Nachas At A Glance

We were not commanded to indulge in frivolity

or foolishness, but rather in rejoicing that involves

the service of the Creator of all existence. Thus,

[Deuteronomy 28:47] states, “Because you did not

serve G-d, Your L-rd, with happiness and a glad heart,

with an abundance of prosperity.” This teaches us

that service [of G-d] involves joy. And it is impossible

to serve G-d while in the midst of levity, frivolity, or

drunkenness.

Shabbos Parshas Tzav

A dear friend asked me if it is correct that Purim may be considered the

highest level day of the Jewish year. Even higher than Yom Kippur. He had learned this at a class he attended. The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, the expression for Yom Kippur in the Torah is Yom K’Purim - literally translated as “a day like Purim”. It really doesn’t seem that way as most people would relegate

Purim to a secondary holiday. Even in the tradition, customs and obligations these two days are at opposite ends of the pole.

Yom Kippur is a day of solemnity, seriousness, denial of any physical indulgence including eating, drinking, bathing, intimacy, being observed with fasting, praying, synagogue attendance for most of the day, expiation and forgiveness of sin, confession, all while dressed in white with no leather shoes and of course no levity: a befitting expression of holiness, purity and G-dliness.

Purim is celebrated with more than regular joviality, sending food gifts to friends, sharing gifts with the less fortunate, eating delicious epicurean foods, drinking heartily – masquerading in the most outlandish costumes, making loud noises in Shul during the mention of Haman’s name, dancing, singing, and serious partying.

However, our Rabbi’s teach that what you accomplish on Yom Kippur with abstention etc. you can accomplish on Purim with joy.

The joy of Purim is not a laid back, chilled out relaxing sense of happiness but a proactive, involved, driven and passionate joy. One must have a feast (party) and drink lavishly with gusto and power. The joy of Purim is a breakthrough happiness that begins “over the top” and extends “over the top”. It is a holy joy, a Divine joy, a pure joy, a joy that includes G-d’s presence and participation, a joy that shatters all boundaries and divisiveness and a joy that is transformational, a joy of gratitude and appreciation for our continuity and eternity and a joy that brings unity being shared by men, women and children, young and old, strong and infirm, rich and poor in every place including our

beautiful Shul, the Western Wall, an army camp in Mosul or Sderot, a deck on a destroyer in the 6th fleet, prisons, hospitals and everywhere a Jew is.

Purim we get a glimpse of the joy that we will experience when Moshiach comes. So as Purim extends into Shushan Purim on Friday and this Shabbos, and on Sunday we continue to celebrate Purim in Jerusalem, let’s continue to rejoice, party, say L’chaim and sing, dance and become one with G-d.

As I danced from one party to the next in our community, from the morning banquet for the Elderly in Shul to the Upshernish of the Kopel Family, to Zalman and Chana’s Farbrengen and to the Perez Purim celebration, to the Purim Farbrengen at the Drizin Home and topped by the Shul Family Purim on Ice, and back to The Shul for a real over-the-top Purim Banquet where one felt our community as Family, I remember how during the first year I would take a bottle of spirits with some Homentashen and knock on doors of homes, offices, hospitals and prisons to have someone party with me in honor of this over-the-top Holiday. Today, having missed as many great parties as I attended, as thousands of our brothers and sisters heard the Megillah during one of more than 500 Megillah readings by our Rabbis, Shluchim, Volunteers and fellow brothers, and including the celebrations of the many synagogues in our Community, I experienced the Rebbe’s Blessing to us.

We are at the breakthrough moment to welcome Moshiach.

Transformation can happen in a split second.

And for the Jews there was light (Torah), Joy (holidays/Shabbos) Jubilation (covenant of Bris) and Honor (Tefilin). So shall it be for us.

Have a Happy Shushan Purim, great Shabbos and wonderful week.

7XHVGD\��$GDU��R. Moshe Meisels related: The (Alter) Rebbe taught us that the alef of Chassidus is to use our natural traits and instincts in avoda. The beginning of avoda is to employ the natural characteristics of man’s powers, for example the natural dominion of mind over heart.*

The calendar was entitled Hayom Yom. In describing this work Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak wrote: …”A book that is small in format…but bursting with pearls and diamonds of

choicest quality.” “A splendid palace of Chasidism.” True to these words, Hayom Yom has become a beloved classic work and a source of daily spiritual sustenance.

