenth will be discovered when Moshcha comes.

We were put here to emulate Hashems ways thus we can think of ideas of how tio fulfill great Mitzvos.

S. Carolina Legislature Unanimously Endorses 'United Israel'

 
by Samuel Sokol

The South Carolina state legislature has unanimously passed a bill calling on the state of Israel to retain control over the West Bank and highlighting what it terms the "cordial and mutually beneficial relations" enjoyed by Israel and South Carolina since 1948.

The bill, which was authored by Representative Alan Clemmons (R), was adopted on June 2 and was intended as an indictment of President Obama's Middle East policy, Rep. Clemmons told Israel National News.

The state lawmaker took issue with the President's belief that Jerusalem must be divided and that Israel return to the 1967 lines, he said.

Obama "said that that was what the American people wanted. I remember that I said to my wife when I heard this on Fox News, 'that's not what the American people who I know want!' The next day I started drafting the Resolution."

Clemmons "visited personally with each of the 124 members of the South Carolina House of Representatives to invite their support," he said. "Many chose to cosponsor the bill, which later passed unanimously."

According to the bill, Israel's enemies are also those of the United States and "the State of South Carolina and the nation of Israel have enjoyed cordial and mutually beneficial relations since 1948, a friendship that continues to strengthen with each passing year."

The resolution is entitled, "To commend the nation of Israel for its relations with the United States of America and with the state of South Carolina." It states, "Whereas, Israel has been granted her lands under and through the oldest recorded deed as reported in the Old Testament, a tome of scripture held sacred and reverenced by Jew and Christian, alike, as the acts and words of God; and

"Whereas, as the Grantor of said lands, God stated to the Jewish people in the Old Testament; in Leviticus, Chapter 20, Verse 24: 'Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey'; and

"Whereas, God has never rescinded his grant of said lands; and…

"Whereas, those same haters of Israel also hate, and seek to destroy, the United States of America;…

"Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the nation of Israel for its relations with the United States of America and with the State of South Carolina….

"Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of each of South Carolina's sister states within the United States of America with the request and recommendation of this body that a similar resolution to that stated herein be proposed within their respective bodies."

The resolution resolved that "the members of this body support Israel in their natural and God-given right of self-governance and self-defense upon their own lands, recognizing that Israel is neither an attacking force nor an occupier of the lands of others, and that peace can be afforded the region only through a united Israel governed under one law for all people."

While local legislatures do not enjoy any control over foreign policy in the United States, the measure is a harsh indictment of the President's current handling of affairs in the region.

Clemmons stated that he has sent copies of the bill to neighboring states and that "while I have not yet heard back from other states, I'm hopeful that my resolution will encourage others to speak out to show American solidarity with the people of Israel."

A copy of the bill was also sent to Settlement Council head Danny Dayan, who read from it publicly on Monday at a symposium in Jerusalem promoting Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

"My hope was to show the people of Israel that while South Carolina is a small state, with an even smaller Jewish population, they were not alone in their struggles," Clemmons told Israel National News. "That average hot-dog-and-apple-pie-eating-Americans recognize that Israel's hero-settlers are settling and defending the lands inherited from their forefathers, who received it from G-d, and that we support them in their efforts.

"The residents of Israel's settlements have long reminded me of the American Pioneers of the Western United States in the latter half of the 19th Century."

Peace "cannot come through division," Clemmons told Israel National News, explaining that he and his constituents "believe that peace in the region can only come to a united Israel with one law for all of her citizens."

The Palestinian Authority did not respond to requests for comment.

How to avoid Machlokes

We need to train ourselves to keep quiet & stay out of dissension & quarrels.

In Mishlei it says-

With an abundance of words it is difficult to avoid Pesha ( sin ).

The Chida says
If the Peh is first - you speak too much - that leads to sin.
But if you practice Shtika - quiet -
You will have Shefa - abundance.

The same 3 letters can be rearranged by us -
Shefa or Pesha !

One of the great lessons from Pesach Sheini which applies every day is
* When one door closes , another has opened.
If I would have ...

I missed the boat ...
That may be true , but there is another one setting sail now.
The one now can end up even better if you grab the opportunity & make it happen with heartfelt prayers to Hashem.

www.thesixconstantmitzvos.com

The 4th principal of God awareness is Ahavas Hashem, Loving God.

The cornerstone of every relationship is love and so it makes sense that one of the principals of God awareness is loving God. But how do we create love for God? How do we create love for anybody or anything? The Torah says something unique about love. The Torah commands “Ve'ahavta l'rayacha kamocha.” You have to love your close one like yourself.

That’s strange. First off, how could they command us to love someone – how can you tell me who I should and shouldn’t love? Love shouldn’t be a commandment; it should be an option? Secondly, how can I love someone else like myself!? I like me a lot. Me and myself have been hanging out for a very long time together. Even my spouse doesn’t spend as much time with me as me - so how can I love her like myself.

