Does Your iPhone Hate Your Marriage? (By Frumma Rosenberg-Gottlieb)
Filling in Emotional Energy Leaks

Today more than ever, there are "emotional energy leaks" that vie for our attention and time that damage the special bond we are supposed to have with our mate. How can spouses make sure they are cherishing each other properly?

WATCH (37:06) >> http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3064509F9DC29DB5A6619A7DA635FD97&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2


The Road to Peace: Part 1
G-d's Roadmap

Code of Jewish Law, Laws of Shabbos, Chapter 329: If non-Jews besiege a Jewish border town – whether in the Holy Land or in the Diaspora – stating that they come only to pilfer straw, Jews are obligated to arm themselves for war, even on Shabbos, because such an intrusion opens up the entire Jewish land to attack.

WATCH (9:24) >> http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C66B1D63BD33EBD1DA811FC0ECCBD676&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2


American Idols - Self (By Manis Friedman)
The Worship of Self

Is taking care of yourself an inherent value? The difference between "self-improvement" and "improvement of self."

How to Get Rid of a Grudge (By Goldie Plotkin)
Women and Wisdom: Lesson 5

It says that G-d forgives those who forgive others. What does the Torah teach us about how to get rid of resentments and start forgiving those who have hurt us?

Crisis in Egypt (Dovid Taub & Jonathan Goorvich)
Shemot Parshah Report

The Parshah report gets a new look, jono tries to enslave gefilte fish and Itche's lawyer shows up. Hilarity... whatever, you know what's coming

Doing the Impossible (By Chana Weisberg)
A Taste of Text—Shemot

When confronted with a situation that seems hopeless, don't resign yourself to inactivity with the excuse that the little you can do can't possibly make a difference.

I Will Be What I Will Be (By Mendel Kaplan)
How to Study Torah - Shemot

When G-d charges Moses with the task of leading the Jews out of Egypt, Moses asks G-d what His name is and G-d responds, "I will be what I will be." How does this cryptic answer help us understand the problem of evil and suffering?

Why Do Jews Argue? (By Israel Sandman)
Jewish unity through the study of Jewish texts

When Jews study holy texts together, they do not always agree on their interpretation. A look at how arguing over the Torah can actually bring us closer together.

Moses, Maimonides and the Alter Rebbe (Aaron L. Raskin)
Letters and Numbers of Torah - Shemot

When G-d shows Moses a sign by having him turn a staff into a snake, G-d asks Moses, (Exodus 4:2) "What is this in your hand?" But the two words, "mah zeh" ("what is this") are spelled in the Torah as one word, "mizeh" ("from this.") How does the term "mizeh" hint to the Alter Rebbe and Maimonides whose yahrzeits are this week?

The Power of Positive Thought (By Moshe New)
Parshah Shemot

"Think good and it will be good" is not just a feel-good slogan. It means that by trusting in G-d, we actually elicit His help from on High. Find out what happened when Moses doubted if he was deserving of G-d's help. (Based on Likutei Sichos volume 36, Sicha 1.)

DAILY DOSE: Questioning the Divine

B"H


Questioning the Divine
======================

(To Elie Wiesel:)

Abraham, father of us all, questioned G-d's justice. So did Moses. So did Rabbi Akiva. So did many enlightened souls. You are not the first.

Of all those who questioned, there were two approaches: Those who meant it, and those who did not.

Those who wanted understanding gained understanding—a sense of nothingness encountering a reality far beyond our puny minds.

Those who asked but did not want to understand
gained nothing.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: The Stopping Points in the Public Torah Reading

B"H


Tevet 17, 5772 * January 12, 2012

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

The Stopping Points in the Public Torah Reading
The Division of the Aliyahs in the Weekly Parsha
By Baruch S. Davidson
================================================

Dear Rabbi,

I read your response about the history of the division of the Torah into chapters and Parsha portions [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=FB037F1E2CC92F22090069E4A278FF57&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]. As a regular attendee of Shabbat services, I know that the weekly Parsha [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=BF9B00BC324FADC935B9211C0A912C1A&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] is not read from the Torah scroll in one go, but is divided into seven portions, with seven different people called up to the Torah for an aliyah [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=EB8161BFA9E571458A41225CD8E0D223&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

I am wondering when the aliyah portions were divided and by whom?