Constant FireBased on Likkutei Sichos, Vol. XV, pp. 50-56

Rashi, in discussing the Torah portion of 7]DY�� TXRWHV� WKH� ZRUGV�� Ȣ$� FRQVWDQW� ˉUH�shall burn upon the altar; it shall not be

H[WLQJXLVKHG�ȣ�DQG�H[SODLQV�WKDW�ȢWKH�ˉUH�DERXW�ZKLFK� WKH� YHUVH� VWDWHV� ȟFRQVWDQWȠ� �L�H�� WKH� ˉUH�upon the outer altar), shall be used for kindling the lights [of the menorah], concerning which the verse states ‘to keep the lamp constantly burning’ - it too shall be lighted from the outer altar.”

With regard to those laws which involve a number of different entities, the question arises: Which aspect is primary and which is secondary?

7KH�ODZ�RI�NLQGOLQJ�WKH�PHQRUDK�IURP�WKH�ˉUH�of the altar is a case in point: Is this a law that revolves around the lighting of the menorah, L�H��WKDW�WKH�ˉUH�IRU�OLJKWLQJ�WKH�PHQRUDK�PXVW�come from the outer altar, or is this a law that UHODWHV�WR�WKH�DOWDU��WKDW�WKH�ˉUH�RI�WKH�RXWHU�altar must be used for the kindling of the menorah?

How we answer this question becomes VLJQLˉFDQW� LI�� IRU�ZKDWHYHU� UHDVRQ�� WKHUH� LV�QR�ˉUH�XSRQ�WKH�RXWHU�DOWDU�� ,I� WKH� ODZ�UHODWHV� WR�the menorah, then when there is no outer altar ˉUH��WKH�PHQRUDK�FDQQRW�EH�OLW��%XW�LI�WKLV�ODZ�relates primarily to the outer altar, then, when there is no outer altar, the obligation to light from there ceases, and the menorah is to be lit IURP�D�GLIIHUHQW�ˉUH�

According to the halachah, it seems that this law relates to the menorah itself, implying that WKH� ˉUH� IRU� OLJKWLQJ� WKH�PHQRUDK�PXVW� FRPH�from the outer altar.

However, according to Rashi’s interpretation of the verses, this is not so. For Rashi’s statement “it, too, shall be lighted from the outer altar” implies that the law relates to the outer altar, DQG� LQGLFDWHV� WKDW� WKH� ˉUH� RI� WKH� RXWHU� DOWDU�should be used for lighting the menorah, just as it is used for the other kindlings mentioned here.

Moreover, the simple context of the verse supports this position, for the Torah places WKLV�ODZ�LQ�WKH�VHFWLRQ�WKDW�GHDOV�ZLWK�WKH�ˉUH�of the outer altar, and not in the section that

speaks about the menorah.

There is a profound lesson here in terms of man’s Divine service. The vessels found in the Mishkan and the Beit HaMikdash are divided into two general categories: those found within the structures proper, such as the inner altar, the menorah, etc., and those found in the courtyard, such as the outer altar.

These two locations refer to two distinct kinds of spiritual service: the service that has to do with oneself (the inner portion of man’s service), and the aspect of man’s service that revolves around helping one’s fellow on the “outside,” as well as that of bringing into the domain of holiness those things that are on the “outside.”

This latter manner of service is similar to the RXWHU�DOWDU��IRU�LW�ZDV�VSHFLˉFDOO\�WKHUH�WKDW�WKH�offerings of all the Jewish people - whatever their level - were brought.

0RUH� VSHFLˉFDOO\�� .LQGOLQJ� WKH� PHQRUDK�alludes to Torah study, as the verse states: “Torah is light.” One who constantly studies 7RUDK�WKXV�NHHSV�WKH�'LYLQH�ˉUH�ZLWKLQ�KLPVHOI�constantly burning; he is constantly united with G-d.

Such an individual may think that, given his elevated status, he need not be bothered with the practical performance of commandments, and surely needn’t be bothered with helping his fellow Jew and elevating the world as a whole.

