Man Wants to be a Creator

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/28

Today we start a new topic, as we enter the third week of שובבים / Shovavim , which is an acronym for שמות Shemot, וראה Vaera, בא Bo, בשלח Beshalach, יתרו Yitro, and משפתים Mishpatim, the six weeks that go through the exile and eventual redemption from Egypt. So for the next few weeks, we will discuss this topic. It's important to note that it has strong kabalistic ramifications. There are people that fast during these days and people that say Tehilim. We should at least know these days exist. For

2025/01/26

Today we continue with the Song of the Mouse , but on a deeper level. The עכבר / mouse says says, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְיָ כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי וְלֹא־שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי׃ (תהלים ל ב) I'm going to lift up Hashem because He drew me up from the depths, There's an interesting story in the Navi, in Shemuel א . It was a horrible day, when the Pelishtim took the Aron Elokim , as the Navi reports, The glory has been exiled from Israel for the Ark of Hashem has been captured. But Hashem immediately made a miracle

The Song of the Greyhound

2025/01/24

Welcome to our class on Perek Shira . Today's song is the Song of the Zarzir . There are actually two Zarzirs in Perek Shira . One of them showed up in the list of birds as a starling , and today's Zarzir , among the animals, is translated as a greyhound . What is the song of this zarzir ? זַרְזִיר אוֹמֵר. רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיְיָ לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה: (תהילים לג א) Sing joyfully, righteous people, because of Hashem. For the upright, praise is befitting. What does this song have to do with

The Song of the Cat and Mouse

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/23

Today's class is about what we'll call the cat and mouse game . It's a back and forth between the songs of the mouse and cat during a chase. עַכְבָּר אוֹמֵר The mouse says, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְיָ כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי וְלֹא־שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי׃ (תהלים ל ב) I uplift You Hashem because you lifted me up, and my enemies were not happy. Simply, the cat chases the mouse and the mouse sings before he is attacked. Hashem, my enemy won't get me. You'll protect me, you'll get me out of this. And the cat responds,

Today we study the song of the Fox הוֹי בֹּנֶה בֵיתוֹ בְּלֹא צֶדֶק וַעֲלִיּוֹתָיו בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט בְּרֵעֵהוּ יַעֲבֹד חִנָּם וּפֹעֲלוֹ לֹא יִתֶּן לוֹ: (ירמיה כב יג) / Woe to the one who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper stories (or attics) without justice, and who works his fellow without payment, and does not give him his wages. This is the Song of the Fox, talking about the man who's dishonest in his building and dishonest with his workers. Why is this the song of the Fox

The Song of the Wolf

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/09

Today is the song of the Wolf, from Shemot 22,8. Before we read the pasuk , we need a little context. It's talking about a person who steals money and is found as a thief. He has to pay double. זְאֵב אוֹמֵר. עַל כָּל דְּבַר פֶּשַׁע עַל שׁוֹר עַל חֲמוֹר עַל שֶׂה עַל שַׂלְמָה עַל כָּל אֲבֵדָה אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר כִּי הוּא זֶה עַד הָאֱלֹהִים יָבֹא דְּבַר שְׁנֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר יַרְשִׁיעֻן אֱלֹהִים יְשַׁלֵּם שְׁנַיִם לְרֵעֵהוּ: (שמות כב ח) Every item of liability, whether an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or a garment

The Song of the Lion

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/07

Today's class is the Song of the Lion. It's a pasuk from Yeshaya 42,13 יְיָ כַּגִּבּוֹר יֵצֵא כְּאִישׁ מִלְחָמוֹת יָעִיר קִנְאָה יָרִיעַ אַף יַצְרִיחַ עַל אֹיְבָיו יִתְגַּבָּר: Hashem goes out like a mighty warrior. He's going to arouse vengeance, He will shout, He will even roar above His enemies. He will be powerful. This refers to Hashem, Who will, in the future, go out and fight the enemies of the Jews like a roaring lion, a man of war. The comparison to the lion is obvious, as it's a roaring,

The Song of the Elephant

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/06

Today is the song of the elephant. What does the elephant say? מַה גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְיָ מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ: How great are Your deeds, Hashem. Your thoughts are very deep. (Tehilim 92,6) There are two interesting thoughts on the elephant in the Gemara in Berachot . One is in 58B, where it says that an elephant is one of the three animals on which you make a beracha when you see it " Meshane et HaBeriot/God makes strange creatures," So the Torah considers the elephant a strange creature

For You have been my stronghold, and a refuge in the day of my distress. To understand this pasuk we need to consider the context of

The Song of the Wild Animals of the Field

Daily Bitachon ·

2025/01/01

Today is the song of Hayot HaSadeh which we'll call the wild animals of the field. They say, Blessed is the One that does good for me and for others. Rav Chaim Kanievsky explains that Hayot HaSadeh are animals that damage like it says in Devarim 7, 22, " Lest the wild animals of the field overcome you," and in Vayikra 26, 22, in the curses " I will send against you the Hayat HaSadeh." Normally, people try to protect animals, even some wild ones. But wild animals that are out to destroy, people try

Song of the Mule

Daily Bitachon ·

2024/12/25

Today is the song of the Pered/Mule . As we know, a horse and a donkey make a mule. That doesn't even sound like a creature to me. What is his greatness? His song is: פֶּרֶד אוֹמֵר. יוֹדוּךָ יְיָ כָּל מַלְכֵי אָרֶץ כִּי שָׁמְעוּ אִמְרֵי פִיךָ: (תהילים קלח ד) All the kings of the world will praise You, because they heard the words of Your mouth. What does this refer to? We need to go to the Gemara in Kiddushin 31A, where it says the great Ulah made a derasha on why it says Imrei ficha / Words of Your

Many commentaries of the basic theme cite the Birkat HaShir, that tells us that a horse is an arrogant being. It says the Egyptians went to war

The Song of the Camel

Daily Bitachon ·

2024/12/23

Today we study the song of the Camel. It's a partial quote from a pasuk in Yirmiyah 25,30 גַּמַּל אוֹמֵר. יי מִמָּרוֹם יִשְׁאָג וּמִמְּעוֹן קָדְשׁוֹ יִתֵּן קוֹלוֹ שָׁאֹג יִשְׁאַג עַל נָוֵהוּ: (ירמיה כה ל) Hashem cries from above, from His holy abode. He gives a voice, He roars, on His dwelling place, He's crying over the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash. What does this have to do with the camel? The Chida, in his commentary on Perek Shira, says something fascinating. He quotes, "the angelic and holy

We're now the song of the Behema Gasa Tehora the large domesticated kosher animal. We already had the Song of the Ox, and therefore the commentaries say we're talking about the para , which is the female cow . She has a separate song: בְּהֵמָה גַּסָּה טְהוֹרָה אוֹמֶרֶת. הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב: (תהילים פא ב) Let us sing a song to God, our strength, let us sound the trumpet to the God of Yaakov.

Song of the Frog

Daily Bitachon ·

2024/12/17

Welcome to our daily Perek Shira class. Today's class is the song of the sefardea , which is usually translated as frog . The Sefardeah says, בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלַם וָעֶד: Baruch Shem Kevod Malchuto L'Olam Vaed This is an anomaly, as all the other creatures sing songs that are pesukim in the Torah. This is not a pasuk . So where does Baruch Shem Kevod Malchuto L'Olam Vaed come from? From Yaakov Avinu, who told this to his children when they said Shema Yisrael. When they accepted
