DAILY DOSE: Breaking Limits

B"H

Breaking Limits
---------------

Everything Man is given comes in a finite package. Even the tablets Moses carried down from Mount Sinai were defined and bounded.

And so, when G-d saw Moses mourning over the broken tablets, He said, "Your powers were focused when you smashed the tablets. For now you will receive a Torah you may extend wider than the sea."

When Man fails, he shatters the treasures G-d has put in his trust. But then he cries and picks up the shards to restore what he has ruined. That is when he discovers that G-d Himself was hidden inside. He discovers the Infinite.

TODAY IN JUDAISM: Thursday, October 13, 2005

B"H

----------------------------------------------------------------------
*PLEASE NOTE*:
Due to holiday observance, the Yom Kippur edition of Today in Judaism is sent on Wednesday.

Today is: Thursday, Tishrei 10, 5766
Yom Kippur

======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

• Yom Kippur Observances

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year -- the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessential core of our own souls. It is the "Day of Atonement" -- "For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G-d" (Leviticus 16:30).

For twenty-six hours, from several minutes before sunset on Tishrei 9 to after nightfall on Tishrei 10, we "afflict our souls": we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather shoes, and abstain from marital relations.

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, the Yom Kippur service included the High Priest's entry into the "Holy of Holies" to offer the ketoret -- the only time that anyone entered the Temple's innermost chamber -- and the "casting of lots" over two goats, one to be offered to G-d and the other to carry off the sins of Israel to the wilderness. Today, we spend the day in the synagogue garbed in a white garment called a kittel to resemble the sin-free angels and to waken thoughts of repentance by reminding us of the day of our death. In the course of the day we hold five prayer services: Maariv, with its solemn Kol Nidrei service, on the eve of Yom Kippur; Shacharit; Musaf, which includes a detailed account of the Temple service; Minchah, which includes the reading of the Book of Jonah [http://www.chabad.org/2548]; and Ne'illah, the "closing of the gates" service at sunset. We say the Al Chet confession of sins ten times, and recite Psalms every available moment.

The day is the most solemn of the year, yet an undertone of joy suffuses it: a joy that revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that G-d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict for a year of life, health and happiness. When the closing Ne'illah service climaxes in the resounding cries of "Hear O Israel... G-d is one" and a single blast [http://www.chabad.org/87999] of the shofar, the joy erupts in song and dance (a Chabad custom is to sing the lively niggun known as "Napoleon's March"), followed by the festive after-fast meal, making the evening following Yom Kippur a Yom Tov (festival) in its own right.

• 2nd Tablets; Day of Forgiveness (1313 BCE)

On the 10th of Tishrei of the year 2449 from creation, 82 days after the people of Israel betrayed their newly entered covenant with G-d by worshipping a Golden Calf [http://chabad.org/parshah/in-depth/default.asp?AID=39522&SummaryAnchor=TheGoldenCalf] and after Moses twice spent 40 days atop Mount Sinai pleading on their behalf, "G-d restored His goodwill with the Jewish people gladly and wholeheartedly, saying to Moses 'I have forgiven, as you ask', and gave him the Second Tablets" -- thereby establishing the day as a time for atonement, forgiveness and teshuvah [http://www.chabad.org/search/keyword.asp?kid=1244] for all generations.

LESSONS IN TANYA: Thursday, October 13, 2005

B"H

----------------------------------------------------------------------
*PLEASE NOTE*:
Due to holiday observance, the Yom Kippur edition of Lessons In Tanya is sent on Wedsenday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tishrei 10, 5766 * October 13, 2005

===============================
L E S S O N S I N T A N Y A
===============================

Today's Lesson:

Iggeret HaKodesh
(Conclusion of Epistle Twenty)
-------------------------

And from this we will be able to understand [the concept of] the elicitation of the Supernal orot, the Divine illuminations, [that are drawn down] in the Worlds of Atzilut, Beriah, Yetzirah and Asiyah;

[The lights that are drawn down to this world in response to man's divine service surpass by far the lights that are granted through "an arousal from above" as an unearned gift.]

