  • Message on Passover 5784 for Humanity

    By Rabbi Moshe Perets The Festival of Passover has been celebrated by the People of Israel for more than 3300 years as the Festival of Freedom, for during the original Passover, God came to redeem us from slavery and bondage and made us into a people, and bequeathed to us His Torah at Mount Sinai though Moses His servant. From the Festival of Passover everyone can learn the great faith and trust that is fitting for every person have in God alone, that He is the one Who redeems and saves, as the People of Israel have believed in the salvation of God for thousands of years. It is also fitting for all people to believe and trust that the Lord, God of heaven and earth, takes care of everyone and assigns to each person a role and purpose in the world. This role begins with a person coming to complete faith in God, accepting the yoke of His Kingship and observing His commandments, and doing these things with joy. An additional and important point we learn from the Festival of Passover – according our Sages of blessed memory – is that just as our ancestors were redeemed from Egypt, likewise in the near future we will be redeemed by the true Messiah from the House of David. He will redeem the People of Israel from the exile, and bring us to the Land of Israel, and build our holy and splendorous Temple. This is also part of the Festival of Freedom: we celebrate not only our past freedom from Egypt, but also our belief and anticipation in our future freedom that God promised to us. The future redemption through the Messiah will resemble the redemption of the People of Israel from Egypt through Moses our teacher, but it will be great and wondrous, in a more wonderful form, compared to the miraculous redemption from slavery in Egypt that is recorded in the Book of Exodus.[1] One of the wonders of the future redemption is the revelation of the Divine light that will shine onto the whole world, to all humanity.[2] From the power of this light, all people will recognize the true existence of the Master of the world, Who fills the whole world, as stated by the prophet Isaiah (52:8-10): “with their own eyes they will see that God returns to Zion. Burst out, sing glad song in unison, O ruins of Jerusalem together, for God will have comforted His people; He will have redeemed Jerusalem. God has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; all ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.” Just as Moses our teacher at Mount Sinai began to repair the world, including all the Children of Noah by giving the Seven Commandments that were commanded to them, so too, the Messiah will teach and show the world (but in a more wondrous manner) the same recognition in the truth of the Creator of the universe which began to be revealed by Moses. It is a great merit for each and every one of us to bring himself and his community to the faith and anticipation of this future freedom for the whole world. This will be freedom from evil and falsehood, and a redemption by which we will merit to go out from darkness to a great and true light. How great are the words of Miamonides (Rambam) in Laws of Repentance, Chapter 3: “It is necessary for every person to view himself throughout the entire year as if he were equally balanced between merit and liability, and likewise the world as equally balanced between merit and liability … if he performs one mitzvah [good deed], he tips his balance and that of the entire world to the side of merit and brings deliverance and salvation to himself and others.” Each and every one of us who accept this should add in deeds of goodness and kindness, and will merit to have a part of this great light that is destined to shine in the world through the Messiah. With blessings, Rabbi Moshe Weiner Our Holy City of Jerusalem Israel our Holy Land [1] As explained in Chassidic teachings on the verse Michah 7:15, “As in the days of your exodus from Egypt, I [God] will show you wonders.” [2] Isaiah 60:3.

