A Burning Desire – Pinchas

Bamidbar 25:11 “B’kano Es Kinosee Besochom”

“In his zealously taking up my cause..”

When The Gaon Rav Yehuda Leib Chasman was the Rosh HaYeshiva

of Chevron Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, a number of bachurim in the

Yeshiva decided that they would like to go and hear a famous secular

speaker at a public gathering. It was well known that this person held

views that were opposed to, or in conflict with Torah values. Rav

Yehudah Leib found out about this escapade, and asked the bachurim to

explain to him how they had the nerve to go to such a gathering. They

replied that they had absolutely no interest in what he was saying and

furthermore that it had made no impression upon them whatsoever,

but they simply wished to hear this great orator speaking.

Rav Yehusah Leib beame quite upset upon hearing this and said:

“Let me give you a parable to illustrate this case. Imagine that you saw a

great fire burning in an Aron Kodesh and the fire had already begun to

burn the Sifrei Torah inside. What would you think of a person who

went over to the blaze to light his cigarette because he had an insatiable

craving to smoke?!”

shabbos dress code

Despite the fact that it is summer and the weather is hot, we ask that parents maintain the appropriate standard of dress, which means at least school attire for their children coming here on Shabbos.

Advanced Halachic Bulletin

Rav Sheinberg Shlita holds that according to the strict letter of the law, only music that brings one to joy e.g. chasuna, is forbidden during the three weeks

Some opinions hold that only live music is forbidden during the three weeks

R. Moshe Feinstein z”l held that listening to music during the three weeks is prohibited, whether it is live or recorded.

If the musical entertainment is incidental it is permitted.

Singing in praise of HaShem at a Seudas Mitzvah without musical accompaniment, is permitted.

Have a wonderful shabbos!