Answer:

To be quite sure, we do find reference to the seven aliyah divisions in the Talmud; however, the Sages do not describe exact points where the portions are to be divided, but give several guidelines regarding the minimal length of an aliyah and where not to stop and start.[1]

Here's how Maimonides [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C4F9BE138DEB79C1FA284C9D31481330&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], in his code of Jewish law, sums up those guidelines:



[When] beginning a passage[2] from the Torah, [one should read] at least three verses, and one should not conclude less than three verses from the conclusion of a passage. Each reader should not read fewer than three verses.[3]

In the next chapter, he adds a general rule:



Whoever is called to read from the Torah should begin [his reading] with a positive matter and conclude with a positive matter.[4]

Other than these general instructions, it seems from some of the early commentaries (and from the very fact that the Talmud gave these guidelines) that the division of the aliyahs as we know them are not "set in stone," and the decision of where to stop is up to the individual reader.[5] In the words of the 13th century Spanish Talmudist, Rabbi Menachem Meiri, "The exact division is not known, rather the reader does as he pleases, provided that he begins and ends with good."[6]

Nevertheless, in order to uphold the Talmud's guidelines, and to simplify achieving them for the Torah reader who might not be fluent with the rules, an official division of the aliyahs was developed at one point. The earliest known official divisions were published in the 16th century, in an appendix to a volume called Tikkun Yissachar, by Rabbi Yissachar ben Mordechai ibn Susan, who presented two versions of aliyah divisions that he found in ancient manuscripts.

According to Ibn Susan, one of the manuscripts stated that the aliyah divisions in it were based on the practice of the sages in the Gaonic period (5th to 10th century). He writes further that it was suggested that the aliyah division in the second manuscript followed the instructions of Ezra the Scribe![7]

It has been suggested that there were recommended standard divisions in existence, such as in the manuscripts mentioned, but since they were not binding in Jewish law, and the custom may have varied from one community to another, the sages of the Talmud did not make any mention of them.

Interestingly, in a later publication on this topic, printed in 1722, one of the reasons given for such an official division of the aliyahs is to avoid the debating and bickering that might take place in the synagogue [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3032B8E0544769F460EE3EC610D90A2D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] when the congregation thinks that the reader ended in the wrong place![8]

Comparing these manuscripts of suggested divisions, as well as varying printed volumes of the Torah known as the "chumash," which we use to follow the readings in the synagogue today, one notices that differences between them are only slight and not very common.

There have been scholars in recent history who contested these divisions, most notably the Lithuanian scholar, Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B5FE16EF1E9C4C74B6108074468A694B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (1720-1797), known as the Gaon of Vilna [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B5FE16EF1E9C4C74B6108074468A694B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]. Nevertheless, as these divisions have become the established custom in our synagogues, it is incumbent upon us to maintain these customs [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=29A30049299D1F462573288967BB0ED4&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], in the spirit of the maxim in Jewish law, "minhag yisrael torah hu," "Jewish customs are themselves Torah."[9]

DAILY DOSE: Reinterpretation

B"H


Reinterpretation
================

There are no things. There are only words. The Divine Words of Creation.

The words become scattered and we no longer understand their meaning. Only then are they things. Words in exile.

If so, their redemption lies in the story we tell with them. Reorganizing stuff into meaning, redefining what is real, and living a life accordingly.

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

· First New York Synagogue (1728)

In 1684, a group of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who fled the Inquisition (see "Today in Jewish History" for Tevet 22 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B56F015742DDF7A12A2430745E012A96&amp;ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]) held a Rosh Hashanah service in New Amsterdam, thereby founding congregation Shearith Israel ("Remnant of Israel"). On this 17th of Tevet in 1728, the congregation purchased a lot in Lower Manhattan to erect the first synagogue in New York.

· Passing of Toldot Aaron (1754)

Rabbi Aaron Zelig ben Joel Feivush of Ostrog, Russia, author of Toldot Aaron, passed away on Tevet 17 of the year in 5515 from creation (1754).

· Passing of Maggid of Dubna (1841)

Tevet 17 is also the yahrtzeit of Rabbi Yaakov Wolf Krantz (1740-1804), the Maggid (itinerant preacher) of Dubna, particularly known for the parables (meshalim) he employed in his sermons and writings.

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

Seventy sages translated the Torah into Greek for King Ptolemy. That day was as difficult for the people of Israel as the day on which the [Golden] Calf was made; for the Torah could not be properly translated
