The Beis of Creation.: Tzaddik Magazine: "Tzaddik Magazine
Tzaddik Magazine: "This is the essential message of Chanukah, and it is a completely new concept having nothing to do with what transpires during the regular annual cycle. Chanukah draws its power from a place far beyond our conception, infusing us with such great hope, despite our inability to see the “light at the end of the tunnel.” This gives us a point of faith from which to draw, infusing us with a spirit of life. The light of Chanukah is a completely different type of light, since its source is higher than the seven days of creation. ""

My Rebbe the Rebel - Reflections

My Rebbe the Rebel - Reflections: " dropped out of high school. The year before I had been on the honor roll, and this year I was the grade ten president -- but now I had no interest in following the established order.

When my parents made it clear that room and board were contingent upon my completing high school, I found a tutorial college that allowed me to take my exams that spring. And so, I found myself two years ahead of the game. Free -- in my father's words -- to associate with the fringe members of our society."

My Rebbe the Rebel

By Tzvi Freeman


No one rises above the earth by tugging at his own hairs. A prisoner cannot free himself from his prison. He needs first to bond with one who is already free.

And so, at an early age, I was looking for someone who could guide me -- a mentor, a guru. But who will be your guide when you beat your own path?

My path has always been like those of the deer in the forest -- skipping over, squeezing and breaking through, steering far from the clear highways that everyone else travels."

My simple goal my first website was on the World Wide Web, right before the World Wide Tragedy Known as 9/11 took the Free World by surprise when the became the victim of an unprovoked Terrorist attack on September 11. 2001:

Tzniut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tzniut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Notwithstanding these details, the concept of humility and modesty as a positive character trait, a practice, and a way of life—a "way of walking"—is also taught to be important in Rabbinic literature. This awareness informs the concept and the practice of Tzniut in its rules and details.
[edit]Practical applications

[edit]Dress
The principal guiding point of tzniut in regard to dress is that a Jew should not dress in a way that attracts attention. This does not mean dressing poorly, but neither men nor women should dress in a way that overly emphasizes the physical or attracts undue attention."

The Yeshiva World Shidduch Crisis? Part II « » Frum Jewish News

The Yeshiva World Shidduch Crisis? Part II « » Frum Jewish News: " concerned parents, therapists, and community activists who have noble intentions in their pursuit to solve the problem. Yet, unfortunately, my personal experience, confirmed by many peers who responded to my article, sees a misguided response.

Labeling the situation a crisis is in itself an inappropriate approach to the whole scenario—one which, if anything, only strengthens the hysterical sense of anxiety and panic. The unspoken implication of the term crisis creates a “victim mentality” toward and among those perceived as hostages of the crisis—usually taking the form of rationalized gossip, such as: “Oy, she’s still single?! What a nebach! This crisis is just getting out of control!” The “nebach” knows that he or she is being analyzed, and this judgment is severely disturbing to one’s sense of self."

Qabalah Lessons 13 and 14

Qabalah Lessons 13 and 14: "Qabalistic view of the universe, the universe is separated into four close but distinct 'Worlds.' These worlds came into existence with the creation of the sephirot (spheres) by the Path of the Flaming Sword. The four worlds each formed out of the previous world, each evolving from the previous world. As the worlds formed they became more substantial eventually reaching physical manifestation in the very last world."

Judaism 101: Hebrew Alphabet

Judaism 101: Hebrew Alphabet: "Many letters in the Greek alphabet have similar names and occur in the same order (though they don't look anything alike!): Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta ... Zeta ... Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu ... Pi ... Rho, Sigma Tau.

The 'Kh' and the 'Ch' are pronounced as in German or Scottish, a throat clearing noise, not as the 'ch' in 'chair.'

Note that there are two versions of some letters. Kaf, Mem, Nun, Pei and Tzadei all are written differently when they appear at the end of a word than when they appear in the beginning or middle of the word."

Gideon Bohak: Hebrew, Hebrew Everywhere? Notes on the Interpretation of Voces Magicae

Gideon Bohak: Hebrew, Hebrew Everywhere? Notes on the Interpretation of Voces Magicae: "One of the most com-mon features of such studies is the recurrent attempt to find a Jewish origin for thisor that word and explain it, “etymologically,” by way of Hebrew or Aramaic.
2
Thiserror is due in part to the scholarly refusal to accept the fact that the origins of many
voces
still elude us and to the desperation informing the attempts to find a solution,any solution, to a nagging crux. It is also due to the fact that some
voces,
as well asother elements of the “international” mixture of late antique magic, indeed are of demonstrably Jewish origins, and that the Jews had some reputation in antiquityfor dabbling in magic,"

What Hashem Wants?

What Hashem Wants?: "not satisfied with our current status or lot in life, but are often clueless as to which way to turn to remedy the situation. By refusing too look at the big picture, we are simply cutting ourselves off from many of the potential remedies that are available to help us overcome the current obstacle. By having access to the wisdom of our holy Torah, we can attempt to grasp the situations that our ancestors were faced with and try to learn from the mistakes, or errors which they committed"
