ADDING CONVERTS
IN EXILE
The Alm-ghty only exiled the Jewish people
among the Gentile nations in order to add
to them converts. Coverts alludes to and
signifies the sparks of holiness present in all
aspects of the world. * This approach of taking

AN ACT OF TZDAKA
BY DISPERSING US
AMONG THE NATIONS
2. The answer emerges from a
discussion of the reason underlying
the Jewish peoples long history of
journeying in exile from place to
place:
Superficially, the dispersal of
the Jewish people throughout the
various countries of the world
(alienated and dispersed among
the nations) is a descent and the
greater the dispersal, the greater the
descent. Nevertheless, our Sages say
(Psachim 87b), The Alm-ghty did
an act of tzdaka (righteousness,
charity) by dispersing them among
the Gentile nations. The wellknown (inner) interpretation of this
Talmudic adage sheds light on the
matter: Settling in foreign lands and
adopting their customs (in a way
that is permitted by Jewish law; for
example, by speaking the national
language when handling mundane

Dvar Malchus
Alm-ghty did an act of tzdaka
by dispersing them among the
Gentile nations, for in this way
they achieve through their avoda
the virtue of refining the sparks of
holiness present in (the customs
of) each nation and in each place.
This then comprises the
benefit in the dispersal of Jews
throughout and their residing
in a great variety of countries
across the globe, described in
the verse (where G-d blesses
Yaakov), You shall burst forth
to the west, east, north and
south: Specifically through
the inner avoda of Jews in all
countries of the world (in each
place according to its character),
through their residing and living
in the land and conducting
themselves, in activities permitted
by Jewish law, according to
the national customs, a Jew
(taking personal initiative) can
accomplish the refinement and
purification of each and every
place according to its quality.
In this manner, each location
becomes a dwelling place for
G-d in the lower realms
lower realms in the plural
each in accordance with its (place
and its) nature. The impact of
refugees, however, unsettled
people, on the place is not the
same nor is the effect of those
who extend influencing on a place
from a distance in comparison
with the impact of those who live
there in an established and settled
SUCCESS BY FOLLOWING
THE LOCAL CUSTOMS
Moreover, this approach of
taking a foothold in the place
of our dispersal brings about
fortitude and success in our
avoda, as is plainly understood,
as follows. The reason for the
difference of custom (according
to Torah) between one country
and another is on account of the
special character of the country
(the geographical quality, as well
as the character of the people,
and the like). Thus, when we
conduct ourselves according to
the national custom, which is
in line with the character of the
particular place, it is met with
success. A Jew who lives in that

PARSHA THOUGHT
KEEP THE
CHANUKAH
LIGHTS IN YOUR
LINE OF SIGHT
By Rabbi Heschel Greenberg
YOSEPH MISUNDERSTOOD
To better understand Yosephs
uniqueness we must preface our
thoughts with the analysis offered
by Chassidus:
The Patriarchs, Avraham,
Yitzchak and Yaakov, as well as
Yaakovs sons, were shepherds.
That allowed them to remain
divorced from the corrupt
and degenerate urban areas of
society. By becoming shepherds,
they had the freedom to engage
in deep spiritual meditation.
Indeed, it was Avraham, Yitzchak
and Yaakov who instituted the
three daily prayers of Shacharis,
Mincha and Maariv. These were
not perfunctory prayers but
profound meditative experiences
that connected them to G-d and
divorced them from spiritual
snakes and scorpions.
Yoseph was different; and it
would seem not in such a good
way. He was not a shepherd.
In fact, he appeared to be a
lightweight contender for the
legacy of the Patriarchs. Yoseph
engaged in what most observers
would think was immature
behavior; focusing on his looks
and clothes. In later years,
upon reaching greater maturity,
he transitioned into a worldly

