About This Text
Kitzur Shulchan Arukh
Halakhah
The Kitzur Shulchan Arukh (“Abridged Shulchan Arukh”) is a simplified summary of the Shulchan Arukh, focusing on Orach Chayim and Yoreh De’ah, the sections most relevant to ordinary daily life. The work presents laws without listing differing views or providing reasoning, interspersing ethical maxims throughout. Immensely popular for its simplicity and clarity, it functions as a handbook for daily life for many Ashkenazi Jews and has been translated into five languages. It is known for its strict rulings.

It is forbidden to allow a non-Jew to do work for you on Shabbos. They (the Sages) based this on the verse: "No manner of work should be done," which implies (not) even through a non-Jew. If you give the work to the non-Jew on Friday even though the non-Jew does it on Shabbos, it is permissible, But only on these conditions: a) the non-Jew must take the article from the house of the Jew before Shabbos and not on Shabbos.
b) The wages of the non-Jew should be set in advance so that he will be doing the work for his own sake in order to get paid. Therefore, if you have a non-Jewish servant for a pre-determined period of time, it is forbidden to allow him to do any work for you on Shabbos, because then the work is done solely for the benefit of the Jew. If a non-Jew travels to a certain place and a Jew gives him a letter to carry there, which he will carry on Shabbos, the Jew must give him some compensation, so that the non-Jew does it for his compensation and not gratis.
c) The wage should be established for the entire job, and the non-Jew should not be hired by the day.
e) The work should not be connected with the soil such as construction or farm work. Construction work is forbidden through a non-Jew on Shabbos even if you have stipulated his wage for the entire construction job. If the matter is very pressing you should consult a Rabbinical authority. And even to cut stones or prepare wooden beams for building purposes, if it is known that they belong to a Jew, and the non-Jew works on it in public, it is forbidden to be done on Shabbos. This rule applies also to farm work such as plowing, harvesting, etc; even if you hired the non-Jew to do the job for a set wage, (contractual basis) and he is not a salaried worker, it is forbidden. However, if the non-Jew receives a percentage of the crop, and it is customary in those areas, that the farm worker shares in the crops, it is permitted. If the field is far away, so that no Jew lives within techum Shabbos, it is permissible [for the non-Jew to work on it] even for a pre-set wage (without a share), provided he is not paid by the day.
If a non-Jew built a house for a Jew on Shabbos, in violation (of the aforementioned Halachos), it is proper to be scrupulous and not move into it. (This Halachah has many details.)
If you own a field or mill, you may lease them to a non-Jew even though the non-Jew will work there on Shabbos. But you may not lease a bathhouse to him. If the bathhouse is not yours, but you merely rented it from a non-Jew, you should consult a Rabbinical authority on how to act. Similarly, if you own a hotel, brick factory or glass factory, etc., you should consult a Rabbinical authority on how to act.

Siman 73
אָסוּר לְהַנִּיחַ לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה מְלֶאכֶת יִשְֹרָאֵל בַּשַׁבָּת, וּסְמָכוּהוּ עַל הַפָּסוּק, כָּל מְלָאכָה לֹא יֵעָשֶׂה, דְּמַשְׁמַע אֲפִלּוּ עַל יְדֵי אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי. וְאִם מוֹסֵר לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי אֶת הַמְּלָאכָה בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי עוֹשֶׂה בְּשַׁבָּת, מֻתָּר. אֲבָל רַק בְּאֵלּוּ הָאֳפָנִים: (א) שֶׁהָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי יִקַּח אֶת הַחֵפֶץ מִבֵּיתוֹ שֶׁל יִשְֹרָאֵל קֹדֶם הַשַׁבָּת וְלֹא בְּשַׁבָּת.

If you give the work to the non-Jew on Friday even though the non-Jew does it on Shabbos, it is permissible, But only on these conditions: a) the non-Jew must take the article from the house of the Jew before Shabbos and not on Shabbos.
