Today is: Sunday, Tevet 6, 5772

===========
Daily Quote
===========

The Hebrew word for ark, teivah, also means “word.” When Gâ€'d says (to Noah), “Come into the ark,” He is also saying: Enter into the words of prayer and Torah study; there you will find a sanctuary of wisdom, meaning and holiness amidst the raging floodwaters of life.

- Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov

=======================
Today in Jewish History
=======================

· Sefarim victory (1987)

Tevet 5 is celebrated as a day of rejoicing in the Chabad-Lubavitch community. On this date in 1987, U.S. Federal Court issued a decision in favor of Agudas Chassidei Chabad ("Union of Chabad Chassidim") regarding the ownership of the priceless library of the 6th Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. The ruling was based on the idea that a Rebbe is not a private individual but a communal figure synonymous with the body of Chassidim. The Lubavitcher Rebbe (Rabbi Yoseph Yitzchak's son-in-law and successor) urged that the occasion be marked with time devoted to study from Torah books ("sefarim") as well as the acquisition of new Torah books.

DAILY DOSE: The Human Untied

B"H


The Human Untied
================

No one can predict the tomorrow of a human being. We move from abject poverty to opulent wealth on the spur of a moment, from hedonism to spiritual heights in a sudden flash. We are creatures who know no bounds, with limitless power to be whatever we want.

We get stuck -- but not from a shortage of power. It is from our failure to recognize the knots with which we have tied ourselves.


A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman
Tevet 4, 5772 * December 30, 2011

Re: Urgent: Please help us continue

By the Grace of G-d

Dear Friend of Chabad.org,

As we count down the hours to the end of the 2011 tax year, we turn to you as a friend and beneficiary of Chabad.org:

Please help us keep our virtual doors wide open to all!

Your year-end tax deductible donation to Chabad.org may be the deciding factor in the life of a struggling teenager, a down-on-his luck business owner, an educated professional exploring her Jewish roots, a forlorn Jew somewhere on the globe - or any one else of the countless people around the globe who consider Chabad.org their home!

http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=DE443BDFF175122E88DFD0B49C797B96&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2

For a little snapshot of Chabad.org's reach, check out this little report about our Chanukah viewership:
http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=AEBBC16F171D9B44372AC5C438008787&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2

Proud as we are of our team's achievements, the Rebbe, of righteous memory, taught that no one can rest until every Jewish child (in both the literal and figurative senses) receives a Jewish education.

We must continue to share and innovate until every last Jew has the opportunity to learn about his or her heritage!

To do so successfully, however, we really need your partnership.

In fulfilling their labor of love, our editors and programmers do their work for minimal compensation. We really need to appeal to you for your tax year-end partnership as well.

Please help us serve all who seek our help!

Please partner with us to nurture the souls of all who are hungry for meaning and inspiration!

http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=DE443BDFF175122E88DFD0B49C797B96&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2

G-d assures us each repeatedly in His Holy Torah that He will repay us many times over for the charity we give. And His currency is far more sustaining than money alone.

You can make a final year-end tax deductible contribution securely online via:

- Credit card or Paypal
http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=DE443BDFF175122E88DFD0B49C797B96&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2

P.P.S. - If you've already contributed this year, we thank you immensely and ask you to consider this email simply as your way of learning what else we're doing to ensure the financial stability of the Jewish People's #1 educational tool, especially as it sometimes takes multiple emails nowadays before people actually open and take notice.

General Overview:

In this week's Torah treading, Vayigash, Judah responds to Joseph's demand that Benjamin remain enslaved in Egypt, pleading to be taken as a substitute. Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers. At Joseph's request, Jacob and his family come down to Egypt.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURES:

Judah's Chutzpah (By Rochel Holzkenner)

My voice of insecurity whispered: perhaps if we were lower key he'd be less hostile? Is our Jewish pride fueling his anti-Semitism? On the other hand, why should I compromise my identity as a Jew to appease his racist rage?

THE PARSHAH


Vayigash
Genesis 44:18–47:27

Joseph finally reveals his identity; his brothers are remorseful, his father overjoyed, and all come to live in the fertile ghetto of Goshen, Egypt. Happy ending or tragic beginning?

Confessions of an Outreach Worker (By Mendel Kalmenson)

I confess. There were times I wanted to make a bonfire on Shabbat. And play my guitar on a Jewish holiday. And to do away with the divider that separates men and women in the synagogue...