The Torah therefore teaches us that the menorah was not lit from the inner altar, although it was located nearby, but from the ˉUH�RI�WKH�RXWHU�DOWDU�

This teaches us that, in order for a person to be assured that his personal “menorah” will burn FRQVWDQWO\�ZLWK�WKH�OLJKW�RI�7RUDK��KH�PXVW�ˉUVW�feel for the Jew who is on the “outside,” seeing to it that the other’s “G-dly soul, G-d’s lamp” is illuminated. Only then can one rest assured that his own illumination will remain constant.

Extinguishing the ‘No’By Rochel Holzkenner

Oftentimes, a small lesson can become a giant paradigm shift.

Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi shared one such lesson that he’d learned from his master, the saintly Maggid of Mezeritch, based on the YHUVH��Ȣ$�FRQVWDQW�ˉUH�VKDOO�EH�NHSW�EXUQLQJ�RQ�the altar; it shall not be extinguished.”

Lo tichbeh, which literally means “it shall not be extinguished,” was interpreted by the Maggid to read: “shall extinguish (tichbeh) the ‘no’ (lo)”—the negative.

Moses and Aaron knew this secret as well.

One of the may times the Torah teaches the prohibition of certain animal fats is in this week’s portion. The basic idea

is that any fat of an animal which would be RIIHUHG� LQ� WKH� FDVH� RI� D� VDFULˉFH�� FDQQRW� EH�consumed. Which is why this only applies to cows, sheep and goats, as those were the only land animals whose fat was brought on the Altar.

When teaching this law, the Torah uses interesting language, “the fat of the animal can be used for all work”. One interpretation of those words in the Talmud is that the Torah is permitting one to transact with forbidden fats despite the fact that they are not Kosher to eat. This then serves as a prohibition against other non-Kosher items, that one may not transact with them.

This is not meant to be understood as a SURKLELWLRQ� DJDLQVW� EHQHˉWLQJ� IURP� QRQ�Kosher items. That is only in unique cases such as milk and meat. However, despite the IDFW�WKDW�RQH�PD\�EHQHˉW��LQ�JHQHUDO��IURP�QRW�Kosher foods, there is a prohibition against transacting and creating a business from them. Some argue that this is a Torah prohibition, being that the Torah only allows transacting in forbidden fats, it excludes all other not Kosher foods. However, many argue that it is a Rabbinic prohibition as the Rabbis were concerned that if one transacted in these items it could lead to consuming them, or can cause others to think that the proprietor was consuming them, so they forbade this type of business.

This prohibition only applies to objects which are primarily used for food. However, if one were to sell horses or camels, even though they are not Kosher it is not a problem as their primary use is not food. (The one animal one cannot deal with even when not for food is a pig, because of a story which happened during the second Temple era.) The same would apply for any not Kosher animal, if one is transacting and farming them for a purpose not related to food, the hides or fats etc. it would be


This is the Torah (law) of the burnt offering (“ola,” lit. “which ascends”), the burnt offering which shall be burning

permitted.

Some even forbid one from purchasing not Kosher food to feed to their gentile workers. The source of this prohibition is unclear, for this does not at all resemble a business. Many authorities are lenient in this regard. However, to purchase not Kosher food to give as a gift to a gentile is something one should refrain from.If a trapper inadvertently trapped a not Kosher animal or bird, or a slaughterer after shechting an animal discovers it is not Kosher, they are permitted to sell the animal, for the prohibition is to only intentionally engage in selling not Kosher products. When the person fully intended to trap a Kosher animal or to have a kosher slaughtering, and they now have a not Kosher animal on their hands, they are permitted to sell it. The same would apply if one received a gift of not Kosher foods or purchases a lot and later discovers not Kosher food there, as long as this was not the original intent, they are permitted to sell it.

Similarly, any time one engages in food production where there is by product which isn’t Kosher, or a part of the product isn’t Kosher, as long as the person’s intent was to deal with Kosher food, they are permitted to sell any not Kosher elements which come up.This prohibition only applies to foods which are Biblically prohibited. Foods which are forbidden by the Rabbis, one may transact in. So if one has milk, cheese, bread, food cooked by a gentile or any food which the Sages forbade consuming, there are no issues at all with using them for business.

