New author interview! 📘
I spoke with Rabbi Tzvi Goldstein about The Wit and Wisdom of the Dubno Maggid—what inspired it, why it took 15 years, and what most people don’t know about the Maggid.

Pleased to announce that, after several years of great effort, my translation of Orot HaTorah is now available on Amazon! https://t.co/PPkJHabMYo
May the inner light of Rav Kook’s Torah dispel some of the darkness that has enveloped our world since the attack on Simchat Torah.

Just as one would not say, “I won't wear tefillin because I am busy studying Torah,” so, too, one cannot say, “I won't harvest my crops because I am busy studying.” חידושי תתם סופר https://t.co/NKO9tcC4dr

https://t.co/EFbbnAVMaA A Yom HaShoah story with a happy ending.

[R. Chanan Morrison @ravchanan]

As punishment for rejecting Timna, the Jewish people were cursed with the eternal enmity of Timna’s son, Amalek.
This error was redressed in the time of Mordechai, when “Many of the peoples of the land became Jews.”

Important message of #Chanukah: the miracle occurred, not with the Menorah - the vessel - but with the oil - i.e., the inner spirit.
We may suffer physical hardships, but our inner life should always shine with a pure light.

“Who are these? They fly like clouds, like doves returning to their nests!”
Rav Kook asked: What is the difference between the flight of a cloud and a dove?
Isaiah foresaw that the Jews returning to the Land of Israel would not be a homogenous group...

Just as the Levi'im carried the Aron above ten tefachim, we should use Torah to break free from the limits of our physical domain. #RavKook on #Terumah https://t.co/HLkstxHlEq

@jacobrichman So many kids on stage. +30 over last year at least.

לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן, חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶם

Rav Kook: We have 2 connections to the Land of Israel: our national ties - נַחֲלַתְכֶם.
And also the special connection between each individual Jew and the Land - לְךָ אֶתֵּן (in the singular).