שֶׁיִּקְצֹץ לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שְׂכָרוֹ, שֶׁאָז הוּא עוֹשֶׂה אֶת הַמְּלָאכָה בִּשְׁבִיל עַצְמוֹ, שֶׁיְקַבֵּל שְׂכָרוֹ. וְלָכֵן מִי שֶׁיֵשׁ לוֹ מְשָׁרֵת אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי לִזְמַן יָדוּעַ, אָסוּר לְהַנִּיחַ לוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת מְלָאכָה בְּשַׁבָּת, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהַמְּלָאכָה הִיא רַק לְתוֹעֶלֶת הַיִשְֹרָאֵל. וְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי הַנּוֹסֵעַ לְאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם וְיִשְֹרָאֵל נוֹתֵן לוֹ אִגֶּרֶת שֶׁיִּשָּׂאֶהָ שָׁמָּה. וְיִשָּׂאֶהָ גַּם בְּשַׁבָּת, צָרִיךְ הַיִשְֹרָאֵל לָתֵת לוֹ אֵיזֶה שָׂכָר, כְּדֵי שֶׁהָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי יַעֲשֶׂה בִּשְׁבִיל שְׂכָרוֹ וְלֹא בְּחִנָּם.
b) The wages of the non-Jew should be set in advance so that he will be doing the work for his own sake in order to get paid. Therefore, if you have a non-Jewish servant for a pre-determined period of time, it is forbidden to allow him to do any work for you on Shabbos, because then the work is done solely for the benefit of the Jew. If a non-Jew travels to a certain place and a Jew gives him a letter to carry there, which he will carry on Shabbos, the Jew must give him some compensation, so that the non-Jew does it for his compensation and not gratis.
הַשָּׂכָר יְהֵא קָצוּב לְכָל הַמְּלָאכָה, וְלֹא יְהֵא הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שְׂכִיר יוֹם (רמג רנב).
c) The wage should be established for the entire job, and the non-Jew should not be hired by the day.
אָסוּר לִקְבֹּעַ לְהָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה הַמְּלָאכָה בְּשַׁבָּת. וַאֲפִלּוּ אִם אֵינוֹ קוֹבֵעַ לוֹ בְּפֵרוּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בְּשַׁבָּת, אֶלָּא שֶׁהוּא קוֹבֵעַ לוֹ זְמַן שֶׁיִּגָּמֵר הַמְּלָאכָה סָמוּךְ לְאַחַר הַשַׁבָּת, וְיָדוּעַ כִּי אִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁיִּגְמֹר אֶת הַמְּלָאכָה עַד יוֹם זֶה, אִם לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה גַּם בְּשַׁבָּת, גַּם כֵּן אָסוּר. וְכֵן אִם שׁוֹלֵחַ בְּיָדוֹ אִגֶּרֶת וְאוֹמֵר לוֹ, רְאֵה שֶׁתְּבִיאֵהוּ שָׁמָּה בְּיוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְיָדוּעַ כִּי אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהַגִּיעַ שָׁמָּה אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יֵלֵךְ גַּם בְּשַׁבָּת, גַּם כֵּן אָסוּר. וְכֵן אִם יוֹם הַשּׁוּק הוּא בְּיוֹם הַשַׁבָּת, אָסוּר לָתֵת לַנָּכְרִי מָעוֹת בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת שֶּׁיִּקְנֶה לוֹ אֵיזֶה דָּבָר שֶׁיָּדוּעַ שֶׁאֵינוֹ מוֹצֵא לִקְנוֹתוֹ כִּי אִם בְּשַׁבָּת. וְכֵן אָסוּר לִתֵּן לוֹ אֵיזֶה דָּבָר לְמָכְרוֹ בְּעִנְיָן זֶה. וְאוּלָם אֹפֶן זֶה שֶׁאֵינוֹ קוֹבֵעַ לוֹ בְּפֵרוּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בַשַׁבָּת, אֵינוֹ אָסוּר, אֶלָּא בַּנּוֹתֵן לוֹ בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, אֲבָל קוֹדֵם לָכֵן, מֻתָּר לָתֵת לוֹ הַחֵפֶץ לַעֲשׂוֹת אוֹ מָעוֹת לִקְנוֹת, וְטוֹב שֶׁלֹּא לָדוּר כְּלָל בְּעִיר שֶׁיּוֹם הַשּׁוּק הוּא בְּשַׁבָּת, כִּי אִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁלֹּא יֶחְטָא. וְאִם הַשּׁוּק אֵינוֹ בִּשְׁכוּנַת הַיְהוּדִים, אֵין לָחשׁ.
