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.

The Mishna in Tractate Menachot 12;4 reads as follows: "A man may offer a minchah consisting of sixty tenths and bring them in one vessel. If one said, "I take upon myself to offer sixty-one tenths," he must bring sixty in one vessel and the one in another vessel, since the congregation brings on the first day of the festival of Sukkot] when it falls on Shabbat sixty-one tenths as a minchah], it is enough for an individual that his minchah] should be one tenth less than that of the congregation. Rabbi Shimon said: but some of these sixty-one tenths] are for the bullocks and some for the lambs, and they may not be mixed one with the other! Rather sixty tenths mingles in one vessel]. They said to him: can sixty be mingled in one vessel] and not sixty-one? He answered, so it is with all the measures prescribed by the sages: a man may immerse himself in forty seahs of water, but he may not immerse himself in forty seahs less one kortob. One may not offer one log], two, or five logs], but one may offer three, four, six, or anything above six." When one volunteers to bring a flour offering, the most that he is permitted to bring in one vessel is sixty tenths. This amount is derived from that which was sacrificed in the Temple on the first day of Sukkot when 61 tenths of flour were offered as a communal sacrifice. Therefore an individual must bring one tenth less than that of a communal offering. This law is alluded to in the crown atop the letter "samech" (whose numerical value is 60) in the word "solet" in the verse which describes the offering of the individual. (Remazei Rabbenu Yoel) | |