PARSHA THOUGHT
LIVED SEAMLESSLY IN
BOTH WORLDS
As we know, their fears
were
unfounded.
Yoseph
possessed a singular talent
for constancy. He was not
affected by his environment. In
Chassidic literature, Yoseph was
simultaneously a resident of two
worlds. On the one hand, his
soul was from and reflected the
highest spiritual world of Atzilus,
the world of G-dly emanation.
It is a realm where G-ds light
shines brightly and where even

through
our
righteous Moshiach. According
to the Talmud, Moshiachs name
is Menachem, which shares
Tanchums root; they both relate
to the notion of consolation.
In light of our preceding
analysis
of
the
brothers
misunderstanding of Yosephwe
can discover a connection
between these two statements:
The Chanukah lights emerged
out of the attempt by the SyrianGreeks to contaminate the soul
of the Jewish people. It has
been suggested that the reason
we place the Menorah at the
entrances of our homes is to
commemorate how the enemy
removed the doors of the homes
of the Jewish people so that they
could not hide their observance
of Judaism.
In other words, the SyrianGreeks did everything in their
power to ensure the infiltration
of malign outside influences into
every Jewish home and heart.
There were to be no barriers
to block the snakes and
scorpions from entering.
The Chanukah lights that
we place at our entrances
or our windows cannot be
contaminated, just like the lone

MIRACLE 5755
The third night of Chanuka. Plans to go on
mivtzaim to the Shchem area. After the incident
the night before in which we were stoned, I
decided I had had enough of adventures. But
I changed my mind on a dime and decided to
join them. A decision I would have occasion to
regret. * Four young bachurim and a shliach,
surrounded by dozens of inflamed Arabs with no
natural way to get out.

GOING TO SHCHEM
Wednesday,
the
third
Chanuka light. We were getting
ready to go to the Shchem
area. After the incident the night
before, when we were stoned,
I decided I had had enough of
adventures and I would stay in
Kfar Yona.
After all, I consoled myself,
bachurim were needed in Kfar
Yona too. Furthermore, R
Schmerling did not find a soldier
to escort our group, so I was
determined not to go to Shchem.
Their leaving was delayed by
about half an hour and during
this time I changed my mind and
decided to join them. This was a
decision I would come to regret
ten times over. I took another
Chitas with me for protection
and a volume of Igros Kodesh.
We loaded the van with
dozens of trays of doughnuts,
menorahs, and other menorahlighting
paraphernalia.
We
crowded into the front of the
vehicle with many bottles of
mashke that were scattered on
the floor due to lack of space.
The vehicle did not belong to R
Schmerling; it was loaned to him
by Tzach for Chanuka outreach.
The first camp we went to
was Camp Dotan, a camp that,
sad to say, belongs to terrorists
now after it was given to them as
part of the evacuation of Gush
Katif and northern Shomron
in 5765. We worked primarily
with soldiers from the religious
NaChaL unit.

R Yosef Zev Reinitz, on the left, giving out doughnuts and lchaim to IDF soldiers
enthusiastically dragged me to a
corner of the kitchen where there
was a big picture of this soldier
receiving a dollar from the Rebbe.
Next to it was another picture of
the soldier with R Moshe Edery
of Kfar Chabad. He excitedly
related that he had learned in
the vocational school in Kfar
Chabad and asked that we give
his warm regards to R Moshe.
It was moving to see how much
the Rebbe meant to him and how,
while in an army camp, he hung
up a large picture of the Rebbe.
The second memory has to do
with the commander of the camp,
an officer of the rank of Colonel.
As soon as we entered his office
he said, You should know
that my door is always open to
Chabad Chassidim. I will help
you wherever I am. Last Pesach I
was on vacation in Thailand and
I felt your devotion to every Jew
with real mesirus nefesh. This is
only a small way that I can repay
you.
We continued to farbreng
with him about Chanuka and the
Rebbe, the Yehuda HaMaccabi of
our generation. At the end of the
meeting he asked where we were
FATEFUL TURN
As we got closer to Shchem
the tension increased. Our vehicle
was plastered with Chanuka signs
and had a big menorah on the
roof which gave away the Jewish
identity of the passengers, and it
was with this that we planned on
traveling through the murderous
stronghold of our enemies.
During the trip, R Schmerling
took his hands off the wheel
momentarily and loaded his
gun. He put the loaded gun on
his knees and continued driving.

