Megillat Eicha 1:15 - Part 13 "Troublesome Timing" Jeremiah mournfully bewails the crushing of heroic defenders, leaving the innocent maidens defenceless before the bestial enemy who cruelly violated and murdered them by the thousands. The verbiage mysteriously hints at a festive-like appointed time – the clarification of which opens profound new dimensions that would otherwise remain hidden beneath the surface Learn More: Eicha In Depth by Rabbi Kaplan http://www.chabad.org/search/results.asp?searchWord=Eicha+in+Depth&scope=591213

Megillat Eicha 1:16 - Part 14 "Weeping Eyes" Verse 16 presents Jerusalem crying bitterly over the savage suffering and brutal, bloody destruction of her children. Endless tears are shed for a vanished reality, as she mourns an enchanted spiritual world that so vibrantly pulsated with holiness, love and loyalty; and the limp, pale and colourless exilic generation that replaced it. With redemptive comfort and consolation seemingly so distant, her yearning for glorious restoration intensifies. This remarkable class will change your perspective on destruction, exile and the redemption we await!

Megillat Eicha 1:17 - Part 15 "The Lonely Nation" Studying Eicha verse 1:17. Zion; crying in pain and weeping incessantly, wrings her hands and desperately reaches out seeking sympathy, comfort and consolation, but no one responds! Her enemies follow her into exile; encircled and taunted she is outcast and disgraced. This class poignantly illustrates how this tragic poetry is textbook description of our Exilic Experience.

Megillat Eicha 1:18 Part 16 "Global Confession" Eicha: 1:18, Zion publicly acknowledges spiritual shortcomings, moral failures and rebelliousness. In accepting G-d’s judgment upon herself, she faithfully confesses her guilt in bringing destruction upon herself. Yet in the latter half of the verse, mournful wailing continues. This class addresses the seemingly disparate reflexes expressed in this verse, and in doing so reconciles the implicit tension between maintaining absolute faith while expressing emotional angst of sorrow in the face of tragedy. The notion of “accepting Hashem’s judgement” is presented in the broader sweep of our biblical tradition, and we encounter the tragic end of Judea’s supremely righteous last real monarch.

This class on Megillat Eicha focuses on verse 10 of the first chapter. As the destroyers entered the Holy Temple to plunder its gold and silver, they were joined by a strange accomplice who brazenly laid a hand on our greatest treasure of all, and, in a singular act of desecration, cast us to the lowest level of despair. In studying this tragic verse, you’ll discover how it provides us encouraging insight into what's really important in life – and how to best contend with the challenging realities we face today.

Megillat Eicha begins in verse 11: “All her people are sighing...” as the prophet laments the dreadful starvation that gripped the nation. Utterly consumed with hunger they exchanged handfuls of gold for tiny morsels of bread. Blinded by their insatiable quest for physical subsistence they lost sight of life’s meaning and purpose altogether. In studying this verse, you’ll also discover the non-literal modern alter-ego of this condition, and how this mournful prophesy actually provides insight, encouragement and inspiration to help us refocus our lives today.

This class focuses on the verse (Eicha, 1:13) “From on High He sent a Fire...” Our sages understood this to mean literally: G-d Himself actually rained down fire to burn the Beit HaMikdash so the heathens could not boast that they destroyed it themselves! From beneath G-d metaphorically spreads out an ensnaring trap as Jerusalem hurling us back into our exile of desolation and dysfunction whose expiration date seems to have come and gone without redemptive transformation. This all sounds most unusual; yet its message may well surprise inspire you.

The steady snowballing effect of sin will invariably accumulate until a cascade of catastrophic consequences chokes us; yet the destruction is never complete and we always rise from the ashes.

The in-depth study of Tractate Menachot starts from the very beginning, the cutting of fresh barley for the firstling fresh grain offering known as the Omer. This harvest serves as the launching pad for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65a THE REAPING | Ceremony & Sickle: Timing is Everything! Part One, opens as we are introduced to the fascinating field of pomp or circumstance that triggers the annual Post-Pesach Counting.

TOM’S TALMUD TISCH: Tractate Menachot on Sefirat Ha’Omer. | - COUNTING DAYS is a text based Genara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. This in-depth series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling fresh grain offering known as the Omer. This offering is the eponymous source for the name of our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65a - DAYS OF GLORY | Torah Triumphs on Antiquity: Conflicts and Victories that shaped Jewish Life, Religious Observance, and the course of History! In Part Two, we are introduced to Megillat Taanit, a fascinating compendium of special dates once observed by our people – back in the Second Temple (just before the rise of the Common) Era. Discover forgotten spiritual struggles and successes and learn how the anniversaries of these miraculous victories were once celebrated. And while we no longer observe these eventful dates, they marked major happenings that continue to impact Jewish life and influence our fulfilment of Torah and Mitzvot. This class analyzes two of many major disputes that once rocked the Jewish world. As history repeats itself; learning its lessons can provide valuable insight about the continued struggle between Torah Judaism and non-Halachic pseudo-religious Jewish movements. See the inherent and vast distinction between the true light of our sacred Mesorah (authentic, faith-based Torah tradition) and its pale reflection in humanly manufactured theology. Perhaps most instructive of all is how these underlying issues were resolved! This is the second Episode of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer.

50:43
The mitzvah of Sefirat HaOmer is individually performed each year as we reckon the opening days of Israel's harvest; counting up from Pesach to Shavuot. Curiously, a time-honored and sacred tradition emphasizes that this “counting” must be performed when in upright “standing” position. By tracing back to a wide range of early sources, we develop a deeper appreciation of this rule; and ultimately emerge with a solid understanding of why our physical posture has important bearing on our duty to verbalize the daily count.