(56) (which is the ultimate purpose for the creation of man), as is explained elsewhere.

And from this, [from the earlier explanation of the paradox of Or Chozer, whereby it is specifically in the lowest levels of Asiyah that the light of Sovev Kol Almin and the light of the Kav rebound most intensely], we can clearly understand the subject of the order of the levels [of created beings] - the inorganic, the vegetative, the animal, and the articulate being [i.e., man], which correspond to and are expressed within the composition of all created beings as the Elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air.

For though the animal [level] is higher than the vegetative [level], (61) and the articulate being is higher than the animal, nevertheless, the animal is nourished and lives by the vegetative, and the articulate being receives his vitality from them both, and even wisdom and knowledge. For, [as the Gemara states, (62) " A childdoes not know how to call `father' and `mother' until it has tasted grain."

[It is likewise written,] (63) "I had not yet eaten the meat of oxen...." [This was the explanation which R. Nachman gave to Rava, as to why the previous evening he had been unable to give the better answer to his query that he had now given. Thus we see that the meat of a mere animal is able to stimulate the mind of man. The key to this paradox, whereby the animal kingdom is nourished by the inferior vegetative kingdom, and man needs both of these inferior orders of creation, has been explained above:]

For this is an instance of Or Chozer, the light that is reflected from the lower levels to the higher, from the lowest level of Asiyah, where there is an exceedingly strong manifestation of the radiation of the radiation, and so on, [of the glimmer of a glimmer of a glimmer that is found within the physical earth,] from the [infinite] Ein Sof- light that encircles all worlds, [i.e., from the degree of Sovev Kol Almin that transcends all worlds equally], and from the Kav from the Ein Sof-light at the culmination of the "feet" of the Yosher of Adam Kadmon - [the final level of the internalized illumination that is found in all worlds.

This illumination shines there]: in a mode of Or Chozer, as stated above.

This will enable one to gain a reasoned understanding how it is that the Supernal angels of the Merkavah, [the "Celestial Chariot]," namely, the "Face of the Oxen" and the "Face of the Eagle," derive great enjoyment, and are nourished and content, from the spirit of the cattle and fowl that ascends to them from the sacrifices on the altar.

[The phrase, (64) ("My sacrifice, the bread of My burnt offerings...") may be understood on a non-literal level to mean that the sacrifices provide sustenance for G-d's "fires", i.e., for the angels.]

As the holy Zohar expresses it precisely, (65) "They derive enjoyment from their element and essence": [the spiritual root (as opposed to the animal component) of the sacrifices is reflected back to its angelic source in a mode of Or Chozer.]

Now, after these words and this truth, knowledge comes easily to the discerning, to understand through all the above the sublime worth of the practical commandments, [those performed with physical objects and with man's physicality.] For [these commandments] are the ultimate purpose for the descent of souls to this physical world, as it is written, (66) "Today [is the time] to do them."

[I.e., specifically "today", in this world of action, are we provided with the opportunity to perform mitzvot with physical objects whose creation came about from G-d's very essence, and which contain the concealed power of His very being. By perfor ming mitzvot with these objects we release this concealed power.]

[It is likewise written,] (67) "Better one hour of repentance and good deeds in this world, than all the life of the World to Come."

[At this point the first publishers of Iggeret HaKodesh wrote: Until here we found of his holy writing.]

Footnotes:

61. Note of the Rebbe: [It is superior] also with regard to its
creation; `nevertheless [it] is nourished...[by the vegetative].'
(This enables us to understand why the Element of Earth is not
mentioned here, for everything comes from the Earth. It may
likewise be said that for this reason, even after having been
created, [everything] depends on it and is nourished by it.)
62. Berachot 40a.
63. Bava Kama 71a.
64. Bamidbar 28:2.
65. III, 341a.
66. Devarim 7:11; Eruvin 22a.
67. Avot 4:17.

