Sunday, Tishrei 11 5704

Torah lessons: Chumash: B'racha, First Parsha with Rashi.
Tehillim: 60-65.
Tanya: XXI. Upon enquiring (p. 513)...every day."
(p. 515).

At the conclusion of Yom Kippur 5556 (1795) in Lyozna, the Alter Rebbe delivered a public discourse (1) (his discourses were brief, as usual then) on the verse "Who is like the Eternal our G-d whenever we call upon Him," (2) on which the Sages comment - "...upon Him" and not upon His attributes:

Pardes Rimonim explains that "upon Him" (2) refers to the Orot ("radiances" or "illuminations") as they are invested in the "vessels" of the Ten Sefirot of Atzilut.

The Rebbe, the Baal Shem Tov, says that "upon Him" refers to the G-dhood invested in the "vessels" of the Ten Sefirot of Atzilut.

The simple meaning is: "upon Him" refers to the Essence of the En Sof (3) of which every ordinary Jew has inherent knowledge through his simple faith.

This is the meaning of "close to him" (4) to the person) and "whenever we call to Him (G-d)" (4) -

(These two expressions referring respectively to) the Essence of the En Sof and the essence of the soul.

Davening with simple faith joins the essence of the soul with the essence of the Infinite, so that the Essence of the En Sof will be the Healer of the ill, and He Who blesses the years.

Footnotes: 1. Then called "a Torah."
2. Tehillim 113:2.
3. The Ultimate Infinitude; G-d.
4. In both expressions the identical word is
used, Eilav, "to him."

Today is: Friday, Tishrei 11, 5766

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

• Start on sukkah

It is customary to begin working on -- or at least planning -- the construction of the sukkah immediately after Yom Kippur. Indeed, The Midrash (Vayikra Rabbah 30:7) describes the four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot as a time when the Jewish people are "preoccupied with mitzvot... this one is occupied with his sukkah [http://www.chabad.org/88580], this one is occupied with his lulav [http://www.chabad.org/3106]..."

• "G-d's Name"

According to an old Chassidic tradition -- mentioned in the writings of the Baal Shem Tov -- the day after Yom Kippur is referred to as "G-d's Name." (The Baal Shem Tov explains that each of the various divine names describes G-d's involvement in a specific "world" or realm of reality, but the designation "G-d's Name" -- without reference to any particular name -- connotes a divine effluence that transcends all realms and particulars. On Yom Kippur, we access and reveal the very essence of our soul [http://www.chabad.org/87990], which is one with the very essence of G-d; thus the day after Yom Kippur carries the designation "G-d's Name.")

PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL: Week of October 9-15, 2005 (Haazinu)

B"H

Tishrei 10, 5766 * October 13, 2005

=================================================
T H E P A R S H A H I N A N U T S H E L L
=================================================

TORAH PORTION: Haazinu (Deuteronomy 32:1-52)

Torah Reading for Week of October 9-15, 2005

On the Web: http://www.chabad.org/Article.asp?AID=3109

- * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * -

The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu ("Listen In") consists of a 70-line "song" delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life.

Calling heaven and earth as witnesses, Moses exhorts the people to "Remember the days of old / Consider the years of many generations / Ask your father, and he will recount it to you / Your elders, and they will tell you" how G-d "found them in a desert land", made them a people, chose them as His own, and bequeathed them a bountiful land. The Song also warns against the pitfalls of plenty: "Yeshurun grew fat, and kicked / You have grown fat, thick, and waddled/ He forsook G-d who made him / And spurned the Rock of his salvation" -- and the terrible calamities that would result, which Moses describes as G-d "hiding His face". Yet in the end, he promises, G-d will be avenge the blood of His servants and be reconciled with his people and land.

The Parshah concludes with G-d's instruction to Moses to ascend the summit of Mount Nebo, from which he beheld the Promised Land before dying on the mountain. "For you shall see the land opposite you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the children of Israel.

* * *

FROM THE WORDS OF OUR SAGES ON THE PARSHAH:

--For G-d's portion is His people; Jacob is the rope of His inheritance (32:9)

The relationship between a Jew and G-d is like a rope: the more the Jew pulls away, the more taut the bond grows; finally, the mounting pressure causes him to rebound with an even greater force of attraction than before.

(The Chassidic Masters)