d) It is forbidden to stipulate with the non-Jew that he do the work on Shabbos. Even if you are not explicit about his doing it on Shabbos, but you set the time for the work to be completed shortly after Shabbos, and it is clearly impossible to complete the work by that time unless it is done on Shabbos; this too is prohibited. Similarly, if you give him a letter and tell him, "See to it that it is delivered there on such and such day," and it is clearly impossible, unless he travels on Shabbos; this too is prohibited. Likewise, if the market day is on Shabbos, it is forbidden to give a non-Jew money on Friday to buy something for you when you know that he can only buy it on Shabbos. Similarly, it is forbidden to give him something to sell for you under these conditions. However, the aforementioned instance in which you did not specify that he do the work on Shabbos is only prohibited if you give (the work) to him on Erev Shabbos, but before then you may give him something to make or some money with which to make purchases. It is best not to live in a city where the (only) market day is on Shabbos, for it is impossible to avoid violations. If the market is not in the Jewish neighborhood, there is no reason to worry.
הַמְּלָאכָה לֹא תְהֵא בִּמְחֻבָּר לְקַּרְקַע, כְּגוֹן בִּנְיָן אוֹ עֲבוֹדַת הַשָּׂדֶה. אֲבָל עֲבוֹדַת הַבִּנְיָן, אָסוּר שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי בַּשַׁבָּת, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהַיִשְֹרָאֵל קָצַץ עִמּוֹ כָּל שְׂכַר הַבִּנְיָן לְגַמְרֵי. וּבִשְׁעַת דְּחָק גָּדוֹל יַעֲשֶׂה שְׁאֵלַת חָכָם. וַאֲפִלּו לְסַתֵּת אֲבָנִים אוֹלְתַקֵּן קוֹרוֹת לְצֹרֶךְ בִּנְיָן, אִם יָדוּעַ שֶׁהֵמָּה שֶׁל יִשְֹרָאֵל, וְהַנָּכְרִי עוֹשֶׂה בָּרְחוֹב בִּמְקוֹם פַּרְהֶסְיָא, אָסוּר שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בְּשַׁבָּת. וְכֵן עֲבוֹדַת הַשָּׂדֶה, כְּגוֹן לַחֲרוֹשׁ וְלִקְצוֹר וְכַדּוֹמֶה, אֲפִלּוּ אִם שָׂכַר אֶת הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה כָּל הַמְּלָאכָה בְּעַד סְכוּם יָדוּעַ וְאֵינוֹ שְׂכִיר יוֹם, אָסוּר. אֲבָל אִם הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי נוֹטֵל חֵלֶק מִן הַתְּבוּאָה, וְהַמִּנְהָג הוּא כֵּן בְּאוֹתָן הַמְּקוֹמוֹת, שֶׁהָעוֹבֵד אֶת הָאֲדָמָה נוֹטֵל חֵלֶק בַּתְּבוּאָה, מֻתָּר. וְאִם הַשָּׂדֶה הוּא בְּמָקוֹם רָחוֹק שֶׁאֵין יִשְֹרָאֵל דָּר בְּתוֹךְ תְּחוּם שַׁבָּת מִמֶּנּוּ, מֻתָּר גַּם בִּשְׂכִירוּת בִּסְכוּם יָדוּעַ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שְׂכִיר יוֹם.
e) The work should not be connected with the soil such as construction or farm work. Construction work is forbidden through a non-Jew on Shabbos even if you have stipulated his wage for the entire construction job. If the matter is very pressing you should consult a Rabbinical authority. And even to cut stones or prepare wooden beams for building purposes, if it is known that they belong to a Jew, and the non-Jew works on it in public, it is forbidden to be done on Shabbos. This rule applies also to farm work such as plowing, harvesting, etc; even if you hired the non-Jew to do the job for a set wage, (contractual basis) and he is not a salaried worker, it is forbidden. However, if the non-Jew receives a percentage of the crop, and it is customary in those areas, that the farm worker shares in the crops, it is permitted. If the field is far away, so that no Jew lives within techum Shabbos, it is permissible [for the non-Jew to work on it] even for a pre-set wage (without a share), provided he is not paid by the day.
אִם בָּנוּ גוֹיִם לְיִשְֹרָאֵל בַּיִת בְּשַׁבָּת בְּאִסוּר, נָכוֹן לְהַחְמִיר שֶׁלֹּא יִכָּנֵס בּוֹ (וְיֵשׁ בָּזֶה כַּמָּה חִלּוּקֵי דִּינִים).