1. Yom Kippur Services for All
By Hillel Fendel

More than 250 special Yom Kippur services, in which religious and secular worshipers will pray together, will be held throughout the country.

Sponsoring the services is the Tzohar ("Window") rabbis' organization, which is dedicated to reaching out to the secular public and helping to fashion the country's Jewish identity via dialogue and "the search for common elements of identity." The guiding principle is that many Israelis who are not familiar with Judaism and who generally do not take part in High Holiday services will feel more comfortable participating in "prayer and study gatherings" of this nature.

Yom Kippur, literally the Day of Atonement, is a day of fasting, prayer and introspection. The country is essentially closed down; there is no public transportation or public electronic broadcasts, and stores and services are brought to a near-total standstill. Though bicycling has become a popular pastime on the holy day, to the dismay of many rabbis, even more prevalent on this day are prayer services - yet many non-religious Jews still refrain from attending, for various reasons.

The special prayer gatherings are designed to fill the void. They will be held in local community centers and schools in cities and towns of all sizes throughout the country. A full list (in Hebrew) can be found at this website. It includes twelve gatherings in Jerusalem, nine in Tel Aviv, two in Mevaseret Zion, and others in Eilat, Mitzpeh Ramon, northern Israel, Judea/Samaria, and just about everywhere else.

The custom began in 2002, with a well-attended special service in the secular Kibbutz Mitzpeh Shalem on the Dead Sea shore. That same year, then-Deputy Foreign Minister Rabbi Michael Melchior also organized over 100 similar "secular minyanim" [prayer quorums], featuring a chazan [prayer leader], an instructor, and a director, as well as some observant Jews to give "life" to the service.

Tzohar's other activities in seeking to present Orthodox Judaism in a tolerant and welcoming fashion include conducting weddings for secular couples, pre-wedding counseling for brides and grooms, educational activities, counseling for community rabbis with the goal of elevating their status and involving them in all areas of public life, and more.

The organization hopes that the 250 services it is organizing this year will provide an opportunity for the religious and non-religious sectors to experience the Yom Kippur atmosphere together, and to "pray in a traditional style in an open and friendly manner, while dealing with matters touching on Jewish and Israeli culture."

2. Mofaz Asks to Appear Before High Court
By Hillel Fendel

Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz has asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision to outlaw use of the "Neighbor Procedure." The Court is likely to agree.


The Supreme Court ruled last week that the procedure, designed to facilitate the peaceful and safe arrest of wanted Arab terrorists in Judea and Samaria, is illegal. The tactic involves asking a neighbor of the sought terrorist(s) to knock on their door and inform the occupants that the army seeks their arrest and demands their surrender. The operative assumption is that Arabs would not open fire or otherwise harm their own compatriots - whereas soldiers approaching the home are clearly at grave risk.

However, the most senior forum of the Court, including Chief Justice Aharon Barak and Deputy Chief Justice Mishael Heshin, ruled that even if the neighbor agrees to take part, the procedure is likely to endanger him without sufficient justification. "In balancing the military and humanitarian considerations," Barak wrote, "the considerations that forbid the army to use local residents have the upper hand."

The army immediately announced that it was suspending use of the procedure. However, Mofaz will now attempt to convince the Court to overturn the decision. He has asked to show the Court evidence showing that 1,200 terrorists have been arrested as a result of the procedure in question, while the cases in which the neighbors have been harmed are very rare. No one has been hurt at all in recent years, due to the IDF's accumulated experience using the procedure.

It is assumed that the Court will accept the unusual request, and will reconsider the issue in an expanded panel of five or seven justices.

Col. (res.) Rabbi Moshe Hager, head of the pre-military yeshiva academy in Yatir and a Deputy Division Commander during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, told Arutz-7 on Tuesday, "I recall only one incident in which the neighbor was hurt. This one case does not justify outlawing the procedure altogether, thus endangering our soldiers. The use of this tactic has saved our soldiers from harm many times."