The
highway
in
the
underdeveloped city of Tubas
passed between private yards, so
that at any moment they could
have surprised us from the roof
of one of the houses, but we
drove through peacefully.
We continued to Nachal
Tirtza and there at Farah, we
took the road towards the
military detention compound.
We considered stopping but in
the end we decided that since at
the compound, those serving are
reserve soldiers who get to return
home on Chanuka, we would
first visit the full duty soldiers
who would not experience the
warmth of the holiday if we did
not visit them.
We arrived at Hamam ElMaliach and visited the soldiers
and brought them the joy of the
holiday. Then we went to the
reservists.
EXPOSED TO TERROR
The sun was setting. I went
up on the roof of the vehicle
and turned on the fourth light of
the menorah. We had to hurry.
We had a few more events that
night; a big event planned at
Base 21 near Kfar Yona, a central
menorah lighting and rally at the
mall, and a chanukas habayis
ceremony for the new shul built
at the yishuv.
R Schmerling drove faster
and we passed through Farah
and hurried toward Shchem.
I had no mental energy for the
tension I would experience if I sat
near the window looking out for
shooting or rocks, so I lay down
on the floor among the bottles of
mashke.
I lay there for fifteen minutes.
When I got up, I noticed that
the road was wet and slippery
and it was drizzling. We passed
Tubas and were driving on the

At this point, the miracles
began. I am still amazed, years
later, by how openly we saw the

but

and
compassionate hand held the car
close to the asphalt.
Inexplicably, with a locked
wheel, the vehicle followed the

SAVED BY A MIRACLE
There was no reason to wait
for anyone to come and rescue us
since no Jew passed by that way.
To carjack a vehicle and escape
was also not an option with so
many parked cars on the side of
the highway blocking all possible
exits. Thoughts and images went
through our minds of how in a
few minutes we would lose our
lives. Until someone heard we
were stuck here, hours could go
by and the people surrounding
us did not look like the type of
people who would call for help
for Jews.

Junction and from there we
hitchhiked toward Kfar Yona.
Tzach heard about the accident
from the army and they sent
another group of bachurim to
Base 21 so we just had to attend
the chanukas habayis ceremony
at the shul.
EVEN GENTILES
UNDERSTAND
MIRACULOUS RESCUE
Soldiers here? In the middle
of this highway? How did they
know to come? I screamed at
R Schmerling, Soldiers are
coming! I couldnt understand
it. Someone had heard about our
accident?
The transport stopped and
the soldiers inside were amazed
to see us. What are you doing
here? they asked. We told them
our story in brief. It turned
out that once a week there is a
shift change of soldiers at the
military detention compound
in Farah, and this is one of the
only times that the army uses this
road. By miraculous providence
and Hashems kindness, that
personnel change took place
precisely when we were stuck
there.
We had not finished thanking
Hashem for the big miracle that
happened for us, when another
transport coming downhill from
Tubas pulled up with only a few
soldiers and an officer. It was
simply an open miracle clothed in
nature.
We told the officer the story
and he couldnt believe it. He told
us what we already knew, that the
first cars stopping was probably
done by terrorists. Its one of the
ways that they attack Jews, to lay
a trap for them on dangerous
stretches of road, especially when
it was raining. He also told us
that many Jews had been attacked
in this way.
R Schmerling wasted no
time and asked that we board
the empty transport with the
soldiers and go in the direction of
Morasha Junction and from there
wed go to Kfar Yona. Ill stay
here with the soldiers to guard
the vehicle.
We got our stuff together and
got into the soldiers vehicle. The
road was dark and you couldnt
see anything but we finally felt

