Biblical Faith - with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
The Three Pillars Personified
The forefathers Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov were the foundations of the Torah world. They personally embodied the three foundations of the world: Torah, service and kindness. Kind deeds were the outstanding characteristic of Avraham, who is noted for his hospitality to guests. Yitzchak, who willing approached the sacrificial altar, exemplifies the service of HaShem. Scripture associates the Torah nation with Yaakov, as it says, “Moshe commanded to us the Torah, the inheritance of their congregation of Yaakov” (Devarim 33:4).
The mussar of the Men of the Great Assembly and of Shimon HaTzaddik consists of three components, as do many of the statements in this tractate. This is because three elements embrace the total perspective: Everything has two opposite extremes and a middle that unifies those extremes into a whole. For example, the pillars of existence are: the animal sacrifices of the Temple service and its opposite, kindness, and Torah that binds them into a total, balanced system.

The power of speech differentiates man from all of creation. And with the power of speech comes the power to bring good into the world and sanctify creation, or to bring evil into the world, and denigrate creation. Moshe used speech to achieve the former. Bila’am, the heathen prophet, used speech to achieve the latter.

Welcome to Project Shofar
The redemption of the Jewish People from the ancient Egyptians was a demonstration to the entire world of the existence of its Creator. The continued existence of this same Jewish People is meant to serve the same purpose. Yet, throughout the ages this tiny people has been exiled from its homeland and driven out of nearly every refuge it sought. It has been persecuted and murdered by nearly every nation in the world, and, in spite of these efforts to destroy her, this ancient nation, at its weakest moment, right after the holocaust wiped out a full third of its population, reestablished her sovereignty on the soil of her ancient homeland.
Clearly this was and is a supernatural event. From its inception and to this very day the nations of the world have sought to destroy the tiny Jewish State. What they refuse to consider is the fact that this state came into being as part of a Divine Process which was predicted in the Bible. The Jewish State is proof of the existence of the Creator of the Universe.
Gary Cooperberg has been sounding the ancient trumpet of Israel, the Shofar, and calling out to all who will listen that time is running out. Biblical destiny is not stoppable, but needless tragedy is. An American who is also an Israeli citizen and has lived in Kiryat Arba, Hebron, for well over twenty years, Gary Cooperberg makes regular visits to the states to speak out to all who will listen about the imminent Biblical Redemption. If you would like to invite Gary to speak in your area, contact him.

Holiness in this World: Maimonides’ Hilchot Beit HaBechirah - Laws of the Chosen House, chapter VII: The Holy of Holies, the holiest place on earth: What is holiness? How can we become holy? Can a place or time be imbued with sanctity? Torah teaches us an emphatic yes to all these questions. And the soul/time/space nexus where the holiest moment of the year, (Yom Kippur), and the holiest spot on earth , (the Holy of Holies), and the individual who represents the holiest possibility of man, (the Kohen Gadol – High Priest), meet and merge together is nothing less than the entire purpose of creation.

Biblical Faith - with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
“Torah Study, the service to HaShem, and kind deeds
Torah study provides personal worth. The study of Torah builds spiritual, eternal beings out of mortals. The physical body is finite; it must come to an end. In contrast, Torah imbues a person with conceptual attributes: values and morals: principal and reason. Since these are not physical, they are not finite and never come to an end.
Personal worth comes through internalizing the values and principles of Torah and in no other way. It is in this way that Torah is a pillar of existence, for it molds us into whole and worthy beings.
The service of HaShem refers primarily to the Temple service of sacrifices, but it includes the service of HaShem through the performance of all mitzvous. The service of HaShem is a pillar of the world’s existence; it gives worth and wholeness to human existence in the context of the relationship with the Creator. Since the only existence is that of HaShem, everything else must relate back to His own existence, and provide that linkage through the service of HaShem.
Kind deeds, the third pillar, correspond to the third dimension of life: being integrated with others and good to them. To perform as act of kindness, without personal gain, is the highest degree of pure and enduring human worth. Kind deeds between one person and another induce a corresponding flow of kindness from HaShem that sustains the world.