Fats represent the best of the animal. The fat must be used for Hashem and is not for us to consume. Our greatest qualities and gifts should not be used in a self-serving way to simply indulge, rather we should use them in making the world a home for Hashem.

The Purim festivities in the court of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin were truly something to behold. Every year, hundreds would travel

from near and far to attend the festive meal and to bask in the presence of their Rebbe.

In the center of it all sat the Rebbe, delivering words of Torah, gladdening the hearts of all present. From time to time the chasidim would burst into impassioned song, piercing the heavens with their voices.

One could feel the excitement in the air for a full month before Purim. Young and old were involved in getting ready for Purim; the bolder among the chasidim would attend the festive meal in disguise.

This year, however, the mood in Ruzhin was more somber than usual. The joy of the approaching holiday was intermingled with fear and dread, for dark clouds had begun to gather on the horizon of Russian Jewry.

The enemies of the Jews had been successful in persuading the czar to issue several anti-Semitic decrees, threatening their lives. The atmosphere in the Rebbe’s court, however, was entirely different. No anxious whispering was heard; the Rebbe had instructed his chasidim to prepare for Purim with more enthusiasm than usual. Their joy would annul the evil decree, he said.

Amidst this bustle of preparation it was rumored that Reb Chaikel, a husky butcher known for his strength, planned to attend the festive meal disguised as Czar Nicholas himself, the object of their dread.

Purim day arrived. The enormous study hall ZDV�ˉOOHG�WR�WKH�EULP��7KH�5HEEHȠV�IDFH�VKRQH�with a holy light, as he and his chasidim left the mundane world with all its worries behind, thoroughly immersed in the joy of Purim.

All of a sudden, however, a hush fell over the massive assemblage. The door to the great hall opened, and in walked “Czar Nicholas.” Attired LQ� UHJDO� ˉQHU\� DQG� EHGHFNHG� ZLWK� VFRUHV� RI�military medals, the “Czar” was obviously drunk. Everyone began to laugh, with the exception of the Rebbe.

7KH�5HEEHȠV�IDFH�ZDV�VHULRXV�DV�KH�̄ [HG�KLV�H\HV�upon the “Czar.” The “Czar” proceeded to make his way through the rows of tables directly to the Rebbe, haughtily pushing aside anyone who blocked his path. Everyone was amazed when the Rebbe stood up and invited him to sit at the head of his table. The “Czar” accepted the invitation and sat down, arrogantly glaring DW�WKH�FURZG�DV�EHˉWV�D�5XVVLDQ�&]DU�

The Rebbe motioned for the singing to cease. All conversation stopped as the Rebbe and the “Czar” became the focus of attention.

“O merciful leader,” began the Rebbe as he addressed the strange guest. “Do you not know that the Jewish people already suffered greatly? Now we hear that even greater evil is being plotted against us, and that even harsher decrees are being planned. I implore you,” the Rebbe continued, “please search the depths of your heart and annul these terrible decrees!”

A murmur swept through the crowd. This was WKH�ˉUVW�WLPH�WKDW�WKH�5HEEH�ZDV�SDUWLFLSDWLQJ�in the Purim levity! Yet the Rebbe’s face remained oddly serious. Not even the hint of a smile broke his lips. He watched the “Czar” closely, waiting for his reaction with bated breath.

The “Czar” was silent for a moment, as if considering his words. “Two of the decrees I will invalidate, but the third I refuse to annul.”

A look of pure sorrow passed over the Rebbe’s face. “I beg you,” he insisted, “please reconsider. 7KH� GHFUHH� ZLOO� FDXVH� XQWROG� GLIˉFXOWLHV� IRU�your Jewish citizens. I implore you!” the Rebbe cried.

It appeared that Reb Chaikel was playing his role for all its worth, obviously pleased that the Rebbe was going along with the game. “Absolutely not!” he declared. “The decree will not be revoked!” The Rebbe continued to implore the “Czar,” but all his words and tears were for naught. The “Czar” would not be budged.