HALACHA 2 GO
THE BUSINESS
OF MARRIAGE
Selected Halachos from the
One Minute Halacha project
By HaRav Yosef Yeshaya Braun, Shlita
Mara Dasra and member of the Badatz of Crown Heights
IS A CHILD TO BE
TRUSTED TO CHECK
VEGETABLES FOR
INSECTS?
Eid echad neeman bissurin
(one witness is believed with
regard to prohibited substances);
a single adult is trusted when it
comes to the status of toiveled
(ritually immersed) dishes, kosher
food or checking produce for
bugs, and eggs for bloodspots.
May a child perform these tasks
without supervision and declare
them kosher?
When it comes to taking a
childs word, halacha states that
kol shebeyado neeman (anything
that is within his ability to perform
he can be depended upon). But
there is a caveat: something that is
ischazek issura (already established
as an assumed prohibition)
cannot be kosherized by a
childs assertion. Therefore, a
dish cannot be removed from its
pre-toiveled and prohibited state
by the testimony of a child. Even
this exception, however, is limited,
according to many poskim, to
those things that are an issur
dOraisa (a Biblical prohibition).
THE BUSINESS
OF MARRIAGE:
A TRADITIONAL
APPROACH
Every successful partnership
has
clear
guidelines;
the
responsibilities of each partner
are clearly defined. The same
holds true for the partnership of
marriage, including each spouses
monetary obligations. Torah and
Chazal have laid the groundwork
for a working kosher marriage
and the obligations the husband
and wife have toward each other.
It
is
the
husbands
responsibility,
according
to
halacha, to provide for his wifes
needs, and any supplemental
income the wife earns belongs
to her husband. There is the

Permission was granted to write
Torah scrolls in Greek as well.
That Greek language has, however,
been forgotten from the world. It
has been confused and has sunk

all three sacred articles may be
written using Assyrian script
alone. (Rambam Hilchos Tfillin,

also are permitted to be written

Gamliel. Reb Yochanan further
said: What is the reason of Reb
Shimon b. Gamliel? Scripture
says, God enlarge Yefes, and he
shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
[this means] that the words of
Yefes shall be in the tents of Shem.
But why not say [the words of]
Gomer and Magog? Reb Chiya
ben Abba replied: The real reason
is because it is written, Let God
enlarge [yaft] Yefes: implying, let
the chief beauty [yafyus] of Yefes
be in the tents of Shem. (Megilla

feeling at the beginning did not
last, but my wife, who saw how
good this was for me, would not
relent and pushed me to go to the
kollel.
Boruch Hashem, I finished
a tractate of Gemara and some
maamarei
Chassidus.
The
entire house is different. It also
influenced
the
Chassidishe
atmosphere at home. My children
have a father who learns Torah.
They are growing up in this
atmosphere. They know that
their father goes out every night
to learn Torah and I am proud
and happy about this.
POSITIVE PHENOMENON
In yeshiva, I wasnt one
of the big learners. When I got
married, I was in the army and
right after I was released I started
working. My life consisted of
work, home and family. I would
go to shul on Shabbos and
sometimes for Mincha Maariv in
the summer.
At first we lived the life of a
young couple. Then the children
started coming and life became
more demanding. The routine
of work, home, and family wore
away at me. I suddenly felt an
emptiness. I felt as though I was
working and exerting myself
for nothing. It all became a
burden to me. I had no desire for
anything. Even taking care of my
three sweet children whom I love
dearly and whom I loved caring
for, suddenly seemed to me like a
burden too hard to bear. I felt no
joy in life whatsoever.
Naturally, this did not make
a good impact on the home,
not on chinuch and not on our
relationship. My wife did not
understand what happened to
me. At first we thought that we
needed to focus on ourselves. We
started going out in the evenings,
we went away for Shabbos, on

about the blessed impact the
shiur has. Learning Chassidus
changes a person, especially
when you learn with someone
who has such broad knowledge
of Chassidus and the ability to
explain. With every shiur, you
take something home with you.
As an educator, R Frankel
speaks about the impact Torah
study makes on a home and
on the chinuch of children.
When a child sees that his
father gets up early and goes to
a Chassidus shiur, it impacts his
entire chinuch. The child is not
taught with words, but by action.
He looks around him and is
influenced by what he sees. And
when this is what he sees, then
his entire chinuch is different.
Even more so when his father
returns from the shiur and has
something to repeat from it, a
thought, a Chassidishe vort, or
even a story, and he shares it with
his wife and family, then there is
no estimating the power of this
positive influence.
In recent years, Kfar Chabad
has also become an empire of
Torah study. It started with the
night kollel run by R Menachem
Vaheva at the initiative of
R Zalman Scheinberger, in
Mendels shul, and has been
copied at other shuls. Today,
there are a number of Torah
learning projects for balabatim
such as Ta Shema, which
was initiated by the Mara
DAsra, Rabbi Meir Ashkenazi,
the Chassidus kollel of Rabbi
Alperowitz, and others.
R Zalman Scheinberger,
who is known to all because of
his pizza store in the center of
the kfar, says jokingly, People

