Get to Heaven Keep the Seven

Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).

This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

The Portion of Vayikra

One Small Letter

Moses is engaged in a dialogue with the Almighty. The most humble of men who, since his first encounter with G-d at the burning bush, followed by the splitting of the Red Sea and his entrance into the Tabernacle, repeatedly lowers himself, now turns to G-d and requests that He not write "Vayikra" (and He called) but rather "Vayikar" (and it happened). G-d responds that that is what is written in regards to Bilaam and it alludes to his impurity. (Medrash Raba)

Moses wanted the Almighty to know that he is bothered by the very idea that future generations will read that "G-d called to Moses".

G-d responds and tell Moses that the word "Vayikra" will be written with a small "aleph".

And this is the reason why the letter "aleph" in the word "Vayikra" is written smaller than all the other letters in the Torah (Baal Haturim).

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.