Delving into Sefirat HaOmer – ritual counting from Pesach to Shavuot – the slightly disparate narrative of biblical verses lead into unique understandings of this Torah mandate, and how it might be performed in the post-temple exilic era, as separate schools of thought emerge regarding the nature this commandment today. The dominant opinion that modern-day counting is performed by rabbinic ordination alone, begs a question: how does a man-made Mitzvah create a divinely ordained festival? Remarkable insight into the counting and its effects ensues!

The Torah’s instructions about Sefirat HaOmer are precise; it must be an intact and perfect endeavour. Straightforwardly; this means each day must be counted from the night prior, thereby including the full range of each segment. An additional idea is introduced: all days must be counted in totality to account for a complete and proper Mitzvah fulfilment. Traced to their earliest sources, disparate schools of thought are presented and elucidated. Reconciliation and extraordinary insight into the counting’s nature spill over into Yiddishkeit, and ultimately life itself!

COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b -- THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR II features a Deciphering of Divine Dates to Schedule G-d's Meetings! In this Episode we are introduced to Torah teachings brought forth by Sages in the need to defend our sacred unbroken traditions from theological challenges put forward by an ancient Heretical Jewish Sect. While these Sects have long been discarded into the dustbin of history, their heretical notions continue to plague us, and the record of the give-and-take is ever relevant. As our Sages theologically locked horns with these heretical detractors of Torah Judaism, many were inspired to mine cryptic biblical verses in greater depth. In doing so layers of hidden meaning were freshly revealed. In part two of THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR, we begin to review the first two teachings which analyze the scriptural scheduling of the Chagim, and are privy to their then novel insights. This is the fourth Episode of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer.

COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b -- COUNT ON ME highlights the competing units of time created by the orbit of the heavenly luminary's vs the segments ordained by sunrise and sunset -- comprising an unchanging increment of days and nights. In this Episode we are continuing the analysis of the Torah’s precise biblical terminology about the sanctification of Rosh Chodesh, and the sanctification of Shavuot. By method of the Thirteen Hermeneutical Principals, seemingly unrelated Mitzvot are fused in common legality. This illuminates the timing of the unique commandment to Count Days upon bringing a Firstling Grain Gift to G-d. This leads to an unmistakable Torah truth about our tradition for the timing of this Mitzvah as our Sages continue to demonstrate the veracity of our sacred unbroken traditions, thereby defending them from theological challenges put forward by an ancient Heretical Jewish Sect. While these specific Sects have long ago ceased to exist, their heretical notions continue to live on - even in this post-modern era. Out of the challenges launched by these detractors, came a flowering and profusion of Torah insight. Vastly transcending their historical necessity, these ideas and discoveries went on to remain an important part of our inspired Torah tradition. This fifth segment of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer has been generously sponsored by Michelle Kahn Celebrating the life of her brother Meechael Kalman Ben Tzvi Mordechai (z”l) on his Yahrtzeit, Rosh Chodesh Iyar.

COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b -- FORTNITE FESTIVAL continues with the presentation of two more persuasive demonstrations as to the veracity of time-honoured Torah tradition regarding timing for Omer Counting. The focus will be on Pilgrim Holiday Scheduling and Calendrical Calculations. In this Episode, we will study the concluding arguments [of this four-part segment] of the Sages regarding the proper time to begin Sefirat Ha’Omer, the commandment to Count Days upon bringing a Firstling Grain Gift to G-d to schedule the immediate next Festival: Shavuot! Here, even greater clarity will be obtained by virtue of the Torah’s juxtaposition on the unique biblical terminology used to describe the proverbial Omer Offering alongside the Giant Breads of Pentecost. Comprising yet another ironclad proof of our Torah- true tradition about for the timing of this Mitzvah, this further defends us from the theological attacks of ancient Heretical Jewish Sects. To be sure, while these spiritual deviants have long ago faded into historical irrelevance, their heretical notions have continued to evolve and metastasize n in new, equally toxic forms of deviant theology -- even today! This sixth segment of the series -- entitled FORTNITE FESTIVAL -- on Sefirat Ha'Omer has been generously sponsored by Felix and Rita Zilnik to commemorate the Yahrzeit Rita’s father Yona ben David.

Jewish Custom & Convention! Learning the How and Why of our Cherished Traditions On the 9 Days. Part 1: Vegan Values Why are Wine Meat Verboten next week? The rhyme and reason behind the well established pre-Tisha B’Av ban on meat and wine is surprisingly vague and inconclusive – especially as Talmudic sources say nothing of the sort, and the tradition doesn't jibe with general mourning and bereavement practices! Tracing the generational evolution of the Halachik documentation provides us subtle hints that can lead us towards a fresh understanding of these dining limitations – allowing us to appreciate the jurisprudence behind the Ashkenazic and Sephardic applications of this kindred prohibition.

Jewish Custom & Convention! Learning the How and Why of our Cherished Traditions On the 9 Days. Part 2: When Dinner Interrupts... What’s Up with the Last Supper before the Fast of Tisha B’Av?! Observance of Tisha B’av seems to require a proverbial Seuda Hamafseket or “Last Supper” before the fasting commences. But why make hay out of final morsels; after all isn't it about abstention? A quick glance at the Mishna serves to solidify the query. Yet, a careful analysis of early Talmudic sources along with classic medieval commentary reveals tantalizing meaning and deeper purpose. A fresh new understanding of what this final meal represents, with a special emphasis on its hidden flavors can only be fully appreciated in its unusual Shabbat incarnation.
