Rabbi Ginsburgh for Toldot 5783
Wonders • Youtube • Telegram • Whatsapp • Facebook • Donate Happy Rosh Chodesh Kislev! The sleep that is the sense of the month of Kislev is not an escape from reality into a dream world. Instead, it affords us the opportunity to dream in a manner that will allow us to realize the dream and by means of the dream—to influence reality. This, for example, was the power of the Hasmoneans, whose successful war together with its miracles we celebrate on Chanukah, at the end of the month of Kislev. Their ability to face off against the Hellenists, a branch of the world-culture of their time, stemmed from the power of their vision and their dream. While a dream is nothing more than virtual reality, it makes it possible for a person to act in reality by the light of his dream—to shoot arrows from his vision into reality in order to rectify and change it. Kislev is the time to dream and to watch as dreams do come true! Shabbat Shalom, |

The Maharsha: Advice for the Living and the Dead |
Sometimes,
it is tempting to defame someone who seems to be on a lower level than
we are. But in our story, we see that what meets the eye is not
necessarily the entire story and believing it can lead to huge mistakes.