  • העקרונות המוסריים של שבע מצוות בני נח

    ביסוד המוסר והחוק של האמונה היהודית והאתיקה העולמית עומדות שבע מצוות נצחיות, המכונות "שבע מצוות בני נח". אלו מצוות שכל אחת מהן משקפת ערך מוסרי יסודי, הנועד להנחות את האדם לחיים טובים יותר ולקידום חברה צודקת ומוסרית. בואו נצלול לעומקם ונבין את משמעותם המעשית לחיינו. 1. איסור עבודה זרה והאמונה באל אחד: התודעה לכך שיש בורא אחד לעולם, שברא הכל ומשגיח על כל מעשי הבריות, מחייבת אותנו להפנות את עבודתנו ותפילותינו אך ורק אליו. זו דוחה כל פנייה אל אלילים או כוחות אחרים כאילו הם בעלי יכולת או שליטה. 2. כבוד השם ואיסור ברכת השם: אנו נדרשים לכבד את הבורא, להוקיר את גדולתו ולהימנע מכל דיבור גנאי או קללה כלפיו. זה מתבטא בדיבור ובהתנהגות שמשקפים כבוד ואהבה כלפי הבורא. 3. כבוד האדם ואיסור שפיכות דמים: ההכרה שכל אדם נברא בצלם אלוהים מחייבת אותנו לכבד את חיי האדם ולא לגרום לפגיעה בהם. הרג אדם הוא פגיעה ביסודות המוסר הבסיסיים ובבריאת העולם. 4. כיבוד רכוש הזולת ואיסור גזל: כל אדם זכאי לבעלות על רכושו. גזל, גניבה או הוצאת רכוש מרשות אחר בכל דרך שהיא, הם עוולות שמפרות את האמון החברתי ואת הזכות הבסיסית לקניין. 5. כיבוד מוסד המשפחה ואיסור גילוי עריות: חוקי הנישואין והמשפחה קובעים את המסגרת לחיים משותפים בריאים ומוסריים. גילוי עריות, הפרת נאמנות במערכות זוגיות, והפרת הגבולות המשפחתיים הם הפרות של המוסד החשוב הזה. 6. כבוד בעלי חיים ואיסור אבר מן החי: אנו נדרשים לכבד את החיים בכל צורותיהם, כולל בעלי חיים. איסור אכילת אבר מן החי מדגיש את הצורך להתייחס ברחמים ובכבוד אל עולם החי. 7. הקמת מערכת משפט ומינוי דיינים: בשביל שכל החוקים הללו יתממשו, נדרשת מערכת משפט פועלת עם שופטים המחויבים לפסק דין עפ"י העקרונות המוסריים הללו. זה מבטיח שהחברה תוכל לפעול תחת ערכים של צדק, יושר, והוגנות. לסיכום, שבע המצוות בני נח מהוות מערכת ערכים מוסרית יסודית, המיועדת לכלל בני האדם, ללא קשר למוצא, דת או מוצא אתני. הן מציעות מסגרת לחיים שבהם האדם חי בהרמוניה עם עצמו, עם חברו ועם הבורא. ברור כי מעבר להיותן ציוויים דתיים, יש במצוות אלו ביטוי לרעיונות עולמיים של צדק ומוסר, המובילים אותנו לחברה טובה יותר. המצוות הללו מכילות פרטים רבים ועמוקים, המזמינים כל אדם ללמוד ולחקור את עומקן ומשמעותן. כל אחת מהמצוות מעניקה לנו את הכלים לבנות ולקיים חברה שבה הכבוד ההדדי, האהבה והצדק הם העמודים התומכים. המשימה שלנו היא לקחת את הערכים האלו ולהפוך אותם למעשה, בכל יום ויום, בכל מעשה ומעשה.

  • What Can We Learn from The Life of Jacob?

    By Rabbi Moshe Perets Jacob is a patriarch in the Bible. He is one of the central figures in the Book of Genesis and plays a significant role in the history of Judaism. Here are some lessons that can be learned from Jacob's life and experiences: Persistence and Determination: Jacob's life is characterized by persistence and determination. From his birth, where he grasps his twin brother Esau's heel (hence the name Jacob, meaning "heel grabber" or "supplanter"), to his wrestling with God at Peniel, Jacob demonstrates the importance of perseverance in facing challenges and striving for goals. Transformation and Growth: Jacob undergoes significant personal growth and transformation throughout his life. He starts as a cunning and opportunistic individual, as seen in his dealings with Esau and Laban. However, through trials, hardships, and encounters with God, Jacob matures spiritually and morally, becoming a more compassionate and righteous person. Faith and Trust in God: Despite his flaws and mistakes, Jacob maintains a strong faith and trust in God. His experiences, such as the dream of the ladder reaching to heaven (Jacob's ladder) and God's promises to him, deepen his belief in divine providence and guidance. Family Dynamics: Jacob's relationships with his family members, especially his wives Leah and Rachel, highlight the complexities of family dynamics. Forgiveness and Reconciliation: Jacob's reconciliation with Esau after years of estrangement exemplifies the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in relationships. Their emotional reunion and forgiveness of past wrongs demonstrate the healing power of forgiveness and the possibility of restoring broken relationships Legacy and Blessing: Jacob's blessing of his sons before his death reflects the importance of passing down blessings, wisdom, and values to future generations. His blessings provide insights into each son's character and destiny, emphasizing the continuity of the family lineage and the significance of ancestral blessings in Jewish tradition. Overall, Jacob's life story offers valuable lessons about resilience, spiritual growth, family dynamics, forgiveness, and the importance of faith in God. His experiences resonate with themes of human struggle, redemption, and divine providence, making him a relatable and inspirational figure for believers and seekers alike.