Lets learn love from the place we all learned it first….our parents

Imagine you were talking to a women who is 9 months pregnant.

Beshaa Tova… Thank you…. So…. are you going to love your child?.... Excuse me?... Are you going to love your child?... Of course…. How do you know? You haven’t even met him or her yet? What if he’s a brat? What if she is not your look? What if you don’t have the same interests, like sleeping through night or verbalizing your feelings as opposed to crying every time you need something. What if the kid down the block is cuter, smarter or more athletic?

The mother is either going to knock you out or assume you’re on drugs.

Why? Because parents love their babies no matter what. Why is that? Because they understand what it means to truly love somebody.

The mistake we make is that we think that love leads to commitment. That’s not the case, in truth commitment leads to love. Parents commit to loving their unborn child and so no matter what that child is born like, they love him or her. The more the parents commit, the more the child becomes a part of them, and the more they love them.

The rabbis say “v’ohavta l’reacha c’amocha”. V’ohavta – when you commit to love someone, then something amazing happens… You connect to it. You identify with it. Like a parent to a child, you don’t see it as something separate but its part of you… that’s k'amocha.

When the Jews were presented with the Torah, the marriage contract between them and God, they used this principal to forge their relationship….

Naaseh…. We commit… VeNishma… we will understand.

The fourth principal of God awareness is Loving Hashem. How? By committing. By going all in. As long as we are holding back from Him, we can’t fully love Him. Our choice is whether we want to commit – Na’aseh.

Once we do, true Ahava is right around the corner.

30 day Mitzva Review- 7

Parshas Yisro has 17 Mitzvos , which include the 10 Commandments.

25 - To believe in Hashem who created everything , is always in complete control & enables everything to happen.
This is one of the 6 constant Mitzvos which apply at all times.

26- There is no other god or powers besides Him & what He created.

27- It is forbidden to make a statue of an idol.

28- One may not bow down to an idol or do any form of service to it.

29- One may not even do crazy forms of service such as throwing rocks to markulis.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.

30 day Mitzva Review- 6

24- One may not leave the Techum borders surrounding the area he is in on Shabos. This is one Mitzva in Parshas Beshalach 16:29.
To remind us that Hashem created the world & controls it & everything has its place. Do not leave your parameters , relax & enjoy Hashem is in charge.

30 day Mitzva Review -5

18- Every first born baby boy & first born animal are to be sanctified for Hashem.
To remember that Hashem chose us to become His first born.
19- Do not eat Chomets on Pesach. This is our annual reminder of who we are & what we became.
20- Do not even keep Chomets around in your property on Pesach.

21- Tell the story of the redemption on Pesach nite. To remember all of the miracles & that Hashem is in control to run His world as He sees fit.

22 - A first born donkey should be redeemed with a sheep that is given to a Cohen. To remember that when Hashem saved us from Egypt He provided every Jew with many donkeys loaded with gold & silver.

23 - If the person fails to redeem the donkey it is put to death in a specific way.
This teaches us that if one refuses to do Mitzvos he will lose out. By doing one will always gain sooner or later.

30 day Mitzva Reveiw- 4

13- A rebellious Jew may not eat from a korban Pesach. Shmos 12 :43.

14- nor a non - Jew , even if he keeps the 7 basic laws.
This offering reminds us who we are & our unique status.

15- The meat may not be taken out of the designated area of that group.

16- None of the bones of the offering may be broken.
To remind ourselves that we became Hashems people , as Kings.

17- An uncircumcised person may not eat from it.
The offering & the Bris both show that we are connected to Hashem as His nation.

30 Day Mitzva Review - 3

9- We are obligated to clear away all Chomets from our property on erev Pesach before noon time.

10- To eat Matza the first night of Pesach. So that we remember how Hashem saved us quickly from slavery with great miracles.

11-Not to have any Chomets throughout Pesach.

12 - Not to any food that has any mixture of Chomets in it.
The evil inclination is compared to Chomets thus we need to learn to subdue & control our desires.
3 differences between Chomets & Matzah :
Symbol of Humility
Satisfied with ones portion & Matzah is produced quickly.

30 Day Mitzva Review - 2

Sefer Shmos contains 111 Mitzvos.

4- To sanctify Rosh Chodesh , thus we learn that the Holidays are dependent on our Jewish Leaders.
We also see that time is to be utilized to serve Hashem.

5- We slaughter the Pesach offering the afternoon before Pesach. This is to show that we don't believe in foreign cultures & utilize everything to serve Hashem.

6- We eat the Korban Pesach the first night roasted.

7- not rare or cooked , only roasted.

8- No leftovers.

1 - to get Married , have children & raise a family.

Mitzva to Recline

Why is reclining so significant that it is counted as one of the 4 questions which are used to zero in the great , fundamental lessons of Pesach ?

One reason is because it order to truly sit back & relax we need to recognize the reality that Hashem is in control always. He took us out of Egypt & He keeps on saving & guiding us. B. H.
