A diligent six year old just trying to make a place for the Almighty in every crevice of the world.

איתא במי השילוח ״קדוש לשון הזמנה
Because you’ve been invited in. Invited
into you!
And that invitation is to show you that the foreigners are only on the outside. And I choose what I put into my body and mind as the Tanya says in chapters 12-14

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

Menachos 8b
מנין שאם הקיפו עובדי כוכבים את העזרה שהכהנים נכנסין להיכל ואוכלין בקדשי קדשים ושירי מנחות ת״ל ״בקדש הקדשים תאכלו״

Listen to this my friends
How do I know that when I’m surrounded, internally, by foreign ideas and influences that are antithetical to who I want to be,

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

That still I know there’s a chamber that is open and spacious (עזרה). Not only that but that I can fill that open space with sustenance of spiritual food and the amazing affects of the practice of gratitude (מנחות)?

CVS ר״ת Chas v’Shalom
As if they’re saying, “We want our customers to be healthy. Were they not come here and we’ll take care of it.”

This is Purim Torah

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

Doing Daf Yomi and reading Elie Wiesel’s writings on the Talmudic Sages has given me a great appreciation for the characters and personalities in the Gemara
Seeing the irony of Ben Azzai saying “A women isn’t punished if her husband doesn’t bring a vowed korban”
BA wasn’t married

כל העוסק בקורבנות כאלו הקריב קורבן שנא' ונשלמה פרים שפתינו
Today we being a new Seder in Shas: Kodshim
Dealing with the rules regauding Korbanot
As a nation, we have the opportunity to bring a korban to Hashem, which is the time we spend learning the Daf

This posuk raises the eye of the connoisseur of Torah
Classically, we think of there being 6 basic directions: NEWS, up, and down. Though here we're hinted to a 7th
This is the direction inward
Even their very insides will run away and abandon them
There's much more to be said

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

משורר התשובה הנולדת כבר
ואם בשחקים עודנה צרורה שמה נשמתך בצרור החיים מהרה רדה! ועורר כינורך
ישמעו כל דכאי לב יאזינו ערלי רוח להמית נבליך ושבו וחיו
Ah G-dly Poet return us to the chain link of life that is HaShem the Ultimate Lover of Humanity
Please come down and show us life!

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

Please Join the Daf!
Ask me why?
I do not see a better way to acquire knowledge in torah and its concepts
Such an acquisition settles the mind and the trauma that surrounds the idea of learning Gemara!
Especially w/ R Eli @MercazDafYomi

Plus a free Gemara

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

ר״ח אלול תשפה
ה׳ לי ולא אירא
ב״ר כ אשר לר׳ מאיר היה ס״ת שהחליף א׳ ע׳
כלומר ה׳ שלי ולא משנה מה אירע בחיי ו״מה יעשה לי אדם״
כי פחד כשהוא בתוך מציאות של ה׳ נק׳ לחסות
וזולתו הוא חרדה
הפחד הטבעי הוא נובע מתחבולות בני אדם
לכן יש לשחרר ולהודות שאנו בני אדם מלא חסרון ושאיפות

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

For all its ways are are paths of progress to pleasantness
דרכיה דרכי נעם פ' נעם לשון נע ם׳ נע בבח׳ תנועה והזזה בבח' נע ונד כל היום בבח׳ עראי, ם' התנועות של הבן אדם.
ר״ל בכל זה שכאשר אני מרגיש שאני נע ונד כל היום זה גם יקח אותי לנעם כפשוטו
והוא ע״י הידיעה שנתיבותה שלום

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

@zushamusic
The sweetness of this melody ah
Sometimes it can be confusing to travel in the worlds of the Torah
It can be rocky
We must latch on to the Torah and know that it is a tree that gives life to those who strengthen it
מחזקים בה פ׳ אלו המחזקים אותה

One day I’ll expand more on this.

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

Been a minute - Chidushim are coming:
דברים א:ה ״הואיל משה וגו׳״
פרש״י ״התחיל״
התחלה בח׳ חידוש
א:י ״והנכם היום״
פרש״י ״משולים כיום״
ע׳ עירין קדישין דברים ד״ה אלה הדברים
ע׳ חגיגה ט״ו. אחר אמר ״הואיל ואטריד וכו׳״
כח החידוש תלוי ביכולת של��ו לרחם ע״ע על העבר ולהיות נוכח (הוה) פני ה׳

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

It’s been a while friends, just wanted to say to the world:
Everyone should read the book Sages and Dreamers by Elie Wiesel.
The appreciation it has given me and many others for the system of the Torah and its stories is truly invaluable.

The Ruzhiner says you shouldn’t feel held back or incapable based on the clothing you are wearing
Rather say to yourself “this is what I’m wearing now and I still must be a vessel for His blessings”
The association of my dress doesn’t hinder my ability to reveal Him in this world

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

A light was shown to us and the world, as we say in the Al Hanissim Prayer: "You made for Yourself great and holy renown in Your world."

Thus our intention at the start of this journey is to ready ourselves for the light from above being radiated upon us from above.

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

Lets begin our prep for Hanukah
The Ruzhiner explains the spiritual difference between Hanukah and Purim
The light shown on Purim steams from awakening from below. The people of the time fasted and prayed to be saved from Haman
The Light of Channukah: from an awakening from Above

[Samson Moshe Schiff @SamsonMoshe]

From the Holy Rebbe R’ Yehudah H:
“You know what they say about Cheshvan?
It’s only a few months from Purim!!”
Gut Purim!!