Suddenly, the Rebbe arose from his seat, his IDFH� SDOH� DQG� KLV� H\HV� DˊDPH�� Ȣ*HW� RXW� RI�here, you wicked villain!” he cried, pointing his ˉQJHU�DW�WKH�Ȣ&]DU�ȣ�Ȣ%H�JRQH��DQG�OHW�PH�QHYHU�see your face again!”

It took only a few seconds to realize that the Rebbe was not jesting. The “Czar,” confused and disoriented, stood up and left the hall as quickly as possible. Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin remained quiet, absorbed in his thoughts.

Everyone waited for him to speak. At long last, the Rebbe uttered a sigh. “If only the fool would have agreed to annul the third decree, it would have really been annulled. But the forces of evil were victorious...” he lamented.

Reb Chaikel was led to his house, where he immediately fell into a drunken stupor. The next morning he had no recollection. When told of what had transpired, he could not believe that he refused the Rebbe’s request.

A few days after Purim it was learned that the ˉUVW� WZR� GHFUHHV� DJDLQVW� WKH� -HZV� KDG� EHHQ�retracted, but the third had indeed been signed into law. The chasidim then understood that far more than Purim entertainment had been at stake that year.

Florida Campus Couple

Receives AIPAC ‘Ally of the

<HDUȠ�$ZDUGRabbi Berl and Chanie Goldman at

conference with a dozen University

of Florida students

By Faygie Levy Holt, Chabad.edu

Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries who serve Jewish students at the University of Florida in Gainesville were presented with the

“AIPAC Ally of the Year” award on Monday during the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington, D.C.

Rabbi Berl and Chanie Goldman, co-directors of the Tabacinic Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville, received the award for their accomplishments on “behalf of the U.S.-Israel relationship on campus.” The couple believes that the honor belongs to a larger group of people as well, including their colleagues, Rabbi Aharon Chaim and Pessie Notik, and the students themselves.

“It’s very humbling to receive this,” said Rabbi Goldman, who pointed to the work of Chabad on Campus International and individual Chabad centers worldwide, which, he noted, “are at the heart” of building Jewish identity on campuses.

The Goldmans arrived in the nation’s capital with a dozen students, whose trip to the annual pro-Israel policy conference was sponsored by Chabad of UF. Another 40 or so students from the university’s “Gator for Israel” group were also on hand for the three-day conference, which draws thousands of people annually to hear from U.S. politicians, Israeli leaders, Middle East experts and more in an effort to gain needed advocacy tools to help support Israel.

“There is a strong anti-Semitic, anti-Israel movement on campuses today, and many Jewish students feel disarmed and threatened,” stated Rabbi Goldman. “They feel attacked, and it affects not only their understanding and knowledge about Israel, but their involvement in Jewish life as well. We need to give them the right tools so they can be proud to be Jewish and be involved in Jewish activities.”

Noting that all Jewish students are welcome at Chabad—regardless of their background, political views or other opinions—the rabbi said he and his wife work to provide a wide range of classes and study on Jewish topics that students might not have been exposed to before, such as a biblical perspective of Israel.

They also co-sponsor Israel-solidarity events, including a huge rally in October after a wave of terror attacks and stabbings in Israel, and right before many students traveled to New York for the annual Chabad on Campus International Shabbaton. More recently, they held a forum with a panel discussion on Israel and anti-Semitism on college campuses. This is in addition to their regular slate of Jewish holiday events, Shabbat services and meals, social programs and opportunities for Israel travel.

“We are on the front lines,” said Goldman. “As shluchim [emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe—Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory], we have a responsibility to effect and empower students in a practical way,” explained the rabbi. “Our job is to nurture them and to help them grow in their Jewish learning in order to enhance and empower them, and build a strong Jewish community at the University of Florida.”

The priest whose job it was to light WKH�PHQRUD�GLG�VR�ZLWK�D�ˊDPH�WDNHQ�from the outer altar. This teaches an important lesson: The outer altar is symbolic of our Divine service with other people; the kindling of the menora alludes to Torah study, as it states in Proverbs, “The Torah is light.” Thus in order to merit the Torah’s light it isn’t enough to concern oneself with one’s own spiritual progress; the concern should be extended to

others as well.

L’autel extérieurAnatomie spirituelleAdapté des enseignements du Rabbi de Loubavitch

Rabbi Eléazar donnait toujours une pièce d’argent à un pauvre et seulement alors, il commençait à prier.