pizza in the country. You come to
buy three slices and it costs you

to assist the thousands of Chabad Chassidim who escaped Russia with Polish passports and were stranded in European DP
Camps. The Frierdiker Rebbe, with the help
of his son-in-law the Rashag, and later with

worked tirelessly to assist the refugees in
resettling them in a new country, providing
for them with means to support their families, and ensuring all their religious needs
are met.

he was imprisoned for ten years,
the second time for five years,
and the third time for six years.
Altogether, he spent twenty-one
years in prison, labor camps and
various exiles, from 5695 until
5716. Then he was released.
It is hard to describe what he
went through in the labor camps.
He suffered tremendously but
his spirit was strong. With the
power of his faith and his great
stubbornness, he managed to
survive.
In one of his imprisonments,
after the interrogations and trial,
he was sent to a labor camp near
the North Pole, to a place called
novy lazima, meaning new
land. People hadnt been there
before, and aside from birds,
there was nothing.
There were times his life was
in danger. Antisemitism prevailed
even in these far-off places. One
day, one of the jailers got angry
at him and wanted to kill him.
The man had already taken out
his revolver but R Mordechai
was not frightened. He went over
to him, looked him in the eyes
and pointed at his forehead and
said, Here, shoot here at my
Jewish forehead.
Amazingly,

CROSSROADS
THE SACRIFICE
OF AMONA
The decision by the Israel High Court of Justice at the behest of Peace
Now is not a personal issue against the forty families living on the
settlement and surely not on behalf of anonymous petitioners claiming
ownership over the land. Were talking here about an objection to the
very legitimacy of our presence there. The question is not Amona, rather
its about whether Yerushalayim, Yehuda, and Shomron are part of Eretz
Yisroel or not.

1.
As things stand for the
moment, it would appear that
on the struggle for Amona, we
may have lost the battle but
we won the war. While we got
the Regulation Law and saved
4,000 homes in Yehuda and
Shomron, we sacrificed the
settlement of Amona, our vital
strategic command and the forty
settler families, on the altar of
regulation.
However,
the
political
dynamics have their own rules.
First, we have to see whether
the law passes the test of the
High Court of Justice, the true
sovereign of the state of Israel,
second on the hierarchical ladder
after the occupant of the Oval

legitimate part of the Jewish
sovereignty in Eretz Yisroel. In
this aspect, the consequences
in matters of perception are far
more important than those of a
practical nature.
2.
Yet, it isnt the ruling by the
High Court of Justice, the prime
ministers public relations reps
have been telling us for the past
month: This is simply a matter of
timing. If the timing hadnt been
so problematic the last month
of Barack Obamas occupancy in
the White House, when there is a
serious concern of a diplomatic
initiative against the settlements
there easily could have been an
appropriate solution for securing
the future of Amona and another
four thousand homes in Yehuda
and Shomron in a similar legal
predicament. The prime minister
has wanted for some time to
extricate himself from his BarIlan speech commitment in
support of a two-state solution,
the right-wing PR people say, in
order to push forward a massive
construction project throughout
Yehuda and Shomron, firmly
establishing our presence there.
However, hes just been waiting
for the right moment, and that
moment is about to come. As
many in the nationalist rightwing camp had long been hoping
would happen, a new brand of
leadership will soon take over the
government of the United States.
Until then, Netanyahus hands
remain tied by the outgoing
lame-duck bosses in Washington,
the ones who pull the strings on
our little banana republic, just
like a marionette. As soon as the
new president moves into 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, they are
certain that their vision of a truly
right-wing government will be
realized. Therefore, why should