Before learning of Mofaz's request, Hager said that the Supreme Court decision is "detached from reality, as well as irresponsible." He said, however, that the army would seek and find other ways to safely carry out arrests of wanted terrorists.

Asked about the security situation in the Southern Hevron Hills region in southern Judea, Rabbi Col. Hager said, "During the Oslo War, up until Operation Defensive Shield, the situation was very bad, but afterwards it improved. In the past half-year, however, Molotov cocktails have started up again, as well as rock-throwings and attempted stabbings. If the IDF does not take action, the day will not be far off when the terrorist organizations will once again revert to using firearms."

3. Federman Awarded 100,000 NIS in Damages for False Arrest
By Debbie Berman

The Jerusalem District Court ordered the government to award 100,000 NIS in damages to Noam Federman for falsely placing him under house arrest.

The court decision is being heralded as a huge victory for Israeli civil liberties, as it marks the first time damages were awarded on the grounds of false house arrest and administrative detention.

Federman claims that he has been a long-time target of the Jewish (national) section of the Shin Bet (Shabak / General Security Service).

"I'm glad the bubble of the anti-Jewish division in the Shin Bet and the state prosecutor finally burst in their faces. This gang engaged in a crusade against me, where any means were used to attempt to falsely jail me," Federman told Israel Radio today. "When it didn't work the regular way, they didn't hesitate to adopt administrative measures against me. This was the last nail in the coffin," he added.

The government alleged that Federman was involved in an attempted bombing of an Arab school in eastern Jerusalem. Although Federman continued to deny the charges against him, and asserted that he had nothing to do with the incident in question, he was placed under house arrest and then administrative detention for almost two years.

Federman's insistence on his innocence ultimately led to Judge Yaakov Tirkel's ruling that the government had no right to impose house arrest on Federman. In his ruling, Tirkel stated that a "man should be punished for his own crimes, not the crimes of others." In the wake of Tirkel's ruling, Federman decided to pursue a suit against the state to compensate him for his losses while he remained under house arrest and administrative detention.

Irving Gendelman, US Attorney and human rights advocate, saw the government's treatment of Federman as an extension of their pattern of limiting the freedom of expression of those opposed to current policy issues. "The government continues to attempt to implement its policy by limiting the freedom of expression, as a way of preventing people from displaying their opposition to those policies. The classical methods to achieve these goals have been administrative detention and house arrest, which limit a person's abilities to demonstrate or express himself freely," Gendelman told Israel National News today.

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) spokesperson, Yoav Loeff, explained that ACRI has consistently been opposed to house arrests, saying, "The decision sets an important precedent that a person is entitled to compensation for false arrest, in particular, false house arrest."

Federman said that although he was satisfied with today's ruling, he plans to launch personal suits against the members of the Jewish section of the Shabak. Federman stated his determination to "continue to fight for the land of Israel, the people of Israel, and the Torah."

4. Pollard-in-Kefiyah Posters Adorn Jerusalem
By Hillel Fendel

Activists who refuse to forget the continued incarceration of Jonathan Pollard posted thousands of controversial posters throughout Jerusalem this week, demanding that PM Sharon secure his release.

The posters take the bold step of portraying Pollard wearing an Arab kefiya, with a large headline stating: "If Pollard was a terrorist, Sharon would ensure his release."

The Committee for the Release of Jonathan Pollard notes that this is just the first of a series of protest gestures of this type. The protests are directed against the fact that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has agreed in the past to release Arab terrorists from Israeli prison, and has apparently agreed to release more in the future. It was reported today that the IDF also supports such releases, in order to strengthen Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).

Throughout the years of Arab prisoner releases, Pollard, however, has not been freed. He is about to complete his 20th year in a U.S. federal prison for having shared classified information with Israel - particularly regarding the dangers it faced from Iraq. Pollard himself wrote several years ago, "Nowhere in my indictment... was I ever described as a 'traitor,' which is hardly a surprise given the fact that the operation with which I was associated actually served to strengthen America's long-term security interests in the Middle East."