If a non-Jew built a house for a Jew on Shabbos, in violation (of the aforementioned Halachos), it is proper to be scrupulous and not move into it. (This Halachah has many details.)
מִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ שָׂדֶה אוֹ רֵיחַיִם, מֻתָּר לְהַשְׂכִּירָן לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי עוֹשֶׂה בָהֶם מְלָאכָה בַּשַׁבָּת. אֲבָל מֶרְחָץ אָסוּר לְהַשְׂכִּיר לוֹ. וְאִם הַמֶּרְחָץ אֵינוֹ שֶׁל יִשְֹרָאֵל אֶלָּא בִּשְׂכִירוּת מֵאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי, יַעֲשֶׂה שְׁאֵלַת חָכָם אֵיךְ יִנְהַג בּוֹ. וְכֵן מִי שֶׁהוּא מַחְזִיק מֶכֶס פֻּנְדָּק (ווירטסהויז), מִלְבָּנָה (ציגעל הוטע) בֵּית יְצִיקָה לִזְכוּכִית (גלאז הוטטע) וְכַדּוֹמֶה, צָרִיךְ שְׁאֵלַת חָכָם אֵיךְ יִנְהַג בָּהֶם (רמ"ג רמ"ד).
If you own a field or mill, you may lease them to a non-Jew even though the non-Jew will work there on Shabbos. But you may not lease a bathhouse to him. If the bathhouse is not yours, but you merely rented it from a non-Jew, you should consult a Rabbinical authority on how to act. Similarly, if you own a hotel, brick factory or glass factory, etc., you should consult a Rabbinical authority on how to act.
בְּבֵיתוֹ שֶׁל יִשְֹרָאֵל, אָסוּר לְהַנִּיחַ לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה מְלָאכָה בְּשׁוּם אֹפֶן. וַאֲפִלּוּ מְשָׁרֵת אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁרוֹצֶה לַעֲשׂוֹת מְלָאכָה בִּשְׁבִיל עַצְמוֹ צְרִיכִין לִמְחוֹת בּוֹ (רנב שה).
It is forbidden to allow a non-Jew to do a melachah under any circumstances in the house of a Jew. Even if a non-Jewish servant wants to do a melachah for himself [in your house], you must protest his doing so.
אֻמָּן אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁעָשָׂה מַלְבּוּשׁ בִּשְׁבִיל יִשְֹרָאֵל, וְהֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בַּשַׁבָּת, מֻתָּר לְלָבְשׁוֹ. וְאִם יָדוּעַ שֶׁגְּמָרוֹ בְּשַׁבָּת, אֵין לְלָבְשׁוֹ כִּי אִם לְצֹרֶךְ גָּדוֹל. אֲבָל אָסוּר לִקַּח כֵּלִים וּמַלְבּוּשִׁים מִבֵּית הָאֻמָּן, אֲפִלּוּ מֵאֻמָּן יִשְֹרָאֵל בַּשַׁבָּת וְיוֹם טוֹב. וְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁאֵינוֹ אֻמָּן, אֶלָּא שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ חֲנוּת שֶׁמּוֹכֵר מִנְעָלִים וְכַדּוֹמֶה, מֻתָּר לְיִשְֹרָאֵל הַמַּכִּירוֹ לִקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ בַּשַׁבָּת וּלְנָעֳלָם, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יִקְצֹץ עִמּוֹ דְּמֵי הַמִּקָח, וְגַם לֹא יִהְיוּ דְּבָרִים שֶׁהוּבְאוּ מִחוּץ לַתְּחוּם (רנ"ב).
If a non-Jewish tailor made a garment for you, and brought it to you on Shabbos you may wear it. But if you know that he completed it on Shabbos you may not wear it unless it is of extreme necessity. You are not allowed to take vessels or clothing from the craftsman's house, not even from a Jewish craftsman, on Shabbos or Yom Tov. If the non-Jew is not a craftsman but owns a store that sells shoes etc., a Jew who knows him well is permitted to take shoes from him on Shabbos and wear them. (You may do this) provided the price of the merchandise was not established and (provided) the goods were not brought from outside the techum.