In this age of instant access to endless information, we are tempted to try to know everything! Is curiosity necessarily a good thing, or is it sometimes, as our sages suggest, an offshoot of arrogance?
True wisdom is in the acknowledgment that there are things that lie beyond our intellectual grasp. This wisdom is the portal to purity.

The Significance of the Number “Three”
It seems superfluous for the Mishnah to count how many things were said; after all, we can easily count them ourselves. The Mishnah states “There are three things” to teach that the remedy consists of precisely three parts. No less would be adequate and no more required.
The number three is characteristic of a complete entity. An entity consists of three parts: two opposite extremes and an intermediate part that joins with those extremes to form a unified whole.
Consider a house. Inside is a haven of refuge and tranquility; outside lays the danger and the harsh elements; and the structure joins these extremes. We can fortify a house in all three dimensions. We can protect it from outside forces with a windbreaker and good water drainage. We can protect the inside by eliminating fire hazards, and we can brace the structure the house itself. All of those areas must be fortified, and there is no other area available for improvement.

We will conclude by praising HaShem who has guided us through the mysteries of the creation, with words of Yeshaya ben Omotz haNovi (40), which recapitulate most of the subjects we have discussed in this sayfer:
Who measured the waters with His tread; the heavens by His hand breadth; calculated with a gauge the soil of the earth; weighed the mountains in a scale, and the hills in a balance?… Don’t you know? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Don’t you understand the foundations of the earth? Raise your eyes to the heavens and see Who created these, Who brings out their hosts by number; He calls them all by name, with great energy and power; not one is missing… Herald of Tzion, go up to a high mountain; raise your voice, news bearer to Yershola’im, shout do not fear; say to the cities of Yehudi, “Here is HaShem!” HaShem will come in strength; His power is overwhelming; His reward is with Him, and His payroll is before Him. Like a Sheppard He will graze His flock; with His arm He will gather lambs, and in His bosom He will carry; infants He will lead… A voice calls in the desert, “Make way for HaShem, make a straight path on the plains for HaShem.” Every ravine will be raised, and every mountain and hill will be lowered; the crooked will become straight, and the heights will become valleys. The glory of HaShem will be revealed, and all flesh together will see that the mouth of HaShem has spoken.

Remembering free food in Egypt: How could the children of Israel have eaten free food in Egypt, when, as slaves, they even had to provide for the raw materials for the very bricks that they were compelled to produce? It wasn’t the monetary value of the food that they were referring to, but the idea that they were free from responsibility, free from the “yoke” of Torah, the covenant of Sinai.

Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Tanchuma, KiTisa 36 writes: When Moshe was in heaven how did he know it was day and when it was night? When HaShem taught him Torah Shebichav, the written Torah, he knew it was day; when He taught him orally, the Torah Sheball Pe, the oral Torah, the Mishnah and Talmud he knew it was night.
Day and night are defined by the revolutions of the earth. The hemisphere facing the sun experiences day, the other, night. When it is evening at one spot, it is still day not too many miles to the west. If so, what relevance does day and night have in heaven? At any given moment, at every hour of the clock, it is day and night different parts of the globe.
If we are inclined to avoid this difficulty by assuming that Moshe was interested in day and night at Har Sinai, from where he came and where Israel was encamped, we still have not resolved our troubled mind. The G’morrah (Avoda Zora 3B) informs us that HaShem Himself has a – very mysterious – schedule based on the hours of day and night.

How does praying in the direction of the menorah or the Lechem haPonnim (the table of bread)? Two answer this we must understand that the divine service that we perform is not for HaShem’s benefit but for ours, as HaShem proclaimed (Psalms 15:8-15):
I will not rebuke you over your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are before Me always. I do not demand an Ox from your house; Billy goats from your pens. For all the beasts of the fields are Mine; the animals in mountains full with wildlife. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the creepers of the field are in My possession. If I were to hunger I would not tell you, for the world and its fill are Mine. Do I eat the flesh of Bulls? Do I drink the blood of Billy goats? Rather, slaughter for HaShem an offering of thanks; pay to the Highest your vows; then call Me in the day of trouble; I will save you and you will honor Me.