Le Temple de Jérusalem possédait une structure qui correspond à celle de l’être humain. Ses chambres et ses meubles ont leur équivalent dans les différents organes et facultés qui constituent l’homme. Comme le soulignent nos Sages, quand D.ieu dit à Moïse : « Ils Me feront un Sanctuaire et Je résiderai parmi eux » (Chemot 25, 8), Il ne dit pas « Je résiderai en lui » mais « en eux ». En d’autres termes, bien que le Temple constituât le lieu central du service de l’homme pour son Créateur, et l’endroit dans le monde où l’essence de la Divinité était la plus perceptible, l’objectif du service du Temple était que l’homme applique la conscience et l’expérience du Divin se dégageant du Lieu Saint dans tous les aspects de sa vie quotidienne. Ainsi, chacun des ustensiles du Temple ainsi que ce qui y était accompli possède son pareil dans la manière dont l’homme régit sa vie et sert son Créateur.

Les services accomplis dans le Temple se rangent en deux grandes catégories : « les services intérieurs » dans le Temple à proprement parler (le Heikhal) et les « services extérieurs » dans la cour du Temple (la Azara). Au niveau individuel, cela se traduit dans les deux domaines de base du comportement humain : le développement intérieur et spirituel de l’homme et les aspects les plus extérieurs de sa vie, ses efforts pour UDIˉQHU� VRQ� ¬WUH� FRUSRUHO� HW� VRQ� LPSOLFDWLRQ�avec son prochain et le monde environnant.

/D�YRLH�GH�OD�ˊDPPHLe sentiment instinctif d’un homme pourrait être qu’il doit se frayer un chemin de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur. D’abord, il se concentrera sur les besoins intérieurs de son âme et seulement après il prêtera attention aux sujets « extérieurs ». Etant parvenu à une paix et une perfection intérieures, il se mettra alors à réellement LQˊXHQFHU� VRQ� HQYLURQQHPHQW�� m� 3UHQGV� VRLQ�du feu qui brûle dans ta cheminée », se dit-il, « avant de te préoccuper d’illuminer l’extérieur ».

Mais dans le Temple, les choses marchent dans le sens inverse. Le jour commence par

l’allumage du Mizbéa’h Ha’hitson, de l’« autel extérieur » qui se tient dans la cour du Temple. En fait, la loi de la Torah va même jusqu’à se demander si l’ « autel intérieur » et la Menorah (le Candélabre) doivent être allumés à partir des feux qui proviennent de l’« autel extérieur ».

Mais la gloutonnerie spirituelle n’est pas moins égocentrique que celle qui dévore la matérialité et celui qui se concentre exclusivement sur l’accomplissement et la réalisation de sa propre personne, même dans le sens le plus positif et le plus spirituel, met son Temple intérieur à l’envers.

Il est vrai que plus un homme possède de richesse en lui, plus il peut en donner aux autres. Et il est également vrai que si quelqu’un vient à avoir des manquements en lui, il lui est H[WU¬PHPHQW�GLIˉFLOH�GH�OHV�UHFWLˉHU�FKH]�DXWUXL��Et pourtant, il est sûr que les besoins d’autrui ne peuvent être ignorés, en attendant que l’on atteigne soi-même la perfection.

Bien plus, il s’avère souvent que donner aux autres permet de s’améliorer soi-même : une idée que l’on se doit de transmettre sera mieux et plus profondément comprise, aider notre ami en situation de crise ouvre pour nous des ressources de foi et de courage qui nous étaient insoupçonnées à nous-mêmes.

C’est là la leçon implicite dans le fait que la Menorah et l’« autel intérieur » étaient allumés à partir du feu qui brûlait dans la cour : aller vers l’autre, l’autre qui est en nous (c’est-à-dire notre personne physique) et l’autre, au sens littéral, celui dont la vie peut être améliorée si on lui apporte de la lumière et de la chaleur. Ces actes altruistes d’illumination allumeront, à leur tour, les « feux des maisons » dans les chambres intérieures de notre propre temple, de façon WDQJLEOH�HW�G«ˉQLWLYH��1RWUH�«WXGH�GH�OD�7RUDK�HW�notre prière imprègneront notre esprit et notre cœur avec un réel attachement au Tout Puissant.