Can Love Overcome Resentment? (By Yisroel Susskind)
A Lesson from Vayigash

Judah was essentially saying, "It makes no difference whether I think that my father was unfair. I have reached deep within myself and know that the most important truth is that I love my father and I cannot allow him such pain..."

Jewish Settlements (By Mendel Kaplan)
How to Study Torah - Vayigash

Pharaoh designates the district of Goshen for the family of Joseph. There the Jewish people build settlements which ultimately enrage the locals who then use this as a pretext to prosecute the Jewish people.

When Compassion Is Misplaced (By Chana Weisberg)

Reproductive Power (Aaron L. Raskin)
Letters and Numbers of Torah - Vayigash

In the verse (Genesis 47:23) Joseph tells the Egptians: "Here is seed for you so you can plant the ground," the word for "here" is the same word as the name of the Hebrew letter "hei." What does the letter "hei" teach us about human reproduction?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Was Abraham’s Servant Performing Divination?

B"H


Tevet 3, 5772 * December 29, 2011

========================================
Q U E S T I O N O F T H E W E E K
========================================

Was Abraham's Servant Performing Divination?
By Dovid Zaklikowski
=============================================

Dear Rabbi,

The story is told in Genesis [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=1EC4CC51364A6522785D17028CCB2DAF&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] of Abraham's faithful servant Eliezer's search for a wife for Isaac [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C453F5EA92FBF132FE6546D5B79BA9FD&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]. We read his prayer on approaching the city where he is to find her (24:13-14):



Behold, I am standing by the water fountain, and the daughters of the people of the city are coming out to draw water. And it will be, [that] the maiden to whom I will say, "Lower your pitcher and I will drink," and she will say, "Drink, and I will also water your camels," her have you designated for your servant, for Isaac…

And that is indeed what happened (17-19):



And the servant ran toward her, and he said, "Please let me sip a little water from your pitcher"…and she said, "I will also draw for your camels…"

To me this seems like divination, where a person makes conditions with G‑d, saying that if there is a certain omen, he or she will take a certain action. Isn't divination prohibited [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=1E1C0C844E565478CD5641335034EEAA&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] according to Jewish law [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=04E16458529602D8D6914D2CFA27C24F&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]?

Answer:

That is a great question, and you are not the first to ask it! Great Jewish scholars discuss this very issue.

Let us begin by looking at the source for the prohibition of divination, in Leviticus [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=06A4E32D8531CC7DC34237F15400041B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (19:26): "You shall not act on the basis of omens or lucky hours." This Divine commandment was given at Mount Sinai [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=20F62398D3C5A1800BB5B18A2A5E104A&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] many years following the story of Eliezer. While the Sages do state that our forefathers observed all of Judaism [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=D032EE71F60F916E4BC77FB5ED71A0B8&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] even before the giving of the Torah, Eliezer most definitely is not included among them.[1]

Even if Eliezer was "allowed" to use divination, we are still left with an interesting question: Did Isaac's marriage come about based on divination; or maybe this was not considered divination at all?

The Talmud learns from the story of Eliezer that there is a specific requirement that makes relying on an omen the kind of divination that is Biblically prohibited:



Rav said, "Any actions performed through divination, only if they are like Eliezer, the servant of Abraham or Jonathan the son Saul,"[2] [where one's actions totally rely upon the foretelling, is it considered divination].[3]

The Talmud learns from the story of Eliezer that when it comes to superstition, the only time it would be considered divination is if the action is made totally conditional on the omen.

It would seem from here that our Sages did consider Eliezer to have practiced divination.

Rabbi Nissim Gerona (1290(?)-1376), known as the Ran, explains that in fact the cases in the Talmud are not divination.

Divination, explains the Ran, is only when there is no intellectual reasoning involved, for example, if one says, "The bread fell out of my mouth, therefore, I will not go to this and this place today." However, when there is a reason behind the omen, it is not considered divination. He further explains that in the story of Eliezer,[4] there was clear, logical reasoning. He was looking for a wife for Isaac who was caring and good-hearted. These traits would be present in a girl who would offer him and his camels water. And that is exactly what Rebecca [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=69C60AA9ACC7D6F26EA41D20097F2D99&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] did, thus showing her to be a fitting wife for Isaac.[5]

Let us now examine the other proof in the Talmud, the story of Jonathan from Samuel I.