Adi Ginzberg is a leader of the Israeli campaign to arouse public awareness of the importance of pressuring the government to demand Pollard's release. "It is inconceivable," he says, "that while Pollard sits for 20 years, the State of Israel acts in accordance with a U.S. request to release terrorists who have blood on their hands."

Palestinian Authority minister Sufian Abu Zaida said on Tuesday that Israel appeared willing to reconsider the status of some PA terrorists and thus lead to their early release.

Ginzberg also said that his group would place additional posters on the homes and offices of government ministers, "so that they will no longer be able to ignore this Israeli spy who is imprisoned in the United States."

The bottom of the poster states the following:
* On November 21, 2005, Israeli agent, Jonathan Pollard will enter his 21st year of a life sentence for his activities on behalf of the security of the State of Israel.
* Sharon has repeatedly responded positively to American requests to free murders and terrorists as a gesture to Abu Mazen.
* But Sharon has never demanded the release of Jonathan Pollard from the US as a gesture to Israel.
* SHARON, RELEASE PRISONER-OF-ZION POLLARD -- NOT TERRORISTS!

An emotional Selichot prayer rally was held on behalf of Jonathan Pollard at the Machpelah Cave in Hevron on Monday night. Among the standing-room only crowd were former Chief Rabbi Mordecai Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, and Hevron's Rabbi Hillel Horowitz.

5. Netzarim Update
By Hillel Fendel

The population of the former Jewish Gaza town of Netzarim, torn between two exalted ideals, has chosen both. The people will separate physically, but will continue to work together.

The conditions in Netzarim [pictured above] were arguably the most difficult in all of Jewish Gaza, as the town was an isolated Jewish enclave, accessible only by armored convoy at scheduled hours. Netzarim was surrounded by a hostile Arab population that often attacked it via terrorist infiltrations, Kassam rockets and mortar shells.

Having been thrown out of their homes, together with the rest of Gush Katif and northern Shomron almost two months ago, the people of Netzarim continue not to seek the easy path.

Itzik Vazana, a community spokesman, explained the town's current situation to Arutz-7:
"We are now residing in the [Shomron] city of Ariel, at the College of Judea and Samaria. Our children are studying in our own school, and in nurseries throughout the city. We live in the college students' caravans, but after the Sukkot holiday, the students will be returning. At that point, some of us will be going down to the Negev, to Moshav Yevul, which will be a temporary settlement point for up to two years. But a group of about 20 families has decided to remain in Ariel."

Vazana explained that the residents had a difficult ideological decision:
"We had to choose between two ideals: that of settlement in the Negev and building up a relatively barren area, or of settling in Ariel, the heart of Shomron [Samaria], together with the great social challenge that can be described as 'a face towards the Tel Aviv-Gush Dan area.' The group that will remain in Ariel will build a new neighborhood, from which it will seek to have an impact on the neighboring areas."

The two groups will continue to work together, Vazana said:
"Our dealings with the government - and there are many - will be under one umbrella, for instance. We will also hold events together.... Despite the 200 kilometers that will separate between us, our hearts will be united."

"The government has given high priority to launching our site in the Negev," Vazana added, "but things still take a long time... In addition, we have individual property claims and the like, which will be taken care of by lawyers and by each family."

Another resident, Shlomit Ziv, filled in the picture:
"I am a teacher in our school, which we transplanted in toto from Netzarim to Ariel; my family and I will be going, with the school, to the Negev for its next relocation..."

As if summing up the lack of certainty facing so many former Gush Katif residents all around the country, Shlomit said, "Our new community of Yevul will be adjacent to the new community started by people of Atzmonah in Yated, and we hope that their children will come to our school as well. Currently they travel 40 minutes each way to the Atzmonah school in Ir HaEmunah [Faith City, the encampment set up by expelled Atzmonah residents outside Netivot]."

Shlomit said that the future of the Ariel contingent of Netzarim is also not certain: "The new neighborhood they wish to build here is not yet finalized. It could be that the city will only offer them apartments scattered around the city. We hope it will work out."
