Synopsis: This evening (9/19/24), in lieu of our regularly scheduled Pirkei Avos Shiur for women, we took up a question on the parashah that I'm trying to write about for this week's article. This is a good example of how, if you keep asking questions even when you think you've reached the end of the line, you'll sometimes break through to a new vista with new discoveries waiting to be made. I set out to give a shiur on the parashah which includes some methodology for understanding mitzvos, but we ended with an enhanced appreciation of this particular mitzvah and its place in the system.

Ralbag's Lessons from Megilas Esther: Part 4 (#36-40) 1:23:17

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text! Length: 1 hour 23 minutes Synopsis: Tonight (3/6/25), in lieu of our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we continued learning the Ralbag's toalos ("beneficial lessons") on Megilas Esther, picking up were we left off last year, at the beginning of Chapter 6. Unlike last year, in which we JUST read the Ralbag, we decided to read and discuss the pesukim this year before learning the toeles. This resulted in a slower pace, but (I hope!) a richer learning experience. We only got through five toalos, but we delved into them deeper than we did last year, and came away with some really sharp insights into the Megilah and some nice practical applications. ----- מקורות: Neima Novetsky's translation of Megillas Esther on AlHaTorah.org רלב"ג - אסתר פרק ו, תועלות ל"ה-מ רד"ק - תהלים קטז:יד רש"י - אסתר ו:ט Erica Brown, "Esther: Power, Fate, and Fragility in Exile" ----- The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in tribute to the Bibas family.

Emulating a Vengeful God: ve'Halachta bi'Drachav and E-l Nekamos 1:52:42

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text! Length: 1 hour 52 minutes Synopsis: Thoughts of vengeance have been on the minds of Jews worldwide since October 7th. In less than two weeks, we’ll celebrate Purim — a holiday in which vengeance is a dominant theme. We are commanded to emulate Hashem’s ways, and He is explicitly described as "vengeful" throughout Tanach. Are we meant to emulate Him in this regard? How does this align with the Torah’s halachic and ethical stance on revenge? How does it fit into the Torah's broader philosophy of ethics? In this morning's YBT Sunday shiur (3/2/25), we explore an approach developed by Ibn Kaspi, rooted in the statements of Chazal and the writings of the Rambam. We may not find answers to all these questions, but my hope is that this provides food for thought and reflection. ----- מקורות: רמב"ם - ספר המצוות: עשה ח'; לא תעשה ש"ג-ש"ד רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר במדע, הלכות דעות א:ה-ו; ב:ו; ז:ז-ח ויקרא יט:יח הואיל משה - תהלים צד:א נחום א:ב אסתר ח:יג אבן כספי - שמות יז:טז; דברים כה:יז; בראשית מב:ט; ויקרא יט:יח רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה ז:יג רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים הלכות סנהדרין והעונשין המסורין להן יח:א יד פשוטה - הלכות דעות ז:ז ר' אברהם בן הרמב"ם - מעשה נסים, מסילה יג עמוד 105 יומא כב:-כג. מהרש"א - חידושי אגדות שם ענף יוסף שם תורה תמימה - ויקרא יט:יח, הערה 120 רמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:נד (Goodman) Goldmintz – The Rav on Tefillah: An Anthology of Teachings by Rabbi Joseph B.

We began by asking all the questions we could on this three-word pasuk, and by the end of the shiur, we answered all but one. The shiur itself focused on a highly disturbing minority view (expressed by only 3.5 meforshim) about what the Torah wants us to do to witches. For the shorter version of this, check out my article.

Avos 4:11 - Angelic Advocates and Accusers (Reexamined) 1:35:33

1:35:33

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text! Length: 1 hour 35 minutes Synopsis: Tonight (1/2/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up an intriguing mishnah about the effects of mitzvos and aveiros. We ended up with two solid interpretations - one that emerged during the shiur, and another based on an article I wrote back in 2012 - as well as a fundamental discourse on reward and punishment according to Rabbeinu Bachya, which we (sadly) didn't have time to fully tie back into our understanding of the mishnah. Definitely a worthwhile learning session, even if we didn't bring it to an elegant close! ----- מקורות: אבות ד:יא רש"י רמב"ם רבינו יונה רבינו בחיי - אבות ד:יא;ב; א:ג Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, "Angelic Advocates and Accusers" https://kolhaseridim.blogspot.com/2015/07/angelic-advocates-and-accusers.html ----- This week's Torah content has been sponsored l'zecher nishmas Yosef Yoshayahu ben Yechezkel Eliezer, whose yahrzeit is on the 3rd of Teves.