The story goes that Jonathan wanted to attack the Philistine [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=CE37BBD088086F28BC175EDAADAC796F&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] army; however, he was greatly outnumbered. He said: Let's approach the enemy; if they say "Stop until we reach you," we will not attack. However, if they say, "Come to us," we will attack. The Philistines said. "Come up to us," and Jonathan attacked them and won the battle.[6]

Rabbi David Kimchi [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3E6B30EC187E7824F55C49AD38BB24D7&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (1160-1235), known as the Radak [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3E6B30EC187E7824F55C49AD38BB24D7&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], explains that this could not be divination, or how else would we explain that G‑d was on their side. Rather, he explains that divination is when belief is placed in something besides G‑d. When someone believes that there is some spirit, other than G‑d, that caused the bread to fall out of his or her mouth, and therefore will not go to work today, that is a problem. However, it is okay to pray to G‑d and ask for a sign.[7]

The same explanation would apply to the story of Eliezer, Abraham's servant, as he placed his faith in G-d to guide him in finding the right spouse.

According to the interpretations of the Ran and the Radak, the Talmud was not saying that these stories are divination, rather it was using them to illustrate total reliance on an omen, which is one of the conditions of divination.

To conclude, in a gloss on the Code of Jewish Law, Rabbi Moses Isserles [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=F3AF1194D0965488BD809BFDC6B33300&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (1520 -1572), known as the Rama [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=F3AF1194D0965488BD809BFDC6B33300&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], writes that there are those who say that one is allowed to make a sign for the future and those who say that one should not, "And those who place their trust and complete heart in G‑d will be surrounded by kindness."[8]

See Isaac's Marriage [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C453F5EA92FBF132FE6546D5B79BA9FD&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and War with the Philistines [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=CE37BBD088086F28BC175EDAADAC796F&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] from the Jewish History [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C71FF8609B5DBC021241FED173011264&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] section.

MITZVAH MINUTE: Fast Days

B"H


Tevet 3, 5772 * December 29, 2011

==============
MITZVAH MINUTE
==============

Fast Days
Days of Opportunity

===================

The Jewish calendar contains several fast days, most of them commemorating various landmark events that revolve around the destruction of the Holy Temples. They are:

3 Tishrei—the Fast of Gedaliah [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=7A4304C43AA4E1B09C8593ADCD7920E6&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

10 Tishrei—Yom Kippur [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=E14633C4E5FBD72B22DD648115BD5444&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

10 Tevet—Asarah B'Tevet [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=E4D63D786CDC17A1396B2DB054545EFB&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

13 Adar—the Fast of Esther [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=9F69473F4A9C3F53140C80533621F813&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

17 Tammuz—Shivah Asar B'Tammuz [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=6E5122D82FE4FB277512CADECD5243B6&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

9 Av—Tisha B'Av [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=F5B182F7D39C888E45FCF122A7528F6D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]

The following rules apply to all fast days aside from Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, which have their own rules (see our Yom Kippur [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B605BC297EAFDD958E66FFAAA3AEDAF9&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and Tisha B'Av [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=2D4521D845583AE20B755E3AE16A5C97&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] guides).

Fasting is pretty simple. If you are a healthy man or woman over the age of bar or bat mitzvah, just abstain from food and drink from dawn until dark. Click here [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=EAF4BF5B3DB1C7F5DB4BEA64B0B345EC&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] to find out when the fast starts and ends at your location.

A few technical details:

* If you are pregnant or nursing and are in pain or feel weak, do not fast on this day. If you're ill, consult with a rabbi. But even if you are exempt from fasting, skip the delicacies and sweets for a day.
* You can wake up early before the fast begins and grab a bite—as long as you had this in mind before you went to sleep.
* Try to make it to your synagogue for the day's prayer services. We add some special fast-day prayers, and read from the Torah, during both the morning and afternoon prayers. There's also a special fast-day haftorah following the afternoon Torah reading.
* If the fast day falls on Shabbat, it is postponed until Sunday (or in the case of the Fast of Esther, moved up to Thursday).

Why are we fasting? It's not our fault that the Temple was destroyed. The people at that time refused to listen to the prophets who warned them to better their ways. We are still suffering the consequences.

On this, the sages explain: "Every generation for which the Temple is not rebuilt, is as though the Temple was destroyed for that generation." If so, a fast day is not really a sad day, but an opportune day. It's a day when we are empowered to fix the cause of that first destruction, so that our long exile will be ended and we will find ourselves living in messianic times—may that be very soon.