L’offrande du pauvreTout est question de sentimentpar Zalman Posner

Les différents types d’offrandes apportées sur l’autel du Sanctuaire et à Jérusalem étaient classés en Sainteté Supérieure et Sainteté Moindre. L’offrande de Min’ha (oblation) apportée par le pauvre est appelée Kodech Kadachim une Sainteté Supérieure « semblable à l’offrande expiatoire » du repentant. (Lévitique 6, 10)

Abravanel, le célèbre commentateur espagnol, observe qu’alors que les autres offrandes peuvent être d’une Sainteté Moindre, celles du pauvre, qui donnait en faisant un grand effort HW�VDFULˉFH�GH�VD�SHUVRQQH��VRQW�GȠXQH�6DLQWHW«�Supérieure. De la même façon, l’expression de la contrition du pécheur repenti, ses remords pour ses mauvaises actions, sont chéris par son Créateur miséricordieux.

/D� VLJQLˉFDWLRQ� GH� OȠRIIUDQGH� U«VLGH� PRLQV�dans sa mesure quantitative que dans le degré d’implication de l’offrant, dans ce qu’il donne de sa propre personne. Le riche qui peut s’adonner à de grands gestes philanthropiques ne doit pas considérer ses frères moins fortunés que lui, d’un air protecteur. Et parallèlement, la mesure pour D.ieu étant le cœur, le contributeur modeste ne doit pas jeter un regard dépréciateur sur le fortuné ou se faire gloire de sa propre générosité (« si je peux donner cinq euros, il peut en donner dix mille... »). Alors que la valeur négociable des dons généreux n’est pas diminuée par l’orgueil, les petites sommes de charité données avec arrogance n’ont que peu de sens spirituellement ou matériellement.

La mujer y la NarizPor Lazer Gurkow

Un joven fue a una cita con una chica. Después de la cita les dijo a sus amigos que estaba impresionado con el carácter de la joven, pero

desconforme con la forma de su nariz. Después de varias citas, el joven se enamoró de ella. Cuando sus amigos le preguntaron por la nariz, respondió, “Cuando la miro veo una bonita cara, no una desagradable nariz.”

Durante los primeros meses de casado el joven no se dio cuenta de la forma de la nariz de su esposa, pero pronto comenzó a notar ese inconveniente de nuevo. Sólo que esta vez se sintió sorprendido cuando en realidad se dio cuenta que le gustaba.

En primer lugar su amor lo dejo ciego a los defectos físicos en la apariencia de su querida y subconscientemente aprendió incluso a ignorarlos. Luego, de tanto amor él se encaprichó con cada atributo de ella. Lo menos atrayente se hizo lo más atractivo. La nariz poco atractiva fue transformada en una fuente de atracción aún mayor.

TransformadoEl amor entre marido y mujer es una metáfora para el amor entre nosotros y Di-s.

Di-s dio instrucciones a nuestros antepasados para construir un altar en el Tabernáculo y mantener un fuego en el. La Torá dice, “La llama no puede ser extinguida” (Levítico 6:6). Los místicos interpretaron esta instrucción en una manera ligeramente diferente. El altar representa a nuestro corazón, y el fuego - nuestro amor por Di-s. Debemos mantener nuestro amor ardiente por Di-s, palpable en nuestros corazones en todo momento, y cuando lo hacemos, “El ‘no’ será extinguido.”

El no es nuestro deseo de rechazar la voluntad de Di-s periódicamente. Este no es estimulado por nuestra atracción hacia los placeres mundanos. Para fomentar un amor por Di-s debemos reducir nuestra atracción por los placeres mundanos, por lo tanto, también así también extinguimos nuestro no, nuestro deseo de decir no a Di-s.

El primer paso es apagar el no. El segundo paso es convertir el no en una fuente de aprovechamiento de nuestros deseos por los placeres mundanos para el servicio a Di-s. Cuando nuestra pasión por los placeres mundanos se convierte en una pasión por Di-s, así como el joven de la historia, que lo que en un principio veía como algo no muy atractivo luego se transformó en algo que reforzó al amor.

