The Boat That Saves Us - Ki Tabo

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/09/10

The Boat That Saves Us - Ki Tabo Ki Tavo el ha’aretz… — When you come to the Land… (Devarim 26:1). This week’s parashah begins with a mitzvah of gratitude: bringing the first fruits to the Beit HaMikdash. For us, it also stirs deep gratitude — that so many of our children and grandchildren are already settled in Eretz Yisrael. Baruch Hashem, the dream of two thousand years has become their daily life. And yet, alongside the joy is a touch of sadness. FaceTime is nice, but it doesn’t replace a

The Mikveh, Sunset, and Hashem’s Completion - Horayot...

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/09/09

In this week’s Daf Yomi (Horayot 5a), the Gemaradiscusses the status of a tevul yom — one who immersed in a mikveh but has notyet waited for sunset. The Torah says explicitly (Vayikra 11:32): וְטָמֵאעַד־הָעָרֶב וְטָהֵר “…he shall be tamei until evening, and then he shall betahor.” The question jumps off the page: If immersion in the mikveh purifies, why is it notenough? Why must the Torah insist on waiting for הֶעֶרֶב שֶׁמֶשׁ? The Gemara • Horayot 5a: discusses a tevul yomwho is still lacking

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/09/07

Yesterday , in Parashat Ki Teitzei, the Torah said: כִּי־תֵצֵא לַמִּלְחָמָהעַל־אֹיְבֶיךָ “When you go out to war against your enemies.” This week, in Parashat Ki Tavo, the language shifts: וְהָיָה כִּי־תָבוֹאאֶל־הָאָרֶץ “And it shall be when you come into the Land…” The transition is profound. • Ki Teitzei is about going out—facing struggle and battle, both external and internal. • Ki Tavo is about coming in—arriving at blessing, permanence, and sanctity. The mekubalim explain: if you want to

2025/09/01

The Torah tells us:לֹא־יָבֹא עַמּוֹנִי וּמוֹאָבִי בִּקְהַל ה׳… עַל־דְּבַר אֲשֶׁרלֹא־קִדְּמוּ אֶתְכֶם בַּלֶּחֶם וּבַמַּיִם בַּדֶּרֶךְ בְּצֵאתְכֶם מִמִּצְרָיִם וַאֲשֶׁרשָׂכַר עָלֶיךָ אֶת־בִּלְעָם בֶּן־בְּעוֹר… (דברים כ״ג:ד–ה). “An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of Hashem… because they did not greet you with bread and water on the way when you left Egypt, and because they hired Bil‘am son of Be‘or to curse you.” Now wait. Let’s be honest. Which crime sounds worse? Moavhired

2025/08/31

“Two Wars and the Calf in Between” — uncover why the Torah repeats כִּי־תֵצֵא לַמִּלְחָמָה twice, and what it teaches us about Elul, seliḥot, and responsibility for one another. he first appearance is in Shoftim: כִּי־תֵצֵא לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל־אֹיְבֶיךָ וְרָאִיתָ סוּס וָרֶכֶב עַם רַב מִמְּךָ לֹא־תִירָא מֵהֶם כִּי ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ עִמָּךְ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם.

You are Never Alone – Shoftim 5785(Based on Rabbi Elimelech Biderman שליט״א, with additional story from Rabbi Shlomo Farhi שליט״א) My friends, imagine this: you’re walking on a long, empty road.

This week’s parashah, Shoftim, commands us to build asociety of justice. In a powerful op-ed, Charles Kushner warns French PresidentMacron about the rise of antisemitism in France.

Elul’s Hidden Name: ה־ה־ו־י and the King in the Field

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/08/24

In this Rosh Hodesh class we uncover the hidden Name of Elul — ה־ה־ו־י — concealed in a single pasuk of the Torah. Why is Elul’s Name spelled through endings, not beginnings? Why does it unite Binah with Malkhut? And how does this month become, in the words of the ḥasidic masters, the “neshamah yetera of the year”? Join us as we explore the Arizal, the Bnei Yissaschar, the Baal Shem Tov, and more, to prepare our hearts for the Yamim Nora’im

Opening Your Hand… and Your Heart - Parashat Re’eh

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/08/11

Every single day — not once in a while, but every day — in our synagogue, there are people in line at the door asking for help.Some we recognize, some are strangers passing through. They come with letters, envelopes, sometimes with tears. And if you think about it — many of them come hoping that today will be the day their prayers are answered. There’s a danger here. Not that we’ll stop giving — but that we’ll start giving without feeling. That our hands will stay open, but our hearts will

Testing Hashem - Todays Halacha from Parshat Ekeb

Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi ·

2025/08/11

Testing Hashem Halacha 08112025 Devarim 6:16: “לֹא תְנַסּוּ אֶת־ה׳ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, כַּאֲשֶׁר נִסִּיתֶם בַּמַּסָּה” “Do not test Hashem your God, as you tested Him at Massah.” This forbids challenging Hashem to “prove” Himself by fulfilling our conditions. The Torah is recalling the incident in Shemot 17:1–7: • The people had no water and demanded: “הֲיֵשׁ ה׳ בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ אִם אָיִן — Is Hashem in our midst or not?” • They challenged Moshe to “prove” that Hashem was with them. • That place was

Sefer hachinuch lists 22 Misvot this week. One is not to forsake the levi. Halacha of the Day on “לא לעזוב את הלוי” — Not to forsake the Levi (Sefer HaChinukh mitzvah 505 in most editions). 1. The mitzvah is from Devarim 12:19: “הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ פֶּן־תַּעֲזֹב אֶת־הַלֵּוִי כָּל־יָמֶיךָ עַל־אַדְמָתֶךָ” “Guard yourself lest you forsake the Levite all your days upon your land.” The Levi’im were not given a portion of land in Eretz Yisrael — their livelihood came from the ma’aser rishon (first tithe) that