כֵּלִים שֶׁעוֹשִׂין בָּהֶם מְלָאכָה, כְּגוֹן מַחְרֵשָׁה וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהּ, אָסוּר לְהַשְׂכִּיר לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת. וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין אָנוּ מְצֻוִּים עַל שְׁבִיתַת כֵּלִים, מִכָּל מָקוֹם כֵּיוָן שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֵל שָׂכָר וְהִשְׂכִּירוֹ בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, מִחְזֵי כְּאִלּוּ הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי הוּא שְׁלוּחוֹ. וּבְיוֹם ה' מֻתָּר לוֹ לְהַשְׂכִּירוֹ. וּלְהַשְׁאִיל לוֹ, מֻתָּר אֲפִלּוּ בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, וַאֲפִלּוּ כֵּלִים שֶׁעוֹשִׂין בָּהֶם מְלָאכָה, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיִּקְחֵם הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי מִבֵּיתוֹ שֶׁל יִשְֹרָאֵל קֹדֶם הַכְנָסַת שַׁבָּת. אֲפִלּוּ אִם מַתְנֶה עִם הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁהוּא יַשְׁאִיל לוֹ עֲבוּר זֹאת כֵּלָיו בְּפַעַם אַחֶרֶת, מֻתָּר, וְלֹא אָמְרֵינָן בְּכִי הַאי גַּוְנָא דַּהֲוֵי כִּשְׂכִירוּת. וְכֵן לְהַשְׂכִּיר לוֹ כֵּלִים שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין בָּהֶם מְלָאכָה, מֻתָּר אֲפִלּוּ בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת כְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי מוֹצִיאָם קֹדֶם שַׁבָּת (רמ"ו).
Tools that are used for a melachah, such as a plow or similar things, are forbidden to be rented to a non-Jew on Erev Shabbos. For though we are not commanded to let our utensils rest (on Shabbos), nevertheless, since you take a fee, and you rented it to him on Erev Shabbos, it appears as though the non-Jew is your agent. However, on Thursday, you may rent to a non-Jew. It is permitted to lend him [tools] even on Erev Shabbos, even tools normally used for a melachah, provided the non-Jew takes them from your house before the Shabbos sets in. Even if you make an agreement with the non-Jew that he lends you his tools, in return, on another occasion, it is permitted, and we do not consider this equivalent to renting. And so to rent him utensils not used for a melachah, is also permitted, even on Erev Shabbos; provided the non-Jew removes them before Shabbos.
הָא דְּמֻתָּר לְהַשְׂכִּיר כֵּלִים לְאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי בָּאֳפָנִים הַנִּזְכָּרִים, דַּוְקָא כְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ נוֹטֵל שְׂכַר שַׁבָּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ אֶלָּא בְּהַבְלָעָה תּוֹךְ שְׁאָר יָמִים, כְּגוֹן שֶׁמַּשְׂכִּיר לְחֹדֶשׁ אוֹ לְשָׁבוּעַ, וְאוֹמֵר לוֹ: בְּעַד כָּל שָׁבוּעַ אוֹ בְּעַד כָּל חֹדֶשׁ תִּתֵּן לִי כָּךְ וְכָךְ, אוֹ אֲפִלּוּ בְּעַד כָּל בּ' יָמִים אוֹ כָּל גּ' יָמִים. אֲבָל שְׂכַר שַׁבָּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, אָסוּר לִטּוֹל. אֲפִלּוּ הִשְׂכִּיר לוֹ לְשָׁנָה וְחוֹשְׁבִים יָמִים נִפְרָדִים, שֶׁאוֹמֵר: אֲנִי מַשְׂכִּיר לְךָ לְשָׁנָה אוֹ לְחֹדֶשׁ, וּבְעַד כָּל יוֹם וָיוֹם תִּתֵּן לִי כָּךְ וְכָךְ, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאַחַר כָּךְ מְשַׁלֵּם הָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי בְּעַד כָּל הַיָּמִים בְּבַת אַחַת, אָסוּר לִטּוֹל שָׂכָר הַמַּגִּיעַ לַשַׁבָּתוֹת, כֵּיוָן שֶׁמְחַשְּׁבִין יָמִים נִפְרָדִים. וְאָסוּר לִטֹּל שְׂכַר שַׁבָּת שֶׁלֹּא בְּהַבְלָעָה, אֲפִלּוּ בְּעַד כֵּלִים שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין בָּהֶן מְלָאכָה, וַאֲפִלּו בְּעַד חֶדֶר לָדוּר בּוֹ (רמו מו). וְאִסּוּר שְׂכַר שַׁבָּת הוּא בֵּין מֵאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי בֵּין מִיִשְֹרָאֵל.