Un Gran MilagroEn el último Shabat antes de que nuestros antepasados salieran de Egipto seleccionaron corderos para poder realizar la ofrenda de Pesaj. Ellos explicaron a sus vecinos egipcios que fueron LQVWUXLGRV� SRU� 'L�V� SDUD� RIUHFHU� XQ� VDFULˉFLR��porque la noche de su redención es inminente. En esa noche, les dijeron, todo hombre primogénito egipcio morirá.

Al oír esto, los primogénitos egipcios se reunieron con el Faraón para que libere a los judíos, pero el Faraón se negó y estalló un enfrentamiento armado entre los primogénitos y las fuerzas de la realeza. Muchos murieron en esta batalla, pero en última instancia, las fuerzas de Faraón prevalecieron. Esta revuelta se tituló “un gran milagro” y se conmemora cada año en el Shabat antes de Pesaj.

El sutil lector se preguntará, “¿Dónde está el milagro?” La revuelta fue un acontecimiento completamente natural, y además, ¿Qué hay para celebrar?

Oposición TransformadaEl Rebe de Lubavitch explica que el milagro no fue el resultado de la batalla, sino el propio hecho de que fueron a pelear. Durante muchos años nuestros antepasados fueron esclavizados en Egipto y los egipcios gastaron todos sus recursos en perseguirlos. Los primogénitos eran s los más respetados en todo Egipto.

A lo largo de nueve plagas los egipcios estuvieron celebrando. Ellos se burlaron de Di-s y se opusieron a su demanda de liberar a nuestro pueblo.

Al igual que el joven que silenció su ambivalencia en el amor para su novia, lo mismo con Di-s. El silencio frente a los que se oponían en Egipto a liberar a su pueblo. La décima y última plaga milagrosamente ha logrado este objetivo. Se terminó la oposición y por ende se cumplió Su demanda para liberar a nuestro pueblo.

La guerra civil, sin embargo, fue más allá de este paso. No sólo que los egipcios fueron en contra de la realeza, sino también que se apoyaron en la demanda de Di-s. Por primera vez, los egipcios se unieron en apoyo a la causa judía. Esta fue la primera vez que las fuerzas organizadas contra Di-s se aliaron a Él.

Esto fue un milagro. No es un simple milagro, sino un “gran milagro”. La mayoría de los milagros sobrepasan el orden natural. Rara vez un milagro

hace cambiar la naturaleza de una persona para cumplir la voluntad Divina. Este realmente lo fue.

Los egipcios negaban en forma natural la existencia de Di-s. La guerra civil estalló debido a que muchos egipcios se volvieron en contra de su propia naturaleza. Ellos reconocieron la existencia Divina y avalaron su demanda. Esta transformación se superpone al control de arriba. Esto vino de lo más interno de sí mismo. Los primogénitos egipcios querían vivir, es por eso que querían que el pueblo judío fuera liberado de una vez por todas. Al igual TXH� HO� MRYHQ� FX\D� DPELYDOHQFLD� HQ� GHˉQLWLYD� VH�volvió en un conducto para un mayor amor.

Esto explica la razón por la que conmemoramos este Shabat este gran milagro. Este es llamado Shabat HaGadol, “El Gran Shabat”.El Shabat consiste en desconectarse y olvidarse por un día de nuestros asuntos mundanos. Di-s creó el mundo en seis días y en el séptimo descansó. Del mismo se requiere de nosotros ocuparnos de nuestros asuntos mundanos, pero en el séptimo día tiene que haber un descanso de ellos y conectarse plenamente con Di-s. En otras palabras, necesitamos un silencio de la voz mundana para que podamos dedicarnos a Di-s. Pero en este Shabat iremos un paso más adelante. En lugar de silenciar al mundo, vamos a celebrar su creación. En lugar de escapar del mundo en este Shabat, destacaremos su origen Divino. Como el primogénito que reconoció que el mundo fue creado en seis días únicamente por Di-s. (VWH�HV�XQ�JUDQ�6KDEDW�\D�TXH�SXHGH�LQˊXLU�HQ�WRGR�los demás Shabatot y por ende en todos los día de la semana que lo esperan.