It is permitted to rent vessels to a non-Jew, on the aforementioned conditions, only when you are not paid for Shabbos separately, but rather as a day among the other days. For example (it is permitted) to rent him (the vessels) for a month or a week, and tell him, "For the entire week or the entire month you must pay me this amount," or even [if you tell him] "For every two or three days (you must pay this amount)"; but specific payment for Shabbos, is forbidden. Even if you rent it to him for a year and you calculated individual days, [for example, if] you said, "I am leasing it to you for a year or a month, and for each day pay me so much"; even though afterwards the non-Jew pays you for all the days in one lump sum, it is forbidden to accept the compensation for Shabbos, since individual days were calculated. It is forbidden to accept compensation for Shabbos unless it is included as part of a time period, even for such utensils that are not used for a melachah, and not even for the rental of a room. The prohibition of taking compensation for Shabbos is from non-Jews and Jews alike.

Five possessions did the Holy Blessed One, set aside as his own in this world, and these are they: The Torah, one possession; Heaven and earth, another possession; Abraham, another possession; Israel, another possession; The Temple, another possession. 1a) The Torah is one possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written, “The Lord possessed (usually translated as ‘created’) me at the beginning of his course, at the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). 2a) Heaven and earth, another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “Thus said the Lord: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode? (Isaiah 66:1) And it says: “How many are the things You have made, O Lord; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions” (Psalms 104:24). 3a) Abraham is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “He blessed him, saying, “Blessed by Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 15:19). 4a) Israel is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “Till Your people cross over, O Lord, Till Your people whom You have possessed” (Exodus 15:16). And it says: “As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire (possession) is in them” (Psalms 16:3). 5a) The Temple is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “The sanctuary, O lord, which your hands have established” (Exodus 15:17”, And it says: “And He brought them to His holy realm, to the mountain, which His right hand had possessed” (Psalms 78:54).
I like to call out to all my Jewish friends:
Zechariah 8:23
23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
כגכֹּֽה־אָמַר֘ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֚ר יַֽחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם:
ten men: from the seventy nations. This equals seven hundred for each corner. For the four corners of the tallith there will be two thousand and eight hundred.
עשרה אנשים: משבעים לשון הרי שבע מאות לכל כנף וכנף הרי לד' כנפי הטלית אלפים ושמונ' מאו':
That may come in fulfillment in our days:
Our souls are bearing the ‘sparks’ (divine aspects) of Messiah.It is forbidden to pray to bow down to any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or before any image or to lift up a human being as a god…… or to put any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or any image before or instead or between HaShem and us. ('It suf')“The redemption will come about only through the study of the Torah. And the essential redemption depends upon the study of the Kabbalah” According to: R. ELIYAHU, THE VILNA GAON (Evven Shelemah (a ‘complete, without defect stone’) 11:3)When Yehuda and Ephraim come to unity (again) Messiah Ben Joseph 'died' and Messiah Ben David shall be revealed and anointed by the Israeli people as the Messiah-King of Israel. As YeshaYahu is teaching:Isa 11:9 – 16 They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Adonai as the waters cover the sea.Rashi: knowledge of the Lord: [lit.] to know the Lord.10 And on that day, there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the nations shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem.Rashi: as a banner for peoples: that peoples should raise a banner to gather to him.11 And it shall be in that day that Adonai sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from Shin‛ar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea.Rashi: a second time: Just as he acquired them from Egypt, when their redemption was absolute, without subjugation, but the redemption preceding the building of the Second Temple is not counted, since they were subjugated to Cyrus.and from the islands of the sea: the islands of the Kittim, the Romans, the descendants of Esau.And he shall raise a banner: Perka, perche in O.F. [i.e., the verse is literally referring to the pole upon which the banner is attached.] And it shall be for a sign to gather to him and to bring the exiles of Israel to Him as a present.12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’ěl, and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏa from the four corners of the earth.13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Yehuḏa be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehuḏa, and Yehuḏa not trouble Ephrayim.Rashi: Ephraim shall not envy Judah: The Messiah, the son of David, and the Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not envy each other.14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.Rashi: And they shall fly of one accord against the Philistines in the west: Heb. בְכָתֵף. Israel will fly and run of one accord against the Philistines who are in the west of Eretz Israel and conquer their land. [כָּתֵף, lit. a shoulder, is used in this case to denote unity. The word שֶׁכֶם, also lit. a shoulder, is used in a similar sense.] Comp. (Hoshea 6:9) “They murder on the way in unison (שֶׁכְמָה) ”; (Zeph. 3:9) “One accord (שְׁכֶם אֶחָד).” And so did Jonathan rendered it: And they shall join in one accord to smite the Philistines who are in the west.and the children of Ammon shall obey them: As the Targum states: Will hearken to them. They will accept their commandments over them.15 And Adonai shall put under the ban the tongue of the Sea of Mitsrayim, and He shall wave His hand over the River with the might of His Spirit, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and shall cause men to tread it in sandals.Rashi: And… shall dry up: [lit. shall cut off] to dry it, so that the exiles of Israel will pass through it from Egypt.over the river: The Euphrates River, for the exiles from Assyria to cross.with the strength of His wind: Heb. בַּעְיָם. This is hapax legomenon in Scripture, and according to the context it can be interpreted as “with the strength of His wind.”into seven streams: into seven segments, for the aforementioned seven exiles: from Assyria and from Egypt, etc. Those from the islands of the sea are not from that side.and He shall lead: the exiles within it.with shoes: on dry land.16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur, as it was for Yisra’ěl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim.Rashi: And there shall be a highway: in the midst of the water for the remnant of His people.

'Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims
**AMIT HALEVI'S PLAN WOULD GIVE MUSLIMS CONTROL OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT COMPLEX, WHICH CONTAINS THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, WHILE JEWS WOULD RECEIVE THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS.
(JUNE 8, 2023 / JNS)**A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.According to Halevi, the reorganization makes sense from a religious point of view because that part of the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where it is believed the First and Second Temples stood. The Foundation Stone at the center of the Dome of the Rock is where Jewish sources place the Holy of Holies.“This is the place of the First Temple and the place of the Second Temple built by Babylonian immigrants. No one needs to examine the stones to know that it is ours,” he said.Halevi also wants to end Israel’s agreement with the Jordanian Waqf whereby the Islamic trust controls and manages Islamic edifices on the Temple Mount.“Why not give them status in the Dizengoff Center [a large shopping mall in Tel Aviv] as well? This is a terrible mistake. This status should be abolished. I know it’s an agreement between countries, but we have to deal with it. It requires change, even if the process will take time,” he said.In addition, Halevi wants to give Jews the same access to the Temple Mount enjoyed by Muslims. Currently, the Waqf only allows Jews and non-Muslim tourists access to the Temple Mount via the Maghrebi Gate and only at certain hours when the gate is open.“We will take the northern end and pray there. The entire mountain is sacred to us, and the Dome of the Rock is the place on which the Temple stood. This should be our guideline,” he said. “Israel is leading. It will be a historical, religious and national statement. If this does not happen then you are not actually the owner of the house. You are a klutz. Why are you even going in there?”
Please let we all, Jews and all their friends, take the Har HaBayit and start building the Temple and restoring her service?כִּ֤י אִם־הֵיטֵיב֙ תֵּיטִ֔יבוּ אֶת־דַּרְכֵיכֶ֖ם וְאֶת־מַעַלְלֵיכֶ֑ם אִם־עָשׂ֤וֹ תַֽעֲשׂוּ֙ מִשְׁפָּ֔ט בֵּ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ וּבֵ֥ין רֵעֵֽהוּ׃
No, if you really mend your ways and your actions; if you execute justice between one party and another; גֵּ֣ר יָת֤וֹם וְאַלְמָנָה֙ לֹ֣א תַעֲשֹׁ֔קוּ וְדָ֣ם נָקִ֔י אַֽל־תִּשְׁפְּכ֖וּ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְאַחֲרֵ֨י אֱלֹהִ֧ים אֲחֵרִ֛ים לֹ֥א תֵלְכ֖וּ לְרַ֥ע לָכֶֽם׃
if you do not oppress the stranger, the orphan, and the widow; if you do not shed the blood of the innocent in this place; if you do not follow other gods, to your own hurt— וְשִׁכַּנְתִּ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לַאֲבוֹתֵיכֶ֑ם לְמִן־עוֹלָ֖ם וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
